The Chicago FED just reported a deep concern for the rising delinquencies on all forms of consumer debt, including credit card, delinquencies, auto loan delinquencies, student loan, delinquencies and non payment of rent. This cascading wall of debt is not only hitting consumers but the U.S. economy as a whole as businesses are also reporting a slowdown in hiring and more planned layoffs coming.

Bro I am here is South Florida as well (same industry) . Couple years ago when I said some that you post now you were almost laughing. You did a 180 and even stopped selling. I think you are growing.
Totally agre Micheal!
Why no timestamps?
Micheal you say guess what? Too much
I do think ahead by 1 - 5 , 20 years ahead etc . that's what made me plan ahead, invest, save money, pay off debt / home and retire early . I had all this vision at the age of 17 years old.
Let's be real. This is all by design.
100% - finally someone gets it.
It's exactly what ushers in the mark of the beast. This is going to get much worse.
EVERYTHING is planned out in advance.
it was done on purpose by the tyrannical feds!
Always is. Most people cannot see above the corn growing.
If only the entire nation would stop paying their taxes.
you dont even need that, you just need juries to start saying "not guilty" unless there is a specific victim who isn't the govt
AMEN!
They would just use AI to blackmail us
Amen.

It is cheaper for my family to buy a round trip plane ticket to Bulgaria (where my wife is from) and get medical and dental procedures done there. Than to drive to the doctor down the road and get treatment. This country is a joke.
It is less expensive & there are less headaches for my cousin to fly to Mexico and get an MRI on her shoulder than to get it done WITH insurance here in the US. Her insurer has denied her an MRI for six months and has her do physical therapy which has left her with a numb arm she cannot use and they continue to deny her the MRI. If they grant her the authorization to do it, it will still cost more than a ticket to Mexico & the $100 to get the MRI. She still won't listen to me about making the trip.

Забавно) Я то уже давно бездомный) Я тут прикинул, у меня где то в год 8000 долларов выходит, ну может 10000, не больше. ) Быть бездомным это плохо. Но соответственно и расходов таких нет. Благо что медицина у нас во многом бесплатная и дешёвая. В жизни не брал кредитов. И никому ничего не должен. Есть крыша над головой, бесплатное электричество, тепло, вода, интернет, работа рядом. Пусть всего 600-900 долларов в месяц, но и не нужно убиваться на работе за лишнюю сотню долларов. Жизнь коротка.
How tf you making 60k and still can’t afford a house? Are homes 1 million where you live? There is something you’re lying about
From VT here - thats just about what a lot of houses cost on what would be considered "desirable" land. Even a shitty house here is probably like 80-100k (if you're lucky and okay with a fixer-upper)
Plenty of places you can get a nice $250k house for $2k a month. Rent a room out for $800-$1000 or even 2 rooms. That's what I see some people doing. 2 rooms rented almost covers the mortgage and other people are paying it for you.
@@PointsOnly You just told this guy that if he wants to be able to buy a home, he needs to rent two bedrooms out. Do you not understand how insane you sound? THAT'S WORSE THAN LIVING IN AN APARTMENT. PEOPLE BUY HOMES FOR PRIVACY.

Good one.
Trump eliminated the Consumer Affairs Bureau, which protected us from price gouging and the price gouging went on a rampage. Biden has been pleading with the MAGA lead House to introduce legislation to address it. That is where the problem lies, Trump allowed business to go to steroidal price gouging, no oversite nor govt. intervention anymore. Biden is the only candidate addressing these issues, but the MAGAS will tell you they are all corrupt, when the ones yelling the most are supporting the corruption.

