It's refreshing to hear someone admit that his success wasn't solely based on his hard work but that the bar was lower and allowed for more people to develop their human potential.

Well with inflation a million is not what it used to be…
@@Chad_Max Keep in mind that many of these newly minted millionaires came into their wealth as a result of the massive spike in home values rather than sheer industriousness on their part. Don’t get me wrong, purchasing a home has generally always required a degree of work ethic, but this is phenomena is more of a case of right-place right-time than anything.
I started my first job in 1985 and a few years later, I set the goal to have $1 million saved by the time I retired. I'm 3 years from retirement and hit that goal last year, but I now know I should have moved that goal post further out to $1.5 million or more. I remember as a kid thinking millionaires were these people who lived like demi-gods among all us serfs. Now I am one and still don't feel any different from a serf.
@@MosheerEllyStephanie Janis hooked me up with a late-stage fund that got me in on private shares of some hot companies before they hit the market or blew up. Those investments totally paid off when the companies went public and their stocks shot up. Now, I'm stoked because l'm heading into retirement with almost a million bucks in my portfolio.
@@FradAnnerI know this FA, Stephanie Janis Stiefel but only by her reputation at Neuberger Berman ; even though she's now involved in managing portfolios and providing investmnt guidance to clients. I have been trying to get in contact since l watched her interview on WSJ last month.
You get used to it. lam a net worth seven figure guy for 6 years now. Actually had seven figures in all retirement accounts as of 2020. Had seven figures in just one account this year. I still drive the same car I bought 23 years ago. Everyone who sees me thinks I'm the poorest of the poor because I don't even wear a watch or "dress to impress" now.
Sorry to burst your bubble but $1M in 1985 is equivalent to $2.9M today. You are still doing well but it demonstrates the reality of inflation. If you live 20 years in retirement odds are you will need 2X as mcuh per year as compared to the when starting retirement
in 1970 we used to give new workers on average 2-4 weeks training. Today we give employees about 5 days training before we fire or determine if they will work out.
I got certified in a new field & never got a job cause every place wanted year’s experience. I would ask how’s anyone new supposed to gain this experience? Nothing. Common sense is gone.
Most employers have forgotten what it means to compete for workers. Employers just want to hire someone with 10+ years work experience who is willing to work for cents on the dollar.
the older generation no longer care about creating a better world that only their children will experience, instead exploit it as much as you can before you go
I literally had a boomer pointed out to me that I could have bought vacation homes instead of paying for education and activities of my 3 children. I am Gen X.
@Jakes4567 None of this matters if young people can't have a decent life economically. I am GenX and I got lucky with the right career choice in the 1990s. But I can see that people would not be able to do as good as I did in terms of buying a house and raising a family today, even if they went the same career.
My man here admitting that it's an intergenerational / class centric conflict of interest in the western world today. He's saying the quiet part out loud and should absolutely be lauded for having the courage to do so.
I'm 60 and this is nothing new. If you want your children to have the best education, you live on the east coast. You live where the property taxes are the highest because they have the best educational infrastructure, the best well paid teachers, the best education programs. When parents started going to schools to complain that their Childs grades weren't good enough and blaming the teachers, that began the 'dumbing down' of America. It pressured schools to become not just teachers, but victims of children bad behavior because parent were over-worked, under paid and absent from their children lives. Children took it out on teachers and parents fought to hold THEM responsible because they didn't have it in them to deal with it themselves. it was and is a disaster.
He's a smoke screen. Let me break down the game for you. It all comes down to this: political corruption. Ok? Get it through your heads. It's not "the boomers", it's "the VOTERS", it's "the politicians", it's "the lobbyists", it's the "multinational mega corporations" seeking to control, it's the "old money families" aka the hidden hand, it's the "foreign states" and "globalists" who want to draw your power and wealth out into the world. Nationalism has been demonized because it focuses all the power and wealth internally.
Nah, he just panders to the youth to make money, think about it this way, he's a boomer that self admits to have all the boomer privileges telling people that his generation has taken advantage of, how unfair he has treated them...hmmmm...maybe speak through action more than words?
I’m 33 and I feel like I’ve gained more insight into what the wealthy are doing and why in the last hour, watching Scott Galloway speak across various videos, than I have in the last 20 years of listening to politicians consistently distract people with misdirection and lies. Bravo Scott.
If you don't mind the nightmares, learn more about project 2025. ProPublica has posted at least 14 of the 23 'training' videos. You can also find one on Russell Vought where he defines his plot for treason should Trump take office and how the groundwork has already been laid. I also recommend Brian Tyler Cohens book 'Shameless'. The history that is repeating itself currently is explained in a very edifying manner. Knowledge is Power.
There is a reason the birth rate is imploding... When young individuals are delaying marriage into their 30s and we have the highest number of individuals living with their parents since WW2 you know society is broken. The younger generations are not even able to afford a home... how on earth do you expect us to start a family?
My college tuition was raised by $5,000 during my time as a student. I pressed them time and time again to release the budget because they removed extra-circulars, but didn't add any new programs. They told me as a private university they didn't need to release any finances. It was incredibly frustrating.
@@josealexi5141 Yes, it was one of the top rated engineering schools in the region and got me internships every summer along with my first 2 jobs out of college, specifically because I am an alumni. 80% of my tuition was covered from scholarships so I never saw the full increase, but I pressed the school for students without scholarships.
The people who voted against student loan forgiveness refuse to vote on banning congressional insider stock trading. It’s hard growing up in an environment where your own government hates you more than they love money for themselves.
Why should 2/3’s of the country that didn’t go to college pay off the loans of the 1/3 that did? As to insider stock trading, you have to prove they broke the law and they used their own money, not loaned money.
As a person that has a Masters license in Plumbing, I want to point out a number of states require 4 years of schooling at night, along with 4 years of 8 hours a day working to just become a Journeyman plumber. This also true of a number of trades. We don't just show up and are trained on the job and i hope Scott Galloway understands this. The reason it takes 4 years, is there is a lot to learn both in school and in field working. One of the greatest blessings that has been for working in a trade, is can fix 95% of any issues in my home. I really like Scott take on where we are going. Average age of a tradesman is 45. If people think plumbers are expensive now, wait until there is the work force has shrunk more and the cost of labor has really gone up. Average journeyman plumber is making between $40 to $60 per hour depending on the state they work.
Very well said! I’m a journeyman electrician and turning 27 years old in two months. An apprenticeship in a skilled trade is not an easy pathway as most people would like to believe. You are spot on with the schooling, field experience, and all the overtime required.
@@MrToradragon I and many others had to figure things out for myself while dealing with all the guilt tripping, shaming, insults and bullying from other people around me when I chose pre-apprenticeship way back in high school. Also, you older folks back then could work any type of job (blue, white, service collar) and still make it to a comfortable middle class level or even upper middle class with relative ease. These days, not so much for my friends and I. For example, one of my mom friends (her and her husband) started working as grocery store clerks/cleaners back in the early 1970s. Eventually they worked their way up to store department managers but by the early 1980s, they both could afford a modest home, two children and a basic car in a city suburb with incomes that were only a few dollars more than minimum wage. These days, if any young person were to do that, they'd be financially broke and would have to work another 2-3 jobs just to barely skimp by.
