There is a reason they don't teach personal finance skills in high school. The system wants debt slaves to pay government taxes for life.
Absolutely!!!
There is only so much personal finance skills can do. If you fall ill or have an accident those skils can only take you so far, good luck

For the first time in my adult life I can’t pay my bills. No mortgage, no credit cards, no car payment. None.
Many are quiet, keeping it on the low to uphold normalcy.
@@allermenchenaufderI suspect my parents are in the same boat. They’ve been acting strange these past 2 months. My father slipped and said he’s not comfortable at all. Not one to complain, and he’s a janitor in case someone inflates the meaning of the word “comfortable”.
No income either?
With none of those debts and you still can’t pay monthly bills?

The government told me this was the strongest economy ever!
Yup - they're looking at the portfolios of the top 1%.
Gov. tells the truth LMAO
The government has always said one thing and his the truth.
The government says that the consumer economy is strong…. Which means people are spending money and apparently money they don’t have. If you actually knew the meaning of words then you would understand the government is telling all of us to our face the truth.
C’mon man it’s Bidenomics!
It's the same here in Canada. The fun has really gone out of life when you can't have the odd outing, and have to spend everything on necessities! Love your channel, Brian!
Rising delinquency and defaults while the dow hit a record 40k?! That level of irony is enough to cure an anemic individual.
🤣True, well said. I feel we're reliving 1928-1929, in so many ways.
@@rjparker2414the biggest difference from then to now is we have credit. In the Great Depression if you didn't have cash or trade you didn't eat.
@@3smoke During the Great Depression, little credit was extended - that's true - but that was largely in response to stock market crash/ bank failures, due to huge amounts of (eventually unpaid/ defaulted) credit which was extended in late 1920s. Lots of credit was given then, via loans/ installment payments/ "margin buying", which led many to speculate in the stock market/ buy furniture/ houses, etc - with very little down. Contributed to "house of cards".
Most of my money goes straight to rent and groceries with not much left over. Rinse and repeat month over month…I’m stuck
You explained it perfectly… “Rinse and repeat…”
Same here
There with you,I keep expecting to get ahead in 3-5 months but by that time I have extra bills keeping my head above water
You are not alone.

Thanks Brian 👍🏻
Go Brian!
I went the other way 5 years ago. Paid off all cc cards and car loans..all I do now is hoard money and metals
As long this Administration keeps moving the goal posts the economy is Better than ever!
Administration? It’s the fed rising rates. And Biden didn’t appoint them, Trump did it. As soon as they lower rates, people’s debts will drop. But they’re political and won’t drop rates until after the election.
Remember, "if voting worked, they wouldn't let us do it."

Politicians are throwing us under the bus. Postponing things sending our money to other countries. I've never felt this sick of American politics. Until they change things will change
HOW AM I DOING??? WELL LET ME SEE IM SLEEPING IN MY CAR, AND INFLATION CONTINUES FOOD ETC.
I have never seen how bad things are ever. Brian, my family and I are law-abiding citizens that feel we have been betrayedby our government.
That’s because you have been since Biden

The best thing anyone can do is get themselves out of debt and stay out as best you can. Live as under your means as you can. Depending on officals or government isn't gonna get us anywhere, its up to us to help ourselves and our neighbors.

I never eat out but recently did and for two people for vegan burgers and fries and an ice tea it was over $50.00. I told my husband I am NEVER doing that again. I feel violated.
I eat fast food,but ONLY the “special” item usually going to 2 or more places I can usually eat for under 4-5$

As an US immigrant from a developing country and grew up seeing poor people suffer from their lack of any sort of resources, I have to say even the current situation in US is far worse and maybe more, but there is plenty of bad things we can take before saying “we are doomed”. Comparing us to the world population, our current problem is just “less privileged”. Adjusting the expectations and enjoy what we still have, and I am grateful each day that I can have the opportunity to live in this country.
Thank you! It's about learning from your mistakes and keeping expectations in check. I live on 60% of takehome pay, just to make sure that I don't stress about money, and no keeping up with the Joneses.
Quit sucking up to the yanks..they are overly proud anyway and don't need encouraging . Think religion.....god-nuts, jesus-freaks, gun-nuts....there is much to be improved......

