    Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

      Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, and other powerful nations waking up to trade in their own currencies. Good thing is, a lot of people still turn to the Dollar because of the safety is somehow assures. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of these factors and more. Where else can we keep our money?

      Well, I suggest you make a diversification plan because it's been harder to build a good portfolio that stays afloat since COVID. Personally, I garner knowledge from a brokerage Adviser whom I work with, and I've actually made over $350K with their help since February. Very effective defensive strategies are used to protect my portfolio and make profits despite the ups and downs.

      I personally have my portfolio overseen by California-based wealth advisor and fixed income strategist at that 'Julie Anne Hoover' well established and you'd find her professional bio on the net. However I suggest you look closer to home, sometimes to move certain amount of money I am required to be in California.

There's also health benefits to calorie restriction. I have no car note because I drive an older car that gets me where I need to go, my rent is paid with one paycheck, and I have no bad habits: titty bars, hoez, drugs, partying, etc.

    When I was growing up in South Florida back in the 1980s you were seen as low income if you lived in an apartment---even a decent one. People only lived in apartments if they couldn't afford a house, and lived there till they saved enough money to buy one. Now 35 years later apartments are a luxury and you're lucky if you can even afford one. In Florida the price of one has shot up literally 10 times what they were in the late 1980s. Yet the minimum wage has barely budged. It's ridiculous. Pretty soon having a place to LIVE will be a luxury.

      Look for food banks , food shelves, food pantries. Apply for Food stamps. Look for churches, some churches will help with daycare and helping to feed your family. There is always help out there. I know working full time, it isn’t easy to find help but in America, no one should be going hungry because there is food out there that organizations are willing to give. Keep working hard, eventually you will break through this and things will become easier if you keep your chin up and have a strong work ethic.

      Find like-minded good personality family members or friends and move in together. Don't wait for the gov't to figure things out for you. Use your smarts and creativity. Remember, for millions of years, humans have always been interdependent with families or tribes. There is no such thing as "independent". Independence means death because you got no support system. The fact that some people in our society push the "independent" philosophy is stupid. They only make their own life hard and struggle. Become interdependent and learn to compromise and cooperate. Those are the true skills of survival.

      Be the change you want to see in the world and don’t let failure be your final destination..... Grow from your experiences and share them with the world.....
      A wise woman once said that!
      Times like these build character but only if we let them. I used to stop at Dunkin on the way to work, 5x a week, yeah I got points and some freebies, but that was the crack that kept me coming back. Counting tips it was like $30 a week, because that's my coffee time d*mmit, and I'm worth it!
      Nowadays a dollar here and a dollar there can make a difference. I decided to adjust and improve my life since I was paying attention to ME anyway. I went to Walmart and bought 18oz of Starbucks and a $15 French press for about what my weekly coffee bill was, maybe $10 more.
      That makes me over 50 cups at 2 Tbs per 6oz (Strong coffee) my thermos holds about 15oz so that's 20 cups, 20 days worth for the price of 5 (French press is paid for in one week!)
      So, I'm drinking Starbucks and LOVING IT (there isn't a drive through here) and I have $90 a month "extra"
      Ready for the zinger?
      10% inflation adds $10 to every $100 I spend in a YEAR but only $0.84 every month (10%/12 months)
      Dividing my $90 savings by 84c (inflation per Benjamin) I find over a hundred "units" for easy math that's 100x100. Just *improving my coffee life* BOUGHT DOWN INFLATION on $10,000 worth of spending!
      I don't spend $10k a month, not close.
      ... be the change!
      Another thing I did is replace one stick of butter in a pound cake with margarine. So it's 3/4# butter and 1/4# margarine. I can't tell the difference, nobody knew but me. That little savings bought down all of the inflation for the month on a hundred dollars worth of spending - again, with ZERO SACRIFICE!
      Be the change you want to see in the world and don’t let failure be your final destination..... Grow from your experiences and share them with the world....

      ​@@BYOB561 This is baked into the American system. Think about it. Why does our economy go into "booms", and then "recissions" every decade or so? No matter whoses in charge, red or blue, this is consistently happening. I'm happy that you were lucky enough to be finacially comfortable during Trump's years, but many Americans were not... Our homeless population was still increasing, wages were still stagnant, affordable healthcare was still a distant dream for the average ciziten.
      This would've happened if Trump was in office. _Why?_ Our politics do not represent the American people, but the top 1%. Those who are most wealthy. Our laws are not made in place with the express and sole-purpose of propping up ones who are in the most need, but whoever will give Trump, Biden, or any other president the most money. (and in turn - power) This is happening all across the world too...Look at Canada, UK, Germany, Australian news, they all sing the same tune of "high inflatation and low wages".

I food shop at the cheapest store and buy only the cheapest items, and between rent, car payments, meds, and CC payments, very little is left of my paycheck.

