Re:Ask HN: How can I prepare for hard economic times? by hackerfromthefu on Monday March 14, 2022 @07:08PM (#30679728)
This is very costly advice financially, because getting good at these things takes significant time and mental energy. The opportunity cost that could be redirected into getting a high paying career so you have discretionary funds and learning safe investing should be weighed up against this.

However costly things can be worth it, it depends on your situation and preferences. But don't underestimate the time involved in learning broad ranged skills to look after a house, land, food production, repairs, survival skills, prepping etc which op is talking about.
