One study published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics found that domestic violence rates increase by about 10% on days when NFL games are played, particularly when there are unexpected outcomes or high-stakes matchups.

Well im a bit suprised that smuggling increased it that much but numbers dont lie

some historians speculate that the total number could have continued to rise due to the increase in criminal activity associated with the illegal alcohol trade.

What kind of things could a person carry to sell and how if they ever had to forcibly leave?

I read diamonds are worthless second hand.

Solid gold seems legit but not sure if coins or jeweler is best.

I saw something about getting gold chains to trade individual links in a emergency.

Are there any other good tips?

Edit: Put in a Consolidation effort based on comments and side research

Jewelery is good getting through customs as some countries have limits on what you can take over borders. Canada for example has 10k limit before you have to delcare and it is not clear if per person.

1.a) Always buy jewelry you plan to wear anyway because you will not get full value back.

1.b) Buy from reputable locations. Looks like Mene was a popular one.

Gold coins are good but get normal ones like Eagles, Buffalo, or Maple as it's easier to sell. Fancy ones are cool as collector item but will require more haggling.

2a) Bars are cheaper over spot but can be harder to sell overall

2b) Seems like libertycoin had consistent reviews.

Cash is light but if your origin country currency dips then it's worthless.
Crypto requires you to have your wallet seed and importantly access to a pc and electricity.
Make sure to have a backup skil/trade to live off of.
Transferring money between banks can have legal issues.

My grandmother bought the home we lived in the 90s for 90k at a 8% interest rate. I found out she refinanced the house several times from what seems like predatory practices and malicious advice and now owes 250k at 6%. Basically the house I thought was paid off now has 30 mortgage and she is 90. Her grandkids are in the will to inherent the house but do we inherent this mortgage?

Well after 10 years I just got banned by ADAfruit indefinitely for not shipping to my home address. I don't know wtf that was about. I think they banned both addresses so I screwed my friend over. Anyone know of any other alternative sites?
