How do you BEAT the hidden theft of MONEY PRINTING?
In today’s episode of Impact Theory, Codie Sanchez is here to discuss how we can escape the hidden theft of money printing so we’re not robbed of the value of our money and BUILD wealth instead of losing it to inflation!
Codie Sanchez is known for her contrarian investment strategies and dedication to empowering marginalized communities. She boasts a varied career that includes a decade spent on Wall Street and in private equity, where she managed substantial investments.
Codie advocates for critical thinking about money and wealth building through unconventional business buying strategies, an example being her work with Contrarian Capital, where she oversees a portfolio of "boring" businesses generating millions in revenue.
We touch on:
- Cultural shifts and the rise of business ownership
- Challenges and rewards of small business ownership
- Bankruptcy as a safety net
- Encouraging risk-taking while young
- Societal aversion to hard work
- (Lack of) Government efficiency and private sector incentives
- The problem with for-profit prison systems
- The value of learning from a diversity of sources
- The importance of all-weather investment strategies
- Developing strategies for recession-resistant businesses
- Potential investment opportunities during economic downturns
- The significance of trying new things to discover personal identity
- The difficulty of finding truth and the impact of narrative on decision-making
- The role of questioning and contrarian thinking in success
- Impact of inflation on money as an "invisible tax"
- The need for non-inflatable ways to save money
- Hard work and its relation to learning and purpose
Codie's wisdom on the value of inner peace and the joy found in difficulty, coupled with her candid reflections on life's hardest challenges, will leave you both enthralled and enlightened. So buckle up for a journey filled with contrarian ideas, personal philosophies, and actionable insights that just might change the way you look at the world.

Powerful Insights From Codie Sanchez:
"The federal government has turned into a transfer service…they used to provide services to all of us, to citizens. And now if you actually look at the amount of money and where they spend it, they spend most of their money transferring money from those who have made it to those who say that they need it."
"If you do not listen to channels that are doom and gloom about what might come, then when it comes, one, you won't recognize it, two, you won't act on it, and three, you will actually lose from it because somebody else will take advantage of your panic."
"People are…terrified of failing. And my point is, the US actually has an incredible system called bankruptcy, which a lot of countries don't have. This is an ability for you to wipe the slate if a business doesn't work out for you."
"What a tragedy to let your spark go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the shadows of the could be's, the what ifs, the maybes."
"And so in business, everything you're doing, every decision you make, is really just a determination of, should I do this or this, and which one of those is going to make me more money or more opportunity or more options or better decision making something."

I listen and learn a lot from you and your guests. Most of them are of the view that the government is the enemy. When are you going to invite someone who can give you the working man's point of view.
Weakening of state power and social protections, huge wealth inequality, and a power shift from our government to corporations is why there is so much turmoil in the USA

Student loan debt keeps people from taking risks. Nome Chomsky talks about this and manufacturing consent. Now his point of view is more about politics but he says basically that the rulers of the system saw the upheaval of the 60s and '70s and the student movements and said to themselves if we indebt them to the system then they won't try to change it. I think this translates to everything though. If you have a ton of student debt the likelihood of you quitting your job and starting a business is very low.
Baby boomers are retiring or on the verge to, so how do we deal with such recession-influenced market conditions? Typically my $320k worth of holdings go up 8% then lose 20% right after and the cycle continues, I’m confused and truly sick of the system
Knowledgeable Investors know where and how to put money during a crisis in order to reduce risk and maximize returns. See a market strategist with experience if you are unable to manage these market conditions
Brent Johnson, who I think is an or the authority on de-dollarization, already said that the dollar will be replaced eventually. The question really is when and more importantly by what? The Fed & US & other governments will do what they need to do to kick the can down the road. The challenges is how should one invest, & what one’s current situation is? I am very interested in what or where should an average Joe should do just so they can get by, & not really get rich.
The market is not necessarily a rollercoaster if you know your way around the market, there are various opportunities in the present market to accrue good profit, If you are not too savvy with the market, just buy and hold on strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on ETFs and actively managed funds.
Please can you leave the info of an advsor here? I’m in dire need for one
*Jennifer Leigh Hickman* has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
I’m sorry I can’t! I’ve graduated college, worked in several industries, started several businesses - failed at several; went to a couple different trade schools. Got married, raised kids, got divorced and remained.
And over the past 5 years I’ve come to terms with the reality I’ll probably never be rich.
So I found a fulfilling job with pay that suites my life style and made a concentrated effort to develop hobbies and strengthen my relationships with my family and friends.
The end result is that I finally, FINALLY! I Reached a place of content happiness. Only to be told by a couple income elites that if I’m not a self employed millionaire it’s because I’m lazy and don’t meet the “minimum intelligence” and thus I’m poor?
How about we acknowledge that the system is broken if the common citizen is failing.
100%! Not everyone wants to be the king rat in the rat race!
Whoa....well said!
You said it very well..

Everyone wants to be an entrepreneur but need to realize that maybe they aren't built to be an entrepreneur but rather an intrapreneur and both can become wealthy we just have to be able to identify which one we situate ourselves under
"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist." Love it
It's lovely to hear wealthy people saying we can all be rich with a little bit better hustle.
"Just get up at 6am and sell something everyday.."
So we all just need to sell things to people? When we're all hot, hustling sales people, who we going to sell stuff to?