@@alexsmith-ob3lu I know that my sentence seem bit old-fashioned, but I am not native speaker and I tried to be polite, no I am not member of older folks. I have just wondered, whether those fields are also subject of something that can be described as "qualification inflation" - situation where for the same job you need higher and higher education.
Mr Galloway has it right. We need to make things easier for young people and encourage a better future for them. Im 72, and my kids have done well, but I see many that arent. Those who don't succeed in life only cost us in heartbreak, grief, and loads of money. Whats wrong with thinking about our young people for a change.
Nice to see a comment from someone older than 30! I hope you were listening when he basically says your generation has the power, at the moment, to do something about this. Will you ask your local representatives what they are doing in your own community to help bring up young people and get them into good training, or speak to local schools about grants, I wonder? Thanks for contributing to the discussion!
I am 42 and finally able to buy a house becouse the cost is so big compared to my parents generation. I am even saving extra for my children so they can buy a house later in life. This man is spot on. Much respect from western Europe.
I am 70 and I’m hoping to pay off my house so when my son inherits it, he has some “generational wealth” passed to him without incurring debt. I worry far more about him (37yo) than I EVER have about me. Now I’m watching interest rates climb, food costs soar, house insurance becoming unaffordable etc. I hope my son will have a quality, healthy and fulfilling life and not have to struggle for basic needs. He’s a college graduate, put himself through school and struggles to get a middle class job.
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
Safe to say not everybody has the skill to pursue investing. But it's always easy to follow the advice of someone who knows how to i.e a financial advisor. You could anywhere between 10--40k with the right ones. Online businesses are a good bet too if you are savvy.
*Izella Annette Anderson* is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
Problem with doing trades is it absolutely destroys your body over 30 years and you end up with lifelong injuries that leave you unable to work at all.
Agreed. I've got a lot of pains from framing houses. But, if you're shrewd, committed, and even half bright you can become the foreman, the estimator, the owner, or realize how hard and dead end it is and spend your off hours in school or doing something new to advance. There's still a LOT of options for those willing to bust tail. I've fought and things are turning out.
My husband is an electrician had a huge company with a large payroll of 26 guys at one point but he had to stop at 45 because he ended up with a tick virus that almost killed him. He ended up having an emergency heart transplant 5 days after his heart went into a cardiac shock. Crazy I know. He was forced to retire and fortunately qualify on disability insurance. We luckily have his commercial investments as income and he still does light freelance work on certain size projects here and there but due to his condition it does wipe him out for days. He unfortunately has permanent neuropathy in his feet and hands from when he was in the ICU for 10 days on ECMO until his transplant so it’s in a lot of pain at times too. He loves to work and be outside but unfortunately life changed and it’s a tough for him. Trade work is great money but you have to be wise on how you invest in it for your future because trade is hard on the body. He luckily was wise enough to invest in commercial buildings for extra income little did he knew that his future would end up like this that he would survive on it.
I live in Portugal and I agree with you 100%! Once the body is gone you’re done!! And the wages are nothing to brag about here when it comes to construction!
It's shameful how the younger generations have been forced to work their butts off, done the right thing in getting educated or skilled, and may still struggle to obtain a middle class life. Further to that is the investment in to the very young- toddlers and k-12. Its shameful that you have to have rich parents to have a shot at a comfortable life. Older folks need to wake up and really understand the legacy they are leaving their kids and grandkids.
@@fatmonkey4716 By "found what worked", you mean they voted for politicians that gave them massive government handouts at the expense of younger generations?
I can't believe this guy is talking about the struggle of someone making $80k when I'm working 50-60 hours per week, hoping to make $45k. I think I'm doing the right things, but videos like this expose honestly that there is no carrot that I'm chasing, and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. This is heartbreaking and soul crushing.
I’m sorry you’re in a tough spot, brother. Maybe it’s time to make a drastic change. Would you consider joining the military for a few years? That’s what I did, and it was a big sacrifice in the short term but it has paid off big time long term. You can serve for three years, learn a new skillset, and then get out and the gov will pay your tuition and housing expenses while you pursue a degree. If that’s not something you’re interested in doing, find ways to improve your skillset so that you don’t get stuck in minimum wage jobs forever. There is hope. It’s just not going to be easy. Good luck.
If Harris gets into office and the Dems take the Senate and the House, you will see a lot of scuffling take place. Once the dust settles, things will be better. I'd recommend you go online and see if there is a vocational school within your reach, what programs they have and think about learning a trade. One thing about a learning a trade, you can take it with you wherever you go and once you have those skills, no one can take them from you. You can always grow and learn and that makes life interesting and fun. Aim high, keep going, don't give up and you WILL succeed. People may try to 'run interference'. Go around, behind or under them. Don't let them stand in your way.
He hits the nail on the head. I dropped out of school at 17 and started working. It took me approximately 10 years to get to the same level as my peers who went to college. However I have no debt, which enabled me to buy a house where a lot of people I know struggle. I feel I do not have much to look forward to in the future just like the rest of my generation. We have all been told go to college to win at life, yet most college graduates work mediocre jobs for mediocre pay and people who actually learned a trade get paid much better due to simple supply and demand. The world needs mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, nurses. We cannot live in a world of just doctors and lawyers. I hope it will get better but I am quite confident things will get much worse before they get better
I see what you see. College was a scam. I just bought my first home and wish I could get a carpenter to come out and reframe a an exterior door for me. I've had three in the last two years give me an estimate and then never make the time do the work.
@@tres5533 Scott was born November 3, 1964. Boomers are considered to be people born from 1946 to 1964, so he's a boomer by a scant 7 weeks. Almost an X-er.
Hurray for pointing out the need for vocational training/certifications!! SO many areas of our society struggle mightily to fill the need for skilled workers!! I’ve observed the respect that vocationally-trained individuals get in Germany. They make a good living and people don’t give them grief for not going to Uni! Our society (American) needs to adjust our attitude and not be such snobs!
The American Bourgeoisie sickens me as a rural poor person, and that's the representation that gets looked upon by the rest of the world. Rich vs. Poor is a tale as old as time itself.
I think we need more vocational training, but I think there should be free community college general education attached to that. I was against this whole "well rounded education" when I started community college, but City College of San Francisco is full of professors who changed my mind and showed me how powerful general education is. Because of that, I can formulate logical arguments to negotiate my salary and formulate better logic to contribute to my community. I'm so proud that CCSF is free now, and people can educate themselves. I just wish we could do this through the university level, because after City College, I had to take on massive debt to finish my 4 year degree. This wouldn't have been the case if I was in Europe.
It's crazy wages aren't going up, they wanna pay construction workers 20 an hr to show up with THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in tools. Entry level construction should pay what programming pays. Especially since construction is more important than anything other than farming. No society without building, plumbing, electricity, the internet, etc.
Due to the high cost of housing in comparison to my parents' generation, I am 42 years old and can now finally afford to buy a home. To help my kids buy a house in the future, I am even setting aside additional money for them now. This guy is right on. Huge admiration from the west of Europe.

