Investing - Theory, News & General • In a grinding multi-year bear market/recession, what would you liquidate first?

I mis-read the title as "WHO would you liquidate first?" ....

That's funny.
Though it really wasn't THAT long ago that selling one's children into forced servitude was considered a last resort.
With all the criticism I hear leveled against contemporary society, it's reassuring that people nowadays are only considering bonds, stocks and real estate.

Once my Tarot reader confirmed that the downturn was indeed going to be a multi-year recession/bear market, my plan is as follows:

Year 1: liquidate daughter #1's beanie baby collection.
Year 2: liquidate daughter #2's Pokemon card collection

I could be wrong about this but I think the beanie baby and Pokemon card market collapsed and never recovered. That also happened to the 2021 NFT bubble, so if you are thinking of financing your retirement by selling the Sad Ape Yacht Club NFT you paid $10M for, you might want to reconsider.