@@badinstinctsKZhead-xb3ojno dad is still out working trying to make income just like mom
I work and my wife stays home. Choices made when we got married 23 years ago. It can be done - but it requires sacrifice. Very few of my friends wives stay home because they say they can’t afford it - yet they make more than we do!
It can be done. People don’t want to live in lower cost of living areas or buy smaller homes. I grew up In a 1400 sq ft home, two parents and 3 kids and we did just fine. People in my family turn up their noses at me because we live in a large double wide, but we have a great property and are perfectly happy here with our very low cost mortgage and in a low cost of living area. I drive an old Ford Pickup, and we have a 16 year old family van. You know what? We are happy and can afford to do fun things.
You're right. The lady next door to me works all day long. Her husband just sits around his house all day.
And grandma’s on OnlyFan’s showing a little too much ankle.
I hope to see the hard reset happen sometime in my lifetime. Many of us have nothing to lose at this point. We aren't married, no kids, no property, just being endlessly taxed only for the overwhelmingly majority of it to go to Israel, Ukraine, illegals, and other nonsense. I'm beyond ready.
😂 ok
I don’t disagree we need something to change… but a reset, of all things? Why just let war get to that point we need the reset? We the people needa step up n make an awakening happen not let a reset happen.
I'm with it.

No, you'd end up giving money to the corporations who run this country. You're all fools if you believe that the government is the problem, when corporations literally poison the land and water for profit, while stealing money from the working class through launder schemes :/

Slavery didn't END. It just encompassed all the races.( charles Bukawski).
Wage slavery; you don't have house, feed, or care for them in any way. The value of their labor trades on a market that can be manipulated with immigration and they pay the tax on it themselves; chattel slavery doesn't hold a candle in comparison. The civil was just forcing it into agriculture.
@@m4c4c0 The problem is too much inflation. Throwing more money at the problem will only make inflation much worse. The real solution is get inflation way down, make America affordable again. That would be a good Trump slogan.

When our health insurance was more than our mortgage and it takes 4 months to see a doctor who doesn't do anything for you... We dropped our insurance and jumped on a well researched health share.
very true
People went to war to fight like 5% taxation, now people pay roughly 30% income tax PLUS taxes on all of their purchases and property. We failed ourselves by letting taxes increase.
Remember that when you retire your social security will also be taxed income. Sickening.
That’s why the only things I invest in are silver, gold, seeds, lead and myself. Won’t get rich over night, but you can sleep at night.
We can spend our money where WE decide to. We already pay well over 50% of our income in taxes and use fees when you look at all of the ways they hit us. Unavoidable 22% federal income tax for many people and more for some, 15% payroll tax (medicaid, medicare, unemployment insurance, social security insurance), 7% sales tax when you buy anything, 5% state income tax, $4,000 plus per year in property tax, gas tax, tags, title, registration, food tax, tire disposal fees, utility taxes, TSA fees are more than some plane fares, mandatory insurance for cars and health and a long list of other types, hunting and fishing fees for licenses, driver's license fees, trade licenses to work. Everything else you buy has been inflated and costs more because those manufacturers, transporters and widget processors are being tapped too so of course they have to charge you to cover their bills. On and on. Cease and desist with government imposed burdens. People over 60 should be exempt from income taxes altogether. End some of the government services and spending instead of thinking up new ways to tax us for more government services. Once one service is created we should end 2 or 3 old ones. Especially the policy allowing social security recipients to adopt their own grandkids to get an additional 50% of their retirement per month. That's right. Straight from a Social Security reps mouth, $1k plus extra per month for the child. May as well give a universal basic income like the communists in CA and NYC want. A scroll as long as the Jordan river with more such tricks. Now do you still ask why the USA is $35T in debt? Some will say only a 30% tax burden. ONLY? Who in congress will stop the spending?
Not to mention America is the only country that taxes citizens outside of their country
No... They went to war to fight taxation WITHOUT representation. We, the idiots keep voting for the uniparty and expect different results.
Dear citizens of the US: If you change nothing, nothing will change. We need to unite and take our country back, rather than continue to sit back and watch it all burn. The choice is OURS.

