  • 🔥 Get FREE ACCESS to Real Vision rvtv.io/3Y4t5Pw. How can ordinary people behaving rationally create a generational threat? Raoul Pal, in his role as CEO and co-founder of Global Macro Investor, joins Real Vision to explain the interconnected problem of the everything bubble and the coming retirement crisis to answer the question, “why do we invest?”
    He explains in detail how the baby boomer generation, through the rational and reasonable behavior of seeking to live and retire comfortably, has fueled the creation of a massive financial bubble that touches nearly every corner of the economy as pensions take more and more risk.
    Pal breaks down the crucial demographic, economic, and political trends that have combined to create the problem and suggest potential solutions for Baby Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Xers to get outdoors before the fire of the coming recession. Filmed on February 4, 2020, in Grand Cayman.

I can’t afford to live in the US, my cobra payment was 600 a month , now it will probably be $1400 a month. My home state is Hawaii, totally unaffordable. So I joined my family in Thailand.

      I first learned of economics when i was in England in 1968 and heard that the British Pound had been devalued, and again a year later when I saw a new suit in a French store window for 16,000 O.F. (Old Francs), and 160 N.F. (New Francs), when France also devalued their currency a year later. So I went to work for Wells Fargo Bank in S. F. when I returned, and spent my spare time in their library. We thought there would be a serious shake out in 1978/1979 but the Fed inflated again, and again, and again........ until now we're into the Trillions of dollars of federal debt. Who can imagine a trillion of anything? So I thought, well I'll be dead and buried by the time this thing blows up, but no, I'm still here, storing up food and silver coins, wondering how crazy it will be!

    Ive completely changed my view of investments in the past 5 years and my life. I used to embrace corporate world, was part of it, owned stocks, took dividends, paid high rent, worked long hours, but traded it all in to move from London, own my own property liquid, set up my own business in spain, and moved investments to gold and some into crypto. A HUGE change. I now loathe banks, mistrust the media and politicians, and can see a crash coming which not even my own family can see. I can breath again, with ZERO debt and six figure savings.

      @@joannabusinessaccount7293 I dont know which country you live in. Can you let go of the dreams you once had for yourself, that you think will apply to your kids for the next 50 years? Because its all changed in the 21st ctry. Their dreams and needs may be different to yours. Did yours include a top college, job in a great company, pension fund etc. All i see with that is a hamster in a wheel, as i was, going round and round, and never being able to get off. I would NOT put my kids through an expensive college today. I would not encourage a big city life unless they craved it. Because without a trust fund and property there, they wont make it. They need skills to set up their own business in a place with balance (a small city or large town). And you dont need a degree or blue chip experience to succeed at that. The business will challenge their minds, give them problems to solve, and they will LOVE the power and freedom it gives them. Keep things basic, simple, dilute your expectations, and they will be far happier. Who needs Harvard, i look at my degrees with fondness, but they led me down a stressful, tail chasing, lonely life. Happiness is a simple home with pets and loved ones, and an income you control.

    Can you imagine tens of millions of old people not getting their promised pensions?
    Neither can I, so I believe its obvious the government will step in and guarantee nearly all underfunded pensions by printing money. You think one trillion dollar deficits are bad? Wait til its 3, 4 or 5 trillion a year. The dollar will get destroyed. So yes you will get your $5,000 a month but in 10-20 years that probably won't have but 30-50% the purchasing power it does today.

      Yes I can imagine that. In fact that is what is going to happen. Arnt pensions a state issue? Havent states gone broke already with bailouts including restructuring (cutting) of pensions? The feds might say to the states "Not our problem. Your promises. Your problem. Go restructure". Feds job is stability of the system not printing money to give to profligate ponzi state pensions that have known about their unsustainable trajectory for decades but have been unable to address it because of the main failing of democracy; that everyone votes for free stuff. Feds may help but the pensions wont be bailed out, they cant, it's too much. Its the difference between possible and impossible. Just going to have to face facts at some stage.

