  • NYU Professor, entrepreneur, podcast host, and bestselling author Scott Galloway talks to Ronny Chieng about his latest book, “The Algebra of Wealth.” He touches on tips for young people wishing to build a nest egg for themselves, but also points to a larger system run by senior politicians that repeatedly funnels wealth toward boomers at the expense of younger generations. He stresses the importance of electing officials who represent the average age of the electorate and can actually relate to the issues faced by today’s young middle class. #DailyShow #RonnyChieng #RNC

I ended up working for a large very profitable infrastructure company for 13 years (accounts payable admin) starting at $17 an hour. Only just a few years ago was I able to save for retirement. Each year I got a 3% cost of living increase which I was thankful for. In January I got fired because I made to much money! Corporations only care about profits!

But sure - blame government policy. Given his client list, too much of a conflict of interest for him to tell the truth.

I retired as a Sr manager, I was chosen over highly educated individuals, Masters, PHd, and more. I was very skilled in my position, I interviewed for fun and offered several positions - turned down.

It seems like this plan for a ruling-class owned & operated society was setup back in the early 80s beginning with Reaganomics, which is where those tax cuts began

      He said "3% to 6%starting in your 20s" and you'll be wealthy at his age. Easiest way, have 10% auto-transferred into savings each pay period. Don't worry, it's still yours. Make a game of living on the rest: Can I do without it or get it cheaper? Lots of UA-cam channels on thrift. And you might be under-paid at your current job. Negotiating raises; strategically changing jobs; getting certification, training & education that bumps up your pay level are survival necessities now.

      It doesn't work on its own, it's dependent on his other advice working out. It's a broad statement. You will never be rich saving even 10% of your salary at McDonalds unless you get incredibly lucky with bets on the market which is not advisable or sustainable. His advice about saving is largely targeted at people working jobs above the median pay. I wouldn't castigate him for that either. There isn't one answer to any of these problems. You'd have to make a lot of changes which have the potential to lead to a better future and even then it isn't guaranteed.

      Is it tougher for the ones at the bottom of the income hierarchy to be able to put aside money for their retirement? Certainly - however it is not impossible, and every single one of us needs to understand that compounding interest and time in the market are our friends.
      The median household have a real shot at having over a million dollars saved up if they can put forward 10% of the households income into savings per year across a lifetime (40 years), and if you have an average income instead of the median, that number dramatically increases.
      That's not to say it's not tough at the bottom - it is, and while I am not American, I would hope you guys are able to help those in that situation. However the median McD worker would be able to retire with about $250,000 saved up if they were able to put up that 10% you noted. I don't know if that is enough to retire with in the US, but from what I can see, they would still be able to beat the current median savings for that age, even though they have been below median income levels their whole life.

My mother, still to this day will tell you that letting her boys go was the hardest thing she's done. I was the thrill seeker in my family and my lifestyle used to worry her a lot. We, my three brothers and I each did our own thing. We are still alive and very close to our mom. I actually bought a house five minutes away from her so I can take care of her. She's in her late 70's ... I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. She showed me what unconditional love is and I will always cherish that. Nothing's more powerful than a mother's love.

      Jon would have asked better questions, and would have addressed the fact that Prof Galloway makes a ton of money as a corporate consultant and coincidentally he did not place any of the blame on the low wages they are paying which don't keep up with consumer prices so that young people, never mind saving 3%-6% (which he tossed off like it was a given) don't have enough money to simply pay rent and eat nutritious food nowadays. At least when Boomers got out of school they made a high enough wage to meet these basic expenses.

I bounced a check on my very first dentist. 401ks did not exist and were not available until 1980, so I worked for 15 years without the 401k option. Owning a house was unavailable for me for quite a while. I feel for the young people today. Keep your head down, work and save. If you don't know how to invest, learn or stop by a brokerage office and talk to them. Don't buy the flashy, expensive stuff. Old people are not your enemy.