I feel that similar situation with my wife and I, car's we paid them off felt relief for a moment then boom. The state of everything has anxiety in my chest that I have to stuff down to keep going or I'll spiral.
What are you talking about?I just saw on the news last night that the economy is better than ever
The 1 dollar 💵 value is $.05 cents and if you have $10.00 dollars 💸 its buying power value is $.25 cents. This is the best way for people to understand.
If I go to a store I can buy a carton of 24 eggs for $10. $.25 will only get me a gumball. So I dont think that is true yet.
True... as compared to dollar's value 100 yrs ago. INFLATION... is the actual reduction of the dolkar's value & has been going on for many decades. Controlling inflation at 2% as stated by the Fed is just a slow boiling of the frog. Using just 1 commodity to draw a conclusion here is bad analysis.
The dollar is worth 460 times less than in 1913. That lost value is about to be restored. Gold backed dollar is on deck and it will not say federal reserve note.

I just lost a co-worker a couple of days ago due to the high rise of my job insurance premiums. He didnt enroll this past year cause he needed the extra money for bills. He rode a bicycle everyday to work. To save money. He fell off his bicycle about a week ago and hit his head. Didnt tell anyone. Few days later went to sleep and never woke up. He was only in his early 50's. His death could've been prevented easily. In trying to save more money to pay for the cost of living. It ended up costing him his life.
That is so sad 😢
I'm so sorry. That is heart-breaking...
Wow , how’s your boss feel for not offering health insurance in the pay package

I am living in Thailand, which is technically, a Monarchy. In a Monarchy, the King owns everything. The land has "title" papers and most forest land has no papers to assure permanent rights of transfer. So the papers only identify who gets the privilege of paying taxes to the Crown. I gave away my land in the US when I saw that ownership there means the same thing. The responsibility of taxes to an imperial government. If you fall behind, everything can be taken from you by local and State government. My SS is less than $2000.00/month and 80% of that can be used for discretionary spending. I don't use insurance, personal transportation, or land ownership. But I had $1000.00 to spend on four men and 3 heavy machines to dig a pond on the land I rent. Then I did another pond, the next month. Now when the war parasites eliminate SS to "save," the budget, I will eat fish and water corn. I agree with you that consumer debt is going to take the US down.
Hope you grow some peppers too much luck.

I word two jobs - one pays 125K and the other pays 60/hr and I put in 35 hours a week on average at that job. I am probably heading to bankruptcy and I own absolutely nothing. I have no school debt, no fancy cars, no assets of any sort, I haven't gone on any vacations in a decade. What killed me is medical debt and medical costs that were put on credit cards like medications. My wife needed cancer care and insurance wouldn't approve medications she needed when she needed them. I paid out of pocket and she's alive and in remission and our children had a mother to see them graduate from school. However, it cost me my house, my vehicles, my savings, my 401K, and I'm over 100K in debt. Basically I had to come up with funds or she would die. It is neither exaggeration nor hyperbole to say that it was like a hostage negotiation situation and I had to pay or watch her die in front of me. Unless you've got eight figures in the bank the medical world can destroy you financially so quickly it will take your breath away.

First mistake! Sending our jobs overseas with NAFTA! Second telling everyone they need college! Our parents got wealthy by working in Mills, factories and owning businesses. Now its all made in China. Now all those empty factories that our parents worked are closed. Now we outsource jobs to India! Yeah that's why. Everyone wants a sit on your ass job and those are overseas now too! Thank all the CEO's and Government! My dad got his wealth with a 11th graded education. He was a plant manager in a textile mill for 30 years and started out as a floor mechanic. He spent his entire life working for the same company and retired very well off with a nice paid for home, owned two 40ft boats on the lake, owned land etc... We sent all that overseas to save money for the CEO's.

Never confuse having credit with actually having money.
It’s only been weeks
This is exactly true. The word "credit" when it comes to credit cards is a bit of a misnomer. It is not credit at all. Credit is money in the bank. A 'credit' card is a license to go into debt. Knowing this alone about credit cards has allowed me to own one with an 11k limit for the past 10 years, and keep the balance at zero even to this day. The trick is to never make large purchases without having the cash on hand to pay the balance. Yes, that means I'm renting my home. But, today, I am 100% debt free and I own everything in my possession, including 2 vehicles and an RV.
Yes! I like being a deadbeat. In the credit card industry, a deadbeat is a person that pays off their balance each month.