Work is not for fulfillment; it's to give you the life you want to live when you clock out. I'm baffled as to which jobs don't allow upward movement if you're working your tail off. I'm genuinely asking everyone who agrees with OP to give me examples of the types of jobs that haven't had rate increases since the 2000s.

    • @nobodysbusiness3533
      @nobodysbusiness3533 Год назад +5

      @@yourerightimwrong4567 I agree that working is about the necessity to survive and maintain, but if you are just surviving you are not living. I don't know how old your children are but I applaud you for telling them to look into their desired career. However, bare in mind that they are not the only ones looking into career fields that pay well. This causes a high rate of applicants and ultimately longer periods of finding a position if they even acquire one. Most entities that allow for moving up in the company stress the essential of having a four year degree that fits into open positions within the company. The average cost of college per year is almost $30,000. Obviously, that number will be different if you choose a more desired University. Depending on how many credit hours you are able to accomplish each semester will determine when you successfully complete your degree. If you're lucky enough to apply and receive a grant you will still pay the majority out of pocket. Now, who pays the out of pocket cost? The student. Most students prefer in classroom schedules over online education. This means that they will have to find a job that will meet their scheduling needs which is difficult. For example, a fast food restaurant or a retailer position part time is typically suitable. The mentioned jobs do not even pay a rate that is comparable to the cost of living. Jane snuffy or Joe blow will likely have to make a decision of whether to attend college or maintain a job for minimal survivability. Your question of rate increases is null when it doesn't account for the cost of living. Nor does it apply to the semester fees that one must provide in order to try to get ahead in life. I suppose the previous commenter failed to factor in. The complaints are NOT about working. It's about working with the possibility of being able to live. No one is asking to be paid a six figure salary to flip burgers, bust tables, or hang clothes at target. The request is simple and justified. Pay people a rate that matches the increase in cost of living. I find it tiring when people stand in their echo chamber screaming "Well, go to college and find a better paying job." How? What is your solution to this growing problem? Before you ask me what my solution would be just refer back to my comments about paying a fair wage in this economical diarrhea that we live in. I appreciate your response to my comment and I'm open to anything that you have to say. You seem like the type of person that can hold a conversation with civility and intelligence.

What about starting by driving smaller cars then you may be able to save a lot. In Germany gas prices are about twice higher than in US despite wages being lower in average. High inflation is a problem without a doubt, but I think many folks in US are used to unecessary luxury.

When people buy "huge Trucks/SUVs" they aren't expecting the government to shut down oil pipelines and skyrocket the cost of fuel. Then, they don't have the option of simply buying another car. Right now due to the semi-conductor shortage, automobile prices are extremely high.

      The problem with skilled work is ability, access, opportunity and sometimes very low pay if brought on and trained so again the issue might still be money at the end. This all assumes people can develop the skills and do the job both safely and efficiently enough to make themselves and others a profit. My concern is the cost associate with career change and if people can get paid enough to at least break even while doing so.

    There's a theory that small farms being allowed to compete in the agricultural market could cut costs, like capitalism is intended to do. They're usually snuffed out by agricultural behemoth corporations, as it stands. I think antitrust laws need to be enforced, and the IRS needs to be able to measure estates to tax them appropriately. It's not hard to see that corporations are making huge amounts of money off the backs of manipulated workers. We also need to raise the minimum wage, because corporations haven't done it for us. Unionize. Be wise about union-busting techniques, so you can avoid them successfully. You have a right to unionize.

      Unions accomplish very little aside from robbing you blind through union membership costs. they waste money in endless litigation with owners that never gets the common worker anything, and the attorneys unions hire laugh all the way to the bank with fistfuls of your money.
      In the rare case they actually finally *WIN* some perceived benefit/wage raise for the workers, the gain is offset by
      >the cost of what it took to legally acquire it
      >the *settlement* that is always WAY less than what the original request was.
      the only modern-day unions I've ever seen that had an arguable amount of success were the railroad unions and the foundry/metallurgy unions, because the country couldn't function without them (causing massive disruption and civil unrest for the government to force a wage raise and safety requirements) the rest are either corrupt or a waste of money.

The only winners are the shareholders who smile at the checks they get...at the expense of each and every one of us. Ask any Paramedic in the U.S. if they think they are properly compensated for what they do. Things shouldn't be this way for anyone. Imagine for a second if the tables turned and you're in a serious pickle... and some cop, Firefighter, garbage men, and even soldiers suddenly said, "You're not paying me enough." If the families had those checks instead of the shareholders who are probably millionaires anyway we wouldn't be in this mess.

      There are so many entry level jobs the United States right now that everybody could get a job here but they don't want to. Most places are starting at $14 to $17 an hour.
      Our inflation is very high because our President has the brains of a Baboon.
