Housing prices are up. Food prices are up. Everything is up, and life can seem bleak. But just how bad is the American economy doing, really?

20. Can Bad Markets actually be Good?
Companies are hurting right now. The market is TERRIBLE for investors and business sharks alike. But the truth is, "you don't know who's swimming naked until the tide goes out" - Warren Buffett.
But the United States remains a top choice for investors even during tumultuous times. It's legal structures and consumer laws still are lucrative for many.
Let's talk about why bad markets are actually the BEST to invest in. We talk about deal structure, technology's role in wealth creation, and how this can affect your business/lifestyle just as it has affected mine.

18. The Harsh Truth about Financial Independence
News flash: you won't get financial freedom by buying a house. There, I said it. It's the harsh truth.
You might be able to with 20 or 30 properties, but then who's going to manage it for you? Are you making enough to hire a property manager? Can you keep up if you don't?
I learned this truth the hard way. The job I wanted to quit, the business I wanted to start, the real estate I wanted to buy - doing any of these things were not going to create the future I wanted.
So what will? Let's break it down in this episode of Saving Capitalism.

17. The Real Estate Affordability Crisis - Should you be worried?
Real estate is more expensive than ever, and the Fed's efforts to bring down inflation are hurting the very people they said they would help: the middle class.
Your average home sale price has been astronomical for the past few years, with the new interest rate hikes creating even more of an affordability crisis.
It's only a matter of time before it affects the commercial real estate space too - offices, retail, multi-family housing. They hold a large chunk of the money through debt and banks. So with the industries declining all-around, is it time for the banks to be worried? Should you be worried?

13. The Problem with China
China is one of only major world powers that has somehow integrated communism and capitalism - two ideas traditionally thought to be incompatible, even the antithesis of each other. Their economy can truly be considered a modern marvel, having grown exponentially over the course of just 50 years.
But it's not all good: their economy has fluctuations like all others. And with unlimited power of the government to intervene, what will be the result?
It won't work the same as other countries. But just like here, they are experiencing an economic slowdown, though from different causes. Their unemployment is high, banks are lowering interest rates, and the overall outlook has changed. So, what's happening with China?