Only a wealthy person would be blind to the fact that isn't a solution for the majority.
I'm surprised by the degree of privilege blindness here.
They know that not everybody's going to do it. Also, neither of them were wealthy to start with. But I understand your line of thinking. That's why I'm replying, but you're really not making logical sense. Of course they know that not every human being on the planet is going to start a business, buy a business etc. There's nothing wrong with them giving insights for those of us who want to take that route.
The thing wrong with their advise is that sometimes it boils down to "be the crab in the bucket who drowns the other crabs to escape". Some of us are a little too comfortable with that reality.
Just stop buying your daily lattes from Starbucks. I know that's a meme, but I'm serious. Say $8 for a Starbucks every day for one business week over a year. That comes up to $2080. Take that $2080 and put it in a Vanguard fund instead. Over 25 years, that $2080 will be worth over $20k.
Now keep this up for a 10 years and also apply this principle to all the other worthless junk you buy in a year. Frugal living is how millionaires are made.
It always surprises me how the self-made (new rich) are always the most dispassionate and ignorant about the lives and fears of the underclass.
I don't think anyone ever thought Jeff Bezos was hot
Poverty is trickling up!
Usually poor people like to buy unnecessary shit and have to keep an image up despite being broke af.
@@minfilipino It is not just poor people who buy unnecessary shit. Middle class and rich also do that. Unnecessary for you may not be unnecessary for someone else.

Very true 👍
Working through the night..does motherhood count? 😂 I would love to hear her advice for mothers. We’re experiencing the fact that households who need 2 incomes, yet society is not structured around children’s school schedules. Aftercare is difficult to find in my area, a big city. What can mothers do build their wealth in their 30’s? I feel like those of us who have a family are limited because we’re caught between doing what we feel is right for our kids, yet trying to financially do what is best.
This! Thank you!
Real shit
Thats a such a real dilemma. I’m not a mother so I’m not familiar with the limitations to this idea but from what I have seen from successful families with a stay at home Mom, creativity is so important and the opportunity to build a business from home. I have seen a Mom do a birthday party design/planning. Another example of creating children’s clothing out of their garage. Sorry if that’s not helpful I just figured I should share it with you.
This! ⬆️ I'm okay with working through the night, but when 1 of the 3 babies are waking up every 3 hours, I don't get much done.... then having a baby every 2 years, this lack of sleep has been happening for about 6 years....lol
Not complaining because I love my babies more than life and this is the route of life that I have chosen.
Although I am very work driven and working hard to run my business, yet juggling both, I'm treading and exhausted.
I keep telling myself if I can make it through the next year, the sleep may get easier and I can dig deeper and harder on work again. It's hard as a mom! And honestly, even myself, nobody knows how a mom has to work unless you've then turned into a mom.
We can still work hard and have grit, but we are working a 2nd job 24/7 as well.
Anyways, I agree with a lot that CS mentions and I love her.
Mom's, we can still do this. ❤
I don't think it counts because the question wasn't when you "had to" but did it because you wanted to. If you don't feed your kid, they die. You're not doing it as a hobby or passion, it's a need. You'd be doing it whether you enjoyed it or not, just like anyone else. That's not really monetizable business, it's just what all parents have done since the dawn of time. Now if you're so "in the zone" working on a concept or idea that 8+ hours go by and you're still working on it purely because you belive in it and are passionate about it, that's something you can turn into a business. That's a skill you can use on other projects which can lead to revenue. Many artists and business owners do this. The average person rarely, if ever, does it.
Tom, raising the retirement age is the not the only way to cut expenses. And SS is an expense that should never be cut.
Government salaries should be cut as they extremely over paid. I had a girlfriend who became a teacher and at the graduation ceremony, the parking lot looked like a Mercedes Benz dealership. Corruption and theft at its finest.
We all paid into social security...it is not an expense!
Cut social security. You Boomers don't deserve it.
SS is a Ponzi scheme. Look up Milton Friedman. Explains it perfectly. His book Free to Choose, is also great.
The government used up the original “deposits/thefts” and the young are paying for the elderly (and it’s transferring the young, working, lower class money to the upper class elderly)… his example: a man graduates or drops out of high school goes immediately to work and makes middle to low wages and pays into SS from age 16/18 meanwhile the liberal, upper class woman is sent to college by her family doesn’t work until mid to late twenties 22/28 (so doesn’t pay in until then) and because of degree (assuming not a useless one and not counting she may or may not have any extraneous loans bailed out) makes more and would live longer while the lower class usually have a harder time living longer so the young dropout doesn’t even get to use his “pay-in/theft” while the liberal woman will be using his.
What would be moral would be to keep more of what one makes rather than having it stolen as taxes and spend/save it however an individual (rather than a faceless collective/AOC/Pelosi) decides. Freedom and choice. Moral.
SS is an unethical system exemplifying the moral decay of a culture.
Social security is simply a ponzi scheme, that will be inflated away with everything else.
The government doesn't just transfer money from the rich to the poor, it also transfers money from working class to the rich in paying interest.
it actually never transfers from rich to poor, it does transfer from lower middle class to the dirt poor, though. Rich don't "actually" pay taxes.
Absolutely! That national debt is only about 20% owed to other countries. Most of the debt counter parties are to US citizens who are the 1% who buy bonds.
Right I remember Reagan saying the trickle down will come to everyone! What a lie!
