they might survive the apocalypse but good luck living without the internet 😂

So markets have been down the last 3/4 years and just because they started going up you think market’s getting stupid?

The ending says why inveting is important. But then says you're not an investor if you buy stocks lol ok

The ugly future of America's Social Security system is rooted in the fact major shortfalls ahead must be addressed in some way or another. This will not be easy and will most likely disappoint a lot of people. brucewilds.blogspot.com/2024/04/the-ugly-future-of-social-security-huge.html

Investors and speculating.. two different things

I think one of the biggest reason people get to 65 and don’t have much is that they think they can always start saving later, and before they know it, it’s later and they never started saving and investing.

Employment is up! Instead of working one job for 100k, now I can work THREE jobs for 25k each!

But look how pretty all their white elephants are!

The recession is here, where do investors look at for wealth gains now? mortgage rates still on the rise with higher imports and lower exports, yet the Fed is to lessen cost. Something will eventually break if they keep raising interests and quantitative tightening.

I am currently in my 50s and This is no time to taper retirement savings. I want to max out my retirement contributions and I also have another $380k in a savings account that i want to invest in a non-retirement account. Where should I invest it now?

eat the rich

every day the fallout series seems more and more like reality

Just remember, anyone who doesn't conform is an extremist!

All being rich guarantees you at the end of the world is that you’ll either be the first one pillaged by the mob or the last one to starve.

The absolute worst people on Earth sponsored by you

I’m grateful this channel exists, because it always helps to have a consistent reality check to tune into. Thank you for offering solid takes on the economy and giving it straight so we can decide for ourselves how to respond.

Imaging investing a dollar in something, hoping to make 15% when you could use the same dollar to pay down credit card debt and save 30%...

Oh, think tanks think for the people and get paid well.

they mean hustlers and drug dealers and people that work on the black market

Unfortunately, this video was just propaganda and had no real information. People’s problems aren’t due to $6 eggs, it’s their $1200/mo truck payment. People have been making bad financial choices for a long time, and now they want to blame low-income immigrants for their problems.

Billionaire doomsday bunkers-- a necessity for billionaires. Millionaire doomsday bunkers, a genius idea (in which *someone* should get payed for conceiving, even if its not original.

We are entering the age of "Full John Galt." This is a time where society and politicians are rapidly dismantling the rights of ownership. This transfer of rights constitutes a transfer of wealth whether we wish to call it by that name or not. While we may not be at our end, or the end, it is understandable why so many of the most capable contributors of our economy are now moving towards the sidelines. Capable and smart people do not have to work hard to make ends meet and are proving this by going out and enjoying life rather than working to support those that won't. When people decide to remove themselves from a game they see as rigged in favor of those far less deserving it is an indication that at some point even Atlas will shrug and let the world fall. More on this subject in the article below. brucewilds.blogspot.com/2021/07/we-are-entering-age-of-full-john-galt.html

Also, welcome to debt. This is how the wealthy will sell us products while taking what little we have in terms of income or savings. Credit cards, overdrafts... And when we exhaust it all, we'll lose it all, and they'll move on to our kids.

The morr I watch these videos. The less hope I have for humanity. The world is fucked.

I haven't really seen the "one click subscription cancelation" enforced

I wanted to make this video😭

Prices HAVE NOT STABILIZED. Super markets at least disguise this by holding big sales.And then when the price goes back to "normal" , it's HIGHER... And even a twenty percent off or thirty percent off SALE ITEM more than previously. IT IS A DECEDPTIVE STAIR STEP MECHANISM. Many but nearly all FRESH grocery items 60% to 80% percent more per pound And a few years ago. Don't forget that the cost of transportation (given fuel increases & truck maintenance ) and the cost of FINANCING OPERATIONS has increased too. "Disinflation" Is simply a decreasing rate of inflation, but when it's compounding upon prices that have NOT fallen back the OUTCOME might be a 2% price increase of a dollar amount that is 3% to 3.5% or more HIGHER n the same mominal mark-up increasing mon-sale prices would have been a few years ago. No matter how you count it...displayed prices and on sale prices CONTINUE COMPOUNDING.