nice conversation, but it is not the first instance of that kind of thing occurring in the US. It did really occur between 1929 and 1941, as well as in the late 1800s and mid-1900s. They must engage in more fruitful activities. One of my cousins is now a millionaire because I referred him to a Portolio manager.
TERRI ANNETTE MOORE is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I'm 33, at 18 my mom told me to go to college or get out. I was forced to go years before I was ready and now I can't go back because I'm $10,000 in debt. I've tried 6 times to go back to college and no one will accept me just because I have debt I can't pay back. I'm currently IT for NASA.
No, that is just a band-aid. Increase the number of houses, and those investors will quickly get out of the housing market. House should be places to live and raise a family, not investments.
@@MrCiaranm wrong, the problem can no longer just be built out of. It's wishful thinking and naive. Before we start increasing density, ban investors first. Then we can see where the supply and demand falls to know how many homes to build. Until you remove the investors out from the equation, you haven't done anything
@@jgg204 How does an "Investor Ban" work, I would assume the government decides who is an investor and prevents the sale. The thing is, government has tried to influence the housing market and investors for decades. Tax and mortgage deductions, favorable capital gains rules, business expense and depreciation deductions. None of it has worked to increase home ownership rates and there has been some success in business creation, but more and more it has just been manipulated to provide more to those that have. I believe the solution is for the government to wind down their support for investors and home ownership. When there is a market to simply build houses people want (reduce zoning and permitting red tape), where they want them, then a house as an investment will simply disappear. It will return to the past, houses as a place to live in a community.
Strippers & Drug dealers found a great way to supplement thier income while in college they paid thier tuition, rent ,cars,and some party favors at the same time maybe its time to get creative after all this is America its time to start thinking iut aide the BOX "LAW" 😂😂
Love Scott Galloway. You can tell he is emotional about this subject, there is a lot of care in there, and it takes courage to basically tell a room full of rich people that we need to do better for the kids. It seems like a no brainer, but we do close the door on so many kids every year.
And being happy to be paying those taxes. The fact that we are using our taxes to make a selective group rich is not the IRS fault. It's our politicians who are happy to show off their for sale signs.
I don't think he is wrong. But he also isn't overlaying enough of his thoughts with monetary and fiscal policies. Those are the root causes of so much of what he observes. And the US isn't unique in that regard by any means.
Been listening to Scott for years and never would have liked myself to have thought he could run for pres, but with the situation as it is - he is a very strong potential candidate, and a really great guy. I look up to him a lot, all the way from New Zealand.
He is warm-hearted, humorous, and knowledgeable. He has all the numbers/data in his head and that is why his talk can convince anyone. We need Scott as a leader
👏 Scott hits the nail on the head! It's time for society to address the unfair economic treatment of young people and advocate for policies that promote intergenerational equity and opportunity. Let's work towards a future where everyone has a fair shot at success and prosperity.
@@MagruderSpoots That's completely irrelevant, but yeah, communism has been working well. China is running state capitalism like Marx prescribed, and they're running laps around the west.
@@iverbrnstad791 China LOL. Buildings are falling down in China, bridges are falling down in China, concrete is being reinforced with bamboo made to look like steel rebar in China, people take oil out of the sewers (gutter oil they call it) and cooking with it, governments are corrupt at every level, demographic collapse is coming for China, environmental standards are non-existent. And there is no such thing as state capitalism. And Marx suggested no such thing.
This is the first time I’ve seen him mention ranked choice or a different voting method. And mentioning how little younger people’s votes are without money as leverage. It’s amazing seeing him dig deeper and evolving his message. He may be the only adult that understands the young population. (Look into STAR voting please).
The author Nevil Shute wrote a book that ranked voting was part of the way that world worked and the plot clearlyvshowed why it was important. Justvwish I could remember which of his books it was.
I cant tell you how refreshing it is as a Gen Z to hear someone from the older generation openly and honestly admitting that the system has been perfectly rigged against the younger generation, just so the old, rich and powerful can solidify their wealth and power. Thanks for hosting this talk, and thank you to Prof. Scott for his time.
I gew up extremely poor. My parent 's income was counted against me when applying for financial aid, even though they weren't helping me at all with college or any other assistance. So I had to wait til my late 20s to go to college and I still haven't been able to afford to finish my degree. I'm still paying off my loans from my AA. My friend's dad was a contractor. They had a swimming pool in their backyard. She got a Master's degree for free because she's a part of an ethnic minority.
This. Is. Gold. This interview needs to be shared on every major news outlet in the nation and every single politician needs to hear this. Thank you Scott!
I agree with mainly everything this guy says. The only thing I’ll add is that we have relied too much on the government to solve our problems but it will be in our homes where the future is made secure. The government takes more and power because we have depended on them more and more to fix what has been the result of the decay in our morality.
Usually, the government is the root cause of most of the nation's problems. It's definitely NOT the solution! Why should a bureaucrat of a department that's set up to solve a problem actually solve the problem hence eliminating its reason to exist?
@ 7:00 he says the U.S. spends the least per capita of any nation in the West. The National Center for Education Statistics lists expenditures per ffull-time-equivalent student for elementary and secondary education by OECD countries. Luxembourg in 2019 spent $25,600 per student and is the highest spender. Second is Norway, spending $18,000 per student. Tied for third place is Austria & S. Korea, spending $15,500 per student. Fourth is the U.S. spending $15,500 per student. Trailing behind is Iceland, Belgium, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Denmark, Canada, France, Finland, Italy, Czech, Japan, Portugal, Slovenia, Ireland, Spain, Israel, etc...
I can tell you from experience that going to a top university doesn’t necessarily mean you get the best education. I went to a top 5 (UK) university and a university ranked 30-ish because they were the few ones offering the course I wanted to do. It was so much better, smaller classes, better lecturer attention and it felt like they cared about my performance whereas at the top tier university, I was another one of 150+ students in my class, the lecturers had no real interest in their students (to be fair they have a lot of pressure to research, publish…etc). I learned more in the lower ranked university than the top one but undoubtedly it’s having the top tier university on my CV that landed me the job interviews. So now when people say to me, I went to this prestigious university it means nothing to me. It says more to me where you started, what you did and where you are now. It really is that simple.
A typical student on our State U campuses is paying $3k+ a month for tuition and shared housing/food and generally is lucky to make $1000 a month in income from a student or retail job.
Scott will you please run for president?? You seem to have America’s best interest at heart, a solid understanding of what ails us, and solutions that cut across party lines. On top of that, you are charismatic and captivating to countless people.
Something to add onto the young people starting behind because of student loan debt. It also happens with healthcare because having a baby is so expensive and medical debt is another thing that is exacerbating the problem for young people just trying to do normal life events (going to college, having a family, buying a house)
Exactly. Scott will do the rounds, get paid for it, and those with power will ignore him and go on business as usual and forget it in favor of their next trendy tv series about people as wealthy as the speaker.
@@charleskaplan3567 They deleted my last comment. America with all its talk about rights, freedom, and constitutional rights, entities, like WSJ sure have a hard time with the truth. I dare not criticize the great "Scott Galloway." As a veteran that thank goodness does not live in the hypocritical country of America any more, this is typical.
@@biashacker Well these, "thought leaders", are all that these corporations have in order to keep people working for underpaid jobs in inflation economies. Nothing can be done. They own everything even thought.
The reality is a lot of these universities have incredible administrative bloat. I got into a public university that had a $1B endowment (tbf a lot went to research) and barely had any scholarships available. I had to withdraw and go to a tier 2 university. There is so much cost cutting that could happen at most universities that would make it so students don't have to fork over so much money. But a lot of universities operate as a research and hedge fund facility.