    I'm a Gen Xer, single with 13.5 years left before retirement. I have gold and silver holdings but I'm not going into the stock market at all (unless there's a massive crash and stocks fall 50%). I'm just living below my means and saving 65% of my income. I sold my car in 2014 and upgraded my job twice since, doubling my income and tripling my savings. I rarely eat out and only buy food and nothing else. I have enough clothes to last me the rest of my life (besides underwear & shoes). I'm planning to live in a developing warm winter climate country and come back to Canada in the summertime to work then go back to a developing country for winter. I can't afford to live any other way as the Canadian Pension Plan and Old Age Security won't even cover my rent in Canada. I can only imagine it's going to be worse in the next 13.5 years before I'm 65. Even then, I'd like to work part-time for the money and because I like to work, I just hope I'm healthy enough to do so. In many ways I find what we call "developing countries" better than so called developed countries. Sure, we make more money but the taxes, prices, stress isn't worth it for me. I can live a better life in Mexico, Colombia, Portugal, Spain, Montenegro, Georgia, Armenia etc. I just can't do it without the meager government pension.

      Great video, Mr Pal to be frank with you, bitcoin trading is easier
      when you have the Strategies and knowledge.i totally agree with you for trade to be successful depending on the broker ability to trade,and Willingness to invest what will yeid you a better profits in future because am a salary earner . for the past four years now I am always afraid of investing in bitcoin trading since my mother was scammed before she retired. But every 14 to 15 days there's this my best friend who always surprised me with a lot of gifts and I always having in mind that the money she always spend is the Allowance her mom used to send to her for her up keep. It was on August that she gave me the greatest surprise of my life when she brought out a hug amount of money she withdraw from her wallet that she want to buy house, that after our retirement what next,thats when I got the greatest shock of my life. she told me that she has been investing since February then I gave it a try $6,000 from September believe me with the rate and the increase in bitcoin have nothing less than $35,000 in my account now.I don't like talking on this RUclips but I over head investwith_lisarawlings and it reminded me about her thanks

    This is why people want socialism. This flawed form of capitalism which the FED is responsible for creating has created a generation of poor young people who believe socialism is the answer.
    The only thing socialism will do is make them poor and hungry.
    Also it's funny you mentioned the living in your parents basement thing near the end of the video. Doing that seems like the only logical thing for me to do with my $$ because I know that if I move out on my own I'm just taking on a ton of debt in order to be responsible for an asset on the banks balance sheet, and a liability on mine. Living in the basement and paying my family rent helps them save $$ for retirement, and helps me save $$ to use when asset prices are less inflated.
    You are not wrong, living at home is slowly becoming the new norm.

      Raoul has been pretty clear on his views here. Yes there are bubbles. But a unique characteristic to an asset like Bitcoin is that it has network effects. The implications of this are such that, while equities have to return to the mean, BTC returns to a mean that is increasing on scale similar to Metcalfe's law (exponential). Its a really fine point to think about.

    I can attest to those suburban/rural homes nobody can afford in New Jersey. About to turn 37, have been looking to move up from our 1/4 acre, 1,000 sq. ft. home on a busy street (purchased 8/2008) for over 2 years. We have yet to even put a single offer a home. I cannot in good conscience pay what these people are asking for these homes, especially when you see the condition they are in and the outrageous cost of the property taxes. Sorry, but $550k-$650k for 1/8 to 1 acre with a 2,000-3,000 sq. ft. house that hasn't had anything maintained, updated or replaced in the past 30 years coupled with at least $1,000/month+ in property taxes (which can't be deducted anymore) is absolutely absurd. We would be house poor with nothing left to make repairs & updates, most of which would be done with my own labor. God forbid anything went wrong. The thought of gutting another home and getting almost no return (other than pride) on my blood and sweat turns my stomach.
    And, it's not like we're middle of the pack millenials (I prefer Xennials.) We have over $120k in cash savings, about $140k in home equity, $200k in retirement savings (riding that SPY & AMZN wave), a public pension w/ diamond encrusted platinum health benefits ($500 annual max out of pocket) and an annual income that varies from $150k-$250k annually. Student loans are paid off. Credit Card balance gets paid in full every month. Only consumer debt is about $25k on an auto loan at 0% interest. If we can't do it, WHO THE HELL CAN??

    I dont understand why people prefer sunshine places like Miami, I live in the tropical and I hate the heat, like 31c day long and even in the night so hot. I lived in Germany for 2 years and loved every moment, 6 months winter, less than a month summer, the dream!

      31c? What's that in American? I made a sacred vow when I was on guard duty at -13F, to never be cold again.

      So true. The boomer hippies only had to put up with legacy of the World War 2 generation and the Punk generation. GenX got it sooooo tough!
