I was just talking about this. I am not sure when things changed but I know my parents were impacted. In the late 70/80's (my memory) jobs stopped paying as well and were harder to get. My step dad eventually did some government supported education retraining (i cant remember the name of the program). Also, retirement benefits and insurance coverage changed to much lower quality. I have memories of my parents worried talks about the direction of things. I remember feeling sad for them. I think about the same time higher education started being used more as a ceiling or barrier to upward mobility (hence my step dad feeling he had to go back to school which did help them some but not truly making a difference financially). Some jobs became out of reach where before you could learn from within and move up. I know that can still happen today but I feel like there was definitely a shift for most blue collar or individuals who didnt gonon to higher education. Like compared to my grandfather who had nice solid pension worked his way up in a company, had a genuine pride for the company and his role, had good home and savings. Much harder for my parents who worked very hard too but often their companies shut down payed very little or had no benefits. I was younger then so my thoughts are around memories and noticing these changes as a younger person. Anyway wanted to comment, I don't hear people talk about this much.

My parents, God Bless Them, got into camping when I was 10 years old, 65 years ago. We camped everywhere in primitive campgrounds with no adminatives and loved it. When they retired, they crisscrossed the USA, camping and loving it including three trips to Alaska and camping each day except for Saturday night when they stopped to find a church to attend Sunday morning. Monday, back on the road to the next adventure and continued doing so for sixteen years. Yes, they paid cash for it all, Airstream and truck. What they needed was all paid for in cash by saving for it including their retirement plans in camping across every state including beautiful Alaska with no credit cards, just travelers checks, for those who remember them. Lord, I wish those days hadn't ended. We would have been so much better off today if their weren't so many people in debt up to their eyeballs.

[@claycan2]

I too remember my parents using Travelers Checks when traveling when we were kids. They saved money for a whole year to take us on one vacation trip. I remember clearly the book of $50 checks kept in my mother's purse and how she handled it so carefully. It was our means for travel and living on the trip. As you said, credit was not used for such things. My parents never had a gas card. They didn't get a credit card until they were in their 50's and that was only because they needed one to make a hotel reservation. It made my Dad mad that he was forced to get one! My, how times have changed. Thanks for sharing your story sir. It reminded me of where I came from and how I should never forget the example set before me by my parents.

@@jayray2513 That's great, but the bank made much more money than you did on the deal, but that was the trade-off. It allowed you to buy into housing earlier in a rising asset value market. You were then able to leverage that new collateral into a larger property/home with another loan (probably smaller through, or maybe cash offer). You made money by being able to enter a rising market. There was no guarantee that home prices would continually rise, but over the long term this was likely the case. Low interest rates and the federal reserve have kept this particular asset bubble inflated by buying billions in mortgage-backed securities every month and treasuries, which helps to artificially keep borrowing rates low and accessible to most people, albeit dramatically increasing home values. We are now at the point with rising interest rates, the Fed tapering of MBS purchases, and general inflation without corresponding wage growth, that the average consumer can no longer afford to buy a home. What happens when demand dries up now that borrowers cannot qualify for mortgages? Home prices don't always go up; we're about to learn this lesson in spades. Now is the time we need your grandfather's sage advice more than ever. Get out of debt and more speculative assets than you need (home flippers). The times are a 'changing.

You can do without sattelite TV you Really dont Need that $5 to $10 Starbucks coffee, Turn your A.C. Up a few degrees and turn on a couple of fans.

Well Alan We are RV people from a while back (1984.) What got us into RVing was the ability to take our 5 kids camping and let them see the world, at least domestically. We realized that it was expensive but well worth the adventures with our kids and little dogs. However, now days it is not worth the cost of driving anywhere and paying the ridiculous campground fees and high price of fuel along with the inflated grocery prices. Furthermore, you may not want to hear this but politics is what got us here. It is either accept the huge prices related to RVing or stay home and get older and watch TV. One last bit of info is that it's getting a lot more dangerous out there but that's a topic for another conversation which includes politics too.

After taking everything I had, she abducted my 3yr old dog & my stroked out broken brained self to a small meth town 1.5hrs away. She then tried to kill me with my own car twice, nearly ran into semis (for entertainment), then tried to extort my family for more $ to give to her meth dealers.

He said, I had not thought of it that way before. I told him, I’m sure your a great young man. Let people see that side of you. You will do better in life. I pray he chooses different the next time. We need to speak up to these young people and correct them. If they don’t get it at home it’s our job to teach them as a community. Often times they listen and are thankful.

I do not understand how anyone can tolerate being deeply in debt, pretending to be wealthier than they really are and faking a lifestyle that is far beyond their means. I would not be able to sleep at night if I had all those massive debts and spent so much energy keeping up appearances. To me, half the fun of acquiring something is anticipating the purchase while saving up for it, then hunting for the best price and best quality and then paying for it in full at the time of purchase. My spouse and I own outright where we live, own outright both our vehicles and we pay off our monthly credit card statements in full every month. And yes, we own our RV outright too. We have chosen to live frugally, and we never pay anyone to do for us those tasks we are able to do for ourselves. We do our own landscape maintenance and wash our RV ourselves. Most of the clothes in our closets were bought from thrift shops or clearance racks. Most of our meals are cooked at home. Most of the furniture in our home was bought on clearance or given to us by relatives. And we take good care of what we have to make our possessions last for lots of use. We make our own coffee drinks at a fraction of what a Starbuck's drink would cost. On the occasions when we do eat at a restaurant, it is when we have a two-for-one coupon or when the portions are so large that we bring half the food home for a second meal. When we travel across country in our RV, we do a lot of dispersed camping or stay at lower cost campsites well away from the most popular and costly tourist areas. We can travel in our tow vehicle if we want to visit a popular attraction -- we do not need to camp close by on a campground with resort style amenities. Forget about Disney World and other money-sucking tourist traps, we prefer to watch a sunset in a desert landscape or go rockhounding or go hiking in the natural beauty spots well away from the tourist crowds. If there is another recession or financial depression, it will be sad seeing the financially unprepared suffer. And there will be opportunities for the thrifty folks, who have cash savings and little or no debt, to buy some real bargains.

