The conventional wisdom of "buy equities regardless of price" doesn't make much sense to me. I can temporarily convince myself it's the smart thing to do, but the thought of putting my money into stocks just makes me sick for some reason. I can't do it.
I've missed out on a great deal of money hoarding cash instead of stocks, but I have peace of mind. The cost of inflation is worth that to me. I have felt that a crash -- a real crash, i.e. a change in public opinion about the equity markets -- has been just around the corner since 2016. I'm much less worried about the prospect of a dollar crash, even with today's inflation.
This is not investment advice and is only my personal opinion.
I really like FreeBSD. I would very much like to run it on one of my laptops, but wireless NIC driver support has been an issue, so I'm currently running OpenBSD on one instead. Next time I buy a laptop, I'll probably buy one that can run FreeBSD.
