I know a local pawn shop owner, and what he tells me is REALLY disturbing. He tells me everyday people are coming in trying to sell every item you can think of just to pay the monthly bills. He told me he's never seen anything like this, and he's been in business since 1981!! He even had to hire a security guard because of the amount of people coming in, many of which don't buy but are there to steal. I've been there to visit him and it's so freakin sad hearing peoples stories and just the look of fear on peoples faces, somethings got to give.

This is bigger than what you see. I was living in my truck for 7 mos to save my retirement to find a home. Did my laundry every weekend and met families living in their cars, the man worked at night the women took care of the kids then the women worked in the day. I started donating to the laundry fund to help these families. Many houses had 10 cars in their front yard, families renting a spot. Most of these people lost their rental as the result of Zillow buying properties and rentals doubled in price, the reason I went homeless. I have a good civil service retirement, worked since I was 12, a Vietnam Vet and to preserve a comfortable retirement I live abroad with a normal woman and I pay my taxes in America. This is worse than the depression that stole my grandfathers property.

Congrats. Your ability to control the whole risk profile of your investments and prevent irreversible capital loss will be your actual financial unlock. A plan must be in place to take advantage of opportunities to profit when they arise.

[@GeorgeDean-km3wm]

When you first start off, you should get advise from a fiduciary counsellor if you don't want to crash and burn. They adopt a profit-driven approach based on individual risk tolerance because their entire skill set is built on simultaneously trading long and short.

[@Jersderakerguoe]

Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

[@SandraDave.]

this sounds considerable! think you know any advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation

@@floridacrackerguitartips6004 HAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHA ya NEVER have any facts - - - BIDEN CLAIM: “President Biden and Congressional Democrats’ plan to grow the economy from the bottom up and middle out, not the top down, is delivering for the American people. President Biden and Congressional Democrats have worked together to grow the economy and create a record number of jobs.” The President says that his Administration has: “Created more than 13 million jobs; brought the unemployment rate below 4 percent four years before experts projected and kept it there for the longest period in more than 50 years; and achieved record low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanics, people with disabilities - and the lowest unemployment rate in 70 years for women.” FACT CHECK: Recovery Versus Creation Nearly 72 percent of all job gains since 2021 were simply jobs that were being recovered from the pandemic, not new job creation. In fact, when looking at today’s economy compared to pre-pandemic levels, employment is up only by 3.7 million, not 13 million. On the other hand, in his first 2.5 years, job creation under President Trump was 5 million-1.3 million more jobs than the current President in the same time frame after factoring in the recovery from pandemic.

[@jryecart8017]

@@floridacrackerguitartips6004 BIDEN CLAIM: “(President Biden) proved that a strong recovery and support for households brings more people into the workforce: a higher share of working age Americans are in the workforce now than at any time in more than 20 years and higher than on any day of the prior Administration.” FACT CHECK: Labor force participation was stronger under President Trump. The labor force participation rate remains 0.7 percentage points lower under Biden than it was when President Trump was in office. When adjusting for population gains, nearly 2 million more Americans are on the sidelines today than they were during the previous Administration. BIDEN CLAIM: Under President Biden, American families are “better off than before the pandemic: Americans have more net worth and higher inflation-adjusted disposable incomes and a lower uninsured rate.” FACT CHECK: Wages are NOT keeping up with Biden’s inflation crisis. Real wages are down over 5 percent since President Biden entered the Oval Office. Since President Biden took office, the average worker has lost over $4,900 in real wages. BIDEN CLAIM: The White House is “working to bring down the cost of living, including by lowering drug prices. Inflation has come down 11 months in a row.” FACT CHECK: Inflation is still high and causing economic pain. Americans are still feeling the sting of this inflation crisis-prices are up 15.5 percent under Biden. Inflation remains over three times higher than just a couple years ago. The average family of four is paying $13,717 per year or $1,143 per month more to purchase the same goods and services as in January 2021.

Things are really tight. My dad went into the hospital last year and had to stop working after his 3 month stay. I helped as best as I could and mom went back to work after 17 years. He still had to pawn all his tools to catch up and it took him a year to get them all out. He even fixed his old car that was broken down when he got out. They had lost the other car. 50 year old guy rebuilding an engine for a few hours everyday with stage 4 kidney disease and sleeping the rest of the time from lack of energy. He is doing a little bit better a year now, but still sleeps most of the day and now works 6 hours over the weekend delivering pizza. Just so he feels like he is doing something.