Ok that's untrue. I am regarded as rich by most metrics and I pay more in taxes than 98% of the populace. Also, monetary policy is designed to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich when increases in the money supply fail to increase the velocity of money (activity in the real economy) and thus result in asset inflation enjoyed by the rich. @@JustAnotherJarhead
They also transfer money from America to foreign nations.
just because harvard did the study, doesnt mean its legit as we have all seen
Totally with you on that.
Facts
All pleasurized!
Exactly! They can do the same study 50 times until they finally get the result they want and that last one will be the one you read about.
I never comment on RUclips but i think i've never heard 2 People more full of themselves as these two. Greetings from argentina, come here sometime to see if anyone can get by just working hard when everything is crashing down. Sorry for my bad english , its not my first language. Anyway ... i think i made as much sense as you two. Wich is almost none.
Your country is broke...no thanks
Crybaby 🎉🎉🎉
@@nohandletobehadhe's wrong in his assessment but you are beyond wrong in calling someone a crybaby when you yourself would not survive a fraction of what they do in conditions bound by outside forces and not of organic consequences.
They never said it's just by working hard. They said that working hard is an important aspect of being successful. I've been to Argentina and there's many things I like about the country but the mentality is definitely not one of them. People live extremely mediocre lives with confrontational attitudes which is very unnecessary. People in Argentina are just as ignorant and closed minded as people in America but in different ways.
Wtf are any of you talking about 😂
I love to hear what Codie Sanchez has to say. I learn a lot from her, even if I disagree with her. Sometimes I'm right, but when I'm not, I learn something.
Yeah, raise retirement age to 100. That'll motivate the serfs!
Lol
If it is a series of fulfilling jobs without toxic people along the way , it's OK to work till 100 years of age. But the reality of working life is just too much grind and pain.
I was surprised that both of them thought gold was $1000 per ounce.
🤣🤣🤣
Wtf 😂
Makes you think about all the other things they say and believe doesn't it?
Also weird that he thought gold was $35 in the 1980’s when it was probably about 10x that
Great interview from both, Codie is sensational speaker and story teller. Sound advise for the future. Thank you
A couple of people just chasing more and more money. Why? To what end? How much money do you need? Enough to pass down to who? Your kids and grandkids? So they can squander it away? Unless it's like the movie 2012 and you're in some exclusive club that gets you a VIP ticket to a life raft, I don't understand the goal. Becoming super rich doesn't impress anyone but you. 100 years from now, we'll all be a complete nothing.
That is very wise ......and utterly "Un-American"
Stay broke my friend!!
I hike and do extreme expeditions sailing. I don’t poop in a bag. It’s biodegradable. Use a leaf or snow for TP and all is good. I have a love hate relationship with Ted Turner.( Jane Fonda probably)
They are blinded by their wealth and hide behind it. This needs to change.
Ever had medical bills you have to pay out of pocket? If you get really sick you will kick yourself for not having enough
Hard work is so overrated. I go through life trying to get the most benefit with the least effort, and it is worked out just fine. I was a truck driver and I retired at 33. I'm now 51
Smart man
My parents and I have worked hard our whole lives and paid into SSI. Corporations and inflation have destroyed our pensions . We have earned it!!!!
Not inflation...GREED based on the warped capitalist society America has created with no safety nets to protect its citizens. Americans continue to shoot themselves in the foot.
The government creates inflation to fund welfare and warfare. They take your money, by inflation and give it to others. It's wealth redistribution, Comrade.
What, you thought they weren't going to redistribute *your* wealth as well?
No one deserves anything, place was built on slave labor. After that it was pushed even further by cheap Mexican slave labor, meanwhile all the people in position, aka Americans that weren't braindead reaped the benefit, and now want to live the rest of their life rich, having done nothing.
You do deserve it, and so do we all. But if you've spent the last 20+ years voting for either one the two big parties, you were an irresponsible fool to think that their incessant hand-outs and expensive wars were not going to come from money printing (inflation) and the well known theft from our Soc security funds. The only party preaching fiscal discipline is the libertarian party.
No one gets to tell me what success looks like, I have to define that for myself, if I don't do that I'll achieve 'success' and be miserable. I'm not a good leader, I've no desire to be a leader. I am a good manager and I am much happier and skilled at finding a leader I believe in and managing the niff for them. We both win. Of course I need to have a clear understand my values to ensure I am working for or with someone I believe in.
Wasn't going to bother with this as I find all these doom recession podcasts clickbaity, but this isn't what the podcast about at all. It's actually the best podcast episode I've listened to in a while, both participants in top form for this. Felt I learnt a ton, and even a couple paradigm shifting moments. Great stuff!
I worked as a carpenter for 10 years then opened my company about 13 years ago. You do much better on your own after about 5 years of building up your business. I opened a gym 4 years ago and just closed it because the construction is much more profitable and worth my time. I guess my point is investing in yourself and learning then once you understand business you can succeed in anything if you understand the market.
❤
Might be your experience but not covering all bases.
I transferred” my money as I paid into Social Security and am entitled to get it back. Period.
Yeah. Well. Good luck.
I see two rich people talking about not taxing the rich haha 👏🏽
You didn't see them talking about how "taxing the rich" is not the solution? Because that part was clear. And it isn't the solution. Unless you don't believe in math.
