I made a couple 'Tarriff pause' purchases but am going into financial lockdown now for the foreseeable future. What about you guys? Planning to tighten your purse strings? (slrpnk.net)

I expect that others are in the same boat and that we’ll see a downturn in consumer purchasing very soon.

I'm planning that by the end of the Atlantic Storm Season is over to literally be in my boat sailing away. Beans rice fish bananas & plantains are my life now because cheap cheap cheap. Recently took a job at a boatyard to learn, network, used parts, reduced prices. So far shaving between $500-$1000 month of prices, so bravo me.

Then head to Central or South America to make major purchases like solar, controllers, tech, CE ... etc. Tariff stuff. Mexico and Panama seem to have decent trade agreements with China.

And I'll reflag in Panama too.
