'offshore bank accounts' - feasible for the little guy? (lemmy.world)

US - For the first time in my life I'm not living paycheck to paycheck, but now that I've got a bit of savings it feels like the US dollar and economy is on the cusp of death.

I'm wondering if I should split my bank account into another one that isn't affiliated with the US, maybe even have a percentage of each paycheck go to that one automatically. The thought being to not have all my eggs in one basket.

No idea the best way to go about this, or if it's even remotely a good idea. What do y'all think? Any relatively stable economy to shoot for / ease of opening/accessing an account in a country I'm not physically in?

This is new territory for me - my financial planning historically hasn't gone much past comparing the price tags of 40 lb bags of rice, so... Idk, I have no idea what I'm doing. I have this dread that the income I have now is about to become worthless, and not sure how to protect myself from that.

fiat cost average into Monero. You don't want to use Bitcoin just simply due to the fact that then you are advertising your worth to everybody on the planet. And Monero does not do that. Any fiat currency is going to be subject to whatever government whims and dictates control it.
