Your options where finance, medicine, law or senior company management if you were lucky. But then… just a few years later at around about the same time as those people in their fancy suits were blowing up the global economy a new breed of millionaire was entering the mainstream. They replaced the puffer vests and Bloomberg terminals with flip flops and vim terminals… Tech bro’s worked fewer hours, had better perks and in many cases made better money than their peers in more traditional high-income roles…What’s more is that people didn’t hate them… Executives, bankers and their fancy lawyers were rightfully blamed for enriching themselves by leeching off a broken system that cost people their homes, their jobs, and their futures… Meanwhile people loved the idea of hacky sack playing nerds making millions by actually making stuff that improved our lives… But now… 15 years later the tech bros became everything they promised to destroy… and they kind of destroyed themselves in the process…For a while you could have a great degree of confidence in becoming filthy rich by putting in a few years at a major Silicon Valley tech company… but this all relied on a stream of money that wasn’t coming from nowhere… Venture capital, the firms that ACTUALLY invest in early-stage start-ups to develop their new technology NEVER again actually reached the level of financing it did during the dot com bubble. That was… until something changed in 2021… So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how Tech Bro’s ruined tech for themselves… Follow to learn How Money Works.

Why Dumb People Earn More Than Smart People | How Money Works

Why Dumb People Earn More Than Smart People ------Edited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.groupAll materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use. No copyright infringement intended. This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#business #finance #careers ------Dumb people make more money than smart people and it took a study conducted by really smart people to prove it. A study out of Sweden has found that top earners have lower intelligence than the people in income levels directly below them. The Plateauing of cognitive ability among top earners drew on data from 59,000 men who had to take a compulsory military conscription aptitude test. It then tracked their earnings over their professional careers to find the relationship between intelligence and income. Before Tai Lopez gets any ideas for more shitty YouTube commercials or the hustle bros learn how to read journal articles and use this to encourage people to drop out of college, I want you all to know how this data really works.The relationship between intelligence and income was strong, smarter people earnt more money but only up to six hundred and seventy thousand Swedish krona or sixty-four thousand dollars per year. After that intelligence didn’t mean much anymore and at the very top end of income earners, the 1%, dumber people actually did better. So is this a sign that watching TikTok and reality TV is actually better for your career than going to college? Well maybe actually, for two important reasons but there are also two reasons why you should probably ignore this and keep studying hard if you want to get ahead financially. Reason number one why dumb people are doing better than smart people is that smart people fill in high prestige jobs that don’t have high salaries. Academics and research scientists are some of the smartest people in the world, but they don’t get paid well. Doctors, lawyers and elite financiers also need to be very smart to get through demanding schooling and admission exams and these professionals ARE typically compensated very competitively BUT most of them don’t make it all the way into the 1%. In the USA to be in the top 1% of income earners an individual needs to make at least five hundred and ninety-seven thousand dollars before tax and that’s just the minimum to join the 1% club. so it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why dumb people are earning more than smart people and why this trend is completely meaningless for your own career planning.

How American Generals Are Being Paid Millions To Serve Foreign Governments - How Money Works Upgrade the way you learn with Brilliant! To get started for FREE go to http://www.brilliant.org/howmoneyworksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈----Washington Post Investigation (A Must Read For More Details) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/interactive/2022/veterans-us-foreign-jobs-saudi-arabia/Let’s say you devote your life to military service. You enrol in officer training and work up the ranks until one day you are a general with combat experience in whichever country the States decided had too much oil. American Generals, and Admirals make are O-10 level employees and make a base salary of $203,000 a year, with generous benefits and bonuses for deployment. That’s good money to most people, especially when it continues as a lifetime military pension of $180,000, every single year, for doing nothing, once you have put in your twenty years of service. Service men and women EARN every last cent of this money and people who have dedicated their lives to serving in our armed forces should be looked after, the system is much better at looking after the top brass than the common soldier, but that’s besides the point. I could never do this job and I respect anybody that can, at least I did until the world started learning about what they do after their career comes to an end (or just get’s started depending on how you look at it)The retirement benefits of a military general should be good enough for anybody to live of off, but some don’t see it this way. Some think that Generals are basically chief executives of large organisations with tens of thousands of employees, handling billions of dollars, and working on the most challenging projects in the world. When you put it like that, the public service pay scale starts to look a bit mediocre… Leaders in the private sector are making millions of dollars a year for the same level of work and they don’t spend their time in active warzones. So to set things right, high level military leaders have taken a page out of the investment banking interns playbook. It’s not about the money they are making right now, it’s about the job they CAN get once they have padded out their resume a bit. So it’s time to learn how money works to find out how America’s top military leadership are using their careers to score obscenely lucrative contracts with some not so friendly governments. -----#howmoneyworks #retirementplanning #military Edited By: Andrew GonzalesMusic Courtesy of: Epidemic SoundSelect Footage Courtesy of: Getty ImagesFor sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group Follow to learn How Money Works.

