Well that
wasn’t exactly the landslide we were promised.
Obviously
there are a lot of unknowns right now. But regardless of who ends up being
declared (or ruled) the winner, there are a few things you can count on:
The
nation will remain divided. About 50% of the voting population will be even
angrier than before. Conflict will likely escalate, along with peaceful
protests.
Governments
at various levels, including state and local, will continue to take on
dangerous quantities of debt and make financial decisions that are
incredibly costly over the long-term.
Raging
mobs, whether in the streets or on Twitter, will continue to advocate
taking what you have earned, and forcing you to abide by their absurd
restrictions on thoughtcrime.
These
issues weren’t literally on the ballot. But that doesn’t mean you can’t
have a landslide victory all on your own.
As I
wrote yesterday, every step you take
in crafting a Plan B is a vote for yourself. And with enough votes for
yourself, there is no way you can’t win, regardless of
what happens in the world.
Plan B’s
are different for everyone because we are all in unique situations, and we
assess the threats to our livelihoods and families differently.
Do you
live in an urban area, and need to escape riots and strict lockdowns?
Or are
you looking to protect yourself against the rise of antifa and Socialism in
your country?
Well, if
you feel the pressure to find a backup plan for a place to live, you have
lots of options.
This
could range from moving to the countryside, or going across state borders, or
leaving the country entirely.
For some,
having a second home in the woods is sufficient protection. Others will
want a second citizenship across an ocean.
And
through each door, you will find other doors. For example-- you can gain
second citizenship in a number of ways, from ancestry, naturalization,
investment, even marriage or adoption.
When it
comes to economic fears, there is also a range of Plan B solutions.
Inflation
is going to be much less destructive if you own gold and silver; it might
even increase your wealth.
But even
then, you have more options-- if your home is in the path of peaceful
protesters, you may want to consider storing precious metals at a private,
secure facility overseas.
This also
gives you yet more available choices, like borrowing against your precious
metals using a peer-to-peer lending system which can give you liquidity
when you need it.
And then
there are countless other ways to store value outside of money-- art,
collectibles, even vintage firearms.
Some
people may be concerned about feeding their family if supply chains slow
down. We already saw a preview earlier this year as many food processors
had to close down due to Covid.
(And the
CEO of the largest pork producer in the US warned there may be meat
shortages as a result of Covid.)
In this
case, productive land where you can grow food might be attractive. Land can
also be an excellent store of value, or an income generator.
Other
people might be concerned about rising tax rates, especially at the state
and local level.
But when
it comes to lowering your taxes (or protecting yourself against higher
taxes), yet again there are branching paths of opportunities.
Unwilling
to uproot and move? You could still benefit from a solo 401(k). That
structure also protects you against problems with Social Security, which
now looks like its key trust funds will run out of money in 2029.
Do you
have large capital gains? It’s not too late to take advantage of
Opportunity Zones.
Ready to
pack your bags and seek greener pastures? Consider Puerto Rico, where you
can lower your tax bill to just 4%.
Or move
to a foreign country and earn your first $107,600 tax-free through the
Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Double that amount if you are married,
plus add tens of thousands of dollars more for housing benefits.
The
possibilities are endless. And again, many of these tactics may just be
plans, i.e. you might not actually need to move… but have everything ready
in case you ever pull the trigger.
The more
of these Plan B items you check off your list, the more secure you will
feel. And all you have to do is start. Just take the first step.
If you’re
in line for citizenship through ancestry, make an appointment at the
nearest consulate. That’s a vote for yourself.
Buy a few
ounces of gold or silver, and there’s another vote. Begin your compost
pile, plant a fruit tree, or start to learn a second language. Each of
those is a vote for yourself.
You may
be shocked to find that the next election won’t worry you in the least
because you’ve already achieved a landslide victory for yourself.
You’ve
created a rock solid Plan B, taken your power back, and are prepared for
whatever comes your way. All it takes is one vote at a time.
To your freedom,

Saw you response on Twitter about splitting America into two nations [socialists vs conservatives] We're aleady there, just need to make it official.
The way we're being railroaded by a cheerleading press & socialist media patriots need to think about hunkering down & developing gray man strategies.
