We are becoming Dodo birds 🦤
SOMEONE needs to research this NOW.
a post on "tk tock" labeled, "savetheamericanflag", showed *_Uniformed U.N Officers_* confronting a U.S Citizen in a building located in *_DOWNTOWN SALT LAKE CITY.!_*
the UN Soldier said they had *_TAKEN OVER_* the bldg and it was *_NO LONGER U.S PROPERTY.!_*
That Was In 2022 -- AFTER Joey Baby's term started.
With regards to being kind against being right.
I see this differently: We are like in a storm situation on the open sea in a small boat. Building a bigger boat is nice, but letting someone in who will drill a hole in your boat is a lethal mistake. And if you see & hear someone spouting nonsense, what guarantee do you have that they are not gonna hull your boat?
Global warming??? Really? Yeah, whatever there buddy.
Global warming???? Wow you need to spend some time learning about that fraud. Crop production is being affected more by govts than anything else. Also the sun has a cycle that affects the earth. I will not be subscribing.
Has anyone else felt tension in the air lately? Even if you don’t follow the news much, there’s still something underlying, like it’s holding it’s breath for something to happen?
Yes... we are in the end times..get right with Jesus while you still can !!
I feel like I am waiting for “the other shoe to drop”..
Everyone is on edge everywhere I go....you can see it on people's faces....at least, those who aren't mindlessly staring into a phone.
There’s a feeling of coming social unrest in the U.S. and Canada with war on an international level.
@@annadanbury9276Thank you for pointing that out. It’s a good reminder. Even devout Christians, who believe in that, can at times become distracted, forgetting what time it is.
I am mathematician. I have done some research. After federal taxes , SS and Medicare taxes, state taxes, sales taxes, car registration taxes, car insurance, home insurance, property taxes....I determined that the average American is left with a little less that 32 pennies for every dollars earned. The 32 pennies will have to pay for Internet, gas, food , meds and clothes. So at the end of the month, there is nothing left. That , ladies and gentlemen, is for a $55 k salary per year. Unbelievable. Our kids cannot afford rent. This is a very sad state of affairs. My kids buy their clothes from a good will store. This is a sad state of affairs for the richest country on planet earth
Goodwill....good example of end stage capitalism. A multi-billion corporation that gets free goods, and then sells those goods back to us at a somewhat discount. Yet nobody bats an eye at that business model amd continues to support them.
We all need to sell our own stuff. We all need to fight for higher wages. We all need to fight for unions and stop electing officials who dismantle unions.
And people brag about how the US has less taxes than other countries. They fail to realize that other countries actually have some social programs. I’ve been saying that since I filed my first income tax form the same week I visited relatives in Canada in the early 80s. All the Americans at the table were bragging. Not so much these days, although old habits die hard.
@@kellytostada9949 It seems to me and apparently a lot of more expert observers that we are entering the intelligent and able machine era. It is very doubtful that unions are coming back because our labor likely is going to be less and less valuable - approaching zero. Machines are even going to be more effective artists, prostitutes, caregivers, CEOs, criminals, scientists - everything. Unions will have nothing to bargain with - machines will be better at violence too, so you can forget that as a bargaining chip.
@@denalindeIt's not about taxes as much as it's about wasting tax money.
You actually get value for your money in some countries.
come to Canada and see how expensive it is. i only make $16.85 h/r
I am in my late seventies living on SS of 828./ month. My little 300 sq. ft cabin is now
mortgage free and I raise a garden and have the knowledge to can and eat what I grow. I've been a long time prepper before the word prepper was used. I am not fearful of the future but realistic. I thank God for what I have and the knowledge and ability to go forward and helping those that I can along the way. I won't go down easily.
You sound awesome. You have the right attitude and drive to make it happen.
God Bless you.
Lord bless ❤
My friend you are rich beyond imagination, you have become free and GOD has blessed you.
Start a RUclips channel teaching people how to can food how to grow food
Look around people wake up. Prices have gone up astronomically. No one can afford to live .
Rent $1500 car, $400 insurance ,$200 lights ,$200 food, $800 (family of 5) ,gas $400 month min. And so on and so on . No one can make it
All these lay offs all over . Businesses shuddering
Your only paying 1500 for rent ..thats a DEAL in this economy
$1500 in rent? I was paying $3700 in rent in denver.
Depression by decembber
Don’t forget about the world at war, too. God speed!
Why December?
Thomas Jefferson warned of this... something about allowing a central bank and one day waking up homeless and penniless.
Yup
Actually, he said your children would wake up homeless and penniless in the country their parents built
My 19 year old grandson worked and saved his money so he could go to school and live on his own. After one semester he knew he couldnt afford school. He's been working to pay rent. His mom and dad help out some financially. He picks up my groceries once a month and i help with food and snacks. When his apartment lease is up in August he's moving back home. At home he will find a job in the small town his Mom and Dad moved to and save for next year. I love that kid so much for his hard work.
I did the same thing at 19. Thankfully it was 30 years ago & I could afford University for 2 semesters before I’d added another job & gone part time til I finished. We had a very decent local engineering university that allowed me to go without becoming a matriculated student for a couple years which meant I could take as many or as few classes as I could afford each semester. I finished up years later when I worked at a college & only had to pay for books.
Your grandson sounds great. 💜
Tell him to try Trade Schools - HVAC, Welding, Plumbing, Electrical and the like. He will leave school in under 18 months earning six figures, not OWING it. Check out Mike Rowe Foundation on-line.
@@louisewilliams1258 I know. He wants to do anything that has to do with sports. I've thought your thoughts.
My grandson is in the same boat.
Did he have a roommate? The young adults here insist they want to live by themselves but complain they can't afford it. I couldn't even afford that back in 1985 with a decent job and had to have a roommate. I also ate every meal at home, didn't go shopping all the time and only bought the essentials.
Blame the career crooks in DC.
Corporate greed is the problem
Robert Kiyosaki said, “Anyone with access to a computer and the internet with half a brain should not be poor.” Educate yourself financially. Think differently.
And the laws that allow unrestricted lobbying without term limits. The fact that I still recognize many of them decades later is disturbing.
Dims & RINOS
@@Phxshadowz I'm sure you don't realize this, but what you're saying "it's corporate greed" was historically a communist propaganda talking point. The main issues are the politicians spending money, and bad government policies making tings worse.
I live on 850 a month. I,m going down and for the first time in my life, I don't know what to do. I try and work part time, but i,m 63 and my health is what it is. I,m afraid I will be homeless, but whats worse is my health. I don't know man, thank for listening

