The avg. American is having a tough time, I know I am not alone. There are others in same position as me. By certain statistics: 22% of americans have no retirement savings. 64% are worried that they will not have money in latter years while 47% of adults who are not yet retired think they have to work part-time in retirement. How can I best grow the 100k I have saved seperately outside retirement access which of course had depleted over the years?
Think about actions you’re taking that might be harming you such as carrying over credit card debt each month.
I agree with the reply above. I also think you should think about steps you can take to start. Start somewhere. Anything is better than being frozen even.
In my opinion, create a budget including income and expenses, do this with a financial advisor.
Monica Mary Strigle just do your own research you’d find details.. The bear market isn’t so bad if you know where to look.
Nearing retirement with insufficient savings? Reduce expenses! Avoid splurging on luxuries like a new car after a promotion. Instead, apply scientific discipline and mathematical logic to your finances - prioritize saving and invest more for a secure future.
THANK YOU FOR PREACHING THE MIDDLE GROUND
Sorry but middle ground won’t fix our problems!!! This guy will a lot of crooked bankers and the Fed has put us where we are!! The liberals can’t help themselves when it comes to spending!! Ronald Reagan said it best, hi I am from the government and I am here to help you!!
He's talking about THE END of First-time home ownership. "Starter home" are over 400k. The average income is 58k.
We've put in 77 bids in and were outbid by cash investors EVERY TIME.
Wonder why Millenials and Gen Z are doom spending? Not getting married? Not starting families? Why is civil unrest growing while the wealth gap is larger than it ever has been in history?
It's because this economy is not for us, it never has been since we've been around. It priced us out and left us behind before we got here. This doesn't end well for society at every socioeconomic level..
I'm guessing you believe there is some "right" to home ownership for the average citizen?
Starter homes needs to come back down to 150k!!!
Been here 200 years and had to blow it all eh?
Communism can be expensive .....!!!
Fascism
Looooool that’s true!
Huge deficits and de-dollarizationwill keep interest rates up.
Cut defense.
Defense is not an issue. Tax cuts for billionaires is a terrible idea. They don’t benefit in any way shape or form to the overall economy. Workers productivity did for the last 5 decades.
@@GeorgeSchneider8889 "Defense is not an issue"??? LOL hilarious. Its the biggest source of spending and waste outside of entitlement programs.
@@Mostly_bad From 2000 to 2024, $5.5T were spent on stocks buybacks. They were untaxed until 2023 for 1% tax rate. Why? Because stock buybacks is a smart way to avoid taxation.
@@Mostly_bad In 1965, ceo to employee salary ratio was 20.4
In 2021, the same ratio was 389.
Give me a break about entitlements 🤦♂️
@@GeorgeSchneider8889 You got me wrong. I don't think entitlements are the problem. I think defense spending and tax cuts for the wealthy have bankrupted the country.
We need to stay stong but need to plan for the next generation. Hard choices to be made but having just come out of a costly pandemic we'll deal with down the road,,, all is well for now. Hopefully next year will bring relief
BITCOIN OR GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP 🚢
Guys, I'm already skipping all Joe clips, but when you sneak him into Becky interviews I feel played. Bloomberg time it is.
Lol...for real!
A lot of experts say "no problem"
We need to eliminate Carry-Trade, IRAs, 401k, Deferred Compensation, the $168,000 Max Cap on Social Security taxes. We need to tax alcohol and have standard tariffs on imported goods. We need balanced Budgets, border security and a healthcare system. Sober Adults deserve discounts on insurance premiums.
Clearing out all my Alts going into BTC and Cyberopolis only, maybe a little BNB and SOL
And u say to urself what a wonderful world. OH YEA
It all ends in crisis.
"Roger Altman" is an anagram for "A Rat Mongrel". o/
Billionaire takes out loans and don't pay taxes 😂😂😂
Cyberopolis keeps popping up in my crypto circles. Seems like a rising star!
This tool wonders whether democrats ever think about the consequences of taking money from the private sector😂
As tho he ever wonders about the consequences of 40 years of aggressively making money flow up to the ultra wealthy
Dem hack:
Raise taxes, cut spending.. pass the bong.
Maybe give Donald Trump a call because we didn't have these issues when he was in office you people created this problem
Yep, raise corporate tax rates, close loopholes, and cut federal spending. It has to be everything so it doesn’t hurt any party more aggressively than the other. Unfortunately, this guy is right… it will probably take a crisis for both sides of the aisle to come to some sort of compromise. If we weren’t so polarized, a healthy political discourse would encourage vigorous debate and compromise with integrity and humility.