Younger millennial. Bit the bullet and bought my home in 2021, because it was so much more expensive to rent. Previous owners bought it for $250k ten years ago. Did zero work or updating on it. I got it for $700k and that was UNDER the market value. It's not a great house, its four walls and a roof and has a furnace. I'm never gonna retire or have a kid and I'll be housepoor forever, but at least I'm not renting from a corporate slum lord, I guess? I should have bought a home in 2009 like all my elderly coworkers keep saying, but I was literally a child so that makes it a teensy bit more difficult. So yeah, what's the point of anything?
ouch, i hope the house doesn't become a burden for you with all the taxes and insurance issues we have going on this country. I bought my first place in 2010 for 150k (a townhouse) and then 305k in 2016 (single family). I can't imagine the costs of 700k right now, it's giving me anxiety.
I agree with everything he’s saying except Social Security. I have worked since I was 16 years old and and I am owed every dime. This being said, wealthy people who don’t need it should not take it. Scott Galloway is extremely wealthy so he doesn’t understand that the vast majority of American seniors need Social Security to survive.
If you listen to other videos where Scott talks about Social Security, he specifically mentions about the wealthy not taking it, and that they should tax more higher income levels to fund it.
Agreed, his SS take is nonsense! Social security isn’t transferring wealth from young to old, it isn’t an “entitlement” as many likely to claim either. It’s something we all pay into till we can retire and then if we live long enough to retire… we can get some of what we put in back. So if you start working full time at 18 and retire at 67 (the current full retirement age), that’s nearly 50 years, just to get maybe some back maybe 10 to 15 years. Those years are also the years we are likely to be dealing with health issues, so it’s hardly “golden years”.
Living to 100 How can we afford it? (WEF). Look for the table about Unfunded Liabilities. Everyone it says it all really. The World Leaders are moving away from the 1940s era Welfare State. Time to plan to live well now because past 50 looks pretty f#@$ed.
SS is set to be insolvent by 2043. So, in 10 years it’s pretty much gonna start going by the wayside. The only way people are getting it now, is by the people who are currently paying into it. Then it runs out for the next generation?? Stop sending American tax dollars overseas- problem solved
I'm 38 and am doing worse financially than my parents, and grandparents. Health screws me over badly, and the economic jobs conditions around me are bleak. I'll never own property, I'll never be able to do more than the last two generations of my family. He is correct about all of it.
I knew GenZrs were checked out and gone when i saw the videos that surfaced online after the travis scott concert... Seeing kids singing and dancing around scores of dead bodies(their own peers), and seeing they are that desensitized to death, without even being in a war zone, is horrifying. Im legitimately fearful of what America is going to be like in the near future.
@@greggoat6570 Unless you are a Believer in the Gospel, believe in their heart that Jesus is God's son and paid the price for each person's sin, and accept that He is Savior and King. Surrender to him and he will answer you.
He's on to something but he really didn't answer any of the question of : Why should we push more people into colleges if there is a surplus ''education'' crisis? That question went straight over Galloway's head. The bottom line is : half the problem is not that people don't have access to college, it's that too many are afforded to think they do without reasonable payoff for degrees that are worth nothing and are only ideological indoctrination. Those useless degrees are of course the most profitable for universities because there is no fundamental requirement and investment required into selling them, only having someone brain dead enough to teach it. The other half of the college problem is that for them to have such massive endowments, they need to surcharge students by massive margins, otherwise there is no money to pour into it. Here's a suggestion : An institution receiving taxpayer's money should not be able to be operated like a for profit hedge fund selling classes and taxpayer's money needs to come with very strict strings attached related to pricing and the usefulness of degrees. Student loans should also be directly tied to the ability of the borrower to repay using their degree, it is insanity that anyone could take on any amount of debt for any type of degree. Here's another suggestion : Massively fund trade schools with the same principles. There needs to be much more thought put into the priorities of what type of education actually matters and pushing people into those avenues instead of selling some liberal arts degrees. This is only covering education though. Half the other problems Galloway mentionned have nothing to do with education and he definitely has a point about the generational wealth transfer from young to old. Society has become a ponzi scheme for the old.
The people teaching at those universities are adjuncts, part-timers with no healthcare or benefits. The educators at these places certainly aren't benefitting. You get brain-dead educators at these jobs because the people with brains refuse to be adjuncts with their PhDs and instead leverage their degrees by teaching abroad or by leaving the profession.
He's great, he's honest and admits how he got to where he is and divulges the flaws in the system. His heart is all for bringing balance, because the scales are one sided and corrupt. What he discusses is extremely significant, because it impacts all of humanity.
He's right. The market gains were responsible for 80% of the inflation. Inflation is created by wealth inequality. Only those who have excess income to buy assets create asset inflation.
The government didn't take your money and store it in an interest-bearing account for you: They took some of your money and immediately handed it to some seniors at the time you earned it. Now the only way to earn "interest" is to demand that young people hand you even more money than you yourself handed away previously. What could possibly go wrong with such a system?
@@justinbarron5885 You have explained “what is done” with my money while the topic under scrutiny was “why it is my money” and not a “transfer of wealth” as the professor states in the video. Had the government not taken my money, I would have invested it in an interest bearing account. That is what is rightfully owed by those who took it. It wasn’t a gift. It was mine, taken from me with a promise from my government to return it with interest. What they have done with my money does not negate the promise or what is owed.
I'm 78 and work with millennials and GenZs. They are much more concerned with their love relationships than with politics or even paying the rent -- just as I was at that age. Soon enough paying the rent and their place in society will add to their concerns. This is my first introduction to Scott Galloway and I am deeply appreciative of his compassion and take on reality. My faith in the ability of the young ones to take on the world we've given them, for better and for worse, is stronger than my fears. Let us have strong shoulders to carry them onwards.
people need to stop striving to become wealthy and a millionaire. this greedy mindset is the number one problem with the world and why younger generations are being neglected.
Issue is, that being a millionaire is the only way to live a comfortable life. It seems the cost of living has adjusted to reflect millionaires lifestyle only. If you’re an average Joe working a normal job you’re pretty much living in abstract poverty. It wasn’t like this 50 years ago
@@VinsLeMans i'd rather be in poverty than particpate in a rat race to make more money than the next guy, the only way people become wealthy is if people below them get taken advantage of. directly or indirectly. its usually indirectly
Glad to hear this. First step is acknowledging there are problems. As a dad, I’m hopeful we can make some meaningful change to help our kids avoid some of these same issues.
Scott was having an economic conversation about improving the quality of lives of young people by creating more opportunities, and my “good” host says it sounds political and pivots to GAZA!!
From a self made millionaire now at 29 growing up in the uk countryside with a single parent on benefits you’ve nailed it mate. The script has been lost, people divided and misguided. Life is better shared rather than exclusive. Time for the old boys to step up
If the electorate were actually educated, we wouldn’t have many of the voting issues Scott speaks of. Ignorance is a far greater pandemic than anything any of us will even see in our lifetimes.
I didn't think it was possible to experience so many negative emotions for so long while trying absolutely everything to cope and be a good person thanks to what was described in the talk.
It's refreshing to hear someone admit that his success wasn't solely based on his hard work but that the bar was lower and allowed for more people to develop their human potential.
Well with inflation a million is not what it used to be…
@@Chad_Max Keep in mind that many of these newly minted millionaires came into their wealth as a result of the massive spike in home values rather than sheer industriousness on their part. Don’t get me wrong, purchasing a home has generally always required a degree of work ethic, but this is phenomena is more of a case of right-place right-time than anything.

