Congratulations, *DaleValskov* I am relieved that you are out there fighting these thugs, We musttake every precaution to protect the elderly and the general public from these despicable con artists. Congratulations to You!! You deserve the Nobel Peace Prize for ensuring our security.
As a person and professional you couldn't get any better than *DaleValskov* he is a very reliable person and an excellent professional in the IT field. He is the type of person you want to work that's passionate, hardworking and knowledgeable. You’re The Best 100%
We have been on a recession since the beginning of 2022, but big media and governments all over the world didn’t want to admit it. We need to be wise and use our brains. Knowledge is power and I’d like all the family to be powerful! Just purchased some *DaleValskov* Thanks for keeping us informed during this times of doubt?
Don’t forget that Biden changed the definition of a recession so they could claim we aren’t in one. Take the ridiculous amount of government spending out of our GDP numbers and we have been in recession for years so far.
Can't deny the fact that *DaleValskov* is the strongest bet to bring power back to this industry after we suffered FTX, Celsius, Tera and so on. Sure if they fail it's done for good, but I don't see that the biggest tech company in the world would put everything at risk just for that.
My heart goes to the entire community for *DaleValskov* building up something even my grandpa can understand. This is so smart by them to launch it to shatter the doubts and fears of the common folk which is not even correct to begin with. Everyone knows the state of inflation and recession now and the way out is already in progress. Now it's just about catching the big fish
The efficiency of this *DaleValskov* is next level. To juggle walk throughs of various angles on the topic delivered to-camera, differnet content per topic from various folks underneath the umbrella of the track list of the larger big band concert itself is engaging and refined. To make a dense taccess like this so digestible is really something. Awesome work jack!!
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you *DaleValskov*
I'm literally overwhelmed, You are a blessing to the world. I can't thank you enough *DaleValskov* for helping me with my account recovery. My prayers will always be with you and your team. Keep it up guys. Love from Maldives. There are many people out there I pray everybody get help.
I did not believe that after the whole FTX drama there's any good to get this year but *DaleValskov* proved otherwise. Bad timing maybe but it's a great adoption to get this more to the mainstream and raise awareness. Probably a high contender for a top 100 growth
if $2000 is drowning in debt, i died long ago.
Hahahaha , not alone !
They forgot to mention the $50k + of student loan debt
$2000 is drowning in debt when their money is spent every month from rent, car payments, food, utilities, etc. Unless you're living in your moms basement or dad's mancave.
Right but the joke is if $2,000 is drowning then those of us who might have $20,000 for example must already be six feet under. 😅 @@AKAAAK
Same. ☠🪦🥀
I feel that the last bull run was bolstered by all the money being printed. Major returns next bull run but I think they will be tamer in my humble opinion. A 10x on *DaleValskov* and a 15x on polygon are fair considering how much those two coins are interwov
I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. Despite the dip in crypto, I still thank you for the level-headed financial advice. I started crypto investment with $4,345 and since following you for few weeks now, I’ve gotten $18,539 in my portfolio. Thanks so much *DaleValskov*
This is one of my favorite channel. It always makes my week complete! 😊 Despite the economic downturn, I still manage to earn $25,000 weekly from my investment of $3,500 ..God bless *DaleValskov*

You're rich if 1/3 of your income covers rent

They are doom spending. They knew they can’t get ahead in life and why we even bother and just the money they have right now. I know it’s not the right attitude but I don’t blame them

Amber is the sharpest host Rising has, and it’s not even close
Seriously, she deserves her own show. The hill better try their hardest to hang on to her.
A fiscally desperate populace is easy to manipulate...
Humanity (and governments) require subsistence economies. If the citizens are satisfied and complacent, there is no impetus to do the jobs that no one wants to do. Instead of attacking and taxing the wealthy more, remove the incentive for excessive wealth by removing luxury goods and build modest housing. The Ponzi scheme of inflationary economies is the throttling of resources (material, laborial and financial).
Not really, that's when people start revolutions. When they have nothing left to lose
If you go to college you get 1000 credit card offers so I am not surprised.
Is not just that, these kids need them just to make ends meet. Rent costs are outrageous.
I don’t know how it’s possible, but Jessica Burbank looks and sounds wildly different in every appearance.
