    And then not be eligible for government insurance because you have too much money and go bankrupt paying for medication. Plus the million other little cuts and stabs you will take. Your kids had to go to higher ed and if you don’t help them they can’t. Someone tripped on your property and sued you.

    What I have learned is this: invest in what can’t be taken away by a financial group or their judicial lackseys. Your skillset, property that has complex financial structure, your tools, your family, your reputation.

    Your bank doesn’t want you custom laptop but you with your knowledge have income with it. Your insurance company doesn’t want your house that has crazy agreements about who owns it that would take a generation of lawyers to sort out. Your government doesn’t want your brother-in-law who lives abroad and runs a farm you helped buy. The guy suing you doesn’t want your professional network. What those parasites want is money without effort. So only own the stuff that requires effort to use.
