I know Galloway well and I'm pretty sure he was miserable throughout this interview lol. He was betting on Jon being there and didn't get the slot is my guess. Not to say I don't love Ronny.
You should see his TED TALK. It's funny and insanely smart. He shows an image of who he means by 'The Golden Girls and Walking Dead" ... just about fell off my chair laughing.
That was a interesting interview! Non-wealthy Boomer here! I lived paycheck to paycheck most of my life working 2-3 jobs. I ended up working for a large very profitable infrastructure company for 13 years (accounts payable admin) starting at $17 an hour. Only just a few years ago was I able to save for retirement. Each year I got a 3% cost of living increase which I was thankful for. In January I got fired because I made to much money! Corporations only care about profits!
My friend just got fired after 36 years with a company - he was IT manager, the entire team was fired the same day. She was on vacation and got an SMS. THIRTY SIX YEARS...!!!
@@HeadCannonPrime as I had commented previously - the boomers not only voted themselves more money - they promptly borrowed against that money and billed us.
I have always said that if young people, by which I mean anyone under 30, voted in the same numbers as the boomers, this would be an entirely different country.
Problem is, younger people don't have the same numbers as Boomers and half of Boomers haven't worked in 50 years. They literally sit around and wait for election days
But if they listen to Prof G and Bernie they will be misdirected away from the real problem though. Like they did voting out people who did real work in Congress and ushered in younger people who so far have not accomplished anything. Prof G and Bernie are always protecting their interests and the corporations that pay them when they speak so no one really learns anything.
@@WanderingExistence couldn't disagree more. He's doing a character, like Colbert used to, where you make the questions jokes to keep the interview engaging
@@radiumtheatre Ok, maybe the problem is that I'm already engaged into the intellectual capacity of the guest and don't need to be distracted with cheap humor- because that what it was due to making Scott lose his flow right as he was getting into the meaty parts.

Being emotionally invested in an issue is important. ... The next step is actually doing something about it. A lot of people get upset, but fewer people actually go out and try to implement change. Especially now, with social media, which we can use as an emotional outlet as an alternative to investing effort into changing our lifestyles and habits.
@@Jackolantirn but what can you do about it in a bipartisan system where both the major parties together hold 100% of the power - literally 100% of it - and they both vote themselves more money, as Scott says it so well.

Thank you for putting this out, it has rekindled the fire in my goal. Was able to find Kathleen on the web and sent an email hoping it gets attended to.
Fantastic! I did an AmeriCorps ViSTa program on a native charter reservation school and I learned so much! I think it’s a fantastic idea for national service.

More than anything, We need to start caring about one another again.
Reagan was all for wages following the CPI. It was the Bush 43 administration that ushered in the new philosophy coming out of Harvard at the time to pay less and people would put up with it. Gore warned of this but no one listened.
Yes, Scott's compelling message on behalf of corporations (his clients) who are hoarding billions paid to them by the American consumer and keeping it from reentering the economy by paying wages that barely allow their employees to cover basic expenses. But sure - blame government policy. Given his client list, too much of a conflict of interest for him to tell the truth.
I'm just curious as to where the constant tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy & already rich corporations over the last 40 years fits into this equation of income inequality. It seems like this plan for a ruling-class owned & operated society was setup back in the early 80s beginning with Reaganomics, which is where those tax cuts began
Definitely. This guy (host) is funny in small doses, but his "angry ADHD" style is a bit much for me. Jon would've set up a game of verbal chess with Mr. G, and that would have been fascinating to watch.
Prof G I listen to you every week on pivot, prof g markets, and most importantly I listen to G Hann read no mercy no malice. You’re an important voice in my life and hopefully the life of the nation.
As a teacher I 100% agree with the forced compulsory service to the country for say 1-3 years (DOES NOT MEAN MILITARY SERVICE) - it would foster care for the nation/future and empathy for fellow citizens despite differences between them
Learned about Scott from Pivot and he's never failed to impress me since. He is such a smart man. He WILL profit off of the status quo, but the entire time, he'll be yelling and fighting for change so he stops profiting.

Thank you a) Scott Galloway for the clear perspective and b) Ronny Chieng for blunt humor that ALL of us born after a certain time can relate to. Very well handled discussion.