She and Amber are right: the financial crisis right now is serious. Billions for Ukraine and zero for the middle class.
Why do people whine so much about the Ukraine money? It's literally a rounding error compared to social security and Medicare. We are literally spending close to $1 TRILLION on interest this year and you're sitting here complaining about pennies being used to try to slow down our top geopolitical enemy.
@@nicolasgirard2808Those programs actually help American taxpayers Ucranie aid is money laundering
She does like different every episode
@@nicolasgirard2808you're pointing out a relative problem. Which is dumb. 97 Billion can go a long way to address domestic problems.
@@kamman1374 it's a trivial amount of money and wouldn't make any significant difference. We are currently in a $1.7 trillion annual deficit. If anything we should be giving more money to Ukraine given how expensive it will be if we don't stop russia now.
@@nicolasgirard2808 Part of the reason for the massive inflation is the war, what are you talking about?
Get to a peace agreement even if it means Ukraine has to make big concessions, it’s not the US’ problem to begin with. Same with the other war and as well as the overall defense spending. I agree with you on Medicare as well.
Tackle all those items and we’re on a good path.
I like these types of segments. Americans are hurting despite all the gaslighting from Biden and co.
Its also refreshing to see something relevant to Americans and their well being.
To be fair, Trump handed Biden a huge mess
@@jackeagleeye3453I don’t know about you, but I had much more money in my pockets during Trump era.
@@JohnK.-cj2nqdid he line ur pocket during his last year of his term when covid hit?
@@luismedrano6680 I didn’t even receive a stimulus check as my income is in the 1%. But interest rates, taxes, stock market, and other economic indicators were much, much better.
@@jackeagleeye3453stop deflecting. Biden has been the worst president in modern history, possibly the history of the entire country.
The biggest thing debt affects is FLEXABILITY for workers. Debt locks people into their current job whether or not they are happy.
Unless you can pay off your credit card each month you should not have one. Credit card fees besides the interest can triple the cost of purchased items.
Save borrowing for large items like cars and houses.
Some people don't have the luxury of financial discipline especially with children, we want more of those to work right?
@@coleslaw9997
Calling financial discipline a “luxury” is pretty disingenuous.
I feel for the younger generations. I think the biggest issue is affordable housing. Rents are so high it's difficult to save money and pay off student loans. On top of that the only new housing going up is large luxury housing, which drives up the price of more modest homes. Plus, big investment companies are buying up the more modest homes.
LLC’s 🥃🔥
"the only new housing going up is large luxury housing" - what does that mean? Also, the big investment companies are just a part of that, it's mostly mom and pops from what I understand.
the biggest issue is spending money you don’t have stop blaming other things
They voted and got what they wanted, now I have to suffer because of your vote....haha
@@brianbattaglia2187 Gotta be something to this right? How do people afford the things I see them buy?
Capital Gaines tax is capped at 20%, whereas the working class is taxed up to 37%.
I am minimum wage, 1,000 every two weeks... minus 150 for taxes. Then 7% sales taxes on anything I buy. Health insurance is 400 a month, but if I made 500 less I would qualify for a 100 a month financial aid, plus food stamps because the government admits that people cannot afford food.
Yeah, but those poor investors and corporations are just trying to get by! You have no idea how much a Unicat costs these days!
Yeah but if you lose money on an investment, the government doesn't cover any of your loss. It's a "heads I win, tails you lose" scenario. Also, investing money is a strategy for beating inflation, and inflation is a kind of hidden tax which is caused by government overspending. There are a lot of issues that I'm sure we could agree on, but just adding more taxes is not a great answer for taxpayers.
@@gbh_events Agreed. Because the government purposely devalues the money you save every year, you can't just save your money. So you basically have to invest it.
That is to offset the risk of investing.
Stop going to expensive colleges to get degrees you don't need and stop ordering from ubereats.
Um did they mean to say 20,000? 2000 is nothing if you make average of 60k out of college. These numbers are fishy…
I definitely agree. 60k seems extremely high for graduates coming straight out of college and most people (Americans and beyond) would dream of only having 2k worth of debt.
I said the same thing
High school curriculums teach trigonometry, calculus, chemistry and biology but not financial education.
They do, my classmates just don’t care.
