    Rant incoming. I’m trying to rent a apartment that is less than 1/4th of my salary but I might not get it because the landlord is too stupid to understand 80% of my salary is stocks so they won’t show up on a paystub. This is the people that love to label themselves as savvy investors. God damn it. Rant over.

    why don’t you just buy a house?

    My president just consolidated the three branches into one so I’m holding up in case I have to flee.

      I tired to rent an apartment once. I had 100k in liquid in my bank account. I showed them this but it wasn’t good enough. I’m 1099 and officially make very little money (it’s all above board and legal. I have a CPA.)

      They needed paystubs. I don’t have pay stubs. I don’t even get paychecks.

      It’s kind of a weird catch 22 for them. They’re ok with some bloke making 20 bucks an hours with nothing in savings as long as he can “prove” his income but someone with actually money is just too much of a risk.

      As off we’ll be allowed to flee, or that the dollar will be worth anything by then.

        Learn skills that will be easily transferable across countries. Look for a country you would like to live in, learn the language if necessary, research where they are hiring.
        Do it before Trump’s third term, there will be a lot more chaos then
