    • Compounding interest is indeed a fascinating and powerful concept when it comes to investing. In simple terms, it means earning interest on both your original investment and the accumulated interest over time. The longer you leave your money invested, the more it can grow exponentially.

There’s a very troubling trend in the US where increasingly elderly people are having to work mainly because of their high health care costs but also because they rent and don’t own a home. This model needs to be resisted at all costs, very bad for any society.

  • Yes i worked this out some years ago. The big difference now to the old feudal system, is that this system is more widespread, more stratified. When hundreds of thousands of people are motivated to make passive incomes, the competition for unearned wealth is greater too. Who provides this passive wealth? In this stratified system, wealth gets extracted from the level just below itself. Poverty stress has now been created, innequality is at its greatest, and those at the top of the stratosphere rake in from the levels beneath them because they started with the most wealth in money to invest and assets to borrow on. This stratified economic system in the Uk, is compressing the life out of individuals and communities,affecting health and life quality negatively.I am hoping that we can find a better way going forward.❤

  • Ok I'm no economist or political scientist, but this is the best articulation of what I've been unable to say about reasons for supporting economic "socialism" in a modern commercial world. Redistribution of wealth, to me, is good for the economy. It's bad for the super rich, but not the economy: WE are the economy. Taxing the rich gets called a "redistribution of wealth", but it's a recirculation of useful money that's sitting doing nothing. If we release that money back into the economy, a great deal of it would end up where it started, with the rich. But it would do a lot of work before it got back there. Money is the lifeblood of an economy and the system is sclerotic: the heart of our economy is clogged and the body, British industries, gets weaker everyday. Anyone with a job can feel it in their workplace. We need a defibrillation.

So basically, my standard of living as a senior manager today is the same as it was 6 years back as a senior analyst. Think then about all people who i) are not in high-paying jobs (so its not about rent growing from 20 to 35% of income, but maybe from 35% to 60%), ii) and/ or did not have the same luck to get promoted at least few times (so their purchasing power does no stay annoying flat despite promotions, but actually shrunk by 50% or more in few years)...

For most fair redistribution of wealth would mean be able to buy a house and pay it down, go to restaurant every week for a date and do not have to worry daily about money. Not more. Who would feel it more is the government who effectively needs to get a big chunk of that money back again and use them wisely to ensure education is affordable and quality, healthcare is available to everyone etc. The regular people wont have soo much money they would have troubles managing it ( apart from the individuals overmotivated by fraudsters like Grant Cardone whose financial education is coming out of anecdotes rather than reality ). Most people will simply have a quality life where they dont struggle financially, but not much more. And thats okay, thats actually what we all need.

So far I have been able to create a small portfolio (there is more to do), but I can 100% see that this is only going to get harder for younger people who will spend more of their income on housing costs. This is why Gary’s message is so important. Everyone should have a chance to create their own financial security. We should not have to work until we die!

I have lived in the UK for 35 years, yet when I go on holiday for 2 weeks and come back here, I am asked multiple questions at the border (airport) about where I have been and why, am usually asked when I first came to the UK (even though they obviously have this data on their computer), have to provide my fingerprint on a scanner, etc. When I had my wallet stolen on holiday abroad once, which had my UK biometric residence permit in it (BRP), I was then stuck abroad for nearly 2 months and had to apply for a temporary UK entry visa costing several hundred euros to come back home to the UK, despite having lived here all my adult life. If a family member just wants to visit me in the UK they have to go through a lengthy visa process with the British Embassy, including providing proof of employment and home ownership in their home country, provide certified bank statements, etc and pay visa fees. Even then, there is no guarantee their visa request will be accepted. People like you (UK citizens) who can just decide to hop on a cheap flight to Spain tomorrow morning, no visa or anything else required, really have no idea how lucky you are and that you have a freedom to travel and move around the world easily that billions of people do not have, especially if they happen to have been born in a developing country.

    • I think FIRE is kind of a silly life hack, not a serious force for social change. FIRE works well for those tho achieve it, but it doesn't bring us towards a more just economy. They're just gaming the current system. We should all get a share of the surplus we are able to produce as a society (e.g. own a share of the wealth), not merely try to speedrun working life and retire as soon as possible. FIRE is too individualistic and too focused on retirement, basically. I think it's more healthy for an economy to have healthy and happy workforce with a good work life balance. Having an economy where healthy middle aged people retire while the young work even harder to compensate is a bit lopsided, I think. Sure, the total volume of work can go down, but early retirement will still cause a potentially risky generational split, and it's not obviosu to me that retirement is objectively better for the individual than working life, either, so working to push the retirement age downwards isn't inherently good. It's good to work in many ways.

