You know Iโ€™m not interested in predictions. Yes, I hope the Bruins make it to the Stanley Cup and win it all. But Iโ€™m not betting my lifeโ€™s savings on it. And most sports fans arenโ€™t that reckless with their money. But when it comes to money and investing, the stories are crazy.

Itโ€™s not unusual to hear horror-thons about betting the ranch on what turned out to be the next best thing. You know the stories as well as I do. And as Your Survival Guy, you should know by now Iโ€™m more interested in the return of assets rather than the return on said assets.

Investing. This isnโ€™t a game. Itโ€™s hard to work to save and invest and to one day say, โ€œHey, Iโ€™ve got some assets to tend to,โ€ like theyโ€™re your flock of sheep. Your Survival Guy is just fine hiding in my cave with a nightly fireside discussion about staying safe and keeping out of the fray.

Iโ€™m just fine letting others think theyโ€™re having all the fun. Iโ€™m busy prepping for the storm when the black swan comes swooping in.

Action Line 1: Join me in my cave. Come in from the storm. Itโ€™s quite cozy in here.

Action Line 2: You donโ€™t need to be greedy in times like these. Tend to your lazy cash with these rates.
