(Ill try to explain myself without giving too much away) As things seem to be getting worse worldwide I've been considering looking into alternative forms of currency, either by getting physical stuff like gold/silver or possibly investing in a crypto. The problem here is my family is on Sec 8 and obviously don't have that much, even though one of the family members is disabled and is working at a corporate retail store (though they may consider quitting if their disability worsens). Also regarding crypto, from the little I know of it you have to mine a pc to earn it? I'm not sure how this would work considering while we did get a desktop during the summer (due to obvious reasons) my mother is a stickler for wanting this abode in order (that wouldn't be a problem for me, but she has OCD and likes the home organized a certain way) and the desktop hasn't been taken out the box yet. I do have a laptop, but it is old to an extent and has a cracked screen. I have the money (in gift cards) to get a replacement but (1. I don't know if I should save that money for more important things, 2. Its on Amazon, and I'm not really a fan of any of the corporate businesses) and yet if I were to get it fixed I may be able to make money (table scraps really) going back to making game walkthrough (over saturated I know, but it's more old stuff) as well as having an actual computer in the building, unlike the school ones that are very limiting. There has also been an interest in wanting to move in a supposed yr somewhere else, though where I'd like to move and where the rest of the family would want to is likely different.
If you were in my shoes, what action(s) would you take, if any?
And just in case, don't say to invest in ammo, I tried to suggest this around the time the riots started and was shot down. Now my mom thinks someone tried to break in to where we stay and NOW wants a gun, and ammo is now scarce from what I understand.
there doesn't seem to be anything here