I live in Tampa, Florida. My homeowner's insurance was $2400 in 2023 but increased to $6600 in February. That new price (plus the increase in property taxes in 2024) caused a shortage, pushing my mortgage from $2485 to $3328 monthly. Our mortgage was $2145 when we bought this house in 2017. To add more salt to our wound, GEICO increased our auto insurance by $400 extra per month because our teenage son had to be added. Our monthly bills increased by $1600+ dollars; we are not okay...
Insane.
I was forced to refinance because of an escrow shortage. The bank sent a letter stating that my mortgage would go up $700 per month. The bank made me jump through hoops to refi..more paperwork than when I bought the damn place. They want me to lose the place so they can cash in on my equity. My house is in a place where gentrification is rampant and while I appreciate the neighborhood changing for the better, the taxes and insurance has been rising as a result.
They say in about 70 or so years Florida will be in the ocean anyways so start getting the hell out of there.

Same here. In clearwater, and my insurance was 1600 when I got the house in 2019, and it's gone up to 4700 now. Had to switch companies because my old one tried to go to 6900, but my mortgage has gone from 1400 to 2400.
That's why I paid off and cut up my credit cards except for one that i keep for emergencies. Living within your means are a thing!

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.
@@laurijohnson7754 in the 50s you could survive off the man’s income alone now that women want to be men and want 50/50 it’s not possible for the majority because instead of paying a man 30$/hr they can hire Jim & Jan for 15$/hr each while strangers watch and indoctrinate the kids with nonsense… I’m 23 and believe things will only get worse the parenting has gotten worse every decade
@@laurijohnson7754 I don't think so because CREDIT looks like it is here to stay.
Honestly even the corrupt fiat FED system could have worked a lot better if the FED and Federal Government weren't entirely reckless.. The 10 year UST should have NEVER been under 4%... if that rule was followed things would be 1000x different today, even while still operating under a dirty central banking system.
The more we don't fight corruption, the more we deserve the outcome.
For freedom to flourish, vigilance must remain at all time highs. Always.
Remember,corruption starts at the top, Ukraine, making foreign countries VERY RICH, is like the money laundering they try to accuse us minions of,when in reality we don't have enough to live on,never mind play their games with. Why are Americans paying for all these foreign governments to retire in comfort,when their own people are starving,freezing, being thrown out of their own homes to make way for unwanted foreign thugs to take over. Because the plan is to destroy America,which your government is doing at an amazingly terrifying rate. Time for change, not only in America,but throughout to Western civilised world,where keeping Christian values MUST keep all the Eastern religious groups at bay, they are in our country, not the other way round, they have their own country to return to,we don't. THIS I S OUR HOME AND OUR CHRISTIAN COUNTRY AND WORTH KEEPING CHRISTIAN FOR EVER. The Billions upon Billions of our money needs to be spent on our people , NOT FOREIGNERS, LEECHING off us.
I thought 2008 was going to pop it off but Americans weren't aware of what was happening. Heck, I didn't know until a couple yrs later after losing my house and car and job. Everyone that lost were embarrassed and didn't talk about their experience until yrs later when they also figured out the wider issue. More are aware now and I hope when it all starts to affect more people, we will have an army to fight back this time
@@ManiacalManiacshould've already happened as far as I'm concerned! Very overdue!
And your plan is???
Loved the video. You break it down and make it very easy to understand. I wish more and more people could hear this video. Good stuff!
"you will own nothing and you will be happy about it" this is exactly what they want to be happening
“You will own nothing” The WEF
and be happy. WEF.
Bingo
We don't own anything anyway, we are only stewards of the things we think we own.
IF YOUR PARENTS DIDNT DO WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO THEN YES. OBIVIOUSLY IF YOU DID SOMETHING 10 YEARS BACK YOUD BE GOOD NOW, DEPENDING ON YOUR AGE AS WELL.
And many politicians are in line with the WEF. Even Republicans.
I'm a carpenter and I've only been getting calls for repairs and smaller projects of $10k or less. It was just like this after the crash of 08, only this is before the crash. People are broke. I can't imagine how bad things will be this time around.