    • The robber barons of the industrial era have been replaced, in the era of financial capital, by the large investment banksters. Wall Street institutions. The question that arises is how a progressive state should deal with this destructive influence. It is clear that speculative behaviour in international financhel trading of the derivatives markets have damaged the prospects of workers. It is more obvious to us now, when the system comes unstuck through the complexity of these transactions and risk, real economies across the globe suffer. The consequences have been devastating in terms of lost employment, income and wealth of the majority. While it is also clear that they have made a small number of people fabulously wealthy. 2008 was a global consequence of these financial flows of wealth shuffling speculative transactions which have nothing to do the facilitation of trade in real goods and services. Engineered speculative bubbles burst. Why should everyday people put up with this behaviour.

If every school mandated each pupil to have an investment account like a JISA and invest whatever their family could afford each month (£10-50 per month), then by the time young people leave schools they would have a bit of money saved for uni / house deposit and understand how passive income and compounding works. It also baffles me that the UK does not have a sovereign fund like Norway, Singapore despite politicians wanting to emulate those economies. Finally I think people should be encouraged to think about things they purchase in terms of assets (generates money) and liabilities (loses money). The more awareness of how finance and money works the better. So thanks Gary for teaching us about this.

  • Wealth comes down to ownership of assets and passive income which comes from the ownership. Reducing inequality in the ownership of such assets (be those private or public owned assets) will allow more people to have much more passive income. This will in result give the public more purchasing power above the fundamental living costs, to either buy goods, services or assets which may increase the wealth flows. Ideas like this will solve many of the countless crises we are seeing affecting the general populations of societies, but not the rich super elites.

People want to earn unearned income through ownership of assets as this has greater returns than traditional labour. Unfortunately we have to take on greater amounts of debt than the previous generation in order to participate in the asset class. Mortgages unlikely to go down as this is less money for the banks to earn on interest payments. Passive income from wealth is sustained by extracting money from the real economy.

The rent to rent business (usually one or two individuals) will pay the btl landlord a years rent up front so they can rent out each room individually for a profit and cashflow. The landlord then pays more interest back to the bank or uses the 1 years rent for another deposit on another property. Either way the banks get richer and the renters are faced with extortionate rents.

These people can't afford deposits to buy a house and end up paying rent more than a mortgage would be and end up in a never ending loop.

I’m good at looking after people- But there’s no money in it! Not a lot of money in traditional ‘women’s’ jobs really bc we are so undervalued.

    • But it isn’t going to be solved by teaching kids stuff. We can’t all become investment gurus simply because most jobs just don’t paid enough to amass capital to buy significant assets. You might say ‘get a better job’ but someone is going to have to be doing those less well paid jobs, and if even more people acquire capital to enable them to buy assets, the price of those assets simply goes up further. So you have to save even more capital (as with house prices). So the only solution is to tax those with very high net worth. That will mean their passive income is restricted which will limit their buying power so asset prices don’t continue to spiral upwards.

    • The long term gilt index is down 42% over the past 5 years and currently pays a yield of 3.9%, far below the yield on most BTL and far below interest on cash or money market funds, currently around 5.2% Yes, you can buy newly issued gilts directly and get 5% or so, but that offers the prospect of capital loss unless held to maturity and no growth in income or capital. Whereas shares provide the potential of both capital growth and income growth as dividends are increased, likewise property provides the potential of capital growth as house prices increase and income growth as rents increase. Of course this is potential reward for potential risk (risk of a house price crash or stock market crash, plus risk of voids, problem tenants, property damage etc with BTL, but the longer the investment period the lower the risk).