I started my first job in 1985 and a few years later, I set the goal to have $1 million saved by the time I retired. I'm 3 years from retirement and hit that goal last year, but I now know I should have moved that goal post further out to $1.5 million or more.

You get used to it. lam a net worth seven figure guy for 6 years now. Actually had seven figures in all retirement accounts as of 2020. Had seven figures in just one account this year. I still drive the same car I bought 23 years ago. Everyone who sees me thinks I'm the poorest of the poor because I don't even wear a watch or
"dress to impress" now.
Sorry to burst your bubble but $1M in 1985 is equivalent to $2.9M today. You are still doing well but it demonstrates the reality of inflation. If you live 20 years in retirement odds are you will need 2X as mcuh per year as compared to the when starting retirement

If employers complain there is a shortage of trained workers, train more people. Dude makes sense.
in 1970 we used to give new workers on average 2-4 weeks training. Today we give employees about 5 days training before we fire or determine if they will work out.
These companies and others want American Taxpayers to do and pay for it .
I got certified in a new field & never got a job cause every place wanted year’s experience. I would ask how’s anyone new supposed to gain this experience? Nothing. Common sense is gone.
Most workers are too lazy.
Most employers have forgotten what it means to compete for workers. Employers just want to hire someone with 10+ years work experience who is willing to work for cents on the dollar.

As part of a generation no one cares about (Gen X) who feels trapped in the middle, I agree with you.
I'm 60 and this is nothing new. If you want your children to have the best education, you live on the east coast. You live where the property taxes are the highest because they have the best educational infrastructure, the best well paid teachers, the best education programs. When parents started going to schools to complain that their Childs grades weren't good enough and blaming the teachers, that began the 'dumbing down' of America. It pressured schools to become not just teachers, but victims of children bad behavior because parent were over-worked, under paid and absent from their children lives. Children took it out on teachers and parents fought to hold THEM responsible because they didn't have it in them to deal with it themselves. it was and is a disaster.

It's not "the boomers", it's "the VOTERS", it's "the politicians", it's "the lobbyists", it's the "multinational mega corporations" seeking to control, it's the "old money families" aka the hidden hand, it's the "foreign states" and "globalists" who want to draw your power and wealth out into the world.

My college tuition was raised by $5,000 during my time as a student. I pressed them time and time again to release the budget because they removed extra-circulars, but didn't add any new programs. They told me as a private university they didn't need to release any finances. It was incredibly frustrating.
they added unnecessary administrative bloat -- Scott nailed this sooo well
Yale has more administrators on staff than it has undergraduates.
That's not a joke, or hyperbole, that's a fact.

@@josealexi5141 Yes, it was one of the top rated engineering schools in the region and got me internships every summer along with my first 2 jobs out of college, specifically because I am an alumni. 80% of my tuition was covered from scholarships so I never saw the full increase, but I pressed the school for students without scholarships.
The people who voted against student loan forgiveness refuse to vote on banning congressional insider stock trading. It’s hard growing up in an environment where your own government hates you more than they love money for themselves.
Why should 2/3’s of the country that didn’t go to college pay off the loans of the 1/3 that did? As to insider stock trading, you have to prove they broke the law and they used their own money, not loaned money.
As a person that has a Masters license in Plumbing, I want to point out a number of states require 4 years of schooling at night, along with 4 years of 8 hours a day working to just become a Journeyman plumber. This also true of a number of trades. We don't just show up and are trained on the job and i hope Scott Galloway understands this. The reason it takes 4 years, is there is a lot to learn both in school and in field working. One of the greatest blessings that has been for working in a trade, is can fix 95% of any issues in my home. I really like Scott take on where we are going. Average age of a tradesman is 45. If people think plumbers are expensive now, wait until there is the work force has shrunk more and the cost of labor has really gone up. Average journeyman plumber is making between $40 to $60 per hour depending on the state they work.
Very well said!
I’m a journeyman electrician and turning 27 years old in two months. An apprenticeship in a skilled trade is not an easy pathway as most people would like to believe. You are spot on with the schooling, field experience, and all the overtime required.
YES.
My brother is a mechanic and it’s similar for him
If I may ask, how did this requirement, if you are able to tell, had changed from, let's say 70's to present day?
@@MrToradragon I and many others had to figure things out for myself while dealing with all the guilt tripping, shaming, insults and bullying from other people around me when I chose pre-apprenticeship way back in high school.
Also, you older folks back then could work any type of job (blue, white, service collar) and still make it to a comfortable middle class level or even upper middle class with relative ease. These days, not so much for my friends and I.
For example, one of my mom friends (her and her husband) started working as grocery store clerks/cleaners back in the early 1970s. Eventually they worked their way up to store department managers but by the early 1980s, they both could afford a modest home, two children and a basic car in a city suburb with incomes that were only a few dollars more than minimum wage. These days, if any young person were to do that, they'd be financially broke and would have to work another 2-3 jobs just to barely skimp by.
@@alexsmith-ob3lu I know that my sentence seem bit old-fashioned, but I am not native speaker and I tried to be polite, no I am not member of older folks.

Those who don't succeed in life only cost us in heartbreak, grief, and loads of money. Whats wrong with thinking about our young people for a change.
Nice to see a comment from someone older than 30! I hope you were listening when he basically says your generation has the power, at the moment, to do something about this. Will you ask your local representatives what they are doing in your own community to help bring up young people and get them into good training, or speak to local schools about grants, I wonder? Thanks for contributing to the discussion!

