Dame DJ
Writer in London, United Kingdom
I married young, divorced young, had two children young, starved young, remarried a couple more times and went off and lived in a few different countries.
The USA boomed in 1990s and it was a sight to behold. Every month accelerated the exciting, confident, energetic, and unshakable atmosphere, but along came the Chinese competition, & I saw the writing on the wall. No one listened and the rest is history, I got out of dodge & returned to Europe.
I liquidated, removed all financial obligations, sold what I thought to be overpriced assets and "downsized" to everyone horror.
I see ones personal freedom and liberation in being liquid, unaccountable with low maintenance costs
My comfort is I can lock up and leave, at short notice with relative, and comparative loss.