    • It's worth thinking about democracy from a money based point of view rather than a ballot based point of view, money as votes. Conditional Basic Income means you have money to spend altruistically, say provided in the form of a 'Congressional Crowd Fund', and every quarter everybody gets an equal cut of the tax revenue to spend in the Crowd Fund. This creates a flat economic society which is by definition democratic, ie everyone has the same vote, votes aren't ballots, they're money. Plotting wealth against population demonstrates a parabolic economic society whose curve indicates different states of equality. Unconditional Basic Income balances inequality by making this curve flat at the bottom, recognising The Economy is The Congress, democratic freedom is the ability to express your demands through those things you want to buy. This is how you achieve equality with diversity. Ballot based democracy leads to strong leadership, where as money based democracy leads to representative decision making, they are both important in modern economic societies. Conditional Basic Income or Flat Economic Democracy or Voting with Money, is an idea you most probably haven't heard about, I've not heard anyone talk about it, it doesn't seem to interest anyone? Can you explain that?

  • The trouble with passive income via a loan is that there are two values to money when you invest; the face value and the risk associated with the loan. If you are borrowing to buy assets, the risk will hit you every 10-15 years or so. To be foolproof on passive income you also need wealth of your own. Without it, you will not survive some of the dips along the way. Better to start small when you are young and build up. A stock ISA started early in life builds both the wealth and passive income over time.

It would seem to be clear that what we all should do is just vote for a party that would tax the wealthy, but I just don’t understand why in New Zealand everybody seems to hate the wealth tax. Politicians seem to be struggling to come up with the right policies to do it. As much as I love to vote for a wealth tax, I just couldn’t because the policy was on any asset over 2 million per person. A grandmother who lives in a house now worth over 2 million with no other income would have to pay tax on a property that she owns and is living in herself. I wonder if this is the real problem, politicians not being able to clearly define ways of taxing the wealthy, especially on assets where the price fluctuates and calculating that. I don’t know what wealth tax policies are in UK, but would love to know from anyone.

  • Hi Gary..love your vlogs and no-nonsense financial musings! It has confirmed so much I’ve thought about the 1%. I worked in a private school for a bit and I physically witnessed the shift in parental ‘types’…a healthy mix of doctors, local businesses men and more on free places in 2002..by 2010, virtually all the dads were brokers, hedgies or wealthy property magnates. I smelt the coffee and paid the mortgage off at double rate while I could and thank goodness I did. Another issue is that historically, a lot of middle class types had an odd attitude to debt and took on a lot to emulate a lifestyle they couldn’t really afford so maybe this is gonna be the era of the wised up working or lower middle class background person made good? 😊❤😊

  • Morning Gary! Nice insight lol I’m sure the landlords will love you for describing them as glorified estate agents but you’re right! Unless you own the property 100% debt free then you’re not the real asset owner ! An idea for a video, given your background is in trading, I think you will have a really good insight and unique perception on RISK. Could you do a video on how you view RISK and how this could be applied. Taxing the Rich is one way to get the assets back, but there are others as well.

    • Yeah it's a nice insight. Buy-to-let landlords who are paying a mortgage are essentially asset managers for banks.

    • There’s often a balance between life and wealth. Those who have increased their wealth with no inheritance will have sacrificed their time and maybe other things to achieve that. They may love working. Some people work in a lower paid job because it’s what they love to do. If you love the industry you’re in at work and don’t want to sacrifice any more time to work or study then be happy in the knowledge you made the right choice and spend that time with your family. If the answer to any of those is that you want change then change it. Why keep working in retail when you can make more with the same knowledge, ability and time elsewhere. Is it worth the risk? Only you can make that choice. Keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll never be a disappointment as long as you do your best.

    • The only real way is to exchange your time for more money not putting more hours, sounds obvious I know. Either that or maximise side hustles with the tax free allowances.

    • Try to build a social network that isn't built on money. Connect to neighbours, exchange favours, buit social connections. Not because money is inherently bad, but because the way money is currently used only benefits the asset owners. But they can't own your social connections.

  • You have said house prices, will continue to climb as the rich accumulate wealth. Surely there is a maximum affordable rent and so dimishing returns for landlords who will look elsewhere for investment returns ? Creating a ceiling to house prices relative to tenant incomes ?

  • I love this idea of everyone sharing the wealth. I am high school careers adviser. I meet a lot of idealistic young people who want to own properties to accumulate wealth. I do sometimes refer them to your youtube channel as part of their research! I would be really interested in your thoughts about how your ideology can fit with the challenge of climate change and limited resources and consumerism. Also the other big challenge of our time, AI and its potential impact on jobs and how we can move forward in a fair way.