Nice copy and paste comments that imply you're both not authentic. I doubt you're commenting in good faith. What's your agenda?
If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.
Safe to say not everybody has the skill to pursue investing. But it's always easy to follow the advice of someone who knows how to i.e a financial advisor. You could anywhere between 10--40k with the right ones. Online businesses are a good bet too if you are savvy.

Problem with doing trades is it absolutely destroys your body over 30 years and you end up with lifelong injuries that leave you unable to work at all.
Agreed. I've got a lot of pains from framing houses. But, if you're shrewd, committed, and even half bright you can become the foreman, the estimator, the owner, or realize how hard and dead end it is and spend your off hours in school or doing something new to advance. There's still a LOT of options for those willing to bust tail. I've fought and things are turning out.
If you do mindful practices like Yoga and have a good RMT. Your body will survive a lot longer.
My husband is an electrician had a huge company with a large payroll of 26 guys at one point but he had to stop at 45 because he ended up with a tick virus that almost killed him. He ended up having an emergency heart transplant 5 days after his heart went into a cardiac shock. Crazy I know. He was forced to retire and fortunately qualify on disability insurance. We luckily have his commercial investments as income and he still does light freelance work on certain size projects here and there but due to his condition it does wipe him out for days. He unfortunately has permanent neuropathy in his feet and hands from when he was in the ICU for 10 days on ECMO until his transplant so it’s in a lot of pain at times too. He loves to work and be outside but unfortunately life changed and it’s a tough for him. Trade work is great money but you have to be wise on how you invest in it for your future because trade is hard on the body. He luckily was wise enough to invest in commercial buildings for extra income little did he knew that his future would end up like this that he would survive on it.

I’m sorry you’re in a tough spot, brother. Maybe it’s time to make a drastic change. Would you consider joining the military for a few years? That’s what I did, and it was a big sacrifice in the short term but it has paid off big time long term. You can serve for three years, learn a new skillset, and then get out and the gov will pay your tuition and housing expenses while you pursue a degree.
If that’s not something you’re interested in doing, find ways to improve your skillset so that you don’t get stuck in minimum wage jobs forever. There is hope. It’s just not going to be easy. Good luck.
If Harris gets into office and the Dems take the Senate and the House, you will see a lot of scuffling take place. Once the dust settles, things will be better. I'd recommend you go online and see if there is a vocational school within your reach, what programs they have and think about learning a trade. One thing about a learning a trade, you can take it with you wherever you go and once you have those skills, no one can take them from you. You can always grow and learn and that makes life interesting and fun. Aim high, keep going, don't give up and you WILL succeed. People may try to 'run interference'. Go around, behind or under them. Don't let them stand in your way.
@josh what job are you doing? what skills do you have (or are learning) that will move you to 80K? 100k? 120K?

@@BradimooseWhen the younger gens act like idiots, they don't deserve leadership.
He hits the nail on the head. I dropped out of school at 17 and started working. It took me approximately 10 years to get to the same level as my peers who went to college. However I have no debt, which enabled me to buy a house where a lot of people I know struggle. I feel I do not have much to look forward to in the future just like the rest of my generation. We have all been told go to college to win at life, yet most college graduates work mediocre jobs for mediocre pay and people who actually learned a trade get paid much better due to simple supply and demand. The world needs mechanics, plumbers, carpenters, nurses. We cannot live in a world of just doctors and lawyers.
I hope it will get better but I am quite confident things will get much worse before they get better
I see what you see. College was a scam. I just bought my first home and wish I could get a carpenter to come out and reframe a an exterior door for me. I've had three in the last two years give me an estimate and then never make the time do the work.
We all make about the same amount of money.
Only a few of the trades pay very well.
And that work is not always scale pay.

Hurray for pointing out the need for vocational training/certifications!! SO many areas of our society struggle mightily to fill the need for skilled workers!! I’ve observed the respect that vocationally-trained individuals get in Germany. They make a good living and people don’t give them grief for not going to Uni!
Our society (American) needs to adjust our attitude and not be such snobs!
The American Bourgeoisie sickens me as a rural poor person, and that's the representation that gets looked upon by the rest of the world. Rich vs. Poor is a tale as old as time itself.
I think we need more vocational training, but I think there should be free community college general education attached to that. I was against this whole "well rounded education" when I started community college, but City College of San Francisco is full of professors who changed my mind and showed me how powerful general education is. Because of that, I can formulate logical arguments to negotiate my salary and formulate better logic to contribute to my community. I'm so proud that CCSF is free now, and people can educate themselves. I just wish we could do this through the university level, because after City College, I had to take on massive debt to finish my 4 year degree. This wouldn't have been the case if I was in Europe.
It's crazy wages aren't going up, they wanna pay construction workers 20 an hr to show up with THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS in tools. Entry level construction should pay what programming pays.

@@robertlee8805 you don’t need a masters degree to work in IT

Ban investor purchases of single family homes. Period. Even small mom and pops. No more investors buying single family homes
Or better yet, increase the supply of homes by getting rid of insane bureaucratic laws that boomers demanded to "protect their investments".
No, that is just a band-aid. Increase the number of houses, and those investors will quickly get out of the housing market. House should be places to live and raise a family, not investments.
@@MrCiaranm wrong, the problem can no longer just be built out of. It's wishful thinking and naive. Before we start increasing density, ban investors first. Then we can see where the supply and demand falls to know how many homes to build. Until you remove the investors out from the equation, you haven't done anything
@@jgg204 How does an "Investor Ban" work, I would assume the government decides who is an investor and prevents the sale. The thing is, government has tried to influence the housing market and investors for decades. Tax and mortgage deductions, favorable capital gains rules, business expense and depreciation deductions. None of it has worked to increase home ownership rates and there has been some success in business creation, but more and more it has just been manipulated to provide more to those that have.
I believe the solution is for the government to wind down their support for investors and home ownership. When there is a market to simply build houses people want (reduce zoning and permitting red tape), where they want them, then a house as an investment will simply disappear. It will return to the past, houses as a place to live in a community.
No business should own homes, with a very few exceptions like half-way houses and womens' shelters.
Actually our most lucrative businesses need to apprentice young Americans. We need to incentivise these programs without all the crazy college debt.
The accreditation agency will never acknowledge the direct competitor of the existing racket. Figure out how to bypass this "toll collector"
Strippers & Drug dealers found a great way to supplement thier income while in college they paid thier tuition, rent ,cars,and some party favors at the same time maybe its time to get creative after all this is America its time to start thinking iut aide the BOX "LAW" 😂😂
Yeah I sell crack and don’t have any college debt, it’s really that simple. (Jokes)
Love Scott Galloway. You can tell he is emotional about this subject, there is a lot of care in there, and it takes courage to basically tell a room full of rich people that we need to do better for the kids. It seems like a no brainer, but we do close the door on so many kids every year.
Scott thank you for paying your taxes!! That's a flex I can appreciate.
Paying your taxes isn't losing...it's patriotic.
My taxes go to Ukraine, Israel, defense contractors, and illegals.
I'm done paying.
Taxation is theft
And he’s been teaching practically for free for the last 20 years
And being happy to be paying those taxes. The fact that we are using our taxes to make a selective group rich is not the IRS fault. It's our politicians who are happy to show off their for sale signs.
Respect the way Scott thinks these issues through
We need people who are more concerned about their children and grandchildren than they are about themselves.
Run for President Scott, you have my vote.
Second this
I seriosuly do not understand the hate revolving around Scott, he's so spot on it hurts!
He's trying to take away all the money the Boomers stole! Of course they're going to hate on him.
what hate.
I don't think he is wrong. But he also isn't overlaying enough of his thoughts with monetary and fiscal policies. Those are the root causes of so much of what he observes. And the US isn't unique in that regard by any means.
Scott voted for all of this. He will vote for it again and again in every election.

