All of which "disappears" in "an accident" and then the state, funded by the people, needs to "pump blood" into banks to keep "the system" alive. Can you see which way the money is flowing? Meanwhile the state is printing more money to give the people the illusion they still have the same amount. The same amount yes, the same value no.

    Humor is always at its best when it's based on TRUTH. I took college courses in economics and most of what is on this video is exactly what I was taught. They're really discussing the Multiplier Effect. Every new dollar 'creates money' as it flows through the system.
    One thing I really agree with is: Don't spend money you don't have on non-essential items. I would never buy. let's say, a big screen TV unless I had $1,000 in the bank. Why? If I finance it, it will cost me at least $1,200. Why should I pay $200 more?
    By the way, I was really pissed when the American government handed a trillion dollars to Wall Street. And I'm even more pissed that the government removed regulations that would prevent it from happening again.

    • @dahlberry
      @dahlberry 2 года назад +15

      Regulations were the cause for the skewed incentives to start with, giving rise to the subprime loan boom. Bush started a campaign called Every American Should Own a Home where banks where incentivised to give loans to people with lower credit scores(sub prime), for which a higher rate could be taken. These subprimes were an essential part of the crash.

      @customerguy8581 Год назад +3

      But, see, therein lies the problem, because at least in America if you live like that then you will end up with either bad credit or no credit, which functionally are the same thing. In order to receive credit you must partake in the credit system and finance things on which you pay interest. It's a scam in which you inherently must pay more money than things are worth, or you are disallowed from participating in the system. I know this because I lived my life that way for many years only to realize I had apparently royally fucked up by only purchasing things that I knew I could afford.
      The crux of the issue is that to get credit you must participate in this scam, and credit is more and more being applied to things wherein you aren't even asking for financing. It's almost impossible to rent an apartment, rent a car, get a job, or any number of other things without having your credit score checked, and if it isn't high enough you are denied. It's being used as a de facto way to tell whether or not someone is a decent member of society, and I hate it.
      As part of "building up my credit" I'm going to get a "pre-paid credit card" which is where I give someone my money, and they "allow" me to spend it and pay them interest on that spending, all in the name of accruing more credit, so eventually if I give them enough interest they will allow me to participate further in the scam and get a real credit card where I can spend their money and give them interest for it.

    • @joythought

You can get a credit card where you don't pay interest if you don't carry a balance and this will build your credit, just put stuff on it that you were gonna buy anyway and pay it off every month. Paying your utility bills builds you credit because you were "loaned" the utilities only to have to pay for them at the end of the month. When I became an adult and started living on my own I had no credit because I had never had any bills in my name or taken any loans, I always just bought used cars with cash etc. and this is how I built decent credit in just a couple years.

      The unfortunate truth is...in order to get far in life, as finance and economics is concerned, you need to know how to leverage money. If that concept is lost on you..well idk what else to tell you. Also, it's not numbers only as most believe. There's also an art to it.

      @@literaryartist1 well, i understand the logic behind that concept and im sure there are certains ways to do things to get the best results, but i also think there are major flaws and one dont have to use every trick in the book when he thinks its not right.
      This quote obviously has some truth in the current system but it also causes good amount of trouble.

      @@BuGGyBoBerl True. It does has its flaws. Biggest of them is perpetual debt. But every person that has acquired wealth has done it mainly through the means of debt. The unfortunate truth is that every financial success story is in big part founded on debt. Now how far every individual person is willing to go, is up to the individual. The way I see it, the reason these billionaires keep on playing the game is out of enjoying the feeling of winning. Just my $0.02

    @TheTrueJBV3737 Completely agree :) I have a FICO score of 827/900, which is supposedly very good, but all I've done is restricted myself to one credit card and paid my bills on time. It's not complicated, but yes, self control and education about this does seem to be lacking.
    For instance, I know people who are not yet thirty and have over $100,000 debt (about $20,000 of which is on credit cards!!) and I wonder how they ever let it get so bad...
