But what is good for AmericA, isn’t always good for AmericaNs… Globalisation has let big businesses pull revenue from global markets, it’s given consumers cheap products subsidised by poverty wages, and investors access to foreign capital from around the world. The best part is, all we had to give up in return was stable productive jobs that previously defined the American middle class… For some reason, some people have decided this wasn’t actually a very good deal and that workers need a way to regain some of the power they once had. It is genuinely a very reasonable idea that has united people on both sides of the political aisle… which is why it’s kind of a shame that we are doing it… in the stupidest way possible…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.

Why Does Japan Still Have an Emperor? - How Money Works | How Money Works

Why Does Japan Still Have an Emperor? - How Money WorksSign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈Link to my brand new Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ❤️ ___________________________________________________________________________Japan’s royal family is often forgotten about in the west. I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of you watching didn’t know that Japan actually still has an emperor, but indeed… they do… it’s this man, Emperor Naruhito.Naruhito ascended to the throne in May of 2019 after his father Emperor Akihito abdicated from the throne. These men are the official heads of state of the third most influential economy in the world, and while their powers are almost entirely ceremonial, however their living standards are anything but.The immediate royal family has over 1,000 staff working for them directly.This roster includes basic essentials like, you know… gardeners, chefs, plumbers, chauffeurs, secretaries, security personnel not to mention 47 servants PER ROYAL!But this enormous staff also extends to things like wardrobe managers, royal farmers that farm the family’s food, 4 doctors constantly on standby, a silkworm breeder to make sure the family is always decked out in the finest threads, Shinto advisers, and 30 archaeologists tasks specifically to look after the tombs of the family.Beyond just the manpower the Japanese Royal family claims some pretty pricey real estate. If you think the white house or Buckingham palace are ritzy, they have nothing on the Japanese Royal Palace in Tokyo.Sprawled out over 379 acres in the heart of the largest city in the world, this royal residence was once more valuable than all of the real estate in California combined. Nowadays it’s worth about as much as two and a half San Francisco townhouses but that’s a whole other issue.This estate, along with dozens of other lavish estates dotted around the country and over the planet cost a lot to maintain, and that’s why the government of Japan gives the family 11.83 Billion yen (or around 110 million American dollars) every year to keep everything up to a royal standard.This is ON TOP of a personal expense account of 324 million yen or 2.9 Million USD’s for every member of the direct royal family as well as a 269 million yen for every member of the extended family.This is taxpayers money which is all going to fund the ridiculously lavish lifestyle of a huge family that hasn’t actually played an active role in managing the country since world war two, and even back then their job performance wasn’t what I would call stellar.So it’s time to learn how money works to makes sense of how this family justifies their unbelievable operating expenses in a country that has not seen sustained economic growth in nearly three centuries.#Japan #Royal #HowMoneyWorks___________________________________________________________________________Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSRMusic by Epidemic SoundFollow 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.

This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#realestate #investing #financeThere is one big problem holding most young people back financiallyIf you don’t already own a home, you probably can’t afford one… and you probably can’t even afford to rent one either. 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.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.

No copyright infringement intended. This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind.#business #finance #billionaireMost 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.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.

How To (Semi) Legally Launder MoneySign 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 SoundFollow 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.
