Suze Orman’s Guide to Surviving Trump Tariffs

[@Jakepattison42]

Tariffs will increase costs of finished goods and components used throughout US manufacturing. This will be an immediate and huge hike in inflation. To fight inflation the Fed will have to hike interest rates which will be wonderful for the billionaires but possibly take away the middle class. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

[@CindyValenti]

A collapse has began!!! Rich people know this.... they are hedging... through hedge funds. It costs them about 6% a year to do this. Those that aren't rich are not hedge and are at great risk in the bubble of all bubbles with the debt at all time highs. The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, The stock market's volatility, coupled with a reduced income, is making me anxious about having enough for retirement.

[@Pconradsmith]

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $110k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 400k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.

[@Derekhoffman312]

That sounds like a good idea. Could you share some details about your financial advisor? How can I get in touch with her?

[@Jpoteete]

This is very insightful. Hope you don't mind me asking you to recommend your advisor?

[@Pconradsmith]

Her name is. Annette Christine Conte’. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@sarawilliam696]

I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards financial freedom and retirement, but since '20 pandemic, the economy so far has caused my portfolio to underperform. My question is this; do I look into alternative sectors, or keep contributing to my 401k?

[@brucemichelle5689.]

diversification is the key, that way your investment is balanced and you don’t get to make so much risks or losses And Keep in mind you were not alone. The market was down generally. Hard not to be stressed but it’s part of the business today.

[@NicholasHarmon-ow3jl]

Truth is, not everyone can be a successful trader/investor, my job doesn’t permit me the time to properly analyze my holdings or evaluate stocks myself, so I've had a trusted advisor actively restructuring my portfolio over the past 5 years now, summing up nearly $1m in return on investments ... maybe you should do the same.

[@PatrickFitzgerald-cx6io]

Many Americans suffer a lot financially under Capitalism. They simply don't understand (or don't want to face the reality) that Capitalism is what they should channel their frustrations at, rather than at one another, or at China or Russia. Under Capitalism, financial crises are created every certain number of years, it's not a stable economic system. The idea that Capitalism will bring a trickle down economy, has been proven again and again not to be working. As long as so many Americans continue to vote for the two mainstream political parties (Republican and Democratic), both which are aligned with the extreme implementation of Capitalism in the United States, the country will continue to endure financial hardship caused by inflation and other adverse outcomes of Capitalism, such as huge inequality. The U.S. government (and many of its people) thinks it still manages / controls the world. It no longer does ... It's time for implementing Socialism in North America, similar to the one with Chinese characteristics that's implemented in China, or at least the Social Welfare Model of some European countries, by all conscientious people starting to vote for the Socialist Party of the United States.

The U.S. government (and many of its people) thinks it still manages / controls the world. It no longer does ... It's time for implementing Socialism in North America, similar to the one with Chinese characteristics that's implemented in China, or at least the Social Welfare Model of some European countries, by all conscientious people starting to vote for the Socialist Party of the United States.

Call your local senior center and ask them about senior housing for low income! You can still have money in a savings account and that is barely taken into consideration. You are basically going to pay about a third of your income, whatever that income is monthly.

[@Cyclegirl-i3r]

@hollandgem2 I appreciate your info. Im good with my home. I own my home and dont have a mortgage. I'm very fortunate that way. Still insurances have risen so much that it's still difficult to manage on top of utilities and other expenses. It's difficult for everyone right now. Again, although I worry, I'm still very fortunate. Thanks again😊

[@dannynavarro1270]

She is so right about health insurance for retirees .. going through it with my mother right now switched her to at an advantage and was denied three times to continue her stay for physical therapy. I had to get on the phone and plea my case why my mother should continue to stay in rehab. It’s just horrible all the way around there’s no way my mother would’ve been able to do half of the things that I am doing.

[@jannichi6431]

Some Mother's have already tried. Glad you persevered and successful. 💎You certainly could help at the Senior Center or a grassroots business? ☘️

These Medicare Advantage Plans have the common nickname of Disadvantage Plans for a reason. They are only good while you stay healthy, but when you become sick, they stink. They shouldn't even be referred to as insurance. Trumps pick to head CMS has been hawking these plans on TV for years, due to his conflict-of-interest financial motives. Hospitals love them because they pay out so little in claims. Insurance cos. love them because they receive such high commission fees hawking them to the public.