In 2008 we advertised to work for about a dollar earn hour less than anyone else just to keep working.
@@Joce123 I certainly worked for less too. I also mowed lawns and sold firewood to make ends meet. It was rough for a while.
At least you're still getting calls. I hung up my tool belt last year.
Our economy is already toast. We're at the point in Monopoly that the banks are writing IOUs in lieu of the fake money, they used to replace the fake money. It's a house of cards at best.
I plan to get my place remodeled next year with cash. Custom kitchen cabinets among other things.
At least you have sunshine! Here in NYC it’s May 9 and 55 degrees and cloudy! It’s been like this for 72 hours straight. Oh yea we have Federal, State and City taxes on income! Property tax is 18k and car insurance is high. We also have 2600 speed cameras and 4000 red light cameras. Our speed limit is getting reduced to 20MPh and congestion pricing is coming as well. Oh and the bridge/tunnel toll is $12 each way!
Nice one man. Totally stumbled across your channel. Dig the content, straight and to the point. Keep speaking the truth. Cheers
I am a barber in a blue-collar neighborhood. People are getting their hair cut less frequently, tipping less or not at all, and credit card use over cash has almost doubled in two years. People wait until they get a paycheck to get a haircut. More senior men are unable to make ends meet.
could you stay competitive (keep rates low) if you worked out of a box truck instead of a brick-&-mortal place? Just wondering. we have a dog groomer in my area who is mobile, she has a regular route....
Ever since the pandemic, when people couldn't even go to the barber, I learned how to cut my own hair. I suppose many people did the same thing. Haven't gone to a barber since.
Haven't been to a barber in 15 years set the sheer on #1 once a month
Been cutting my own hair for years. I cant imagine having luxury money for something like a haircut.
True. My wife cuts my hair now. Not as good as you pros are but damn close and I can live with it.
They don't care about people being in debt until they can't pay their bills.
Exactly
Then they go to jail and become government slaves!
I’ve even seen a semi run over another car the other day:( he was a dad with two young girls
Well done, to the point and clear and concise.
This channel is so helpful, thanks man
I'm 61, still working full time, started living in my van 2 years ago.
Prove it
Man that’s…if it’s forced that horrible. 61 working your entire life and if that’s not by choice that proves the system is broken. Globally. You’re doing great though. Stay safe and warm…
@@GalicHoHyabusa this man wont prove his statement
Van? One of those fancy ones?
I used to live in a car and miss it so much. I am now in a large house and pretty sure I spend hours cleaning and walking back and forth 🫥
Our rent just went up. We can’t afford gas. Can’t afford food. Credit cards are being paid at the bare minimum amount. Friends are losing their houses. We have gotten to the point where it’s gas or food. Never in my life did I foresee this.
I never had wife or kids. I saw it coming
Thank god I have rich parents. They are clueless what’s happening around them.
You are not alone. Most of the nation is going through this. We will be ready for an American Caesar before too long. They'll try to suppress him, but I don't think that's going to work. Might be a year from now. Might be 5. But in these times, someone always rises.
Bro let’s hope your parents don’t need assisted living They will lose all with that.
And you see why gen z are pissed
I love this guy! It's good to see the truth coming out! Thank you!
I quit my near 50k a year job just last week and am going into van life. I’m done with the monotonous killing my body and having zero work life balance to be able to spend with my wife and sometimes less is more. We have unlimited hotspot, solar system, a paid off car, I don’t care if I’m never going to be able to pay off all this debt. I’d rather be able to enjoy my life while I still can, and honestly homeless people have way more freedom than most do nowadays, stuck in jobs to pay off and hope for a pipe dream that’ll only happen for few. People need to wake up, you’re never going to have enough money. They literally rolled out plans for us to “own nothing and be happy” and that’s only 5 years from now….
Governments have been making us poorer for years!
50% goes to taxes
making the people poor is the only thing gov't can do. It hasn't been years.... It's been centuries and millennia.
Decades* arguably over a century
You mean the rich. They make it harder for the poor to get financially better