Make the rich pay the taxes they ALREADY owe but dodge. Don’t tax them more, just enforce it so that companies don’t come out NOT paying taxes.
@@JamesDecker7 that's all good. But it's still the people thinking that the problem is the rich not being taxed enough that are the problem... and retarded. Like yeah, that's totally the problem.. it's not MASSSSSSIVE wasteful govt spending and printing Trillions of $ out of thin air.
As has been documented ad nausea, you could take every Cent from ALL the rich people and it would hardly even scratch the surface of the problem, and do nothing to take care of it.
The problem with the "TaX tHe RiCh!" freaks, is they're too ignorant to realize that if you wanted to fix the debt, solve the issues going on, etc etc, that taxing the rich more, or even enforcing it more, isn't even that high on the list of effective options.
People that argue we need more taxes on ANYONE are totally and absolutely 'regarded'. Especially lefties. It's like self flagellation. But lefties love to be cucked, financially and otherwise.
You wanna get rich or not? Learn
Don’t we pay into social security? We should get what we paid in when we retire.
No they just make it ridiculously hard for those who have earned it to live on it and cap extra earnings so they can give it to who they want!!
Robert Reich says there is plenty of money. Corporate Socialism,fake inflation prices. Covid was a smash grab! Robber Barrons destroy every country, eventually & so it goes,over& over😴
SS is grocery money at retirement at this point. And I mean bread and milk, thats it.
I love watching your channel, you do not stop asking questions smart people ❤, thanks.
look up The Diary of a CEO for the best interview questions, hands down.
Coming out of facing alot, I knew two things about the stock market: It caused the Great Depression, and the fastest way to make a million on the markets was to start with two million. And then the Great Recession happened only a few years later. So yeah, I wish someone had better explained it to me earlier in life. Having a good entry and exit strategy will make you succeed in the stock market.
Social security is NOT transference. We paid for that. Remove that from your graph and then we can talk. I used to teach graduate biostatistics. I know when someone is trying to hide information. At least define what is included in each of the four categories.
SS is a ponzi scheme.
It's arguable whether the amount payed in is worth what gets payed out when factoring changing rates of inflation. Future generations are paying for it too and it's unlikely to survive the size of the boomer generation. So imagine paying for something you know you're never going to get...simply because of demographics. Our population is shrinking...not growing.
It's supposed to be a net...as in addition to other retirement income streams...not the sole source of retirement income.
@@micmccond7 Yes, I’m well aware. I’m one of those who won’t be getting much from SS. I paid into the system from age 16 - 45 but many of those years were lower income so didn’t qualify as counting towards the 30 year minimum. Good thing I wasn’t relying on that and have my own side businesses now because it would have not been there for me, very scary. Fortunately eleven years ago, at 45, I switched over to a job with better retirement so that pension will be there in addition to my 2 businesses. Regardless, my initial comment remains true about her graph.
@@hfortenberrywhat job did you switch to? Teaching? I’m considering a similar change.
@@Zannathin I moved into Information Technology (my other passion) working for a county that uses the same pension as our teachers.

MOST IMPORTANT COMMENT HERE. The OVERSPENDING AND DEBT AND INTEREST PAYMENTS WILL BE THE BEHAVIOR FOUND TO HAVE DONE MORE HARM THAN ANY OTHER.
It hurts to know that one should pay taxes but have no influence on policymaking unless one is among the top 1% and their lackey politicians.
No one is ever completely self-made, I am sure the two of you didn't grow up in the slums of Africa. Your background and connections make a big difference in what you have achieved in your lives.

@@BBshark000incorrect. Everything is not IQ driven. If it were the world would be a well oiled machine and it isn't.
Love the interview! Codie Sanchez is amazing! I really appreciate her clear, no-nonsense business advice and her impressive way of thinking. She's so genuine and straightforward. Truly inspiring!
they got rid of a lot of the profit sharing in the 80s and 90s and that’s one of the reasons why we are in a non-motivational situation at this point in time
Yes Marketing and accounts took over. HR used to have a bigger voice. They diversified, re-engineered and fucked their employees. Outsourced , created contracts and then sacked with a day's notice. Here in Aussie they created "workplace agreements", dispersing all the progress Unions had fought for previously on behalf of those who laboured. Shareholders became the new kids on the block, distorting the true value of products , manipulated by the bigger traders. So this notion of a "free market" regulated by supply and demand is an ancient and deeply corrupted mythology. The system is collapsing. Blaming the social safety net so pathetic in the USA seems to be an articulate version of scapegoating. "Look in the mirror might be a more honest strategy. Many of these economic theories that are considered "truth" were developed by colonisers, slave traders and corporate raiders, or isolated intellectuals living within a virtual reality. There are nuances of course. Subtleties but that would require a dissertation. I have traversed many "stratospheres" of society economically in various cultures, most significantly Australia, USA, Holland and England. Hard not to "smell a rat" when the division between the wealthy and those who survive on minimal working class wages or heaven forbid (sarcasm here) social security widens exponentially. I simply laugh at the first world dilemma of having money to invest. A huge proportion of people in our world are struggling to get food. Lets have some guests on the show who are representing "the Common people". Let's hear more about co-operative economies as other revolutionary ideas.
strange to hear rich people talk...bottom is so low. middle income has been decimated. their is no safety for those at bottom. as no one can keep up as it is. system is rigged.
