    The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?

      I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.

      45% of Americans do not invest in the stock market because of lack of guidance. Every year you don't invest, you are falling behind.

      Your best option if you are unfamiliar with the markets is to seek advice or help from a consultant or investing coach. I know it sounds simple or generic, but talking to a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. For me, it's the best method to enter the market right now.

    The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 2nd half of 2024 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?

      Very true, you can be passively involved in the markts and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.

    I did my taxes last week, I make $67k a year, I have a teenager- I got almost nothing back. I went from $45k to what I’m at now and the difference in taxes blew my mind. It took that to actually understand how the tax policies truly work. I was technically in the poverty bracket and lived within my means. Now that I’m making more at a different job, I still have to watch finances the way I did when I made less. There’s no difference. I do the 10% of my paycheck to my savings every payday. Now I’m looking at maybe having more taxes deducted from my checks to offset the wack ass taxation Biden allowed. Biden allowed Trump’s tax policies to expire. Democrats are not for the working class, they are the biggest liars. At least republicans tell you how they are going to screw you over with certain policies. I filled my tank, in WA, and have to use premium, $5 a gallon. $65 gave me a full tank. 🙄

    I'm not an economist nor financier, and I definitely agree we're paying more with less for things nowadays. It’s regularly said that, adjusted for inflation, things were far cheaper “back in the day”. But I do wonder if a big part of the reason we have less money now is because we have far more items we spend it on. For instance, back in the day, how much money did our grandparents spend on their cell phone bill, Netflix, and ESPN+ account, cable/satellite/streaming, and internet (not to mention only one TV)? My hunch is zero. Together, I spend close to $400 on those in one month.
    In the 1960s, most households only had one car; one insurance plan, one payment plan, one vehicle to fuel up…..my guess is that most households have more than one car now. Most people didn’t have gym memberships, most people didn’t travel as often or as far (due in large part to families closer to one another), and most parents didn’t sign up their kids to expensive ass travel sports teams.
    Just saying.

When the sex workers on the street were active & business was good & they were in & of it of hotel rooms that meant the city was moving. When the doorman was opening doors & getting tipped the city was moving. When the bartenders were making drinks all night long, keeping people hydrated it meant the city was looking for action & it is going to be a goodnight. When the street promoters & the street hustlers were walking, wheeling & dealing, talking that talk it's like making funk music, the rhythm is exciting & exillerating. It all goes hand & hand.

      As a former cab driver this is true. When there is more discretionary income, people are more willing to take a cab instead of a bus or walk. You get more movement and more fares. I would always remember when it got close to the end of the month, and you would see a dip in fares, as folks would be paying bills.

    I have a fairly decent lifestyle, small business, I own a small house and earn enough money. I have noticed the inflation over the last three years and it’s affected me, but part of my lifestyle is that I spent half the week in Tijuana and usually the exchange rate is very good… But in the last year, the dollar has lost 25% of its purchase power.
    So if the United States is at 21% cumulative inflation over the last three years, I assume that Tijuana is a little bit more… add in the 25% devaluation of the currency, against the Mexican peso and I’m looking at a +46% price difference, but the truth is it’s much more. My tacos cost me double what they cost me three years ago. The taco is a great indicator of inflation, kind of like a cup of coffee in the United States.

Then they changed their minds and raised rates cause it wasn't. Then they said inflation was under control and rate cuts were on the horizon. Now they're floating more hikes. The fed doesn't know what to do. Interest rates and oil have little to no correlation.

    A $7/gallon price is about what I pay in Switzerland, actually a little more, considering the strength of the CH currency. That being said, the average salary in CH is about 20% higher than in the USA...and the commute distances are typically shorter. My kids use public transport daily (public buses, metro, and trains). We even have a bus stop literally at the end of my driveway...so one could theoretically not even need a car. Public transport is exceptional here.
    My job requires plenty of international travel, where I typically take the train to either Geneva or Zurich airports, avoiding an airport drive (and the airport parking garage) when possible. Thank goodness the rest is from the home office.
    With two Mini Cooper's, we fill up the tanks no more than 2 times per month (range ~320 miles per full tank), unless there is weekend/holiday travel. When I had the company hybrid SUV (BMW X3 X-drive M-power) I was filling the tank up only once per month, using the battery for 95% of a daily commute to/from an office.
    Considering how much I travelled Stateside by car (many years ago)...I cannot imagine what a nightmare sky-high gas prices are to a US family that's not deep into a 6-figure income.

    If inflation is hurting the consumer so much, why are so many corporate profits at record highs? Answer: Corporate Greed. Because corporations don't care about the condition of the consumer until it's too late. Bank Of America profits are down due to credit card delinquencies on the rise. Trump tariffs caused the first wave of inflation. Corporations passed the cost on to consumers. If you look at the aggregate PPI over all industries, it has dropped since 2022. Housing? In 2017, 18% of residential rentals were corporate owned. In 2024 it's 51%. Wall Street backed investors are buying up complete tracts of new homes for cash and taking homeownership away from private buyers. Blackstone has destroyed the housing market. The new breed of Robber Barons has taken hold of the US economy. Remember this: When John D. Rockefeller was forced to break-up Standard Oil through anti-trust laws, his fortune grew exponentially. Sometimes regulation needs to be put in place and/or enforced to ensure a healthy economy. Trumps Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was responsible for artificially inflating the stock market AND the housing market putting middle class people out of reach of home ownership and inflating rents. BTW...Trump's Tax cuts expire in 2025. The average us household didn't pay for television until the 1990s. It's a relatively new expense on top of internet access and cell phone bills. Households pay more for these extra expenses that our parents and grandparents never had. the price of "convenience" has become a burden. Electricity natural gas, and phone companies were regulated public utilites that were well maintained and paid investors a regular 10% dividend. It was a perfect investment that outpaced inflation to support "widows and orphans". I suggest you guys study some history so you don't keep sounding like complete idiots. And one more thing. The US has produced more oil than any other country in history in 2024. Why aren't gasoline prices reflective of that? Greed. Gasoline is 13 cents /gallon in Venezuela.
