God, the whole “money lying around the house” bit in the first couple minutes reminded me of my great great grandma Emma Muilenburg (née Collison) who had a couple thousand (I think) stashed away in various places about her house.

After she passed away and her kids went through her belongings in her house, they found enough money to pay for a her funeral, and even then, there was enough money to split between all three of her kids.

Hi Michael, I am going back through a bunch of your videos and I have to tell you your collection of videos is simply awesome! Some of the best content available here on YT. Your presentation style, topics, flow of dialogue, etc... are all great. However the one thing that I am getting is a strong sense of nostalgia, I mean a really big wave of it! The music in the background is so important and it sets the fingerprint and the tone/mood of the videos with such a strong impact that when certain songs are played it is like the nostalgia volume knob gets cranked to 11! And if that is not fun enough my son saw me here and commented on how he remembers watching these videos together - one could not ask for more that this. your content has been part of the fabric of the past decade for me and my sons! A part that makes all of us smile! Thanks for making such entertaining, high quality content!

Well, they give themselves a yearly budget for what the government is gonna fund, and for decades now they have always exceeded that budget by millions or even billions every year and borrowed that amount from.... somewhere. And so, over time, all that cash has gotten bigger than they'll ever be able to pay off, due to interest, unless they do something drastic like spending their annual GDP on nothing but paying it off for decades, which is never gonna happen.

I can see the effect of you all watching vsause in this reply section No one is on point , I mean he just meant to brun a amount of money of someone else so his money will value more For example : a person has 1000$ burned, it means that the value of $ will rise as it is now is lesser than it was before.