I work in a local school and looking at the future of America...boy am I scared!
I did some substituting for two months this last school year, for the first time after having subbed for a few yrs consecutively right up to CV lockdowns. If our society were a wooden building, I'd compared our high school students to termites. I'm not knocking them, like I don't knock fish for only thinking in terms of water: but... there's only a handful of ways this situation is going.
I've been a gardener for over 40 years. I was an urban police officer, who on a particular day responded on a call for help from another police officer and when I and other officers arrived, that officer had been killed. Fast forward - gardening offered a place of solitude (a sanctuary) and peace and food to put on the table. That solitude offers you a place to work things out in your head and heart. Today, I encourage everyone I speak with to grow something. I usually start with giving them a package of radish seeds. Anyone can grow radishes. Once they realize they can grow vegetables, then I help them plan, prepare and plant their next year's garden. They are always grateful to have been introduced to their very own special place. MY GARDEN. Start now, ask a gardener. They will be more than willing to help you learn so that they will be able to teach someone else. Keep on prepping!
I'm 66 with very limited income and health problems. I don't have cable, don't eat out but order pizza once in a blue moon, clothes are falling apart. No vacations, car is 14 years old and no family whatsoever.
I pray for you and your situation changes.
@@samdorchester2524Thank you for your prayers. They are very much appreciated. I'm thinking about a roommate. I'm sure I am not the only one facing such challenges.
I am 62, with a 19yr old car. Its not so bad. Shopping at 2nd hand stores, and using flyers or coupons. Wait till the rest of the 95% go nuts; we will be ok. Hang on Cindy, its good training for us.
Dont worry they have a special program that is "MAID" for your kind
@Darthdoodoo Sorry but I don't understand your reply.
Disturbing to hear that people are earning good wages in the USA but are still struggling. Imagine what millions of poor people are going through. Similar in Britain.
Americans think they're struggling if they can't go out to eat several times a week. Don't be too disturbed.
@@kerrynight3271 well its true that we in the western world do live better than many in the 3rd world. But it could also be looked at as relative. If a flat costs 2000 dollars to rent then you need a good wage to afford it. In England where I live a small 1 bed flat can cost 1000 pounds per month. And that's without all the utility bills and food. But many people only earn about 12 pounds per hour. And the cost of living is rising but wages are not, except for the few.
We do not go out to eat several times a week.
Poor people get food stamps, free Healthcare, free childcare & free housing. Poor people are fine. It's the middle class that suffers.
@@TyrannicalRUclipsYes many of the poor people on food stamps are doing better than the middle class, especially when they have their side job selling drugs for cash which is tax free & doesn’t need to be reported to Foodstamp office.
We have our house paid off, but every year our property taxes keep getting higher and higher
It's not your house if you have to pay property tax
@@midragga so you gonna pave your own roads and expect everyone to go to private school?
@@Iqueyno, he's saying you don't own something if it can legally be forcefully taken from you. I'm not against taxes by the way, but they have a point.
This is not fair for seniors who can’t work