Yes Thank You Scott Galloway for promoting Walmart's message "we want to pay you more of our billions in cash but the government won't raise the minimum wage so we just can't pay people a fair wage! Alas, it will have to just go into our pockets, thanks to government policies! Yes you all should be so mad at them! And by the way, you should be saving 3-6% of your poverty wages or you have no hope of retiring well. Blame the government!"
He said "3% to 6%starting in your 20s" and you'll be wealthy at his age. Easiest way, have 10% auto-transferred into savings each pay period. Don't worry, it's still yours. Make a game of living on the rest: Can I do without it or get it cheaper? Lots of RUclips channels on thrift. And you might be under-paid at your current job. Negotiating raises; strategically changing jobs; getting certification, training & education that bumps up your pay level are survival necessities now.
It doesn't work on its own, it's dependent on his other advice working out. It's a broad statement. You will never be rich saving even 10% of your salary at McDonalds unless you get incredibly lucky with bets on the market which is not advisable or sustainable. His advice about saving is largely targeted at people working jobs above the median pay. I wouldn't castigate him for that either. There isn't one answer to any of these problems. You'd have to make a lot of changes which have the potential to lead to a better future and even then it isn't guaranteed.
@@TheDilkshakeyou don't need to be lucky just put it in a low cost index fund tried and safe but people need to be educated about it. As Mr Boggle said, why bet in the casino when you can buy the casino 😎
Is it tougher for the ones at the bottom of the income hierarchy to be able to put aside money for their retirement? Certainly - however it is not impossible, and every single one of us needs to understand that compounding interest and time in the market are our friends. The median household have a real shot at having over a million dollars saved up if they can put forward 10% of the households income into savings per year across a lifetime (40 years), and if you have an average income instead of the median, that number dramatically increases. That's not to say it's not tough at the bottom - it is, and while I am not American, I would hope you guys are able to help those in that situation. However the median McD worker would be able to retire with about $250,000 saved up if they were able to put up that 10% you noted. I don't know if that is enough to retire with in the US, but from what I can see, they would still be able to beat the current median savings for that age, even though they have been below median income levels their whole life.
If y'all have never heard of Scott Galloway, I highly recommend checking out his TEDtalk, it's succinct, it's informative, it's what people need to hear.
@@user-hq4yi4uo5i Neither Ronny nor Professor Galloway did anything here to enlighten anyone. Jon would have brought up that corporations paid Boomers enough to live on when they got out of school, not like today.
I agree with what one person said about the sweeping generalizations. That 15% Capital Gains Tax was something I noticed early on in my adult life and took advantage of. It might not be possible for someone working 2 jobs with a family, but if at all possible get some portion of your income invested early in stocks or real estate. As both tend to pay off over the long run and that reduced tax rate makes it much better.
I think it's nice that he shows a degree of awareness of what people are facing these days, but the idea of saving money for the future is, frankly, a pipe dream for most of today's young people.
Bet you some of those with the pipe dream of saving money have money for luxuries like iPhones and game consoles. Not to mention nice clothing a new cars. Have you seen the price at Sephora? No cover girl for them.
@@lorenarodr6794 Oh no, the horror...trying to actually enjoy life and have some reprieve from a fudged up world? Not having an iphone or game console or an occasional nice dress or a car you enjoy isn't what is keeping someone poor. Considering also how fast our climate is changing--maybe most of us won't get to his age, might as well YOLO.
@@nicolasgirard2808 and many aren't. the idea of "the wealthy generation vs the poor generation" is kinda bs as in reality it's a wealthy vs poor thing, with the wealthy from all generations stealing from the people who are poor he is far too reductive in his statement and basically ignores class
@@kab2599 THIS. I'm 33 now and i've noticed most of the smart and honest people who could make a change for the better either don't believe in themself or just don't want to get mixed in a toxic place like politics
I think he meant if you save 3-6% of HIS salary cuz Ive been saving 6% of my salary for 30 years already and Its still a knee high pile of scrap copper, not a pyramid of gold.
You need to be investing it not saving. Compound interest is what makes it work. If you put $160 every month in an S&P500 index fund for 30years you would have ~$324,000 dollars. After 45 years it would be 1.4 million after 50years 2.2 million. As you make more try to invest a bit more.
@@cncmillman What world are you living in? $324,000 is knee high money dude. Now change the number from $160 a month to $1600. Like I said, HIS salary not mine.
