[quote=Anonymous]You mean if I knew that this was coming would I have made different choices?

YES.  But, there was no way to know.

So, what would i have done if I had a crystal ball?  Travelled outside the U.S. more with my children. Travelled to Japan and Australia when I had the chance.  Traveled to France and Italy and Greece.  Bought a vacation home in a more remote location - preferably in a different country that still had first world healthcare (Canada?).  Bought a smaller house and saved more aggressively so I could (perhaps) retire earlier and move to that more remote location.  Had my children apply (and hopefully get in) to a competitive online middle/high school like Stanford Online High School.  Work part-time to support my children in online studies.  Spent the money to buy solar battery storage for our solar panels.  Bought an electric vehicle so that I wouldn't ever have to go to a gas station.  Learned how to sew and bought a sewing machine.  Started a victory garden and learned how to successfully garden in our backyard.

But, hindsight - no use thinking about that now - gotta play the hand I have now.[/quote]