Your health and physical fitness is your most important asset. No amount of prepping will save you in an emergency if your body is not physically able to perform or adapt. Thank you for your videos.
my son and his wife live with my wife and I , with the cost of living going up more and more it takes a group to work together to make it through the life we have today. My wife and sons wife do the garden set up and we all help with the canning and processing of the wild game that we all hunt, planting berry plants and fruit trees together as a family makes us more cohesive as a family and partners in the life we live. I will agree when I finished High school I joined the military and spent 4 years learning a skill set and a work ethic that has carried over to my job now , I passed on the work ethic to my son and the Boy scouts helped cement the do your best everyday attitude . my son made Eagle Scout 2019 and it was one of the greatest days of my life and I see the man that he has become today. And I an Proud.
Very cool to hear
So your purpose of this rant was to self-promote, not to add anything of value.
@@ChatGPT1111 You can leave the chat box now.
Fyi (just so that people will know what you are talking about). It isn't called the Boy Scouts anymore-its called Scouting America
As a fellow Eagle Scout, congrats to your son! The values I learned inform my life every single day, and I pray it does for your son too.
I started out with nothing and I still have most of it...😂❤😂... Happy mother's day to all the mother's...
All I can say is that it is gonna get worse before it gets better.
Unfortunately, the economy will get worse before it gets worse...
The question is will it get better?
@@donnaemslie5729 Unfortunately not anytime soon. They told us about the "Great reset" which means we go back to bottom and start over. I wish I could give a more uplifting answer, but the truth will serve you better. Prepping just allows us time to hopefully make wise decisions in the future.
@@donnaemslie5729 No, not for decades. Prices will not go down so wages will have to go up and that takes along time.
Much much worse
Spent my yesterday planting 6 fruit trees and 12 berry bushes. Gotta long-term plan!
I just planted 4 raspberrys and i hope to get fruits next year, and got apples coming from 2 mature trees rhat were on property when we got it
The best time to plant a tree is ten years ago (when I did). The second best time is today.
Same here and learning to make jelly/jams with the surplus.
We saw greedy landlords in Idaho raise rent by over 50% when everyone started buying up our real estate out here. Their excuse was that the "value" of their property was higher so they could. charge more. In other words, it was greed. Their mortgage payments hadn't increased...so when we blame everything on the system sometimes that's not exactly correct.
A lot of the problems we face now are as a result of societal decay and stupidity. People wouldn't stop shopping for garbage during the COVID years as it was entertainment and they weren't willing to conserve their money.
I believe you about the greedy landlords but the greedy city/county leaders are usually to blame as well. When the county says your property is worth more, you have to pay more taxes at the end of the year. Last time I called them and said "at the value you claim my house is worth, do you want to buy it from me?"
It is their property. They have a right to charge what they want. If people will pay it, then that's fine. If not, they will lower it. You're basically asking them to deny themselves income to make your life easier. That makes you a communist.
One thing I have always done, even in the “good ol’ days” was hunt and fish. I always shared my good fortune with my neighbours, friends and family. This goodwill has netted me a lot of home made products and free labour in return. It wasn’t a barter exchange, but rather a network. This will be even more important in hard times.
People are going to lose their minds if they are forced to live like a large portion of the population did during the Great Depression
That would be the purge, nothing like back then
Yeah warlord gangs would be formed so fast heads would fly off from spinning. It wont be the evil white nazis breaking doors down either
Maybe. But on the other hand those that remember their history would know that after that depression economic growth would likely improve their lives in the long run.
They won't make it, they have no concept of how to actually produce tangible goods or services, and have lost touch with reality.
@@alphacraig4784a Great Depression in this era would last decades. Our kids would suffer
Happy mothers day all you mothers out there.
Happy Mother’s Day dear.
Happy Mother's Day
don't worry, i told your mom
64, property is paid for. No power, water, Internet, car or debt. Savings are still going down year by year. I grow as much food as possible and I'm lucky that my 3 kids are making it on their own 🤔
It’s because of Evil. It’s always been because of Evil and the Indifference of good people.
its called capitalists and oligarchs (evil, greedy, etc) - we are in the midst of the 2nd gilded age (in the States). All while a new alliance has now overtaken the economic power of the US empire and the G7. This group is called the BRICS+ ... the implications of this matter. Further, we have foolish and inept politicians in office so it is not a good look .
@@Erfan Thats definitely a massive portion of the problem, or a small portion if you consider that group as being maybe 1-5% of the overall population
@@HumanScourgeYTThere are 2 groups in this world, Good vs Evil. It's DEFINITELY not a 95% good vs 5% evil. It's closer to 35% good vs 65% evil. In a diplomatic country where 51% of the vote carries the election, 65% is a very tuff number to beat.
I work at a grocery store and just two days ago my boss saw me crying and she asked why and I told her I had not eaten and she was so sad and so wonderful and she paid for a lunch for me . Please people.... I know it's hard but don't starve yourself because of bills
Grocery stores usually have to dispose expired food. Some of it, not all, can still be eaten after expiration date. Try to find this food. Stay well.
@@kotenoklelu3471
You're so nice. Even for the suggestion. Thank you 🙏🏼
I hope you seek for a food pantry in your area. Your comment made me so sad.
I remember as a kid getting oranges once a year on Christmas from my church & I looked forward to it so much. We had plenty of food via fishing, hunting & gardening so I hope people can return to that sort of life. My parents were born at the end of the Depression so prepping & taking care of ourselves was a way of life.
I'm in Ireland and I'm out every day, all day trying to get my garden ready, sowing seeds, planting etc. My husband helps me with filling beds when he comes home from work, unfortunately due to a bad back injury from a car crash over 20 years ago I'm limited in what i can do unfortunately, I'd have way more done if i was completely able bodied. Theres so much to do but I'm getting there
My mom grew up in the forests of Virginia, USA during the 1940’s and 50’s. They farmed, gardened, canned, fished and hunted for survival. At age 6, my mom used to hunt small birds with a BB gun (Robins and Doves). The family ate everything that was brought in. I would love a simpler life.
@@theirishcailin333 Is there a neighbor that would trade labor for some space or harvest? That’s what my grandparents always did once they were too infirm to do it all. Of course us grandkids were free labor. 😀 I detested picking potato bugs off of the plants. Everything else was ok.
@@therookeryvanlife5612 I got my hunting license & own gun at age 12 when I passed the gun safety course. I’d been out hunting for years with my dad & uncle but they only let me actually shoot at clay pigeons until it was legal because my dad was a wildlife officer. I never really had the heart to shoot deer or elk, so I stuck mainly to birds or “rodent” type stuff. We also traded land to a person with bison, so we got one a year in payment. It took up a whole big freezer.
Yes ! Grandma made mittens grandpa had an apple house and sold fruit and vegetables. we all got together, had a big meal as a family, and really enjoyed each other.. cuzins all got to play outside together.
i make 23 an hour in Arkansas. just 5 years ago i would be doing great. 10 years ago i would be doing pretty dang good. i still late on bills regularly now. Energy costs, groceries, taxes everything is going up. Our government is stealing billions of dolllars from us and sending them to other countries that dont deserve it. The for down the rabbit hole i go learning about how screwed up our government is and how evil it is, the more i realize we need a major reset. That will not happen till normal people start physically fighting back. That will only happen when people start starving