The most intense global trade war in modern history has been threatened and then paused, and threatened, and paused, and threatened, and paused again… SEVEN different times now! By the time YOU are watching THIS video that number might have changed again. Global economic uncertainty is at record highs and while the stock market may have recovered (for now), REAL people are starting to feel the consequences of this little game as layoffs are accelerated, hiring is frozen, prices are increasing and interest rates are spiking. Now I already know what you are thinking, there is nothing about these trade wars that hasn’t been said already. And that’s actually exactly the problem. For a variety of reasons even highly respectable outlets and experts have been trying to find what the “real” meaning is behind the flip flop trade war… Be it a secret plan to reduce interest rates before we refinance our debt, redefining the role of the US dollar as a global reserve or just some 4D UNO negotiating tactic. These explanations are very entertaining and appealing to people who want to make sense of a situation that could really impact their personal financial situation But… if you want to look for deeper meaning where there is none, you should have majored in art history, not gone into journalism, economics or businesses. Sometimes, bad ideas… are just bad ideas… and not acknowledging this has caused problems in politics and businesses well before we started putting tariffs on penguins.Follow to learn How Money Works.Find How Money Works on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMoneyWorksDisclaimer: This podcast is an independently produced audio adaptation of content originally created by How Money Works.

Soldiers returned home, young, dumb and full of… patriotic spirit and (especially here in America), this family centered growth coincided with what many believe to be the golden age of capitalism. Homes were cheap, the free market was providing newfangled products to consume, jobs could provide a stable and comfortable living, and the only thing left to do was to get busy starting a family. Now this is such a rose tinted version of history that it borders on being inaccurate, but that doesn’t actually matter. Today we are dealing with expensive homes, overconsumption of disposable consumer junk and jobs that are extremely insecure. So naturally the most pressing question for governments around the world is… how to make people make babies again? Follow to learn How Money Works.

Cascade Investments is an investment firm that reportedly employs over 100 analysts and operates EXCULISIVELY to manage the assets of Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda. It owns assets like a 71% stake in the four seasons hotel chain and 14% of the Canadian national railway… but it ALSO owns a quarter of a MILLION acres of farmland. The farmland is owned though a series of smaller holding companies but when asked why they had bought up so much farmland, the firm simply suggested that it was a good investment… nothing more… Many outlets have claimed that this makes Gates the largest landowner in America… but that’s simply not true… not by a longshotMajor investment companies and even other billionaires have invested so much into farmland over the last 2 decades that it makes Gates’ 250,000 acres look positively pathetic.

This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#business #finance #privateequity -----There are institutions operating in America today that are responsible for over twenty THOUSAND [20,000] premature deaths all in the name of profit. They make their money by housing vulnerable people in the custody and cutting costs wherever they can, often breaking the law in the process. These might sound like for-profit prisons, but I am actually talking about… nursing homes, although maybe that’s no coincidence, because a lot of these places are owned and operated by the same people. If you are an investor with lots of cash and good connections aged living is an attractive business opportunity. The aging population means that you will have an ever-growing number of customers.Revenues can be sourced from insurance companies, individuals and the government AND once you have residents in your homes it’s unlikely that they will ever check out until… well… they check out…According to research done by the National Bureau of Economic Research elderly Americans are also less financially literate which means they won’t know if they are getting a good deal or not. The investment potential gets even better more of these businesses you own the more profitable you can make them because overheads like administration, sales and contracting can be shared across multiple locations. Consistent cash flows, a growing customer base and synergies at scale has made nursing homes one of the most targeted alternative asset classes in America. Investors can now gain exposure to the aged care market through direct investment, private equity, and even exchange listed real estate investment trusts, that can be purchased by anybody with a robin hood account and ninety dollars [$90] BUT the reality of this business is razor thin margins, distorted incentive structures and a race to the bottom on quality and safety.