@@Rej-gc5ziDon’t forget we had an actor as president at one point and a lot of people loved him.
Been listening to Scott for years and never would have liked myself to have thought he could run for pres, but with the situation as it is - he is a very strong potential candidate, and a really great guy. I look up to him a lot, all the way from New Zealand.
My wife and I both had degrees, I have an MBA and work for a top company.
We are encouraging our kids to go into vocational careers.
This is the best thing I’ve seen in ages
He is warm-hearted, humorous, and knowledgeable. He has all the numbers/data in his head and that is why his talk can convince anyone.
We need Scott as a leader
Galloways message resonates because every word of it is true.
I’m South African, now living in Canada. Scott Galloway is becoming my new HERO!
👏 Scott hits the nail on the head! It's time for society to address the unfair economic treatment of young people and advocate for policies that promote intergenerational equity and opportunity. Let's work towards a future where everyone has a fair shot at success and prosperity.
Because communism has worked out so well?
Gen Z could start by saying no to useless degrees.

@@MagruderSpoots That's completely irrelevant, but yeah, communism has been working well. China is running state capitalism like Marx prescribed, and they're running laps around the west.
@@iverbrnstad791 China LOL. Buildings are falling down in China, bridges are falling down in China, concrete is being reinforced with bamboo made to look like steel rebar in China, people take oil out of the sewers (gutter oil they call it) and cooking with it, governments are corrupt at every level, demographic collapse is coming for China, environmental standards are non-existent.
And there is no such thing as state capitalism. And Marx suggested no such thing.
"Affirmative action is amazing. It should just be based on need and adversity" yessssss.
This is the first time I’ve seen him mention ranked choice or a different voting method. And mentioning how little younger people’s votes are without money as leverage. It’s amazing seeing him dig deeper and evolving his message. He may be the only adult that understands the young population. (Look into STAR voting please).
The author Nevil Shute wrote a book that ranked voting was part of the way that world worked and the plot clearlyvshowed why it was important. Justvwish I could remember which of his books it was.
I cant tell you how refreshing it is as a Gen Z to hear someone from the older generation openly and honestly admitting that the system has been perfectly rigged against the younger generation, just so the old, rich and powerful can solidify their wealth and power. Thanks for hosting this talk, and thank you to Prof. Scott for his time.
I gew up extremely poor. My parent 's income was counted against me when applying for financial aid, even though they weren't helping me at all with college or any other assistance. So I had to wait til my late 20s to go to college and I still haven't been able to afford to finish my degree. I'm still paying off my loans from my AA. My friend's dad was a contractor. They had a swimming pool in their backyard. She got a Master's degree for free because she's a part of an ethnic minority.
Same here bro
This. Is. Gold. This interview needs to be shared on every major news outlet in the nation and every single politician needs to hear this. Thank you Scott!
I am soooo happy that there are more and more people out there being honest
I agree with mainly everything this guy says. The only thing I’ll add is that we have relied too much on the government to solve our problems but it will be in our homes where the future is made secure. The government takes more and power because we have depended on them more and more to fix what has been the result of the decay in our morality.
Usually, the government is the root cause of most of the nation's problems. It's definitely NOT the solution! Why should a bureaucrat of a department that's set up to solve a problem actually solve the problem hence eliminating its reason to exist?
@ 7:00 he says the U.S. spends the least per capita of any nation in the West. The National Center for Education Statistics lists expenditures per ffull-time-equivalent student for elementary and secondary education by OECD countries. Luxembourg in 2019 spent $25,600 per student and is the highest spender. Second is Norway, spending $18,000 per student. Tied for third place is Austria & S. Korea, spending $15,500 per student. Fourth is the U.S. spending $15,500 per student. Trailing behind is Iceland, Belgium, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Denmark, Canada, France, Finland, Italy, Czech, Japan, Portugal, Slovenia, Ireland, Spain, Israel, etc...
I'm not sure what he was referencing exactly there either. Your right about education. Maybe he was claiming in total relative to other services?
US public spending on child care is definitely the lowest. More than 97% lower than the OECD average last I checked
I can tell you from experience that going to a top university doesn’t necessarily mean you get the best education. I went to a top 5 (UK) university and a university ranked 30-ish because they were the few ones offering the course I wanted to do. It was so much better, smaller classes, better lecturer attention and it felt like they cared about my performance whereas at the top tier university, I was another one of 150+ students in my class, the lecturers had no real interest in their students (to be fair they have a lot of pressure to research, publish…etc). I learned more in the lower ranked university than the top one but undoubtedly it’s having the top tier university on my CV that landed me the job interviews. So now when people say to me, I went to this prestigious university it means nothing to me. It says more to me where you started, what you did and where you are now. It really is that simple.
A typical student on our State U campuses is paying $3k+ a month for tuition and shared housing/food and generally is lucky to make $1000 a month in income from a student or retail job.
Scott will you please run for president?? You seem to have America’s best interest at heart, a solid understanding of what ails us, and solutions that cut across party lines. On top of that, you are charismatic and captivating to countless people.
Something to add onto the young people starting behind because of student loan debt. It also happens with healthcare because having a baby is so expensive and medical debt is another thing that is exacerbating the problem for young people just trying to do normal life events (going to college, having a family, buying a house)
Pretty hard to do if one never saves a nickel.
He is a truthful man! More people should listen to him!
Nothing is going to change.....,
Exactly. Scott will do the rounds, get paid for it, and those with power will ignore him and go on business as usual and forget it in favor of their next trendy tv series about people as wealthy as the speaker.
@@charleskaplan3567 They deleted my last comment. America with all its talk about rights, freedom, and constitutional rights, entities, like WSJ sure have a hard time with the truth. I dare not criticize the great "Scott Galloway." As a veteran that thank goodness does not live in the hypocritical country of America any more, this is typical.
@@biashacker Well these, "thought leaders", are all that these corporations have in order to keep people working for underpaid jobs in inflation economies. Nothing can be done. They own everything even thought.
Defeatism doesn’t make you smart or interesting
@DefenestrateYourself Zits not about being "smart or interesting". Its about callin it like it is.
Thank you, Scott Galloway, for caring about our youth and speaking the truth.
The reality is a lot of these universities have incredible administrative bloat. I got into a public university that had a $1B endowment (tbf a lot went to research) and barely had any scholarships available. I had to withdraw and go to a tier 2 university. There is so much cost cutting that could happen at most universities that would make it so students don't have to fork over so much money. But a lot of universities operate as a research and hedge fund facility.
Younger millennial. Bit the bullet and bought my home in 2021, because it was so much more expensive to rent. Previous owners bought it for $250k ten years ago. Did zero work or updating on it. I got it for $700k and that was UNDER the market value. It's not a great house, its four walls and a roof and has a furnace. I'm never gonna retire or have a kid and I'll be housepoor forever, but at least I'm not renting from a corporate slum lord, I guess? I should have bought a home in 2009 like all my elderly coworkers keep saying, but I was literally a child so that makes it a teensy bit more difficult. So yeah, what's the point of anything?
ouch, i hope the house doesn't become a burden for you with all the taxes and insurance issues we have going on this country. I bought my first place in 2010 for 150k (a townhouse) and then 305k in 2016 (single family). I can't imagine the costs of 700k right now, it's giving me anxiety.
I agree with everything he’s saying except Social Security. I have worked since I was 16 years old and and I am owed every dime. This being said, wealthy people who don’t need it should not take it. Scott Galloway is extremely wealthy so he doesn’t understand that the vast majority of American seniors need Social Security to survive.
you and him actually agree/have the same idea so i think you misunderstood.
If you listen to other videos where Scott talks about Social Security, he specifically mentions about the wealthy not taking it, and that they should tax more higher income levels to fund it.
Agreed, his SS take is nonsense!
Social security isn’t transferring wealth from young to old, it isn’t an “entitlement” as many likely to claim either. It’s something we all pay into till we can retire and then if we live long enough to retire… we can get some of what we put in back. So if you start working full time at 18 and retire at 67 (the current full retirement age), that’s nearly 50 years, just to get maybe some back maybe 10 to 15 years.
Those years are also the years we are likely to be dealing with health issues, so it’s hardly “golden years”.
Living to 100 How can we afford it? (WEF). Look for the table about Unfunded Liabilities. Everyone it says it all really. The World Leaders are moving away from the 1940s era Welfare State. Time to plan to live well now because past 50 looks pretty f#@$ed.
SS is set to be insolvent by 2043. So, in 10 years it’s pretty much gonna start going by the wayside. The only way people are getting it now, is by the people who are currently paying into it. Then it runs out for the next generation??
Stop sending American tax dollars overseas- problem solved
I'm 38 and am doing worse financially than my parents, and grandparents. Health screws me over badly, and the economic jobs conditions around me are bleak. I'll never own property, I'll never be able to do more than the last two generations of my family.
He is correct about all of it.
I knew GenZrs were checked out and gone when i saw the videos that surfaced online after the travis scott concert... Seeing kids singing and dancing around scores of dead bodies(their own peers), and seeing they are that desensitized to death, without even being in a war zone, is horrifying. Im legitimately fearful of what America is going to be like in the near future.