Stephen Pidgeon, attorney and CEO of the Cepher, living in Alaska said he feels sorry for the youth because they have inherited a squandered world. Like him or not he is spot on. Since 1991, we grow, buy foods, cook and eat at home. Farmers markets, CSA groups are great too. Community gardens are plentiful in my state in the sunny south. Health is your wealth and without it you have nothing.............. from the Ozarks, drinking fresh spring water since 1991
Excellent and thanks for sharing
I'm in Ireland, we get an odd take away (take out) and rarely eat out. I cook pretty much everything from scratch, it's the way I was brought up and the way I am bringing up my family. My eldest who is 21 has a great head on her shoulders, she even said her and her boyfriend weren't going out for a meal because it's daylight robbery and she'd cook for them herself, I'm delighted she's that way. I have 2 under 9 and they see me cooking and baking everything so thankfully it's the norm for them
@@theirishcailin333 excellent
Love the Ozarks!
@@theirishcailin333Sorry to see Ireland won't be Ireland in 2-3 generations.
I’m a single woman raising my niece. I get ZERO support from her deadbeat dad. We eat simple, live simple, shop secondhand stores….the luxuries are few and I’m STILL barely making it from paycheck to paycheck!! And there’s no reprieve in sight from all this for any of us I’m sure!
Stop expecting support form people who clearly look like they wouldn't give support. That's something you can't control, I would say watch who you have kids with but it's your niece. Don't worry about stuff you can't control, and you can't control people. Only who you're around.
Where’s the mom? Or do you only blame the dad?
@@WalterFelts she has no parental rights. She chose drugs over family😢
@@datnurse5062 so she is a deadbeat mom.
Thank God she has you, and yes the greedy politicians are killing us working folks.
The message from the US, UK, Canadian, Aussie and EU governments is this " Shut up and worker harder, tens of millions of illegals need your taxes for their welfare.
Yeah, they aren't trying to make things better, we have problems, such as housing, and they are making them worse. The worst problem is that new houses aren't even selling, no one can pay for them or the interest, so where are all these people, who will never work, going to live?
It is worse than that. Sending millions of dollars to Israel is not ok. Greed from corporations who pay all politicians in the two,parties is not ok.
The only universal truth is that mass immigration makes everything better. We know this to be true because both sides of the isle say so.
Yep, especially in the UK - Purebred British like my partner and I have to fight for every penny we can get, and it's hopeless; I'm disabled with 2500+ pages of medical evidence and yet PIP is still making me take them to tribunal. Universal Credit deduces some of my partner's wages from my limited capable for work allowance. Meanwhile, Mohammed and his six wives are given every penny that we don't get because they're foreign and are struggling more. And then people wonder how this country got so "racist" and "hateful" - How could we not? We have veterans living on the streets while Middle-Easterns know they can come to this country and scrounge every penny.
And the anti semite has stepped up and shown us they are here@@miranduri
In my humble opinion, it goes back to one basic but unfortunate fact. "The love of money is the root of all evil".
it really does boil down to money at this point, and the fact that a small group control most of it and will do whatever it takes to push you out of the way.
Exactly
This is so flipping true 💯💯💯
Money is for sure one of the worst invention ever.
The love of money is a root of all sorts of evil.
It doesn't matter what we do. Everything is costing more and more and we are falling behind. It is all by design.
Our forefather starting slitting throats for a 2% tax raise on tea. Now we see a 7% sales tax, an average 14.9% federal income tax, 6.2% tax rate from SS, 1.45% tax for Medicare, 2.66% state income tax. That’s over 32% total tax rate in my state. This does not count registering, inspecting and insuring your vehicle as well as the tax to OWN a vehicle newer than 15 years old. All in all you’re looking at over 40% of your yearly income going to taxes
You also don't get anything in return. Look at our infrastructure. It is falling apart.
dont forget the ever restricting laws.
One of the things I firmly believe that needs to be handed down, aside from gardening, is the ability to store that food long term. Canning and other preservation techniques were always an interesting thing to do with my elders while growing up. It’s becoming a lost skill.
And everyone must have a freezer. I will take a good freezer over a diamond ring any day of the week. Buy on sale and stock up on store clearances.
An older man once told me that if you live like the depression has already happened then youll avoid the depression.
That’s impossible in this economy.
@@Wewillbeokay8 do you have cable?
@@john200871 no
Well then, good luck and keep living frugal. Think about how much less you'd have if you weren't already living a depressionary lifestyle
@@john200871 oh don’t I know it! It’s tough but we get by. I became disabled this year and can’t work. My husband is trying so hard to keep us afloat. In this economy it’s a real struggle but we live as frugal as possible. Even shop for clothes at the local thrift store.
This world has lost its mind.
Also I’ll never go out to eat again after today’s Mother’s Day brunch. $110 for just my mother and I. I’ve had enough.
I’m sick of trying to prove to some family members I’m good enough for them. I’ll save my money and do stuff for myself. My mom’s the only one I’ll do things for from now on.
That 110$ could have bought 11 rib eye steaks! Yum!
My husband and son wanted to take me out to eat. I asked for a home dinner instead, cooking my favorite meals. I agree, going out to eat is too expensive and it isn’t the “treat” it used to be. God bless you.
Took my youngest out to a late lunch at a local restaurant. It was $108, and we didn’t choose the most expensive items. Good thing that I don’t do this very often. I saved all the leftovers to eat for the next few days.
My family decided 2 decades ago that Mothers Day is a family brunch at home. My kids were little then and was hard enough to get them to behave at church, let alone brunch out in a crowded restaurant. So, Mother’s Day was spent at home. The littles are in their own environment (less stress) and the adults aren’t rushed. Some years we’ve brought food in, but even now, spending $$$ for a quiche that I can make for pennies makes no sense. So, we just set out the fine china, make a few simple dishes and pop a bottle of Cooks champagne and celebrate with cards and small gifts (like soaps!). It’s easy, peasy, quiet, and when we’re done, everyone goes down for a Sunday nap. PERFECT.
My mom, my niece and me all went out for lunch the Saturday before Mother's Day. It was $140 for the 3 of us for Mexican food with 3 frozen margaritas. No more going out to eat.
I'm a mechanic, I make 4X the federal wage. I work 40 hrs. At my main job there is no overtime. I do multiple side jobs and now Working part time saturday's at another shop. I am just breaking even.
I'm not trying to pick you apart, but you're obviously doing something wrong if what you claim is true.
Got into debt above your means or something.
My advice is find a good woman who has a good job and split the bills
My cousin started out that way. He married a smart woman who budgeted well. They lived off the 40 hr paycheck, and banked all the side jobs. Those guys lived tight tight. Set your goals higher and your wants lower. The opposite of wealth is debt. Hes the millionaire next door now.
Here in Miami , a mechanic makes more than $110k a year , if you add extra work you will make around$180k ..I know mechanics with more than 5 properties... You better check your expenses.
Happy Mothers day to all 💐
2 sayings I think about a lot are "Hope for the best, Prepare for the worst" and "Better to have it (insert any prep item/skill here) and not need it than need it and not have it". Thanks for the encouraging videos!
We have had to help our grown kids a lot. One daughter, her husband, and 3 children moved into our guest house in 2022 and are trying to save up money to buy a house, but it is hard.
My husband and I are both retired, and have the ability to be mostly self sufficient on our 3 acres. We just about never eat out, nor go on vacations. Thankfully we have zero debt of any kind. Credit card interest rates are killing people's finances. I don't know what is going to happen when the bulk of society declared bankruptcy at the same time.
The best measure of manhood is how safe other people feel around you.