[@jimmylieb5225]

avoid Medicare Advantage like it is the plague!!

[@catpaladin1]

@@dannynavarro1270 I am terrified that trump will turn legacy Medicare over to Medicare Advantage. If he does that it will be just another vehicle to take from others to give to the oligarchs. Medicare Advantage currently costs the government 22% more than legacy Medicare does. So he is lying when he says it will save money. It will further line the pockets of the wealthy while denying care for the people who pay into it.

[@darlynns9997]

Advantage is the worst insurance to have, there are 2 different KZbin reps who report on what types of plans to pick from, believe "Medicare school" one is called. I chose supplemental N, it's a traditional plan. The company I retired from paid for a group to help us with Medicare selection, I just told them what plan I wanted, rep told me it was an excellent choice. Commercials on TV only push the "Advantage" plans for a reason.

My nieces kid was surrounded by dozens of all sorts of plastic toy christmas presents and wasn’t particularly interested in any of them - he already has everything. When I was a kid many years ago all I got was the basic meccano set I had been craving for and can still remember it seventy years later. I feel sorry for the kids of today, they’ll never have that feeling.

Suze Orman is a hero. She talks reality. Only Suze could come up with a security case to keep personal documents and have it made out of the material of a fireman's helmet so that it is impervious to fire, smoke and water. She walks the walk and talks the talk and never forgets from a spiritual point of view that there are people less fortunate that she is. Chris, i don't know that you read this. Someone below said have her on more often and I feel that that would be a very good idea. People are going to need her and I don't know that they know how much they will need her.

[@suchaturi]

Eliminating the FICA contribution Cap for Social Security would mostly solve the problem of social security running out of income. And it could be done in 15 minutes. Currently, people making over $168,600 (in 2024) do not have to pay FICA tax for Social Security on their income above that amount. This is just another legal way to allow wealthier people to keep more of their money. Where is the fairness there? People making under $168,600 pay 6.2 percent on all of their income while the employer pays another 6.2 percent. Self employed pay the full amount. Why should wealthier people pay FICA on a smaller percentage of their income that those less wealthy?

[@angelinacisneros7831]

[@El4-p1c]

Well, that's what the naysayers like to spout. But, I ask them this-if he is a failed businessman, then why does he have so many luxurious penthouse style properties spanning the globe? Plus, he has a beautiful family and many women have slept with him or still want to sleep with him even at 78 yrs old. Maybe we would do better if we saw him as a role model of sorts for the young people of this country. Also, his "Art of the Deal" highlighted his astute literary style and I'm sure it has sold many more copies than anything Suze Orman has put out there.

​@@El4-p1c😂😂😂 do you get paid to be a comedian?

[@dianefrohwerk7494]

@@El4-p1c Please do some research regarding how Trump makes his money and it has to do with him being found guilty of falsifying his business records. He has conned more people than you can imagine. He conned people who attended his fake university, his family conned a cancer charity and he scammed $250 million for his fake defence fund that didn't even exist, just to name a few. As for his book "Art Of The Deal", you do realize that he didn't write that book, but it was written by Tony Schwartz. Trumps whole life is nothing but one big con. To this day he is conning all his supporters by selling them a ton of crap. But I'm curious to know why his sleeping around would even be considered a triumph? It just proves he lacks any morals and he's an adulteress, low life cheat. I couldn't name one redeeming quality about him

Credit cards will be the bane of most people's existence. I can't agree with Suze more. If you buy anything with a credit card, just double the price. I can't even guess the amount of interest I have paid over the years. Please, please youngsters, only use a credit card if you absolutely have to, and can pay off the balance within 2 or 3 months.

Trump is ONLY about one thing. TRUMP! and how much he can pad his pockets. The one simple thing to save social security is to take the earnings cap off. That would sustain social security for at least the next 75 years. Anyone who makes over 175k needs to pay into FICA