@@johnnynephrite6147 point is in 10 years it will be a million. This is investing 6% on a 16 $/hr job. I would say that’s a pyramid of gold if you are only making 16$/hr your whole life.
@@johnnynephrite6147 $160 a month is 6% with a $16/hr job. If you have $320k invested you make the same in investments as the job you work. In 10 years it will be 1 million in investments. I would say that’s a pyramid of gold.
I love this guy!! ❤ l think humans will get it together and treat everyone with the respect and kindness everyone deserves. I'm hoping for my lifetime, but you know, humans.
I'm 68, went through several recessions, lost jobs because of closures - as if walking on melting ice. Several jobs, from up to janitor in a warehouse, cleaning restrooms. First home at 21, economy ruined everything. I was not college educated but I understood/learned and I was not afraid to ask questions. I retired as a Sr manager, I was chosen over highly educated individuals, Masters, PHd, and more. I was very skilled in my position, I interviewed for fun and offered several positions - turned down. But I never forget the challenges and intense worries that i experienced, often smiling and telling all it's ok, knowing i had nothing in my pocket or refrigerator or sharing last dollar, saying I had more. Not rich, but humbled in a home and retirement. Worries for democracy, vote
@@kezzt It kind of seems implied with “economy ruined everything” but the English is ambiguous so… maybe he lost? Maybe not? In either case, no one today is making enough money as a janitor to buy a house at 21 even if they lose it later.
@@AshraNashal52 exactly. He bought a house as a janitor at 21, chose not to get a degree and was retired by 68. That's objectively an easy life, in comparison to today's average person.
Boomer here. I worked 39 years. Started with $1.20 an hour as a secretary. Became an RN and made $20 an hour in 1996. Got a Masters degree and was fired in 2019 making $23 an hour. A financial advisor told me that I would have enough for retirement if I saved $300 a month in a 401k. That would be $150,000. Did that but 5 years ago I heard you actually need a million. Where's this gigantic wealth he's talking about?
I agree with a lot of what he has to say, but as a mom of teenage boys, I am not pro- mandatory service, especially with the MAGA/America First movements making enemies and allies with the wrong sides( denouncing NATO/Pro-Putin)
When I was a teenager I needed to get out and see the world to find out who I was and where I fit in. I really needed some sort of a "rite of passage" into becoming a man. My mother, still to this day will tell you that letting her boys go was the hardest thing she's done. I was the thrill seeker in my family and my lifestyle used to worry her a lot. We, my three brothers and I each did our own thing. We are still alive and very close to our mom. I actually bought a house five minutes away from her so I can take care of her. She's in her late 70's ... I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. She showed me what unconditional love is and I will always cherish that. Nothing's more powerful than a mother's love.
The “me” generation has been hoarding all the wealth and decision-making power for decades! Hopefully future generations will not be so selfish and greedy.
Simply put, only spent what you have, even saving $20/week is never too little. I don't go to Starbucks, i made mt coffee at home I go to movies before 4pm, it's cheaper. I rarely go to restaurants, i still did lot's of activity. I volunteer at my local museums to stay busy, i can put it on my resume and briefly talked about it during job interview. When I take a vacation,bi stayed in hostels and met so many interesting international travelers.
Wow, Ronny could host the show full time no problem. Seems like the modern day Jon Steward in this clip. Love it! So much talent in the cast of this show.
Jon would have asked better questions, and would have addressed the fact that Prof Galloway makes a ton of money as a corporate consultant and coincidentally he did not place any of the blame on the low wages they are paying which don't keep up with consumer prices so that young people, never mind saving 3%-6% (which he tossed off like it was a given) don't have enough money to simply pay rent and eat nutritious food nowadays. At least when Boomers got out of school they made a high enough wage to meet these basic expenses.
@@scarletryane8842look. The demo base is young people you have to speak in the TikTok generation terms. I like Ronny’s plain and simple yet englightening style.
we were the first ones to scream when the roller coaster started curving downward ... Still, as bad as we had it, I can't imagine starting out as an adult now. We had slim chances. Folks now have none.
I agree with much of what he says but he is a bit off base telling young people to save more in the face of rising rents, rising insurance costs, ridiculous costs of daycare, stagnating wages, and high healthcare costs. There is not much left over to save.
Wowww, Ronnie nailed it on the content and the vibe here. His questions were actually calling out some of the important assumptions that Scott isn't talking about, and he was funny.
