    This global recession/collapse might end up being a part of us for a very long time. With inflation currently at about 3%, my primary concern is how to maximize my savings/retirement fund of about $680k which has been sitting duck since forever with zero to no gains.
  • @ChrisAdams-f1u
    Transfer of wealth usually occur during inflation and market crash at times like this. So for me,this is time for aggressive investment. The more stocks drop, the more I buy. I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases.
  • So what are really the best strategies to make our portfolio recession proof. my wife is already panicking, so many questions! will the rate cut next month lead to inflation? I'm very worried about my $1million stock portfolio losing value. It lost 20 % today alone
  • @HenryKatty
    More money are lost making some mistakes in market crash like: rushing to buy stocks, having a get rich quick mindset, micromanaging your portfolio.
  • We are in recessions, we heading into depression and hyper in flation.
  • @amancalledcyn
    Sometime soon this thing is going to have to be called what it is. We are way beyond recession at this point. Start telling the truth.
  • All I know is my weekly groceries for family of 4 was $180-$220 now its $400 😢
  • @Sanchyfab
    I've been following the news closely, and it seems like everything's pointing in that direction. Inflation is skyrocketing, the stock market is a rollercoaster, and now this. It's like a perfect storm.
  • From what I've seen no one knows anything until it's actually already happened. A whole "hindsight" environment. Its actually wild people rely on these economists as much as they do.

    I'm a retired university professor. Lately, while going grocery shopping with my wife, I wonder how the middle class manages to maintain their standard of living. Since wages do not keep up with living costs, people have to restrict consumption, and money velocity reduces. That surely leads to recession. As it gets worse, unemployment increases, people lose their homes, and so will bank failures. The first domino has fallen.
  • @Badger5280
    A lot of us have been living in a depression for 4 years!
  • Eggs were 1.50 a dozen when trump was president. Under Biden 7-11.00 a dozen eggs.
  • Food is so high, I'm losing weight cause I don't qualify for any of 29 welfare programs
  • @backoff3477
    Car prices rose, housing rose, merch prices rose but the hourly and salary rates didnt. everyone should have seen this coming miles away.
  • @KG-mr3fq
    More like we are in early stage collapse. We are way past recession or depression.

    UH, oh, cat lady paintings in the background, how ominous...

  • I can’t cook what I want. I only can afford what’s on sale and many times will buy almost expired meat because that’s all we can afford to cook 😢
