It happens a lot around us in society; Interest rates, unemployment, inflation, wars, supply chain issues, politics and so on ... We can't control anything of this. What we CAN control is how we conduct our self everyday. What we do to learn new skills. Whether we make sound decisions everyday that we think might take us to a better place. In today's society you will find so much noise and "sensory pollution". We need to filter out everything that doesn't matter and all the things that doesn't add value to our life (and trust me ... a LOT qualifies to that description), and then we need to focus on what adds value long term. Spend time together with close family and friends, build a career. Use your hours on what really matters. I promise your ... if you are willing to stay on that path ... you will be rewarded. Not necessarily as a billionaire or something wild like that, but you will increase your chances of having a good life considerably. 🙂
Let me clue you in. When Trump left office the S&P 500 was about 2100 and now it is 5600. The economy has done great under Biden, for investors. This type of thing has been going on for 30 years. A disconnect between the working class and investor class. If you are not into stocks and relying solely on your labor to make money, you have a hard road ahead.
@@daytonjohn777 I don’t say this to brag on it but to give hope and knowledge. When I was 19 I was homeless with substance abuse problems. I worked my way back into society and worked my way up. I always lived a frugal life as best I could never spending on lavish things and driving old cars. I always invested in company 401ks and in my own Roth IRAs at least 20% a year. These were not always high paying jobs either. I am a few years from retirement. Anybody can retire with 2 million if they start young in their early 20s, have investment discipline and live a simple life.
@@toddhendricks1727 glad to hear Todd you overcame all of those hardships. Most don’t bounce back, thanks for some inspiration today! Appreciate you for sharing this

Great topic, The volume is too low though. Btw Trump said he would not tax any overtime on paychecks. That would be Great for a the working class
but that doesn't matter when trump, just like the other party. supports mass legal immigration. legal is just as bad illegal immigration for americans
