    18% inflation pretty much negates what you’re saying here. It’s hard to save 15% of your income when the price of basic necessities are 40% higher than 4 years ago.

    When I was a kid in the early 70s , that was when both husband and wife had to work to get a house . That's when it started BUT since there's two incomes , its less of a hassle to furnish the home . Thats the 🐂💩 they told us anyway . Now its almost impossible for the majority of Americans to even buy a house .

      Impossible in Cartel Commifornia. Say that to American Citizens financially trapped in foreign territory. You'll be looked at as very ignorant. Clearly you don't have a clue that the average wage is not 1/3 of the bare minimum cost of living for a single person. Hardly any single family homes because nobody can afford to sustain a household without multiple families in it. You've never ever experienced anything like it. Or you would have a completely different outlook.

    I was looking at leaving my job - on advice from my wife. Because I don't 'silent quit'... it's not morally 'right' - I went through the bills to see 'how long' I had as a cushion and found all kinds if wasteful spending $1,800 of which was a 'fast coffee' habit. After trimming the fat... we retired early. I've been camped out safely at home since just before 2020 and find 'social distancing' has kept me 'healthy' at this point. Jesus explained it simply - yeast theory. Can't wait until this 'bread' is done and over.

    GDP is Grossly Distorted Propaganda
    Economists do not talk about the depreciation of durable consumer goods. Though consumer goods like cars and refrigerators and microwave ovens get added to GDP they do not get subtracted on the macroeconomic level though the consumers Net Worth and quality of life may go down. Economists do not mention Net Domestic Product very much. That equation only incorporates the depreciation of Capital Goods like industrial robots and 18-wheel trucks.
    Consumers are supposed to True Believers in GDP.

      It actually makes lots of sense and will save a lot of cents. Making your own coffee everyday as opposed to buying your coffee at coffee shop everyday over the course of just 30 years will save around $10,000 or more. That's a lot of change in more ways than just one. 🤘😎👍

      @donaldmack2307 5 місяців тому

      @ImTero I agree there are bigger buckets to save on vs "coffee", you are not wrong. I guess the way you said it in the vid made it seem like it was nothing and meaningless. I have seen the price of a cup of coffee outside of my kitchen and my drip maker. I cant recall the last time I bought a premade cup. Its very expensive for what it is; freakin coffee. Maybe there was a misinterpretation on my part.

    Interesting theory.
    I would only say.
    1 the quality of life for the majority of Americans would improve.
    If we went back to taxing the wealthy at 70%.
    Instead poor people keep electing politicians that promise tax cuts.
    But those cuts only benefit the wealthy.
    You vote against your own best interests.
    2 Having kids.
    Just stop already.
    The world has enough.
    Obviously, I'm pro choice.
    This planet doesn't need another little you.
    Adopt, or find another use for your abilities.
    If you noticed.
    Much of his success was by in part to him being born into what many would call a socialist nation.
    Where people pay taxes.
    That benefit everyone.
    Not pay taxes so the wealthy don't have to.
    My opinion.
