    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?

      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.

    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..

    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.

    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.