Do you get the point? They are not rich because they have the air in their name. But because they found a way to use their mind! There is no money measurement in tha. Start thinking differently, money follows that.
yeah, they briefly mentioned how money printing, quantitative easing & CPI is rigged; it's rigged to transfer money away from the employed, you're getting paid less and less as the years go on, it's hitting a breaking point, for sure, when most of us cannot afford to be housed with just our single family
Try imitating successful people instead of slandering them. You'll have a much better life.
@@johndoe1.196 i did not slander them. nor did i say Tom or his guest are rigging the system or part of it. they are rich. fact. they work hard to earn that level of wealth. fact. but those at bottom of the food chain have infinitely harder time getting into a better position. also i watched the video listen to all issues they raised. based of that i made assertion. which is accurate imo that middle class will be destroyed. those at bottom no why to hedge themselves from coming financial waves. u cant compare their financial level to most people. fact their is very little for common man to do to protect themselves in this market.
@@businessvideocoach4363 strange to see people get offended on behalf of people they have never met. i know they made their wealth themselves. its still a exception its not the the rule. most people current financial state debts etc. makes it impossible for themselves to hedge or protect themselves. ergo why i vented, middle class is being ruined and those at bottom have very little options. the game is rigged; Tom and his guest actually explained so many of the factors showing how wrong it all is runs. i never slandered them. gave mi opinion. what is ur point > ?
I'm taken aback that Tom didn't address critical issues. The wealthy wield disproportionate power and manage to pay fewer taxes, while many are trapped in low-wage jobs, with diminishing opportunities. The decline of local businesses, which bolster local economies through better wages and taxes, is alarming. Without substantial investment in infrastructure and education, we're on a path to deterioration, stifling innovation and quality employment. Ignoring this leads to a cycle of poverty, crime, and more crime. If we look to where the money for these things are.... $42 trillion of new wealth was created globally, of which the richest 1% captured $26 trillion, or 63%, while the remaining $16 trillion, or 37%, was distributed among the rest of the world. The argument that taxing the rich discourages wealth aspiration is simplistic and overlooks the worsening conditions for many. This discussion seemed disconnected from these pressing realities.
Actually if ur poor u have a better shot than even middle class with free college education. Just don’t squander it with a useless degree get into stem plain and simple.
And yes it would discourage entirely. Cuba is a great example. Doctors would rather leave the country and what do u know Cuba is still a shit hole.
So glad someone else picked up on this! And of course she doesn’t want to tax the wealthy, because that’s her and her buddies. Someone that is just fighting to survive pays more taxes than she does. How is that not stupid; using her word. She has a bad case of entitlement and can view the world from a different perspective than most.
So if you don’t have the wealthy paying their share of taxes, how is that helping the economy? Trickle down economics? That’s already been proven to be utter nonsense. Corporate profits is and remains with corporate greed.
I had respect for her until this interview. That’s going to come to an end today. Basically she’s saying people “individuals” shouldn’t get a chance because they have already proven to be useless to society and do not warrant the investment. But yet we (tax payers) bail out huge corporations using our money without our consent all the time. And that’s because they have mismanaged their money so using her logic…that should not be ok either but she doesn’t bring that up.
Get a career you can do online.
Really like Codie....very articulate and confident person.
Man I was really hopeful with this one... then she had to go and put ALL the blame on the government helping citizens while promoting that they need to spend more money instead on the war machine 🤦🏽♂️... I get we could do better on how the government spends. But being pro war above helping its citizens, is a problem.
Well there is a world War coming
Something they could be done is to ban stock buy backs. If company’s weren’t buying back their own stock, which BTW elevates the stock price and allows the CEO’s etc to exercise their options and make scads of money, the company could use that capital to expand their business, improve their business thereby making more money, hiring more people and generally being more productive. That would big a HUGE deal.
That would mean that you would have to ban dilution of stocks as well. Which means they couldn't raise capital... which defeats the whole point of the stock market.
@@SmartestDumbGuyNo one likes their shares diluted. Like that ‘Social Network’ movie.
What you have to realize is instead of worrying about the big companies buying shares at a lower rate, focus on buying at that lower rate yourself.
People complain about what others do to make more money instead of focusing on what they can do to do the same.
Opportunity is available to us all! Most people just rather complain than take advantage themselves. 🤦🏻♂️
If company A says we are buying stocks back. Buy company A and the value should increase.......
Yep, but companies dont need to hire human beings any more. And they never will again unless politicians create policies to incentivize companies to hire human beings. In other words, we're fucked.
Best conference ever. This is the ultimate way to see life.
I think it's an excellent point she makes about not identifying with an idea/ideology/opinion. If we can avoid that it can allow for better debate and progress
And... for my entire life, the government has not established a living wage standard to end the need for welfare, subsidized housing, Medicaid, food stamps, and a handful of other subsidies.
All of that is because the businesses won't pay workers their worth unless they are forced to. $ 7.25 /hour minimum wage? Come on... it's corporate welfare to pad their bottom line at the expense of taxpayers.
How about an episode on how we can construct society to work for everyone.
Not everyone in a society can be rich because.... Inflation
Maybe businesses should put employees first over shareholders for example.
Working yourself to death is not a good answer
Straight up doesn’t work. All luck.