Thank you so much for bringing up the concept of true manhood. People are so afraid to talk about how to be a real man with courage, kindness and integrity. Many won't say it, but I'll say it here: men and women are each unique in their own God- given ways and they always will be. It's by design. Period. Thank you!
Duh!
Community! As someone who gardens and has not only a food garden but also pollinator gardens, native plants, and promoting biodiversity in my yard (no herbicides or pesticides) one thing that helps is having neighbors that don’t use pesticides and who don’t complain about the fact my yard isn’t all plain non-native turf grass. I share my garden skills and knowledge with all who ask, and I share my seeds and food with anyone near me who wants some. As S is now starting to HTF I put out a food table and put up a sign offering to help others grow.
Industrial Society is collapsing in real time.
Industrial society would be fine in the absence of government and central banking.
We don’t make much anymore. Most factories are actually foreign owned.

@@VoluntaryPlanetexactly. Industrialization and technological advances are good things, but they should serve to make the average person’s life easier.
Instead, we work just as long and hard as ever, and are more efficient than ever due to said technological advances, but are seeing very little of the increased profits. What we do get is then further skimmed with taxes and inflation.
Yes, it is, and it's been way less fun than Hollywood promised it would be.
Happy mother's day to all the mom's ❤❤ all around the world. Thank you Chris
Inflation is theft. Avoid debt at all cost. Its like putting out a fire with gasoline. Rents, and insurance and food are one of the biggest problems. Every has escalated in cost far faster than salaries and compensation and that is at the core of the problem.
My son at 18 moved out and was working two fulltime minimum wage jobs to afford rent on a tiny apartment. He still had to ask me for help with food. After three months he threw in the towel and moved in with room mates. He said he can now work onlyone job and still has money left over after buying food and paying his cell phone bill each month. He walks to work in a small town. He is still only 18, but that was a hard life lesson to learn so early in life.
Hard life lesson but a good one; reality is hard. Wishing him the best, sounds like a smart young man.
Should be able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment when working full time if not people will stop working

Prices are super crazy right now. So are taxes and fees. Ridiculous. But I've found most people are living beyond their means which is making it harder to "make it" these days. Here are some things we've learned along the way to stay out of debt - Be a producer - not a consumer. Focus on non-monentary income. What items can you make instead of buy? Especially food. Make your own food as often as you can. It doesn't have to be fancy or complicated. Do you really need a $600 phone? Small expenses add up! Drop non-essential monthly payments - online music, games, movies,.. Amazon prime is a rip off! You can still get free shipping without it. Speaking of Amazon, leave stuff in your cart for a week before you buy it. A lot of times you'll find you don't really need it. Stop making car payments! Buy a cheap used car. Use cash not cards. Stop buying coffee drinks - they are mostly milk and cheap syrup. Same with alcohol. Make your own drinks at home! SO much cheaper! Shop thrift stores and garage sales for clothes.
Speaking from personal experience, I evaluated every penny I was spending and found I was the problem. I made enough money I just wasn't allocating properly. My suggestion is to take a painful look at your spending, a real, very, painful look and see if there's anything you can do to lower your expenses. I got a receipt for everything, I started growing my own food, I got a smart thermostat and wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants in the winter so I could keep the temperature at 68 instead of 70. I walk when I'm able instead of driving. The hardest part was acknowledging what I can't change. I can't change the price of an item, but I can choose how and when I spend my money. I hope this is helpful.
You should work in DC
I've worked on this a ton and it's been very eye opening!! We are still able to live a one income lifestyle by taking the hard looks. And having hubby home gives us the ability to really grow a huge productive garden! Where there is a will there is often a way.
Be aware for toxic shame & blame, especially people in precaire situations, like my 75 year neighbour!
Social workers, gaslighted that he wasnt doeing his best, what made him severe depressed and got in a freeze mode, making everything worst than better!
Because i was at his place when the social worker visited him and still not believe they treat him like that in The Netherlands
If i didnt hear it myself, i wouldnt believe it myself!
That is very disheartening indeed. It’s hard to understand a person who chooses to be a social worker lacks compassion for people who so desperately need help! That social worker may have started her career with the best intentions but after years of seeing & dealing with so much physical & emotional chaos, even the strongest case workers become hardened & jaded. Add ing to the depression is the fact that they are being paid the lowest salaries of any degree required career. It’s awful but sadly that’s no excuse to treat people so badly.