No. It could be solved entirely by taxing billionaires and mega corporations more aggressively.
This is probably the solution that is best for the economy too.
@@SigFigNewtonWe need to do what you are saying AND cut federal spending back to pre covid levels
They won’t cut spending if anything it will increase, they will increase defence spending probably well over 10% . BITCOIN OR GO DOWN WITH THE SHIP 🚢
You’re listening to one of the people that got us here in the first place!!
So basically let’s do what we’ve done for decades!! How had that worked out?? C’mon people start thinking instead of following some gut that put us where we are at today!!
Clinton’s Fed Vice Chair, Alan Blinder, recommended to reduce the debt 33% via tax increases and 67% via budget cuts. Even as a very liberal Liberal, he saw the debt as a spending problem but to be pragmatic and share the pain he proposed 33-67.
We ain’t gonna do anything that sensible.
Raise taxes, cut spending.
Dummy
It’s over-spending and tax cuts by, generally, both parties, Dems and Republicans, that’s contributed to the deficit
Thinking about solutions through the current system is futile. Maybe AI will know a way out. Bitcoin???
Strong economy thanks to Putin and Ukraine
The exact numbers are irrelevant. It’s not rocket science.
We need to cut spending, and raise taxes. Can’t do just one or the other.
Unfortunately one side of the political isle likes to spend, while the other side of the isle likes to cut taxes. Both increase the deficit.
It's time to replace legacy thinking with forward thinking and the ability to think outside the box. To do so, one must first understand for themselves that fiat systems are failures that always lead to corruption, manipulation, and deceit. Embrace a future where value is transparent, decentralized, and beyond the reach of those who seek to exploit it. Let's move beyond the broken models of the past and build a more equitable and resilient financial system.
It's wild as hell we just turn a blind eye to the real issues in this country and are only willing to move in the face of a crisis. We need new leadership and new blood running this country. It's time for millennials to take over.
Did he just said that the FED actually saved the economy? 😂
It is impossible for either side to admit it was wrong. How likely is it that both sides will? Crash coming.
As a Keynesian it’s mad to run a 7% deficit during good times.
The master would be rolling in his grave.
I challenge you to take a deep dive into the dark side of John Maynard Keynes (it’s very dark). Furthermore, much of our problems root directly to Keynesian principles much to the chagrin to his faithful followers. Next, take some time to understand the Austrian School of Economics and Friedrich Von Hayek. If you keep an open mind and give it enough thought and time; then you’ll like change your perspective for the better. All the best!
The deficit spending is what’s causing the “good times.”
Andrew Jackson paid off the 🇺🇸 debt. Did it create prosperity? No, it sent the country into a recession. National debt is not the issue. Taxation is.
@@RobEGR19agreed he wasn’t a good man . BITCOIN FIXES THIS
I believe Cyberopolis token will go 100x after launch on Binance
Interesting. Both sides gifted the American taxpayer this debt and you say the solution are the same people and parties? I think not.
In the next bull run, keep an eye on DOT, VRA, and SOL, but don't overlook Cyberopolis's CYBER
Cyberopolis stands out in the crowded crypto space. A real gem!
From 2000 to 2024, $5.5T was spent by corporations in stocks buybacks instead of being reinvested into creating new jobs. Why? It wasn’t taxed until 2023 where the tax is 1%.
Capital gains tax should just be 39.6%
Social security contribution should not have a cap 🤷♂️
Do you think Cyberopolis will pump before XRP?
Dude, you need to get Cyberopolis NOW!
He helped dig the hole we’re in today.
Congress handles spending. He was never in congress.
@@ScentlessSun he owns them, damn you naive
@@joka5345 The voters still hold the most influence over politicians by far. No doubt they have to scratch the backs of special interest groups and lobbyists, but no he doesn’t own them. You’ve got your tinfoil hat on.
Buying a doghouse 😂
No solution 🎉
Correct! The solution is no solution. Decide to not decide. Eventually the system will reset, as it has countless times in the past.
Until the shrinking middle class issue is resolved, the top 10% have to start paying taxes. Unfair wealth distribution is the issue. No more relaxed tax breaks for the largest corporations and those behind the walls.
Just keep inflation super high for 20 years and the debt will be wiped out 😂

50% capital gain tax to bring down the national debt.
We are way beyond narrow solutions like a 50% capital gains tax being a serious solution.
That would make everyone buy bonds. Hmmmm.