I love this guy. Mad respect for Prof G. Been following him for years, when he speaks, we really need to listen.

blame reagan for starters
So true! Marginal tax rate was 90% when that bast*rd slashed them to 35%
Reagan was all for wages following the CPI. It was the Bush 43 administration that ushered in the new philosophy coming out of Harvard at the time to pay less and people would put up with it. Gore warned of this but no one listened.
Trickle-down theory has never worked, and it keeps coming back.
started with Nixon's "war on drugs"
Reagan started the "Age of Bribery". There has always been some bribery but the Reagan administration passed laws to make it legal.

Yes Thank You Scott Galloway for promoting Walmart's message "we want to pay you more of our billions in cash but the government won't raise the minimum wage so we just can't pay people a fair wage! Alas, it will have to just go into our pockets, thanks to government policies! Yes you all should be so mad at them! And by the way, you should be saving 3-6% of your poverty wages or you have no hope of retiring well. Blame the government!"
I agree with the guy, but save what money from where?
He said "3% to 6%starting in your 20s" and you'll be wealthy at his age. Easiest way, have 10% auto-transferred into savings each pay period. Don't worry, it's still yours. Make a game of living on the rest: Can I do without it or get it cheaper? Lots of RUclips channels on thrift. And you might be under-paid at your current job. Negotiating raises; strategically changing jobs; getting certification, training & education that bumps up your pay level are survival necessities now.
It doesn't work on its own, it's dependent on his other advice working out. It's a broad statement. You will never be rich saving even 10% of your salary at McDonalds unless you get incredibly lucky with bets on the market which is not advisable or sustainable. His advice about saving is largely targeted at people working jobs above the median pay. I wouldn't castigate him for that either. There isn't one answer to any of these problems. You'd have to make a lot of changes which have the potential to lead to a better future and even then it isn't guaranteed.
@@TheDilkshakeyou don't need to be lucky just put it in a low cost index fund tried and safe but people need to be educated about it. As Mr Boggle said, why bet in the casino when you can buy the casino 😎
Is it tougher for the ones at the bottom of the income hierarchy to be able to put aside money for their retirement? Certainly - however it is not impossible, and every single one of us needs to understand that compounding interest and time in the market are our friends.
The median household have a real shot at having over a million dollars saved up if they can put forward 10% of the households income into savings per year across a lifetime (40 years), and if you have an average income instead of the median, that number dramatically increases.
That's not to say it's not tough at the bottom - it is, and while I am not American, I would hope you guys are able to help those in that situation. However the median McD worker would be able to retire with about $250,000 saved up if they were able to put up that 10% you noted. I don't know if that is enough to retire with in the US, but from what I can see, they would still be able to beat the current median savings for that age, even though they have been below median income levels their whole life.
@@TheDilkshake... thank you. This is exactly what he was missing.
Thanks! you sure made ProfG skip his memorized lines and engaged him 😂
If y'all have never heard of Scott Galloway, I highly recommend checking out his TEDtalk, it's succinct, it's informative, it's what people need to hear.
Thanks Ronny for enlightening us
@harry8201 Thanks *Scott
@@user-hq4yi4uo5i Neither Ronny nor Professor Galloway did anything here to enlighten anyone. Jon would have brought up that corporations paid Boomers enough to live on when they got out of school, not like today.
Love Prof G!
Billionaires are to blame, Ronny!
It's that simple.
I agree with what one person said about the sweeping generalizations. That 15% Capital Gains Tax was something I noticed early on in my adult life and took advantage of. It might not be possible for someone working 2 jobs with a family, but if at all possible get some portion of your income invested early in stocks or real estate. As both tend to pay off over the long run and that reduced tax rate makes it much better.
Fun Fact: All rich people taste the same.
yum
I loves the Soylent Green 💚
And their children are less stringy.
@@johnl6176 A lot less fat, since they eat so well.
With some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Scott Galloway is the GOAT
I came here for comedy and got an information firehose.
He needs to run for president
I think it's nice that he shows a degree of awareness of what people are facing these days, but the idea of saving money for the future is, frankly, a pipe dream for most of today's young people.
Bet you some of those with the pipe dream of saving money have money for luxuries like iPhones and game consoles. Not to mention nice clothing a new cars. Have you seen the price at Sephora? No cover girl for them.
You can absolutely save and invest 10% of your income.