I worked as a hospital viccar in an psychiatric hospital for a short while, and asked myself, how it is possible to recover there! Ice cold white, on the closed units, they get no more than 20 min outside if there was enough staff and didnt rain!
The whole day watching Tv, smoking & coffee, Yes therapy was only 1 1/2 a day, mostly things i did at Kindergarten, some girls /women liked, the boys/ man hated it. Told me about it, but where afraid to talk about it with the staff ( punishment, builling)

Capitalism allowed to rampage results with the rich getting richer & everyone else getting poorer.
I feel for all struggling out there. One thing to do is LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS. I have had to years ago cancel cable, landline, movie subscriptions, bring home lunch every day and shop weekly and plan it out. It can be done.
😀
These are all very good things to do to cut costs, but many people can’t pay their rent. Cutting out cable is not going to help them. Many of the comments here are from people living on $1,000- $1,500 per month. My heart breaks for them.
It can be done for a while. When prices continue to rise and your wages don't while company profits continue to rise, and there isn't enough time in a day for another job, well, at that point, it isn't sustainable. Frugality isn't an end all be all. Sometimes, at some point, the ends still won't meet.
No one wants to hear "LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS" - they think everything should be cheap/free and minimum skills should earn top dollar. Welcome to the free market economy.
@@AngelaPickles1929living on that OR LESS.
I’m a single mom who works from home, homeschools my autistic daughter, and BARELY makes ends meet. And sometimes not in the same month. 😂
I’m grateful for the warmer months just so we can have our gardens back. My daughter is also returning to school so I can work more and her lunch is prepared by the school. It’s wild! And I consider myself extremely lucky because I still have a roof over my head, food in the pantry, and friends/family nearby. For many, life is much harder than mine. If it weren’t for your channel and the learning/prepping I’ve done over the years, my anxiety would be much more severe than it already is!
Just a friendly reminder...we the people have failed ourselves...we hold the real power, we have the numbers...what we doing!?
As a mother and scout leader, thank you for defending scouting. Those not involved don't know how great it really is and how it helps young men learn skills and life lessons no available.

Wow, God bless you and your family.
40% cut?
Damn...I'd be p!ssed
I’ve been saying it for years now: You have to follow the 3 L’s- Learn to live with less. I just buy the basics when it comes to food. I’ve cancelled all my subscriptions, except internet, I don’t drive anywhere unless I absolutely have to and I combine all trips into one. I also work as many hours as I can and save that extra money. It’s only going to get worse, a whole lot worse, so now is the time to prepare. Actually yesterday was the time but that time has passed.
This is exactly what the WEF wants of us! Their 2030 agenda is "You will own nothing and be happy!"
Sometimes people do all those things and still cannot make ends meet, our government and the mega-corporations destroying the dollar and our economy and thus the country are to blame and while yes, people can live within their means, these days that doesn’t guarantee security
Yes, we do all those things. And still can't make ends meet. Also, have a very ill child. Any "extra" goes to be able to help him.
I've been doing the same for 4 + years. Laid off every winter for the past 4ys, savings gone, changed career this year after 30+ at the last one. Layoffs aren't sessional
If Americans could learn to sacrifice a little bit of privacy and space, we can do as other cultures that have several generations under one roof. Everyone contributes to the household. The grandparents watch the kids to save on daycare and sometimes cook the meals. The parents and older children work to share financial responsibilities.
The rich and well off people who say things are doing well or better than ever before remind me of the rich and nobility of France before the revolution. They live in a bubble.

“Even if you have nothing, you still have something to give.” So beautiful. And I agree when you speak about connecting with people. I agreed to marry my fiancé for one reason being that he demanded me look him in the eyes when speaking to him. And he loved that I was so nice to him. So it feels good to be myself and with someone who has value in himself and sees it in me. Praise God. Even if we don’t have much, we have something, indeed.
I really wish we supported men more here. You were right about that too!
The best advice I ever received was to ask myself three questions before purchasing ANYthing... Do I really want it? Do I really need it? Can I really aford it (Do I have the money in my pocket to pay for it)?
These questions have kept us debt free, having a good life by social standards and not worrying about our future. Do not live your life to please others. Do good for yourself and yours so as not to fall a victim of today's dead society.
Well the problem is many ppl already have cut down everything unnecessary and still lose more money then they earn.
Good advice because debt makes you feel richer than what you are.
@@mrnice4434Oh, one of my sisters is a true example of that. She lives in a great city in the US, has made lots of money and still owns nothing. The system owns her. She did not set her priorities with a future vision.
I live in a third world country were everybody wants to go for vacation, but even since I was little I never cared a pickle about other people's standards. My grandparents were patient teachers of living a sensible and frugal life, enjoying the fruits of your labor wisely. Have I splurged sometimes? Sure have. It was my splurge money. Other times I save and save until I can get what I want from my "needs" money.
The problem is that that people have a distorted view of happiness. Real happiness comes from within, and that means sometimes you can do without and it's ok.
Yes!
One thing can stop a lot of people to know do I really need or just want it, is use cash. It’s much different seeing your cash leave your hands, then a debit card or credit card.
Think about it over night, many times a person decides that they just wanted it and they don’t purchase.
people don't control their spending and worse yet have no reserves. It takes discipline to limit spending, drive an older car, smaller apt/house don't eat out, knock off the fancy vacations for instance because things happen like medical bills that can't be controlled etc. It takes effort but if you budget and shop deals it can be done and you will sleep much much better. You wont be keeping up with the Jones but you will be in better off.
My vacations consisted of taking the wife and kids to visit the grandparents on my days off. I took vacation days for appointments and family events not vacations. At least when I was in the ARMY every day was a holiday and every meal a banquet. So there was that. 😂
Budget isn't the sole issue, it's the fact the essentials are substantially more expensive and wages are not going up proportionality.