I made more money every years that I worked. Now on pension that grows automatically by 2% every year and SS thats been going up like crazy, I feel its safe to say that I for one am not poorer every year. Just a bit over 90K this year in pension and SS. I'm sure a lot of rich people are actually a whole new level of richer this year.
I felt like middle class before lockdown. Now I feel like my car might be a nice apartment.
I felt rich with a path to early retirement.. now feel homeless 😐
This is so heartbreaking, I'm seeing more of this in Southern California. Our Country has been infatuated for so many years by folks who don't care. Ugggg
I can live comfortably in my customized van ! 😂
We made the decision to travel the country and live out our Subaru with an attachable tent. So tired of being in one spot and struggling to make ends meet. I’m 62 and gonna make the most out of the rest of my life without all the bullshit.
@@RichieDadams good on ya .. are you living off savings?
I hear you loud and clear I am so broke. I work as many hours as I can I may need to get a night time job to make ends meet. I am a senior single woman I live alone I am my only provider. I have no savings anymore because I have to use it to survive and I am using my 401k now. I have to call my bill collectors to get extensions. Pay rent late and make car payment late as well. I've never counted on anyone to help me I just keep going. I know my Lord will help me and he has many times with miracles and I just thank him each time and even when I am having a good day I thank him. I am off today and wish everyone a happy Mother's day. The Lord has blessed me many times and will continue to. Thank you Lord for giving me life today.
Hi, I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, perhaps I might be able to recommend Dave Ramsey, you may or may not already know but he has a KZhead channel and also podcast where he and he's Ramsey solution team helps everyday folks create a plan in order to sort out our finances, it's super helpful & sometimes just being able to let the issues off our chests can be great, you can phone in or speak to he's team, I hope that you find a solution, God bless.
Thank you for saying it out loud what ive been thinking.
I lived in Riverview Florida for 5 years. Am a widower. Was working 65-70 hours a week. Mortgage went from $1800 to $2200 a month. Major increase in home insurance. Moved to Arkansas. Have a beautiful home. Am working 36 hours a week. Much happier.
Great to hear someone doing better in all this mess 🎉
Good to hear your loving NWA! I immigrated here in 2001 from Canada! We do Utilites and earthwork in NWA and show behind the scenes on our channel!
How is the climate, jobs in Arkansas, seriously. Never thought of that as a relocation destination as a lifelong Floridian.
I live in Florida and the avg rent for an apartment is now $1500-$2100 a month.
Move to Moscow, Russia! Won't need to pay near as much with all conveniences and free high-tech healthcare...
When I hear this, I think of the phrase that keeps coming up… “You’ll own nothing and be happy” All of this is no accident.
Facts. It’s what they want, this is a deliberate destruction.
Lot's of truth here. Keep giving knowledge sir. Some just don't understand. Thanks
You’re spot on with this one.
Daily reminder there's one difference between government and ordinary people: Both can print fake $ if they get their hands on a money printer, but only one will go to jail for it.
yup
Cars were never supposed to be this expensive. 45 k?? $700.00 car payment? No wonder no one has savings anymore.
And that’s average priced cars. Nice trucks are $100,000 these days.
I have only bought one brand new vehicle in my life. Never again. My newest now is 9 years old and paid for!!
@@blackhogdown295 You’re smart not to buy new. At these prices. It’s a fools game. I have a paid off bought new 2008 model with 100k miles. I thought about buying a newer model before the pandemic. But I punched the numbers and even then thought they were too much and decided not to. Best decision ever. I live in Burbank near a blvd of shops with all the things I need. So I can walk to most places. Thank god, because gas here is now averaging $5.39 a gallon. Inflation and costs to just maintain and insure a car are up. I used to go to the car wash once a week. Pre pandemic it was $8.99 early bird special. Today that same car wash is $23.00, not including a tip. Ridiculous. So I wash at home now. I eat at home now too. Last week my breakfast place upped their menu prices yet again within 3 months. $19.59 for a plate of two eggs two bacon, hash browns and toast. Not including coffee. That’s like $3 for each item. I’m not paying $3.00 for an egg plus 10 percent sales tax and leaving a 15 percent tip. Sorry for the rant. It’s time to save money and stop making others wealthy playing their games our money. Be well👍