You (and your fellow effort, pain and risk-avoidant collectivist comrades) are guaranteed to be a failure. You want other humans to sacrifice their efforts/income for your benefit. You are preaching parasitism.
i'd guess the only way that works is in a post scarcity economy. Communism and socialism is an abject failure. Sadly, capitalism is the best thing we have for now

#CodieSanchez was one of your top 3 interviews of which I has listened to so far on your podcast #TomBilyeu. Thank you Tom and Codie.
Money is a metric but not everyone's metric. You generate your own metrics of your life, but you never get to make a metric for another. That's the beauty behind Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. IMHO
up to 13 mins focusing on government spending into social security, there's also a wealth transfer into inefficient companies, banks etc
You are watching two wealthy people have a discussion. What else did you expect? Everything that takes money out of their pocket is deemed inefficient. They just blindly assume all wealthy people are doing efficient things with the money and therefore "redistributing" anything away from those wealthy people is bad.
@@henrythegreatamerican8136 I mean, I like a lot of what they're talking about. CPI is kind of rigged, inflation is a wealth transfer away from workers, quantitative easing is also a wealth transfer, the main path out of it is to start a business, or something. But, to hyper fixate on THE POORS SUCK for as long as they did, felt pretty disingenuous
INFLATION NEVER CAME DOWN. You have to measure in a cumulative manner we have been lied to in that regard
Right.
Exactly.
I think they changed the way they measure inflation. Now its based on CPI, or consumer price index, rather than good old-fashion inflation.
She literally talks about that. Listen to the episode
Inflation is to prices what acceleration is to speed. Both prices and speed will never come down if inflation/acceleration is not negative (ie deflation)
I love Codie Sanchez! She's very smart, business savy and put together well for a world that's hard and a woman that doesn't give a damn about that. She's independent and has great work ethics.
Love listening to both of you. Inspiring, exciting and appliable.
Tom, this podcast has motivated me to do something extraordinary in life. Thank you.
Like what? Tell us all.
History shows that financial markets follow repetitive patterns. In his book "Grand Time", Artur Grandi offers a clear-cut strategy for stabilizing investments and identifies opportunities for investment, including in cryptocurrencies.
This is exactly why MSM is so vapid. Here are two individuals who have figured out how to be successful and can articulate their lessons learned well. Those listening to this have been given a great deal of Insight to improve the direction they can go next. Listening to these two has been time well spent.
Codie’s right and wrong about somethings just like every other human it’s the I know best delivery that can be challenging to listen to at times.
Well said
You already nailed it.
They have no desire to drop spending, because most voters are - frankly - idiots.
They will vote for whomever promises the most, so, we're just headed for an inevitable disaster.
❤
Yes they vote in whoever will give them free money
Please point me in the direction of this mythical free money that anyone can have
Over half of our national debt is directly attributable to tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and to fund unnecessary wars (The ME wars cost $ 10 Trillion alone). On top of that, we spend more on defense than THE NEXT TEN NATIONS COMBINED. Meanwhile defense contractors make greater profits than almost any sector and all paid for by taxpayers.
The problem is not who you vote for. The problem is that we live in an oligarchy / plutocracy.
People don't feel they spend more. People KNOW they spend more.
Yes, they just don't fully understand why. If they did, there would be riots in the streets.
What an amazing conversation ! Makes me optimistic for our future listening to this.Que Profundo !We now have our best people working night and day on these issues.

“Businesses don’t wheel back their prices” … yes, and employees do not take pay cuts and electric companies don’t cut their prices and governments don’t reduce taxes and… almost nothing goes down.
Businesses can and do cut back their prices if they can. A service based company can reduce their prices by accepting less. A product based company or service may need to substitute for a different component. I’m just saying that it is possible and done.
Problem is not that state is providing a lot of free money and wellfare to the people though in the USA. Its just that ur system is ineffective:
An array of usage and billing requirements from multiple payers makes it necessary to hire costly administrative help for billing and reimbursements.
Americans pay almost four times as much for pharmaceutical drugs as citizens of other developed countries.
Hospitals, doctors, and nurses all charge more in the U.S. than in other countries, with hospital costs increasing much faster than professional salaries.
Prices for drugs and healthcare are partially controlled by governments in other countries, but in the U.S. prices depend on market forces.
@39:44 truths that 1 extra hour puts you ahead. Being in software engr school at age 40 I saw smarter younger ppl give up earlier and yeah I got better grades and better jobs
Wooow @ Tom am happy about the daily updates and awareness you give together with your team thanks Big!!
Sorry to disagree with CS' premise, but some cold facts... We had real income growth for working class Americans until Reagan pushed trickle down economics, halved the tax rates on the highest income brackets and enabled them to start hoarding wealth... which has only caused a massive wealth gap. The rich don't spend the majority of that windfall... they invest it and increase the wealth gap further. Hence 40 years of no "real income" growth for 90% of Americans.
They also leverage their wealth to suppress the income of others and diminish job opportunities. Meanwhile, They subject us to exhaustive 6-step job interviews while we're left fighting amongst ourselves just to earn a living wage.
Remember years ago when we made almost everything we need in America? I do! These two have good points about our tax burdens. I am a blue collar worker 53 years old. I describe my situation as mostly “ treading water” I started listening to these two a year ago. It gives me hope that if I make smart decisions, I may be able to retire some day! Taxing middle class heavily needs to end! Our class is the work horse of America. Our class is the most productive group in America! We have earned a fair deal not repression!
I offer one correction to your narrative.
