40 year olds, what financial advice would you have for a 30 year old? (sh.itjust.works)

50 and older, I'm sorry, but in my personal experience, your advice has been a little out of date.

Get out of the U.S.

And go where? Do you realize how hard it is to immigrate? Even if you're successful, find a cowpany who will sponsor a visa, everywhere I look seems to be taking sharp right turns. AfD in Germany, crazy grandchildren of literal Nazi collaborators in France, the grand daughter of Mussolini is prime minister of Italy. UK is doing whatever the hell it is that they do.

I’d still rather be in Canada or the EU.

And I totally realize how hard it is. I’m fucking stuck here. The U.S. has turned into a gigantic prison. It’s just my advice m. If I could expatriate I would. But realistically I’m just going to stay here and vote and then the maga Nazis will probably kill me at some point when they start their own final solution. I’m just sayin’.

I'm not really up to date on Canadian affairs, but I would absolutely not be surprised if they have anti-american sentiment and actively try to discourage or prevent people from immigrating to canada, specifically US citizens.

I’m pretty sure they are and from what I’ve seen the polls say they are not happy with us. Go figure.
