No plans. There’s nothing for it.

No special plan. Working in public service, I am sure there will always be things to do for me, so I don't worry.

Jerking dudes off behind a dumpster is recession proof employment.

I heard there's a nice peaceful forest in Japan I could visit for a little while.

None, I am already running on the existential minimum.

And I don't see that changing in the next few years.

Im trying to speed run affording a cheap plot of land and to work it to make it self sufficient but close enough to a major city that I can still travel for work if needed. Ideally I’d like a electric vehicle that I can charge on a semi-off grid system but that’s a much longer term plan. I essentially want to return to homesteading/semi-subsistence farming. With current tech and tech around the corner, I feel like with the right moves you can do it with minor to no loss of modern luxury comforts. If I can mostly feed and house myself then logically I only need to work part time for mortgage payments and land taxes, and stray costs of fixing stuff.

it’s kinda like that vegan argument that’s been made lately, that no one is demanding you quit meat cold turkey even reducing is a MAJOR win. It’s hard to quit my participation in capitalism cold turkey, growing my own food, producing my own solar electricity, and overall reducing my consumption needs and having self reliance is a win.

that, and the only true reliable wealth in life is having access to productive land imo. Vegetables grow in the garden all the same regardless of stock prices, and the root cellar still keeps your jarred supplies cold. Im under no delusions of surviving any apocalypses but I will be much safer for some nasty recessions.

also, I just think this kind of lifestyle would be neat. I’d probably do it anyways even if I was dirty rich. It’s my version of a project car in the garage. A project homestead in the woods.

Self-employed tradesman, ill probably have to get a normal job. Which sucks for everyone, I keep my costs way lower for customers but digging up business and doing the work is a real challenge. And obviously ill miss my freedom. But at least ill just have to pull my 40hrs.

Maybe change careers? My job will end soon and I'm looking for something more stable and values-aligned rather than exciting. I figure people need houses -Any structural engineers want to chime in on how to get into that work late?

I'm going to take a massive dump!

Wife works for a gov in a very stable position, keeping costs below her salary is how we plan to.

I think I'm on the safe side, emplyment-wise. And if it turns out I'm wrong, I have a lot of contacts, so I don't think I'd stay unemployed very wrong.

My mortgage is on a fixed rate until 2032, so while financial adjustments won't be fun, they probably won't be devastating either.

Which recession is that?