@@blackhogdown295 never buy NEW, I got a 9 year old Benz that was better than new because it LOOKS better than the new ones, new does not mean anything other than GARBAGE to me. I would say 90 percent of new car buyers can not afford them.
Reason that being look all the ridiculous crap there putting in them basically putting a lot of stuff to comfort people like all you need the vehicle for is to get to point A-B why add all the extra tech just to up the price they know exactly what there doing I can keep going on but I’m get a headache 🥴
Shit's hitting the fan IN REAL LIFE 🧬
I WILL NOT BE OWENED. I Will no longer allow myself to be abused by our system.
@wildwindings- Keep believing that........ It is still happening, and it will NEVER be changed. LMAO
@@Ultimate-Guardian. not with that attitude it won't
The only thing keeping us from realizing we are in a depression, not a recession, is the credit sources available to private citizens.
Well said. That and the fact that there’s a few bubbles that haven’t caught up to the 95% of metrics showing we are in a depression
And now we see the car title loan shops, advance America loans, super high interest rates on CC interest 30%???
If only we could put a credit limit on the government
why? The governments deficit is our surplus. So getting them to balance their budget means taking money out of your own pocket
That is the very reason our ForeFathers warned against having a Central Bank Fiat Currency. END THE BASTARD FED.
@@grimaffiliations3671 It's all an engineered joke. Take it from the richest and it's solved
@@NE0Nwhip That isn't necessary. If the debt becomes a problem we could always just stop selling bonds. There's no rule that says we need to match deficits with bond sales. Or we could just buy out half our debt like the Japanese did
The bigger impact is from businesses closing and not paying rents and loans. Not general public.
ABSOLUTELY ALL PLANNED ! 💥 💯❗️ ✔️
Whoever invented the credit card never imagined in their wildest dreams that a buy now pay later assault on the consumer could be worth 1.2 trillion. Thats pure genius
They knew what they were inventing. Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, bartering is the money of peasants and debt is the money of slaves.
I love credit cards and all of those cash back dollars.
The travesty is being able to charge 21%+ interest without being thrown in jail for usury.
They never knew how many jobs would be created to service the credit card industry. It has been a game Chander.
Edit..changer
I’m a good example of why people have become blase’ about paying bills. I was religious about paying my bills on time. I checked my credit report and it had fallen from 815 to 635. Someone was using my identity to open utility accounts, and defaulting on bills. For 2 years, I did everything I was told to do to correct the situation, including freezing my credit. My credit has only risen to 678. Meanwhile, my friend, who has had a foreclosure, several repops on vehicles, and many thousands of dollars of unpaid credit card bills, has managed to raise his credit score up to the middle 700s. Why should I bother?
Yeah, see how that works? And It's absolutely amazing how so many here are still praising credit cards Their Kool-aid intoxication hasn't worn off, yet...
We are paying off all our debt and closing credit cards. Not worth it.. It's hard work in this economy but God says pay all your debtors so that's exactly what we are going to do.
Credit scores are bullshit
@@vanculpepper6428 I don't disagree
I did the same thing, paid bills on time, didn't use a credit card in a long time, they lower the credit limit amount, and my credit took a hit for that, my score took a dive. They want you in debt to make money on their interest rates, and if you don't owe anybody, they tell you you don't have a credit history. Experian and credit card companies are in cahoots.
Hey Bro 👋 I FEEL YOUR PAIN!
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
I got into bad CC debt 15 years ago. Paid it off and never have had a CC since. If I don’t have cash or money in the bank, I don’t buy it. The only thing I have financed now is my house, cars are all paid cash for and I live a very minimalist life. Not being married is probably my greatest money saver lol, I only have to worry about myself and my kid. I bought into the instant gratification lifestyle and paid the price, but I learned my lesson. I’m not rich, but I have enough money in the bank to cover major emergencies and I’m in an industry where I’ll most likely never be out of work. I just want enough to live and one day move off grid and live in the middle of nowhere. Too much instant gratification and entitlement in today’s society. Live simply.