Biden wants to give guaranteed basic income to migrants coming in. It make me want to do some evil things

Abolish the federal reserve !
Abolish fractional reserve banking and CBDC
And the electoral college.
wild times we're living in. So many people live to impress others and spend way above their means. Its going to destroy them.
Car insurance and house insurance has been the killer for me, $400 total to $850
same here our home insurance doubled from $450 to $850. We used to be able to pay it all at once and now we have to make payments on it.
Our home insurance went up to 1500.00 this year! Outrageous.
Yupper my car is 586 with myself and 18yr old. House was in the 400s before I sold

Yeah because people stopped having kids. So now we have terrible debt and budget deficits and high immigration. No way out of this situation, it will only get worse

Well, it's easy to be "classy, lavish" when you go around the world stealing and bringing the loot back home, while leaving the victims in shambles.

Hard truths, sinking ship together; indeed. Thanks for the always needed brutal truth, we would never hear this from D.C.
I feel so lucky and blessed that I’ve been debt free since 2018. So many sacrifices that lead up to being debt free it was very hard to do without things ,
I tapped out and filed chapter 7. I was working 3 jobs trying to pay credit cards and keep up with rent. Now it’s all gone away and I only have rent.
Smart move !
Exactly. F*** the credit card vampires...... I have no sympathy for them exploiting people at 29 percent apr
Life goes on!!!!
Yep, just don't walk the same road and get yourself back into debt
do the Dave Ramsey plan
I was born in the 1970’s. I remember that people did not have access to easy credit like today. It was a totally different standard of living, you didn’t see the big homes, multiple cars or eating out like today. I have a feeling those days are coming back soon.
Very true, even well into 80s, most people did not have visa or mc
They had their sears or wards card and gas cards
That’s because companies stopped giving raises and pushed the debt economy so people wouldn’t notice they weren’t making more, they were borrowing more
@@whisk3y6 China and Japan also bought large amounts of US debt thereby pushing interest rates down. That enabled US citizens access to cheap goods. The former combined with easy credit has led us to we are today.
It has to.
@@MaSa-bp5qeNo it doesn’t.
DEBT Delinquency Equals Borrowed Time. Time's up!
That's it.
Don't be lazy with your finances - shop car insurance, health insurance, cable and ISPs. Those things alone saved us over 11k a year. Canceled the pool guy, mow my own lawn, eat less and buy what is on sale, change your own oil. I never drink Land Shark beer, but it was Bogo this week so guess what I'm drinking 🤣
I've spent many years using Dave Ramsey debt snowball. I just made some big payoffs this year and my only debt is my house. Everything else is paid off.
🫵👍
I feel fortunate that the only debt I have is a 3% mortgage on a house with 60% equity, but it didn't happen by mistake. Stay away from auto debt, cc debt, and pay your student loans off as fast as humanly possible. Life sure is a lot less stressful that way.
Same here our loan is like 3.6 and we hope to get the house paid off within five years
Same. Avoid credit cards and car loans like the plague. And student loans. Been there done that
All of our current situations are looking bad.
America is the land of opportunity, opportunity to borrow and in debt for life 😊
Over 35 Trillion dollars of unsustainable debt is my concern
100
So far.
You forgot to mention they are Hiding free energy, they are Killing us for their greed
Don't concern yourself with things you cannot control.
Don't forget the $72 trillion plus in unfunded liabilities (SS & Medicare).
$120 trillion if you count Federal, veteran's, and military pensions.
Unfortunately, our government does not set a good example by running astronomical deficits. Hard to tell people to constrain yourself when you are spending like there's no tomorrow.
$1 Trillion / 100 days new debt.
Non regulated Immigration , not our war
Well said
As long as our greatest "ally" gets their money that's all that matters!!!?!?
We put em there. Our fault.
This country is ridiculous
During Covid the federal government deferred all federal student loan payments. I took the opportunity to keep on paying because of the 0% interest. I was able to pay it all off before they reinstated interest payments. Best feeling ever.
"You will own nothing and be happy"🤔?
🚫, I think people are going to be 😡 as hell.
I don’t think so, nation has been subdued with alcohol, drugs and medication.
Kids today have no reference point. In the 70's people were sure the government was going to collapse with oil. In 89 it was another "great" recession and everyone was screwed. In 2008 it happened again and nobody ever thought they were going to own homes again and the end of the country was coming. Recessions come and go. it's how it's always been. Just make good choices though it, like you should have saved money, not takin out big auto loans, and running up credit card debt. And don't tell me people can't afford food. Americans own and buy so much shit compared to any other society, they can do without most it. And they eat too much to begin with so lessen the calories.
Everyone is going to be Naked and Afraid!
They mean that those who are unhaply are either meficated zombies or...no longer using oxygen.
Umm...pretty clear that they mean if you arent "happy" one way or another you just wont... Be.
With the cost of groceries right now, telling friends and family to watch their spending goes hand in hand with watching their waistline.

