Just spent the week crunching the numbers for me and mine, and it looks like its going to get tough soon. Most of my leads/income sources have told me 2019 will be a little tighter, so diversification may be in order.

I am not too proud to do shit work, including teaching abroad or driving trucks.

How are you planning to overcome the slow down?

Well for sure stock market is not doing well, real estate market is already showing sign of slowing down, cost of goods are increasing, trade talks are not going well. Yep 2019 will be a rough year for sure.

Another economic fall? I invested in small little fruit farms. And any folks open to rolling your IRA into real estate, I say YES!

I’m NOT a financial advisor, but land is a little more secure than stocks. Right? 🤷🏽‍♀️

Angler has it figured out. And Prostate chica does not. But I like how she "tested us". And you are absolutely correct, you are not a financial advisor. Otherwise, you would be ........ Never mind. You know already.

PS is investing in "small little fruit farms"

Look into the alternatives... small big fruit farms, big little fruit farms, big large fruit farms...

Jack fruit is a large fruit with a promising future IMHO

GDP might be slightly down in the 3rd quarter, but will probably be in the 3.5 range. Don't forget, Obama said 2.0 GDP growth was the new normal and don't expect 3 or 4. The world GDP is sliding and that will have some effect on global markets, which of course does effect the U.S. But wage growth is at 3.0+% for the month and consumed confidences continues to be very high.

Just keep preaching doom and gloom. Our economy is far better today that in the past 10 years.

11 more days of 500 losses on 5he DOW and the market will be where we were at.

You guys bring up that we are record employment but just remember it is just as easy to let someone go as easy it was to hire them.