How about college educated people with Doctorate degrees that became fully disabled at 50 had to sell house and spouse making enough money to get small mortgage for small house in crime neighborhood. Then he became disabled at 50 and we had to use his 401K to pay mortgage because you can’t even earn anything while waiting for decision. Well he was mentally disabled and the government made him try every mental drug not even indicated for his condition. So he had hard time finding Psychologist that accepted Medicaid so I’m sure info required for him to qualify was scanty. His Psychiatrist didn’t accept Medicaid but didn’t turn account into collections because he was determined to get it for him. Problems are also he has many other diseases that were treated by providers and Hospitals that didn’t accept Medicaid and he had many surgeries and ended up with $300,000 debt and providers with no financial assistance. He finally got it 4 months before we went into foreclosure. So he got back pay and we hired people through a small local Facebook to help fix up house and property and sold in 2019 and we are over 60 and have $40,000 left and renting for $2,600 cheapest and he got his disability benefits cut because an Equifax report claimed he made $50,000 in 2020 and still working. We can’t get case worker or lawyer, nobody will help because there is little profit for taking disability overpayment cases. So we are using our equity and can’t get food stamps, housing assistance and we can’t retire until 67. We will be homeless in a couple of years and I am bedridden. What to do? We have exhausted any resources and can’t afford to move to State with cheaper rent because there is no one else in the Country that can provide us with healthcare and prescription assistance we need unless move East Coast and live West Coast. Our diseases are rare and have no cure. I am completely bedridden and he can’t drive and a neighbor gets groceries but we have to pay for transportation for medical procedures. We have so much in collections. DISABILITY CARE IN THIS COUNTRY IS A JOKE. The benefits are less than the poverty level . We need to invest and have been trying to get help since I can use my fingers( lost motor control in hand) and worked for so long to regain, husband can’t type or make any sense when he talks except for some Spanish (from college) just started. I have contacted just about every financial advisor in my State and can’t get response taking no more clients. I am lost we have no living relatives except my sister who is housing her grown children and no more room. Long sad story about our family. He needs double kidney transplant because of rare autoimmune disease and needs dialysis or he will die. He got it in 2018. And they provide transportation. But who is going to donate a kidney to a 65 year old with multiple diseases. He will need to be on dialysis for life and needs occasional surgeries to remove the cysts. He also only has one lung because of Sarcoidosis. I also have Interstitial Cystitis when flares need to self cath. So I will have to be unclothed somewhere outdoors and live in a tent maybe a Community Center. We can’t get assistance unless we have $5,000 and that includes our furniture etc. AMERICA is BAD.

As a guy who used to work the oil fields, the BEST solution to high fuel is let the oil companies drill and get government out of the way. No clever government shell games... just let 'em drill without government intervention. Lower fuel costs translate to lower groceries among other things, rv prices, etc. And yes, more civility in our society.

Unfortunately we are headed into uncharted waters and it’s not good .

I don’t subscribe and I don’t know how you popped up and I’ve never seen any of your videos. However that very fact that a guy like you is coming out and talking about inflation and the hard times ahead is very proof that the general consciousness now is picking up on the incoming collapse of the economy. Thank you for putting this out and I’m trying to warn every day Americans to prepare.

As a 70 year old I know he speaks the truth. We are headed for some very dark years economically. It's going to be especially hard this time because we just came off dark years due to Covid. There is hope though, dark days don't last forever and we'll get through them just like we always have. Hunker down, get conservative with your spending and you should be ok.

I’ll tell you this much. I would rather live in an RV and living in a house or an apartment. Because when the market does burst and it crashes guess what happens everyone living in a home or an apartment or a condo they’re going to be evicted and everyone will be living out on the streets that’s why I would prefer to live out of an RV and consider it a home it’s called a roof over your head

Good rant. I worked 30+yrs for a fortune 50 company then the 6th largest bank in the US for 6 yrs. During my career I got an MBA. We do kick things down the road. After the 2008 mortgage crisis, some controls where put in place. in ~2017 many got rolled back. Our memory is short. Moderate inflation is OK, < 5%. More, not so much. The people most impacted will be ones with variable rate loans. My first house had a mortgage of 13% in 1983 and I was glad to get it. People how have variable rate mortgages will see max increases over the next couple of yrs and it will hurt. People who have

I agree with you brother! From 🇨🇦 working together we can accomplish more than against each other ! 👍

I knew a guy worth tens of millions of dollars, he sold his home for a few Million, purchased a RV back in the Early 90s and has been living and traveling around United States with his wife for decades. Herb hated taxes. Good talk my friend.

I live in a 86 MCI bus partially converted on a paid for lot with utilities in Mina Nevada as my Oregon classmates travel through to Arizona each year with the fully loaded rigs.. I scratch my head in amazement..

As more people are priced out of the market, they'll have to live somewhere. I don't see a loss in used RV's, just new.

Remember the "Boat People" in SE Asia from the mid '70s Vietnam mess? Our wonderful country has the "RV People". Basically the homeless who live in RVs with expired tags and are no longer mechanically operable. They do have a roof over their heads. These upper level hobos are higher up on the social strata than the "Tent People" who in turn, enjoy a better life than those condemned to living in a Homeless Shelter.

Thank You for this. When a family friend didn’t like someone she would say “ I must get to know them better”. She always tried to find the good in everyone.....,.even if it was buried deep