We were warned about this, but sadly, too many people misinterpreted the warning as a promise, because that's what the social media sphere propagandized it as. "in the future, you will own nothing, but you will be happy." The Freemium videogame model is all about that.

All fine and good, but what’s up with putting Trump’s head on some dude in a suit Trump has never worn in his life? 2:55

Advice that one gives for a fee. Should have a code of Hammurabis Law over it.

HMW is going the way of second thought this is a massive W

I used to put a lot of $ into sports cards no more 90% of my is going to accumulating more BItcon

One thing I really disliked from the Democratic side was the idea that the economy is doing great, and like you said in this video, it technically is if you cherry pick the stats. I understand that for the incumbent, it’s expected they be a little more positive, but this example was simply insulting.

It’s not their habits lol. There were actual supply chain issues decreasing supply and the quantitative easing with no interest rates and stimulus led to consumers having more disposable income. It’s not as complex as you’re making it. Just supply and demand

Nintendo would be worth more than Dogecoin if they'd actually sell all their games (including vintage) on arcade. I want to download Mega Man X2 and OWN it on my hard drive.

Overworked, underpaid, and your purpose is to make rich people richer. That's not much motivation to stay in the grind. I wonder how many of these might be freelancing. Maybe that was covered and I missed it.

Good, keep it going ya’ll

The other researcher was spot on about the underground economy i was shocked it took so long for that to be mentioned. You can have a shitty low prestige job or take a chance at making quite a lot of money illegally

great content thanks

Coding in banking and finance is the future. Head East and you can find a decent job building the new financial systems for BRICS. Even the average worker will benefit from knowing SQL and Python just to sort through meta data for your work.

David Bach calls it the latte factor. It is meant to symbolize your wasteful daily expenses. It’s not about buying coffee, it’s the DAILY cost plus the extras. The “daily” and “extras” part of this equation is what makes the “coffee” a problem. Latte $5 Banana bread $3.75 20ish days a month $175+/month. It adds up.

It's called social engineering. Wind the people up so much until something breaks.

Subscriptions…and ads! More and more ads! 😠😖

I am a landscaper in Maine. I mow the lawns of mega mansions and million dollar vacation homes nobody even visits once all year. The vast majority of the lawns I mow all summer are seen by nobody, because the owners never even visit once all season. These vacation homes are three times the size of most people's regular houses, and very very modern and expensive. Cobblestone walkways, in ground pools, in ground hot tubs, tennis courts, gargantuan luxury style fire pits, bus-sized brand new RVs that never even move, lines of 4 wheelers and dirt bikes, classic cars, you name it, they got it, and they don't even live there, these are secondary fun-houses to them. These vacation homes would blow your mind and 1000 new ones pop up every single year here. I make 20 dollars an hour. It is time for fire and pitchforks.

Greed is going to kill us all!

You DO NOT retire until you can afford it! I retired with a pension at 51 1/2. I had to sit out a year before returning to teaching as a substitute. I subbed for 6 years full time. I took 2 years off and am now subbing at a private school. You have to sacrifice when you are young and put money away. You should be able to live off of your pension and have the other accounts and TSA for big item tickets. Teachers and substituting for teachers are ALWAYS needed.

Cartoonishly short sighted. Just building elaborate tombs to commit suicide in. Ironically these people NEEDED the society they destroyed, not the other way around.

Company I was at went full remote during the pandemic. Their lease for the office building was coming up for renewal. They decided not to. Instead, they invested way more money into a downtown location, then ordered us back to the office. They created the need to use commercial real estate when they were in a perfect position to reduce their office lease line item significantly by just not renewing their lease. Instead, they not only committed to office space, they upgraded. Big, big turnover. They didn't care. It was owned by a PE which is just interested in sucking the brands dry before they're killed off.

Buy? Who said anything about buying? You will rent your small apartment, subscribe to individual streaming services, you will call for car service for when public transit doesn't go where you need. You will continuously play live service games and pay monthly fees for them. Welcome to our new subscriber culture You will own nothing, and you will be happy.

VERY simple solution for millennials and genZ; STOP buying shit! That’s it. When we stop spending, stock prices will tumble. Invest your money into gold or bitcoin. Ask for higher wages at work or start your own company.
