Hi Cheryl, love your post!
Since I came to Jordan, my income has been from investments that I make usually in the field of technology but also with some small businesses.
I try to always have cash on hand, in fact prefer not to keep money in the bank.
I think CBDC (digital currency) is coming but hopefully not too fast.
I think it's good to invest in some gold and silver as this is the best hedge against inflation.
I have heard the real estate market is slow. Also it is harder also harder to have loans as the banks are more and more cautious.
I have heard a lot of people who study the markets and trends who say that the best investment is food and water and also agricultural projects.
