    Don't simply retire from something; have something to retire to. Start saving, keep saving, and stick to investments. Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

      It’s really heartbreaking to see how inflation and recession impact low-income families. The cost of living keeps rising, and many struggle just to meet basic needs, let alone save or invest. It’s a reminder of the importance of finding ways to create financial opportunities. You've helped me a lot sir Robert! Imagine i invested $50,000 and received $190,500 after 14 days

    Great video! I believe the UK needs to lower its energy costs, this would directly reduce inflation. In turn, the Bank of England could lower interest rates, allowing growth across the economy. Energy costs are critical because they impact every aspect of business and money creation. Over the past 4-5 years, rising energy costs have been a significant driver of UK inflation, exacerbating economic challenges and then the bank of England has chosen to make things worse by increasing (and holding) interest rates. With these two things its basically holing the UK (UK PLC) prisoner to growth.

    BOE should continue to sell otherwise whats the point of even having a bond market. Why dont we just monetise the UK debt like Zimbabwe did? again all silly policy. There is a reason why the BOE was given independance and further mandated under the 1998 Bank of England Act. This economist should go look at the 10 year gilt rates before 1998 and after. If the government keeps meddling you will just see higher gilt rates. How about the government attempt to run a budget surplus and we remove government central planning that only ever has exacerbated income inequaltiy. Having more inflation just hits the poor even more.

    I am not British or in Britain (Swedish in Sweden). From the outside it seems UK productivity is long term issue and whenever a general cirsis hits you are slower to adapt to it. Brexit was a homemade issue but most are interntaional and affects all western economies at the same time. Brexit will be ten (10) years before you have new plan/alternative path even. At best. Iceland can handle being outside the EU and still cooperate economically. The 2008 banking crisis hit Iceland a lot worse than the UK. She has handled 2008 probaly better than the UK despite that by now...
    English is now stronger than ever. Due to the debt/asset economy having good financial markets and acess is more important. India is the worlds largets nation by population, Pakistan the 5th, Bangladesh the 8th, Nigeria one of the most growing countries (by population). They speak English and have education systems etc similar to yours. When a Scandinavian visit the UK it is like timetravel seing buildings last renovated in the 1980s or 1990s. Get some post year 2000 windows, isolaltion and stuff in for Gods sake... Sure when you are heavy into debt you are always under pressure but come on. Italy has way higher debt, worse aging population etc and still a lot lower interest reates. You are paying premium rates and seen as extra risky all around. Sober up!

    To get economic growth up. Cut government spending by cutting the welfare and unneeded government departments. Raise interest rates to raise the pound so input costs such as energy prices come down. Constrain the government in terms of planning. it is funny productiviy has flatlined since 2008 with ZIRP and QE. Businesses dont invest in research and development and equipment to raise productivity if they are clobbered with increased costs because of a debased currency.

      If anyone wants to look at data have a look at uk 10 year golt rates before 1998 and after. The Bank of England Act of 1998 came in to force. As the BOE was considered independant the markets we happy to lend to the UK gov. Generally I believe that the theory of Keynesian economics is that when the economy is good the government should run a budget surplus ready to spend when the economy is bad. Notice that the government had to do QE to bail out the banks in 2008. Hence why Economics is a soft science which exacerbates a sort of cult like behavour hence why we have had subsequent bad policies since then. You see the problem with QE is that you have to do QT or you monetise debt. based on this personally I took out a 10 year fix rate mortgage at 3.05 percent have cash savings precious metals stocks pension. Ill get hit on a few of my assets but I think it will balance out. we can all blame reeves budget but where were the treasury?

    The UK is a right-leaning, capitalistic nation - guided by principles of personal responsibility.
    So the first thing we need to do is get government out of the way.
    All benefits/disability payments/public pensions/other entitlements need to end this year.
    Some of the vast sums saved from eliminating the welfare state need to go to properly funding things like national defence and criminal justice.
    But the largest chunk should be slashing taxes across the board to drive growth and investment.
    These moves completely rebalance the economy to the advantage of people who create wealth, work, value, and contribute.
    All else has failed. Let's go for Singapore-on-Thames that was promised by the EU referendum.

And so we swing politically from left to right, right to left, Beleveing that governments have hard levers to power when in fact it's the treasury. With an impatient public, not politically engaged, and only months ago, a self-serving, donor persuaded, one of the largest being the big house builders in the country (land banking)Tory government.

    The UK is a Fiat currency. The UK government can't go bankrupt. Government should simply stop borrowing and except the budget deficit. Its effectively meaningless if you follow MMT

      It can go bankrupt, as Weimar republic discovered. GBP isn’t global reserve currency. Try (again) to inflate debt away and there will be a gilts strike and no money to buy anything as the value of the money becomes worthless.
      So, yes, the UK can easily bankrupt itself.

      The debt interest is linked to the consumer price index inflation. So that plan would only work if you could print all the money without increasing inflation and dealing the currency devaluing massively, maybe you could time it right, especially if other currencies globally are collapsing first, but you’re going to loose a lot of credibility and very few institutions would lend to the government for years after.

      They already have, hence flight from the UK. Ultimately increasing taxes results in less tax money collected.
      Basically at some point the government has to live within its means.

    Isn't it a conspiracy theorist ideal that most major countries are all in the same trouble with national debt, looks like it has been done by design. (WEF).

      most of these countries believe in keynesianism. however politicians only implemented half the theory to win votes as there was no holding back on spending when the economy was roaring why did they need to as Brown said no more boom and bust.