@@kellyalger2394Agreed. Even with no frills, driving cars that are nearly 20 years old, living in a home that is absolutely not beyond our means, not eating out, meal planning and gardening, we, and many others are barely able to cover the basics.

Wonderful sentiment about men setting a good example for one another. Also regarding building bridges to connect with others versus splitting hairs. Inspiring video, Kris.
I call bullshit on a lot of these cases. "I can barely afford groceries!" as they load it into their paper plated 110k ford raptor. Most people are terrible with money.
A lot of people are bad with money. But the dollar is being devalued, and it is becoming more difficult to afford even the most basic of things.
Hi from Ireland. I'm a bit shocked at the amount of people saying eat at home which leaves me extremely shocked to think that people eat out all the time!! I have a well stocked pantry, i cook pretty much everything from scratch, make sauces and freeze them etc. If i find beef/chicken reduced i buy a lot and vacuum seal which is brilliant. We dont have coupons here unfortunately, well not like out there!! I also bake - brown bread, white bread and even though its absolutely devoured its nothing compared to our delicious white bread we can get here!! I also bake cinnamon rolls, buns/muffins, tray bakes, cookies (make them up, freeze them and pull out and bake, all these baked goods are treats and most certainly not a daily option 😅 food has dramatically risen in price here so has fuel etc. I dont do a weekly shop really, just pick up fresh veg, milk etc because I'm so well stocked. A friend recently told me she spends over around €300 per week on 2 adults and 2 small children and thats no meat!

Carry as little insurance as you can. You'll likely never see benefit from homeowner's insurance. The insurance companies will always find a way to deny your claim anyway.

Was just notified that our house insurance has gone up an additional $800.00. No claims just boom. So now after being with the same company for over 20 years I have to shop, shop shop for a new company only to have them do that to me again.
Yes insurance is what’s draining everyone. They claim it’s “because of climate change”, but actually the CEOs are taking massive bonuses.
How are taxes not your biggest expense?
I come from PR and wages there are awful; everything is so expensive in PR; we lived middle poor back home. When my husband and I moved to the mainland back in 2011, my husband and still lived like paupers. I was earning 40k and my husband did not work for 5 months until he was able to find his current job.
It took us 11 yrs before we were able to be debt free, right now we don’t even a mortgage. We STILL live WAY below our means, and our household income is 130k.
Back in 2017, we started following Dave Ramsey’s advice. It was still hard for us living even MORE below our means, but in the end it was sooooooo worth it.
We have two little kids, early 40s and now we are just saving $$$ for the upcoming financial decline.
It just breaks my heart that people are struggling financially. Finances really needs to make a comeback into High School.
I live in Cape Town, South Africa. Here food prices have gone up almost triple in 4 years. I have a veggie garden and have learned a lot from when I started. I have 1 patch that is going to be a permanent survival sweet potato patch. I am planning a second survival patch as well. I am also going to catch rain water once my hybrid solar system is up and running. My front yard I am turning into a food forest. I exercise with weights 3 times a week, lost 14kg. Chickens or rabbits are also on my future list.
I recommend multi generational housing. It helps both the young and the old and us in between. Its completely normal and what most of the world does.
Agreed.
I was a Scout Master and Assistant (mostly due to having to travel) and both of my boys (now in their 30's) are Eagle Scouts. Unfortunately, the BSA has deteriorated. If you have a good troop, it's because the adult leadership is choosing to operate like it's 20 years ago. I agree that it is really important to get your community working together - it's hard to do before it's really obvious that it is necessary... people just tend to keep to themselves and move around so that they don't become naturally rooted in a community.
I think tackling the grocery bill is a good place to start. I also think roommates or selling your home for a multifamily building such as a 2-4 family would be helpful. Your tenants will pay for the mortgage and utilities. If you're a renter with no savings you need a side hustle. If you're older or have health issues reach out to family or religious organizations. I read through many of the comments and people are saying eat at home. I couldn't't agree more. It's not only cheaper but it's healthier. I always mention on channels like this that you need to buy whole chickens and make bone broth from it. Utilize food extenders like pasta and rice. These items are cheap and go a long way. Make your own bread. I think the channel is Pioneer Kitchen and she had a great bread recipe called peasant bread that I'm actually making as I type this. 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of warm water, 1 tsp each of the following; salt, sugar, and yeast. Butter up a cast iron skillet (I use an 8" skillet) mix the dry ingredients in the skillet then add the water. Mix well. Cover and let rise for 2 hours and beat down. Let it rise another 30 minutes then bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes. This is about 40 cents per loaf. No kneading and can be made in minutes. Get creative folks because it's going to get more challenging.
Thanks for the bread recipe!👍🏿God Bless!
Making your own bread is especially money saving. I bought myself a bread machine from a thrift store and never buy store bought bread anymore. It takes me 5 minutes to gather and measure the ingredients and turn on the machine. Less time and effort than it would take me to run to the store for a $4 loaf of bread. And made using butter or olive oil, rather than soybean oil and other nasty stuff. The aroma of bread baking in the house is a great bonus!
@@hmmm..2733 I know!! I actually love making bread. Peasant bread or using a bread machine is a no fail way to do it.
Sell your house for a 2-4 family multi family building? Are you serious? Who can afford that? Have you looked at the price of multi family buildings and mortgage rates? You seriously think that someone struggling tackling the grocery bill is going to afford buying a multi family property? If you're a renter with no savings you think you can just magically start a side hustle? I own 2 businesses and work my back off and can vouch that it takes quite a bit of money to start anything nowadays.
In our house hold, we made some tough budget cuts with a realistic approach. We let go of things that were not essential to our well being. We are trying to minimize our spending too.
Average cost of a US home in 1961 was about 17K. Indexed for inflation is about 190K now. BUT that was a much smaller home than today. 1100 sq ft versus 2200 now. Every kid gets their own room now. I had to share with a brother from birth to 18. Then moved out on my own. I am 62. Don’t have Netflix, Facebook, Instagram, Apple TV etc. eat at home. My truck is a 78 GMC that I am the second owner of.
Why are so many of you bitching out the woman who makes 34$/hr? What do you know about her and her family's expenses? She may have pricey medications, older parents to care for, or such other expenses... 34$/hr is not enough in our new reality corporate world economy.
If she wanted compassion, she would have helped her case by mentioning any unusual expenses.
She doesn't mention any of that, she doesn't mention anything she's been doing to mitigate it, she looks like she has a nice car which means a car loan, and is someone who gets her coffee and pastry at Starbucks every morning, what would be $300 a month she could cut right there. But yes you're correct, we don't know and assumptions are unfair. It might be in the comments or a prior video.
In some parts of the country that may not be enough.
Hi Chris it has been a long time since I wanted to comment on your channel. As a psychologist with experience in academia, forensics and trauma I can empathize with the comments folks have made on your channel. I have been a prepper when prepping was not practical. My approach is quite simple. I manage my health the same way I manage my finances. I stay frugal in my spending, I stay in shape and meditate everyday. Folks need to stay focused on how they spend, stay fit, and stay focused. Now, with that being noted I imagine that folks will comment that I am not in their same financial situation. The fact is I am I was placed on disability 11 years ago after a horriable accident. I am in my late 60's yet I live a very comfortable lifestyle. I eat once per day (the truth). I do not eat at fast food restrauants. I manage my money as I always have been as when I was working. I eat a power bowl every day, or a salad that's it. My preps are simple, when I go shopping I pick up an extra jar of peanut butter, canned food and always buy fresh vegatables when I want a salad. I believe it's all in a mind set. Moreover, I make and sell jewlery on Etsy and Ebay. I use my mind to create extra income. Your comment on junk food is spot on people need to stay away from that venue for food.----Would love to do a video with you---Dr. JWL
Thanks Kris! All good things to consider. I’d love more videos on how to stretch a dollar! I’m starting to remember things my depression era grand parents would do like washing aluminum foil and hanging it on the clothes line. We’re going to have to get creative. Sharing ideas helps.
Probably my favorite video you’ve ever done! It resonated with me so much! I found myself saying yes sir! Yep! Exactly! All the way through it! And bro I must say your arms are getting huge. Way to go!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve worked at least one fulltime job since age 15, usually multiple jobs. I rented rooms in shared houses until mid-20’s when I graduated and got married. Then it was a dual income family household. I think part of the problem is young single people have unrealistic expectations of quality of life as young adults. Not all of the problem, but def part of it.
As a Veteran I have always tried to stay left of the booming, even if the ultra rich think it is wonderful for them. I suspect that they didn't get light years ahead by being kind and generous, but I may be wrong. However, I must say that being realistic as a philosophy of life is a sound practice that most often leads to staying alive.
Amen! Looking good kris! I've made many health changes in my life. It's comforting that I have my preps in order and now have been able to take care of my health. I'm down 40lbs and starting and teaching these exact things.

