If your dream is a housing crash that will level the financial playing field… then I am sorry to tell you, but that’s probably only going to make things worse… According to the real estate data firm ATTOM homes are now unaffordable for median Americans in ninety nine percent [99%] of counties they analyzed, the remaining one percent [1%] were not affordable, there just wasn’t enough data to use in their report. With statistics like these the only hope that a lot of Americans have is a market correction that will bring prices back down. High prices aren’t good for many people, buyers can’t afford a home, renters are stuck in a market where more than ever they need roommates to afford rent and even though two thirds of Americans own their own home, high prices aren’t that great for them either. If you are one of the lucky people that own a home and you sell it for a record price, you still need to buy another home which is just going to cost you a record price leaving you no better off overall.While you own your home you are going to pay higher property taxes and if you do sell your home to buy a new one you might have to pay capital gains. Most homes in America are now selling over the IRS’s section 121 exemption of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars [$250,000] in profit since you purchased the home. So if your home is worth a lot more than you bought it for AND you don’t want to live on the street once you sell it, the only person you have really made money for is Uncle Sam. The only people who are really winning are those that own multiple properties in addition to their primary residence. If prices are too damn high, then the best thing you could hope for is a market crash, right? … Wrong. I am once again here to crush your dreams and tell you that a housing crash would probably only make it harder for you to buy a home for three simple reasons… So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why a real estate crash probably won’t get you any closer to owning a home.

The way we listen to music, consume cinema, buy useless junk, spread conspiracy theories, find a partner or just order a kebab have all been redefined by just a small handful of companies. Of the top ten most valuable companies in the world SEVEN of them are still relatively new businesses that have dIsRuPted major industries. The message is obvious, if you can build a company that changes up the way that people do things with technology, you could become one of the richest people in history…The best part is!!... YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO CHANGE IT FOR THE BETTER…This has created a problem in the Silicon Valley scene, where these innovators are trying to disrupt industries that… really shouldn’t be disrupted. Banking, medical care, mental health, real estate, transport and even good old communication are all imperfect industries… but sometimes the solution to problems are slow careful iterative improvements… NOT slapping an algorithm on top of it…

No copyright infringement intended. This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#business #finance #billionaire -----Most people alive today will never be able to retire. Almost half of all Americans report having no dedicated retirement accounts at all, and rising living costs means that millennials will need more than a million dollars saved to retire comfortably. It’s a bleak outlook for most people who will probably be working in some capacity until the day they die. But there are people with enough money to live several lifetimes in extreme luxury without ever needing to work again… and yet they still chose to work, even at the expense of their health, their family life and worst of all… their own net worth…So what is stopping so many billionaires from retiring? According to Bloomberg, the average age of a global billionaire is now 63 years old, and it’s slowly getting older every year, as wealthy people live longer and longer lives. Male billionaires are slightly older at 63.7 years and female billionaires are on average 62.4 years old.Female billionaires have a longer life expectancy than male billionaires but they still trend younger because several have been the beneficiary of an inherited estate or divorce settlement at a younger age. Forbes has also now reported that there are NO billionaires under the age of 30 that are self made… all of them have inherited their wealth.As billionaires are getting older and richer, an ever increasing number of them are also working well into their twilight years. You might think that they are just obsessed with accumulating more wealth. The mental state of billionaires who just need more is a factor that we will get to soon, but for some of them, they would actually be even richer if they took a step back and just enjoyed their wealth. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out the three reasons why billionaires refuse to retire.

How To (Semi) Legally Launder Money
Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈----The Pandora papers are the latest in a long line on P Papers that have supposedly unmasked the shady dealings of the global elite’s worldwide network of money laundering, tax evasion and corruption. You have no doubt seen the headlines, and if you are following the story closely you are likely thinking that nothing will really come of this. It’s been five years since the Panama Papers were released the world and since then they have been followed up by the paradise papers, as well as a series of smaller leaks ultimately confirming what everybody suspected was going on anyway. Now to an outside observer it is easy to be a bit disheartened by all of this news and simply resign yourself to the fact that these schemes will just happen forever and nothing will really be done to punish the perpetrators. This narrative would certainly be supported by the outlets publishing these stories too, because to be honest… outrage sells. But it’s not necessarily the case, and perhaps the best way to see this is to do what no stories on this issue have been willing to do, and that is to unpack how this creative international accounting actually functions. #PandoraPapers #PanamaPapers #howmoneyworks ___________________________________________________________________________Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️___________________________________________________________________________Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic Sound

That is, they are falling further behind the small group of households pulling the average up, and they are falling further behind on their own personal finances.Household savings have been eliminated while credit card debt has climbed to its highest level in HISTORY, housing is less affordable than ever ESPECIALLY for people who weren’t lucky enough to lock in generationally low interest rates, And the job market has become filled with automated systems, endless interviews and roles that never really existed. Unemployment may be down but that data point completely ignores the millions of people who have simply given up.There are a lot of REAL problems hurting a lot of real people… and the worst possible thing you can do… is tell them how great everything is and how grateful they should be….

These are the businesses most popular publications and for good reason. Forbes and Bloomberg both want to be the brands people think of when they think information for rich people and about rich people, and what better way to market that idea than a list. People like top ten lists and people like reading about rich people, it’s no wonder that there are endless copycats out there tracking everything from the richest influencers to the richest chefs.But if I asked you what your net worth was, you probably wouldn’t know, and the only way you would accurately be able to find out is by accessing a lot of personal financial information.

Maybe side hustles can do some good, and I promise I will look at some examples that do genuinely make some sense in this vide.
