He discusses the rising cost of owning a car, with an emphasis on insurance and additional expenses, and highlights the increasing number of home foreclosures across the U.S.

Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.

Your best option if you are unfamiliar with the markets is to seek advice or help from a consultant or investing coach. I know it sounds simple or generic, but talking to a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. For me, it's the best method to enter the market right now.

Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with 'Tenley Megan Amerson' for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.

Thanks for sharing, I just liquidated some of my funds to invest in the stock market, I will need every help I can get.

This is what happens when corporate greed is more important that citizen sovereignty. We need to stop being consumers and start being human beings. Lets bring back American pride, morality, common sense, fill in the blank ________, and on and on. Americans need to start coming first.

Thank you very much!

They John. I plan on buying a 2-3 year old Toyota Corolla in the next 7-8 months. I will trade in my 2015 Mercedes and pay cash that I’ve been saving separately so I do not have to pay in interest and be in debt for liability. Do you think that is a wise decision?

[@johnmacgregor3106]

Great question....I love the idea of buying a 2-3 year old vehicle, just as long as it isn't loaded with miles and you have a mechanic check it out. That Mercedes is only depreciating by the day. Sounds wise to me

Tesla owners has something else to say.. I don't understand how you came to that Tesla expense of 90000 conclusion.

[@johnmacgregor3106]

It's the "all-in" costs of buying a new Tesla plus the additional costs of owning it over a 5 year period. Not my stats, these came directly from a research org. Thanks

@@johnmacgregor3106 Please share the link, I am pretty much sure, they have got the information wrong in it. Or it is being paid by GM, Ford, TOyota, Stellantis, or any non tesla companies out there.
