I’m thinking that even goods not from those countries will increase because of ¼ of the goods go up because of tariffs, the other corporations will see it as a way to make more money, like “screw it, raise everything, what are they gonna do?” type attitude.
I just stopped caring about money. It’s a construct and a tool. Lack is a mindset, not a state of being. If you think abundance, you reap abundance regardless of what’s existing outside of the reality that’s happening in your mind.
To help clarify, money is a tool. Hammers are tools. I do not get all hot and bothered if I’m low on hammers or run out. I know how and where to get more. Further, the number of hammers I have has no bearing on MY potential or worth. Hammers come and go. They’re meant to be used as I see fit.
Now, I need to treat my hammers with respect and handle them the way they’re meant to be. If I throw them around, I might lose them. Or they might not be there when I need them if I don’t put them away.
I know you mean well, but please don’t create fear. Talk about how to breed abundance in any economic climate for the good of all. You have a wonderful intention, but you’re worthy of abundance, so if you start showing it to others, you’ll unearth if for yourself.
Deepak Chopra’s Abundance is a profound read for dialing this in.
…and boycott your ass off! BDS. ✊ Delete, disengage, withdraw and avoid big retailers, grocers, media & social media platforms, suppliers, and corporate biz - take money OUT of the pockets of the two-headed parasite class (to the extent you can). And JOIN A UNION.
Reading this gave me the smallest sense of relief for just a second. Thank you for sharing helpful tips like these! So many of us are beyond fearful at this point
I’m curious though…it looks like oligarchs are betting on our stock market collapsing. Can anyone speak to that? If it does, where is a safe place to have money stowed? Do we want it in cash? Or in crypto? Or stick with the stock market?
I was actually just going to comment on this post that it would be a bad idea to invest more in stocks right now. Nearly all economists I follow are saying the exact opposite. Our stocks are over valued (bull market according to them) and they fully suspect the market to crash. People are starting to drop their spending. Markets don't do well when that's the case. Some experts are expecting a crash that's equivalent to the 1920’s financial crisis.
If you're going to continue investing in stocks, best thing to do is diversify your portfolio. Expect to lose a massive chunk of your money when it does crash. Obviously talk to a financial advisor for more specifics.
I am Saving so much by not shopping at Target 🥺😳🥺. Walmart (never did). Amazon. Marshall’s brands (ouch). And paying attention to where I spend money. Wish more people paid attention and we had a real national boycott
NO ONE ever validates comfort spending as a way to maintain your mental health and sanity. Thank you for that.
These are great tips and I’m definitely hitting up HMart this weekend to stock up on my Asian comfort foods 😭

Financial advice that incorporates humanity? Here for it. Solid advice I’ll be taking. Bravo.
Thank you so much for this Leo! You had me at 'hotties'! Great ideas that I'll be following through on.
Thanks for this list!
The only money I’d put into crypto is what I’d feel comfortable losing at a craps table in Vegas. It’s not investing - it’s speculating.

I’ll be filling my pantry with the staples of Indian cooking. That’s our comfort food.
This is an incredible list. Thank you so much for sharing!