Thank you Brian for another excellent update ! Going forward, imagine if unemployment starts accelerating and we see a deterioration of the labor market. The delinquencies you discussed are going to rise even more dramatically. What has always helped me is what my parents from the Depression always taught me: You do not spend what you do not have.
All of us should stop paying Taxes. Collectively
Let us know how it goes😅
Wesley Snipes tried that
half of america doesn't , hasn't helped much. Taxes these days are just the pretty magicians assistant who is the distraction as they create most of the money out of thin air.....It's Magic.
Why should we pay taxes when they can just print money?
Taxes are needed and not really the issue. It’s the spending
Expenses are rising faster than wages. Things are absolutely getting worse and worse. Debt is keeping us from reaching our goals!
It’s getting real bad out there folks
So why don’t you stop whining & use your legendary work ethic to go revitalize your home country.
Yet, many realtors want rates to drop so asset prices & inflation can surge higher while our wages stay flat. Make it make sense.
SO SO happy paid literally all my debt off today
Just learn, and don't get back in debt again, just because you have "good credit".
I just came across this channel and am binge-watching the videos. I love how complex current financial topics are simply and eloquently explained. It’s important to know these things, but most of us don’t have the time to delve into it deeply. Keep up the great work!

I would feel sorry for my fellow Americans. But then I remember they called Ron Paul crazy for predicting everything right that we all now have to endure.
Hope those Romney and Obama votes were worth it.

If interest rates don’t drop, the trend will continue. I see the panic in peoples faces everywhere I go.
Services all up 5 to 10%. Products all up 5 to 10%. Government inflation? 3.4%. uh huh... Sure
Products up only 5-10?
I have seen some things double their prices tbh. I see at least 25% mark up on every single thing.
That's RATE of inflation. It doesn't mean that prices have gone down, or that prices aren't currently inflated.

The situation will get worst. Due to the fact that food, gas, and housing are increasing so yes people will turn to credit cards trying to stay afloat.

More money for Ukraine and Israel though
So you can sell more Coke overseas.
of course, for them free money

Thank you so much, Brian! I love your videos!
Debt is like crack to Americans.
It's because modern banking and lending have given lending steroids, so much that it needs more and more subscribers to stay afloat, and can't just rely on good borrowers to cover losses, because there aren't enough good borrowers after everything requiring some form of debt, to prove you are trustworthy.
Especially the Govt!
but the debt is killing even the responsible because the cost to live has gone up so much

Stolen comment
Always keeping it real with raw facts and no judgments
The government is all to blame for this. They gave stimulus so everyone increased their prices. Government gives tax credits for EV’s their prices skyrocketed. Government paying off student loans so college costs go up 9%. Government force Resturants to increase wages so those costs go up.
once people get used to not paying for anything, they just want to continue paying nothing.
I have zero CC debt, 820 Credit score… but I don’t own a home. I don’t have a car payment, my car is 14 years old, hoping to keep it going. For now , I’m concentrating my daughter’s full tuition bill to avoid her having loans when she graduates in two years. I plan to help her also pay down the federal loans. I want her to have a clean slate when she graduates. I’m 52 now, I hope I can heavily invest when she is done with school and have a shot at living a simple life at retirement. I can only hope….
Bad move

The last thing people go delinquent on is your mortgage but if things dont change very soon foreclosure will follow

I don’t think so. People are holding on to their homes because rent is more expensive. Maybe if student debt is really bad that the government starts garnishing wages. But that’s about it.
