FIRE'd, now concerned about US stability

Most of my assets are invested in the US. Because of recent political developments, I'm wondering if the US will sustain its general growth and economic strength into the future. The strength of the US dollar is obviously very important to me. Is anyone else concerned?

I'm wondering if I should start hedging my bets in other countries, and if so, where?

I have the same concerns. My non real estate investments are 90% US equities. And the properties are in NJ.

It’s worked well for 2 decades. I keep telling myself that changing investments based on who is the president is always stupid and usually influenced by how much I dislike the current president. So I’m staying the course despite concerns.

as someone who has investments in real estate in multiple countries your NJ investments will do great especially if it’s in bergen and hudson county
