The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I've explained how my portfolio has (for decades) been largely been international in nature - in both equities and currencies. I know that, for possibly other reasons, Jim does as well. I'm wondering what the viewpoint of others is and I'm curious about whether they have addreesed the possible futures differently and, if so, in what fashion.

I wish I knew. I hear the DANGER DANGER WILL ROBINSON voice in my head, and am looking around for how to respond to it. So far that is taking the form of simply becoming more nimble, with our primary residence under contract and moving our things we can't yet bear to part with into storage at our vacation home, that costs us less than $4K in costs per year to own. From here on out it is an existence as global citizen, as we figure out where we want to investigate in depth, really hoping that things improve enough in 2026 that we can go home again. With each place we travel to, we narrow down the criteria for the future a bit more.

Stay tuned, I guess. Paradigm shifts aren't easy.