There are some preppers who were awesome on RUclips at first and now they are focusing on the world in crisis. You are right, we can't worry about what we can't change. Work on what you can.

I did it all exactly how I was supposed to - graduated high school, got my college degree, got a corporate iob, then married, then kids,.. we still can’t figure out how to afford a house… no car loan, no extras.
Don't be so hard on yourself. Just because one made all the right decisions in life, and worked hard for it, doesn't always guarantee that it will work out in the end. In fact, the majority of the time it never does, or partially does. I also wasted years receiving an education, worked within multiple fields, etc and nothing ever came from it. You just have to try to focus your attention to other areas of life that you have more control over. I think we tend to forget that social classes still exist. We have gone a good two decades being conditioned to think that social class no longer exists. The reason why others may have outperformed you in life may also be due to them having help along the way. Not all of us are born within families with parents who had the money to help their children kickstart their lives. There's nothing wrong with that btw. Once again, don't be too hard on yourself.

I see prepping as a mindset and lifestyle. Imagine living in Florida and a neighbor told you to board up your windows, you would probably say no. You moved to Florida for the sunshine, but if they said a really bad hurricane is coming, board up your windows so your windows aren't broken and rain gets in, you may listen. It requires the bad first, and then the solution or people won't listen. When I hear about something bad, I immediately start thinking of how to overcome what is coming. You can not control a storm, but you can control the temperature in your greenhouse. You can not control the wars or the economic collapse, but you can do things to mitigate the effects of it, provided you have a plan and work on the necessary skills. I find peace in knowing what to do when things go bad because being proactive generates peace, but being reactive contributes to chaos.
The thing that has always amazed me is that people just don't seem to grasp the concept that merely being alive requires "prepping." Setting aside money to pay your bills is prepping, proper hygiene is prepping, regular ongoing maintenance of your car/home/relationships is prepping.
@hottuna7 you are correct. Prepping has been given a bad name because those who are in power don't want people to be prepared so they have to rely on the government.
This is the ONLY mindset that works. Excessive conversation about how to 'stop these elites' is futile. Find out what the plan is and how to survive it. I also find that my mind is clear. I depend on my Creator and I tell Him, 'I've done and am doing all I can do. Lord, the rest is in your hands.' My sleep is peaceful.