Thank you! And I'm glad there are still people like you in our society because most Americans are absolutely destructive when handling money.
EXACTLY! I have a LOT I consider luxuries. I save about $250/month by just slashing internet and cable, and another $200 by having no makeup, fancy hair or nails, expensive clothing. I need to buy new tires-not eat out and get dolled up.
It is not bad. I use cc for bonuses and then close them. I fly internationally 2-3 times a year completely free. It depends how you use it lol
@@viacheslavfedunov111yes, of course it depends on how you use it ! If you have the expenses & cash to spend on the card, then of course the rewards will come. Probably not for someone who only spends $100 a week in groceries At Walmart …..😮
sounds like you're in hospitality
I work in a bank. ROUTINELY I see this 1. >75% of the credit limit used on a credit card 2. Huge increase in HELOCs and cash out Refinances 3. Increase of Cash Advances of the credit cards (routinely charged at a higher rate) 4. Increases in just the last 3 months of delinquent debt 5. Increase of credit cards applications 6. Banks are now rolling out "No credit check" loans where they only look at your delinquent debt and not your credit as long as you hit certain criteria
how tf hasn’t the economy crashed yet on that
IT'S ALL TRUMPS FAULT!! LOL
How much did your bank take during the bailouts?
Watched a couple of your vids so far. Well spoken and beautiful scenery every time. You got a Sub and thumbs up.
my aunt is in her 70s and worked all her life, she is now disabled, cant get any social services or medical help, she has some kind of crappy medical insurance called Blue Cross from her job She draws a 30k pension, lives in San Francisco and was told she makes too high an income to be eligible for any social or health services for low income people. One of her legs does not work and her back is twisted from scoliosis, when she goes out of her apartment with her walker she has to pass by homeless tent cities where drug addicts are living large collecting social benefits, walking into stores and stealing as much as they want with no consequences from law enforcement. All our tax dollars from people that worked are going to homeless drug addicts.
Looking around at people working regular 9-5 jobs, driving 80k vehicles and living in 500k houses. Everybody is debt maxing.
That’s what I’ve been saying. People living WAY outside their means.
I often ask myself how the hell people are affording the things they have in this economy.
I have a sibling that lives like that, always borrowing money and maxing out credit cards, but the more I look at people and see the way they live, I can see that a large amount of the population lives this way.
It’s about time. Stop paying everything. Make the system collapse
👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🎤
And perform the coomeralltism
I gotta pay my car payment
@@Xslices no you don't
Stop having kids also. I always say. Kids will only grow up to a twisted system of debt and tax corruption. It will be harder on them
All facets of Life is raising rates/prices and the reality is hitting the fan now that you can’t expect payment when folks don’t have it.
My property taxes and home insurance here in Florida increased by an additional $800 a month after the first year for my property near Jacksonville. Considering about selling all available assets including our home to prepare for this economic downturn
Our host is right. People don’t have money: they have credit and when that is maxed out… we’re in real deep doo doo.
Since 1913
Got news for ya, we are in deep doo doo already. Your living in a smoke screen. Pay off, pay down, live free with what ya got. Just a helpful tip
Uh oh boo boo in the water
Especially at these hyper finance and interest rates on credit cards. Ouch!
the banks down just give out loans, you've gotta be good for it. More people getting loans approved means more people are able to pay
When insurances, car payments and property taxes become so disproportionately high then people become trapped and disillusioned. The wider economy suffers.
It is all ridiculous! smh
It’s the wef b.s. of you will own nothing bcoz they will make it all unaffordable
do not finance a car...
Florida is the worst for all 3...

Can count on one hand the non-essential "luxury" items I've purchased the last 18 months - each costing about $40. My contribution to consumer spending is nil. Meanwhile, tourists roll into our town too, driving Land Rovers, & grocery costs nearly double, again. Another economic slam, on top of insanely escalating insurance costs, that's literally forcing me (neighbors too) to move out & away from a home I love. Much of it due to this horrid DC administrangulation.
