More people than ever are afraid they are going to lose their job at some point this year, and that’s only for the people who are lucky enough to already have a job!
New entrants into the job market are struggling to get into roles that were desperate for workers just three years ago. If people DO lose their jobs, they have record low savings to support themselves. So then, why are people spending more than ever? The financial situation of the average American HAS gotten worse in the past twelve months.
According to data from Equifax and the New York Fed money that peoples saved during the pandemic is gone and, in its place, people are using credit cards and short term loans to cover expenses. Buying or renting a house is more unaffordable than every due to a trio of low availability, high mortgage rates, and high prices AND with an election on the horizon people are worried that things will only get worse when appeasing voters is no longer top priority. But when everything is a crisis, nothing is… People have seen the headlines, and they just don’t care anymore.
Crisis fatigue is a real problem and it’s costing you thousands of dollars every year (whether you realize it or not) for three different reasons.
A survey of two thousand [2,000] young Americans conducted by Harris Poll for USA today found that sixty five percent [65%] of Gen Zers and SEVENTY FOUR PERCENT [74%] of millennials believe that they are starting further behind financially than earlier generations… AND according to a poll run by the New York Post one in five [1/5] Americans now believe they will never be able to afford a home.
More Americans over the age of seventy five [75] are working than ever according to data from the Labor Department these were the people that had an opportunity to buy homes before they were several multiples of the average income, so if they couldn’t escape the rat race, what hope do you have?
When people resign themselves to never achieving their financial goals then there is less pressure to avoid taking on bad debt, spending recklessly or putting off enjoyment. According to the same New York Post Survey FORTY PERCENT [40%] of young Americans surveyed said they think that hitting the jackpot was the best chance they had of ever being able to afford a home. Lottery companies, online casinos, and get rich quick gurus have tapped into this desperation as an effective marketing strategy to put those that fall behind… even further behind…
Giving up and being financially irresponsible has in a way become something that is highly fashionable. Trends follow young people and since young people are giving up on long term financial goals in favor of short-term experiences, that has become the new normal. Luxury fashion is marketed as a way for affluent people to show off their means, but according to a survey by Bain Consulting the largest group of customers shopping at luxury clothing stores are millennials followed by GenZ’s.
The people who have the LEAST financial security are spending the MOST to try and fake the appearance of doing well that they will never be able to really achieve. Young people with basic jobs and no assets wearing LV and Supreme are cosplaying as people with financial security when all they are really doing is hurting their financial situation even more. The terrible reality is that your life probably won’t be as comfortable as the lives of older generations and if that makes you want to stop playing a rigged game that’s fair, but it’s only going to make your financial situation worse…
So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how financial crisis fatigue is costing you what’s left of your financial future…

@mikewood8695 4 месяца назад

the crisis is getting worse, but it takes ten to twenty years for a global hegemonic superpower to collapse, especially when they can print the global reserve currency - however, eventually the more fiat currency they create, the less effect it has on productivity and projecting military power around the world - the same aspects of collapse occur each time - Roman Empire, Venetian Empire, Spanish, Dutch and British - eventually their currency collapses - ie inflation gets worse and worse - this has happened every time and we can start to see it occur in the US right now - but it happens slowly at first and then there's a tipping point when it happens very quickly- such is the nature of the exponential curve.

And that's before food, insurance, car, and medicine/doctors bills. Nearly 3k a month on shelter, even *with roommates* is pretty normal nowadays. The PS5 or designer clothes isn't what's driving poverty.

Pro tip: When it comes to resource investment, aka gold silver etc. Always look up the all time historic value of it. You will see that some have had DECADES of losing value as well as gaining because of supply. If you have gold, just like most Indian citizens, there being an economic downturn means you might want to sell your gold. So will most Indians in the same situations, so gold prices fall, as one example. This notion resource based savings will always beat the market is a MYTH!!! It is not true.

@martenkahr3365 4 месяца назад

@@slimjim2584 Problem is the "minimal taxes" part. If the economy enters hyperinflation, your tax amount will be calculated off the nominal market value of the land. And you'll most likely have to sell it just to cover the tax debt you've accumulated, if not have the property seized by the government directly to cover the tax debt. Most people won't be able to afford the skyrocketing land tax burden long enough to for hyperinflation to stabilise. Even if they sold their land for millions, it wouldn't be enough to be considered rich by the time hyperinflation ends. The only ones that win are the ultra-rich who already have so much diversified wealth that no matter what happens, they'll be able to weather the storm and gobble up more land and capital while us peasants are forced to sell what little we've managed to scrape together just to stay alive during the crisis.

If you're paying 600-800 a month on HOA (as good as throwing money away), it doesn't make sense to buy ever. So maybe it's time to redefine what financial stability looks like?

This appears to be quite a complex problem and I've been told several potential factors for this like large wealth accumulating over decades since WWII in some societal segments putting lots of demand-pressure on real estate markets which has an overproportional effect on peoples disposable income or that the level of expectations on the range of consumption or even personal investment goods has dramatically increased (you didn't need a mobile phone or various subscriptions and higher frequency travelling in the 60s).

Also the concept of paying someone, for investment advice is kinda just stupid. If im paying you upfront, you have no real accountability, and no real responsibility there. You've already got my money, all you have to do is go "sometimes the market sucks" shrug, and then walk away.

My RU-vid recommendations got stuck in a doom and gloom feedback loop and I missed out on the last few years of stock market growth while convinced everything was going to crash.

Small communities also strangle the housing market by not allowing new homes to be built, killing communities that are aging.

What surprises me the most is the people that work in finance and still fall for these trends. My FIL and one of my BIL both work in finance (in actual reputable companies) but they always have some of their investments in stupid stuff like bitcoin; they see the hype when they're anxious about "the next crisis", fall for it and then complain when they loose that money. I think anyone with enough anxiety, even people that should know better, can get into this trap

2008 anyone? I have no faith in the skills of people that work on high paying positions in finances to have an ounce of common sense

This is why I absolutely removed the last finfluencer that I followed from even being recommended in my feed. He's always bearish and cost me more money than he's really worth, and then bashes the people calling him a perma-bear, when his overall thesis is effectively a full-blown collapse of everything. Meanwhile since May I was seeing that the behavior of the market was "we're going up and you're going to like it." The only thing that didn't catch on was the risk tolerance and continuously using options when they did nothing for me but negative returns constantly. Now... I'm just mostly tapped out. Slowly forgetting about the market, only have it as a venue where I make money but I tend to just shut the voices up when they predict either 300% returns or total collapses cause at this point, credibility in these people is in the floor.
