Everything is fucked and it looks like its just going to get worse. I don't know what you should invest in but whatever keeps your family safe and eating is probably a good idea. A few years ago I started seeing the ads for 0% down for $500k+ properties for families making less than $100k/yr and the only thing I could think of is that it looks a lot like 2008 all of a sudden.

An assumable mortgage allows homebuyers to take over a seller's existing mortgage rather than applying for a new one, thereby allowing them to take over the terms, including the interest rate. These transactions were popular in the 1970s and 80s, and now with current mortgage rates hovering around 8% and millions of homeowners locked in at rates much lower, assuming a seller's loan is becoming more attractive again."