America was losing manufacturing base before Reagan.
The trend in declining MC household income and wealth is highly correlated with the beginning of the oil standard. That is because oil is undervalued. The ability to decouple the true cost of oil and its derivatives from ecological and societal factors and damage allows finance and industry to exploit the energy supply against us.
Reagan's trickle-down policies never trickled down because there were no mechanisms in place to make it happen in an economic environment, lacking labor pressure.
There is now labor pressure, but it is also driving inflation along with retiring boomers and other factors. We're in for a bumpy ride, but at least we're reshoring industry bigtime now. Peace
The rich paying warehouse workers $13-$17 hr says it all.
Blaming Reagan for a macro trend that was very much already well established is just more tribal bias. I hear a lot populist rhetoric on many of these other sites as if there is some sort of command and control economy that can fix everything . Like from what and who( no pun intended)like from Clause S or Bill Gates and the WEF. It is all magical thinking. Uphold the US Constitution, keep government small and limited and stop whining because the world is imperfect and someone made more money than you.
watching this as a european (german to be specific) makes my head shaking all the time... I find this (american) view from the rich close to absurd. The whealth gap is nowhere bigger then in the USA and the rich people pay a lot for protection (gated community), trickle-down theory is non-sense and the lowering of taxes in the last 20(?) years has not lead to the (projected) goal, yet you argue that higher taxes make no sense... crazy to understand for (probably) most europeans...
I have a lot of friends that are taking retired young because they are taking advantage of the system.
Just had a buddy yesterday tell me that he knows he is being lazy... but he can't stop because the free help is there.
The rich pay 90% of the tax.
I used to make 2 million a year. I got tired of paying so much in tax so now I shrank my company and fired everybody and retired at 30. That's what the tax code does... it dis-incentivizes the job creators. You want to raise taxes more? We will just quit and relax... then what will you do for work?
higher taxes don't actually solve anything. We just spend too much here on Gov't, but I looked at Deutschland as well, you guys spend too much on Gov't as well.
@@JustAnotherJarhead that is very true unfortunatly... my general view is: regardless how fair/just any economical system may be, if the result is, that there is a (too) big in-equality in life, that cannot be a sustainalbe system. You can't live as a single billionaire surrounded by only poor people...
The problem is what our taxes go to. Why should anyone desire to put more money into a system which doesn't achieve the desired outcome? If our tax money isn't going to the projects we desire, if our streets are unfixed, infrastructure collapsing, etc. Even with all of the money, the MASSIVE spending rate that we already do have, how would giving MORE money into that broken system fix anything? The issue is not the rate of taxation, it's the allocation of those resources. Our money is being used in programs the majority would never approve of if we had a direct democracy system and could vote to allocate exactly where our tax dollars go.
@@devon.dulaney I couldn't agree more with you! What you write, is unfortunatly true in most countries around the world...
Dont know yet but it seems like im getting ready to spend three hours hearing 98% of things I already know to be true. Not done yet tho...
Agreed, but it's nice to get confirmation in this current era of make-believe and ignorance.
It helps to have in the background while preparing my taxes
Oh yes, there is great value in all of Tom's guests. I enjoy listening and asking myself these questions. Quite humbling some days...
Please keep these meetings coming! U guys are so great to hear! Thank you!
This conversation is priceless! Thank you so much and please keep up the great work!
The real hard truth about money. There are no safe havens.
Oh there are safe havens. They're called British offshore jurisdictions. But you need the connections within the City in order be part of that game.
That's where they keep all of theirs, or rather, all of the global productivity gains from the past several decades that they could have reinvested to make everyone's lives better but instead decided to intentionally keep us down.
If there are no save havens where the super rich hiding their wealth under their mattress?
Not true. Study #Bitcoin 🍊
@@shrunkensimonsome nefarious stuff if true
Physical gold is a safe heaven now.
If it were anything other than a cost cutting, investor driven measure, having the staff clean the office and bathrooms is almost petty and unappreciative of why they are there, making you money or points. Oh, I'm pretty sure it was their decision, in a death meeting. I'm just shaking my head.
Working the extra hour and being that person that goes the extra distance matters none nowadays. I have done this my entire life and worked myself to the bone and have gotten nowhere. Its pointless to work hard and its all about who you know. For anyone young out there, don't work hard and just network. Working hard doesn't matter unless you know the right people. Knowing the right people is way more important then working hard. Now I gotta find the right people to be around that can harness my hard work because the people i been around in corporate America just abused me and and over worked me to the point of exhaustion. When I bring it up they just threaten you. Work life is super dumb and I its hard to listen to rich people talk about working lol. These two worked hella hard, I get that but most the time its luck as there are a ton of people just like these two and myself in this awesome world. The only difference in "success" or bag size is luck and not working hard.
She says that we just lost 150% buying power and then says that houses dropped 30% so people should be buying. Ha, cuz normies can afford this. I really cant wait for the economy to absolutely nuke. There are so many people that need to get wrecked to have a wake up call. I hope it gets so bad that people start to hate the government and rich peoples mind sets change. This podcast is depressing.
I agree. These people are so detached…
Thank you for sharing this as I have come to the same conclusion. As an introvert type I am not able to get over it and learned this lesson too late. This episode got me in a bad mood.
