About $1,500 invested in crypto and stocks. 

We own a triplex here in CA (as well as our house), and are strongly considering moving to CO in 3-6 years. 

I've heard horror stories about getting cash from apps like Robinhood, trading in crypto for cash and so on.

One of the worlds top experts on infinite banking.I’ve done a regular whole life policy & it’s now aged & primed to borrow low rate policy loans against it.I’m not doing more personally as I got attacked with a $500k+ debt bomb a couple years ago that was not in my control right as we are facing a violent economic storm & dollar currency collapse.I recommend people move assets they don’t want to lose & grow into silver & crypto!

I don't trust the stock market, don't knowcryptos, and I don't want to stockpile gold, silver, or rare coins.

I'm not a CPA, financial expert, stock market broker or even highly educated but I can tell you that there was no chance I would be pulling six figures a year profit from my 401k today if I had left it sitting.That is the success story side of the coin.

I bought my first house in Los Angeles that I "house-hacked" before the term was even coined back in 2003 (way before the crash).  

Since you gave the rose tinted glasses scenario in case of default let me give the other side of the coin. 22yo E-4 gets married and buys a house out in town, rolls his funding fee into his mortgage and lives there for three years. 

I'm out of Phoenix and I have heard both sides of the coin.

There are a few solid meetups in Columbus - COIN and COREE are two of them.