👆what OP said 👆
@@lorenarodr6794 Oh no, the horror...trying to actually enjoy life and have some reprieve from a fudged up world? Not having an iphone or game console or an occasional nice dress or a car you enjoy isn't what is keeping someone poor. Considering also how fast our climate is changing--maybe most of us won't get to his age, might as well YOLO.
@@muay_khao Not if your income doesn't even pay your rent.
1:00 Poverty is the default position of mankind, and there are those who would keep it that way, for others.
Great set. Ronnie!
Well said by Scott, internalize that advice, young folks! And vote!
How about MAKE THE RICH PAY THEIR TAXES! Stop blaming granny.
A lot of grannies are rich. That's kinda his point, boomers are pretty rich on average
@@nicolasgirard2808 and many aren't. the idea of "the wealthy generation vs the poor generation" is kinda bs as in reality it's a wealthy vs poor thing, with the wealthy from all generations stealing from the people who are poor
he is far too reductive in his statement and basically ignores class
REMEMBER In November…! Vote RFK, ALL The WAY…!!!
Scott Galloway for President!!!
2024!!!
Right? All the people we need in politics don’t want to do it 😑
@@kab2599 THIS. I'm 33 now and i've noticed most of the smart and honest people who could make a change for the better either don't believe in themself or just don't want to get mixed in a toxic place like politics
I was wondering who this random guy was but I’m glad I clicked and happy DS picked him as a guest, thank you.
I would give $$$ money to see these two playing drinking games 😂😂😂❤
I didn't know that I needed this till you said it - now I want to see Mr Chen and Mr Galloway play drinking games with economic facts!
I LOVE SCOTT GALLOWAY. He is my idol. This is the best mashup. My favourite show: the daily show + My favourite professor: Scott Galloway
I think he meant if you save 3-6% of HIS salary cuz Ive been saving 6% of my salary for 30 years already and Its still a knee high pile of scrap copper, not a pyramid of gold.
You need to be investing it not saving. Compound interest is what makes it work. If you put $160 every month in an S&P500 index fund for 30years you would have ~$324,000 dollars. After 45 years it would be 1.4 million after 50years 2.2 million. As you make more try to invest a bit more.
@@cncmillman What world are you living in? $324,000 is knee high money dude. Now change the number from $160 a month to $1600. Like I said, HIS salary not mine.
@@johnnynephrite6147 point is in 10 years it will be a million. This is investing 6% on a 16 $/hr job. I would say that’s a pyramid of gold if you are only making 16$/hr your whole life.
@@johnnynephrite6147 $160 a month is 6% with a $16/hr job. If you have $320k invested you make the same in investments as the job you work. In 10 years it will be 1 million in investments. I would say that’s a pyramid of gold.
I love this guy!! ❤ l think humans will get it together and treat everyone with the respect and kindness everyone deserves. I'm hoping for my lifetime, but you know, humans.
What a great, smart, mature, informative guest and interview. This was monumentally better than that other guest, Eben Moss-ButtCrac.
LOVE SCOTT GALLOWAY!
I'm 68, went through several recessions, lost jobs because of closures - as if walking on melting ice. Several jobs, from up to janitor in a warehouse, cleaning restrooms. First home at 21, economy ruined everything. I was not college educated but I understood/learned and I was not afraid to ask questions. I retired as a Sr manager, I was chosen over highly educated individuals, Masters, PHd, and more. I was very skilled in my position, I interviewed for fun and offered several positions - turned down. But I never forget the challenges and intense worries that i experienced, often smiling and telling all it's ok, knowing i had nothing in my pocket or refrigerator or sharing last dollar, saying I had more. Not rich, but humbled in a home and retirement. Worries for democracy, vote
"first home at 21".
@@kezzt and then lost it to economic downturn
@@patbeulah6208 where does it say that?
@@kezzt It kind of seems implied with “economy ruined everything” but the English is ambiguous so… maybe he lost? Maybe not?
In either case, no one today is making enough money as a janitor to buy a house at 21 even if they lose it later.
@@AshraNashal52 exactly. He bought a house as a janitor at 21, chose not to get a degree and was retired by 68. That's objectively an easy life, in comparison to today's average person.
