Not saying you should. The fact remains, though, you're already investing it in real estate in an all-eggs-in-one-basket situation, inflation & property taxes are real, and insurance costs. Real estate still has some risk compared to low-risk assets that appreciate: do you remember any recent real estate crashes?
Investment accounts are generally insured (against things going missing) up to high limits, and you can split them up to fit in those limits.
If it all goes to shit, practically none of it will be worth much anyway. If armageddon doesn't come to pass, you'll be stuck with some property, livestock, crops, so not all bad.
Yep, seems the safer gamble to me. At least I'll be happier than renting.