Last minutes are pure gold and real talk!
98% are democratic, that is craaazy
He's on to something but he really didn't answer any of the question of : Why should we push more people into colleges if there is a surplus ''education'' crisis? That question went straight over Galloway's head. The bottom line is : half the problem is not that people don't have access to college, it's that too many are afforded to think they do without reasonable payoff for degrees that are worth nothing and are only ideological indoctrination. Those useless degrees are of course the most profitable for universities because there is no fundamental requirement and investment required into selling them, only having someone brain dead enough to teach it. The other half of the college problem is that for them to have such massive endowments, they need to surcharge students by massive margins, otherwise there is no money to pour into it.
Here's a suggestion : An institution receiving taxpayer's money should not be able to be operated like a for profit hedge fund selling classes and taxpayer's money needs to come with very strict strings attached related to pricing and the usefulness of degrees. Student loans should also be directly tied to the ability of the borrower to repay using their degree, it is insanity that anyone could take on any amount of debt for any type of degree.
Here's another suggestion : Massively fund trade schools with the same principles. There needs to be much more thought put into the priorities of what type of education actually matters and pushing people into those avenues instead of selling some liberal arts degrees.
This is only covering education though. Half the other problems Galloway mentionned have nothing to do with education and he definitely has a point about the generational wealth transfer from young to old. Society has become a ponzi scheme for the old.
The people teaching at those universities are adjuncts, part-timers with no healthcare or benefits. The educators at these places certainly aren't benefitting. You get brain-dead educators at these jobs because the people with brains refuse to be adjuncts with their PhDs and instead leverage their degrees by teaching abroad or by leaving the profession.
He's great, he's honest and admits how he got to where he is and divulges the flaws in the system. His heart is all for bringing balance, because the scales are one sided and corrupt. What he discusses is extremely significant, because it impacts all of humanity.
He's right. The market gains were responsible for 80% of the inflation. Inflation is created by wealth inequality. Only those who have excess income to buy assets create asset inflation.
....printing out government stimulus..?
speaker of the year.
Scott Galloway for President
Seeing someone so passionately talk about the struggles of GenZ kinda gives me hope.
Social security to seniors isn’t a gift. It is returning the money of people who gave it plus the interest that money earned.
Agree. I've been paying this for 20+ years. Giving it back to me isn't a transfer of wealth, it's repaying what they took
The government didn't take your money and store it in an interest-bearing account for you: They took some of your money and immediately handed it to some seniors at the time you earned it. Now the only way to earn "interest" is to demand that young people hand you even more money than you yourself handed away previously. What could possibly go wrong with such a system?
@@justinbarron5885 You have explained “what is done” with my money while the topic under scrutiny was “why it is my money” and not a “transfer of wealth” as the professor states in the video. Had the government not taken my money, I would have invested it in an interest bearing account. That is what is rightfully owed by those who took it. It wasn’t a gift. It was mine, taken from me with a promise from my government to return it with interest. What they have done with my money does not negate the promise or what is owed.
@@justinbarron5885 we should just do what they did and give them nothing. They used what their parents left, then gave us record Debt.
I'm 78 and work with millennials and GenZs. They are much more concerned with their love relationships than with politics or even paying the rent -- just as I was at that age. Soon enough paying the rent and their place in society will add to their concerns.
This is my first introduction to Scott Galloway and I am deeply appreciative of his compassion and take on reality.
My faith in the ability of the young ones to take on the world we've given them, for better and for worse, is stronger than my fears.
Let us have strong shoulders to carry them onwards.
This is the best speech on DEI
Finally, a brilliant pluralist. Keep up the great work Prof G
people need to stop striving to become wealthy and a millionaire. this greedy mindset is the number one problem with the world and why younger generations are being neglected.
TRUE. Community is what we are truly missing.
Issue is, that being a millionaire is the only way to live a comfortable life. It seems the cost of living has adjusted to reflect millionaires lifestyle only. If you’re an average Joe working a normal job you’re pretty much living in abstract poverty. It wasn’t like this 50 years ago
@@VinsLeMans i'd rather be in poverty than particpate in a rat race to make more money than the next guy, the only way people become wealthy is if people below them get taken advantage of. directly or indirectly. its usually indirectly
