Shore up your financial house.
1- Get out of debt
2 - Find a source of perpetual income (I like rentals)

1 - Massive tax reform takes away many RE investor/homeowner deductions to help pay for baby boomers costs.
2 - Mass amnesty of foreigners into U.S. is approved for a) people under 30, and b) people who are employable, skilled, or willing to start a business in the U.S. (This will be done to attempt to beef up the tax base by 30 million people in 10 years.)
3. Stock market is closed a couple of days a week to slow down sell-off.