Boomer here. I worked 39 years. Started with $1.20 an hour as a secretary. Became an RN and made $20 an hour in 1996. Got a Masters degree and was fired in 2019 making $23 an hour. A financial advisor told me that I would have enough for retirement if I saved $300 a month in a 401k. That would be $150,000. Did that but 5 years ago I heard you actually need a million. Where's this gigantic wealth he's talking about?
I agree with a lot of what he has to say, but as a mom of teenage boys, I am not pro- mandatory service, especially with the MAGA/America First movements making enemies and allies with the wrong sides( denouncing NATO/Pro-Putin)
You have to listen to his whole pitch. He recommends non military type service, food kitchen, building housing, etc...
Is a mother of a teenage son, I too am afraid.
Mandatory service doesn't necessarily mean "military service". :)
When I was a teenager I needed to get out and see the world to find out who I was and where I fit in. I really needed some sort of a "rite of passage" into becoming a man. My mother, still to this day will tell you that letting her boys go was the hardest thing she's done. I was the thrill seeker in my family and my lifestyle used to worry her a lot. We, my three brothers and I each did our own thing. We are still alive and very close to our mom. I actually bought a house five minutes away from her so I can take care of her. She's in her late 70's ... I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. She showed me what unconditional love is and I will always cherish that. Nothing's more powerful than a mother's love.
I don't think he meant military service only, probably more volunteering and stuff
I love this, and love Scott! One question though… did he say mandatory military service??
Remember old people were young once and contributed to their parents and grandparents well being.
Scott is a national treasure, ty sir!
Ronny - Scott Galloway is a Gen X not a Baby Boomer - he was just too polite to correct you on this.
Gen X - always forgotten and overlooked 😉
I’m Old, and I approve this message.
The “me” generation has been hoarding all the wealth and decision-making power for decades! Hopefully future generations will not be so selfish and greedy.
This is so spot on!!!! We need more of this messaging and how can we get these two guys in government !!!!
Great interviewer and interviewee.
Scotts podcasts are amazing listen to them weekly and you will become a smarter & wealthier person.
"Our elected officials are a cross between the Golden Girls & The Walking Dead..."
*Preach!*
Run for president please!
Simply put, only spent what you have, even saving $20/week is never too little.
I don't go to Starbucks, i made mt coffee at home
I go to movies before 4pm, it's cheaper.
I rarely go to restaurants, i still did lot's of activity.
I volunteer at my local museums to stay busy, i can put it on my resume and briefly talked about it during job interview.
When I take a vacation,bi stayed in hostels and met so many interesting international travelers.
Mandatory national service, whatever form it may be, is such an interesting method to promote togetherness and be considerate of others. 👍
90% of what’s being suggested presupposes the individual is making an actual livable income already.
BINGO! barristas saving 2% of their income aren't making a sizeable change to their retirement funds
This man should be president
I didn’t know John Malkovich is so versed in business and economics.
woooooo scotty. legend.
Wow, Ronny could host the show full time no problem. Seems like the modern day Jon Steward in this clip. Love it! So much talent in the cast of this show.
Jon would have asked better questions, and would have addressed the fact that Prof Galloway makes a ton of money as a corporate consultant and coincidentally he did not place any of the blame on the low wages they are paying which don't keep up with consumer prices so that young people, never mind saving 3%-6% (which he tossed off like it was a given) don't have enough money to simply pay rent and eat nutritious food nowadays. At least when Boomers got out of school they made a high enough wage to meet these basic expenses.
@@scarletryane8842look. The demo base is young people you have to speak in the TikTok generation terms. I like Ronny’s plain and simple yet englightening style.
This man is incredibly witty
Gen X - sigh - represent - hands up
They always say it's millennials and zoomers feeling the pain, but boomers perfected it on xrs. We've been struggling with it the longest.
we were the first ones to scream when the roller coaster started curving downward ... Still, as bad as we had it, I can't imagine starting out as an adult now. We had slim chances. Folks now have none.
Right here buddy🙋🏻♂️ I feel you
Great segment.
He just pointed out that minimum wage is $7.25/hr, now he's assuming people have money to save.
Prof G for President!
I agree with much of what he says but he is a bit off base telling young people to save more in the face of rising rents, rising insurance costs, ridiculous costs of daycare, stagnating wages, and high healthcare costs. There is not much left over to save.
Wowww, Ronnie nailed it on the content and the vibe here. His questions were actually calling out some of the important assumptions that Scott isn't talking about, and he was funny.