100%, I've seen so many fake, stupid people get ahead in this world while being an honest hard working person just gets you screwed over if you are an introvert and not willing to screw over others. I like the guest she has a lot of good ideas if a little bit devoid of details which suggests she got ahead through religious connections. The host is a faux-intellectual that probably never did an honest day's work in his life like construction or farming etc. If the lights go out these folks will have a hard fall.
You are the dystopian people that they refer to on this content. You have envy as your worst enemy. YOU are your worst problem. Sorry, not sorry.
@@buddyrye9190 for a second there I thought you were going to say something enlightening by your use of such a word. I am disappointed and had high expectations.
Tom, the thing you're missing is that dollar denominated debt is also affected by monetary debasement. As the dollar inflates and is debased toward 0, the actual USD denominated debts become irrelevant. Bitcoin isn't just a life raft, it has the potential to actually unwind the current debt crisis due to its appreciation in purchasing power.
51:00 My son is graduating from HS in a month. He always had to work for his pocket money. Fed up receiving an hourly wage, he started a car detailing hustle and just added window cleaning. He’s doing really great and is extremely proud of the money he earns. I actually mentioned to him Cody’s advice to start a “dirty” business because most people with money don’t want to clean themselves.
This conversation is needed but I disagree with the outlook that retail investors can’t make money relatively easily. The equities market will rise when interest rates are low. The dollar will rise when the rates are high 🤷🏿♂️

The purpose of taxing the rich isn't to finance government expenditures or wealth redistribution. Taxing the rich is a strategy to prevent the corrosive accretion of extreme wealth in the hands of a tiny subset of the population. Since functional democracy is incompatible with extreme wealth inequality, imposing high taxation on the rich could safeguard democracy from the corrosive influence of wealth and the drift towards plutocracy.
Cody is so smart. We need to tell our government to buckle down. That should come first
I think that people forget that most of those drawing social security and Medicare have paid into these systems their entire working life. As a senior, I don't think that I'm getting a Social Security check because I need it. This is something that I paid for. Further, my Medicare premiums are higher than what many non-retired people are paying.
When I was a kid I was called dumbo because of my ears too. One time when my friend had called me dumbo and i responded at least I can fly. He then responded saying if you don't quit pissing me off I'm going cut one of your ears off so you'll only fly in circles.... I had no response to that.... anyways great video, very insightful! I love listening to these pods.
Lmao. I think I learned something from your story.
Cody made a basic mistake and describing inflation: she said that “inflation is down”… Yet grocery prices are up. That is incorrect. The rate of inflation is down, but we still have positive inflation. Furthermore, The CPI index calculation is not capturing what is actually happening to the average price of goods being purchased by the average US consumer. Case point is rent which is a lot higher.
Yeah, she said several things wrong. She’s pretty good at twisting things to make it sound like what she wants you to think.
Yep I just commented on her rookie mistake also regarding inflation. Monetary inflation vs CPI vs rate of inflation.
Makes you wonder…
She actually said "depending how you measure it" and went on the explain the differences and the consumer price variation from the official inflation measurement. So, no, you're incorrect.
One of the problems is corporate greed. As CS said...businesses raise prices but never pass cost savings back to the consumer. Many try to hide their price increases as shrinkflation. I don't see any major corporations profits decreasing... we are paying for it.
Excellent content Tom! When was this video shot if you don’t mind me asking?
Just want to gauge the relevancy to the current market conditions.
Thank you Sir 🙏
I love Dumbo's podcast. One of the best
These ideas are unbelievable... wow i dont believe how blind self made wealthy people can be...😂🎉 America is becoming a Nigeria quickly
Omg ur so right! I said the same thing!
Tom, the US government raised the retirement age. Recently, I was born in 1963 and I was going to retire at age 65, now they've changed it to age 67 if I want to get 100% of my Social Security payment. So your theory is wrong that because it did not work in France, it can't be done here. They already did it here and the propaganda Legacy media covered up the story.
Elections have consequences
You should be able to retire at 55 . 67 is ridiculous
The solution is not to tax the very rich but to make sure that the rich do not use loopholes to avoid taxes. That will not solve the government's deficit spending problem completely. But it is fair that everyone carries its own weight.

Stay in school Shane, it's the only way to climb out of the bucket, do not quit until you have a graduate degree, and you will be fine. Btw, look for work with Uncle Sam, not private industry with that degree, you will thank me in 25 years.
Sorry kiddo. It stinks
definitely don’t stay in school lol. then you will just be in debt and jobless. just go be a plumber.
Define work your ass off cuz im 30 and people my age and younger thinks 40 hours a week is a lot
I feel you and it's bad you need to dump in the trash what you're doing now... it's not working btw almost the same story but a bit different I am stuck in one place no progress at all fuckin wage slavery always one salary away from bankruptcy. This video is like we talked for 3 hours saying almost nothing. Work hard this still makes me laugh and what actually happens when you work hard close to nothing maybe some kind of promotion well this stays in the "Maybe" category your manager will walk on his head literally he's dying when a thought that he can be replaced come in his mind. So the hard-working crap, not exactly true maybe it is if you own what you work. For example, when I work hard my manager is sprinting to his boss or manager or whatever is called to take the credit. Would like to see more opinions. In the end, I had an impression this chick doesn't have a clue what she's talking about lol my guess is the husband Seal is taking care of everything and she's just running her mouth
Did anyone catch her taunting people who are poor. Like being rich financially is the goal of life. Lol