Very horrible realities for young people which is the reason I am so upset with this government and this Administration if you were going to be about war for 4 years wouldn't you want to take care of the American people first.
They don't care at all.
I no longer believe in anything
@@justhomas83 Don't say that be optimistic the sky's the limit.
34T in debt... fiscal irresponsibility seems like a characteristic of this country
And yet Jessica suggests more government spending to "get the economy moving".
8 trillion on the "War on Terror" that made us LESS safe & free then those same people that cheerleader want to lecture us on spending. Hahahaha
Between July 2020 and July 2022, corporate profits rose five times faster than inflation. In a market that HAS price competition - rising input prices should not make profits rise even faster. Time to enforce the antitrust laws and tax price gouging.
But markets didn’t have price competition for over a year. Small businesses were forced to shut down, while Amazon and Walmart were allowed to stay open.
What were you clamoring for in May of 2020? Freedom or draconian, authoritarian lockdowns?
@@SeiyaSoiya-un4jj Nice strawman. Let's enforce anti-trust and enact a windfall profits tax, ok?
@@carycunningham9510
How is it a straw man? YOU LITERALLY provided the years for measurement in your original comment, and then conveniently left out the biggest global event that occurred during that time.
You went to public school, didn’t you? Yikes…
What is price gouging?
@@deadgolfer6345 It has to do with why the Sherman Act, and others, were passed almost a century ago. Monopolies and oligopolies (a small cartel of companies) have such a dominant position in a market, they don't have to compete on price, they get to set it instead. Simply put, in a truly competitive market, rising costs should not make profits rise even faster. Market concentration erodes price competition. Anti-trust enforcement, and a windfall profits tax, are some of the ways to counteract this.
I remember when having a high school diploma was enough to get a good job. High school drop outs ended up with the bad jobs. Now you need a college degree to change oil.
And the folks with the degree, can't name most states.
Gotta pay to play

Would be interesting to see how all that money on credit was spent.
I’ve watched many financial audits of people claiming to be broke but their credit card statements show them spending $900 in a month at Taco Bell.
Bills; rent; ramen noodles.
I'm guessing a good bit of stuff they didn't have to buy. I have no idea how people afford what they're buying. How is a pickup truck $76k?
@@SeiyaSoiya-un4jjcheap food? What’s wrong with that?
@@willmcquitter8985
If a single person is spending $900 per month to eat, that’s not cheap food.
And, we need more government to fix it? Fire the government.
Don't have a credit card. Go to the store cook/prepare your own meals. Don't Grubhub every meal of the day. You don't need every or any streaming service.
Very well could be equal part debt/budget
Make America Cook Again
The groceries are often more expensive than restaurants now
@@1D4ever
No they’re not. At the grocery store you can still make 6-8 meals with $50 worth of items. Where as a restaurant you’re paying $25 for 1-2 meals.
It’s literally laziness that is stopping people.
More government spending isn’t going to fix the roads. In California the government takes money for the roads department to fund other projects that aren’t road related. Then, the government asks the voters for another raise in the gas taxes to pay for roads.
Rice and beans with seasoned ground beef and steamed broccoli is 3$ for 2 meals a day...better learn to meal prep
That’s not true man. Rice is expensive unless u buy cheap rice. Still over 1$. Beans if ur lucky .69 cents a can. Pink beans is like 1.75$ a can!!!! A pound of ground beef is roughly 5$ broccoli is free if u grown ur own. Still gotta buy the seeds tho. Let’s say 3$.. your math is way off, or your lying and sum ppl out there will believe you. I’m not one of ‘em.
@@johndsouza842 Pinto beans $17 for 25#, rice $17 for 25#, Costco
I eat rice and tuna or sardines every day for lunch. Costs me about $1.50 per meal while the rest of my coworkers order Doordash every single day of the week. One guy said he spends over 500 a month on fast food. Breakfast lunch and dinner.
The government is spending less??? What?
Covid emergency spending naturally sunsetted. It’s a liberal talking point.
Yeah I was like is it opposite day??
Malapropisms aside, 1/3 of income I rent is a POSITIVE sign. What's occurring now is 35%-50% going towards rent/mortgage.
Im 36 and only paid off all my credit cards by winning 10k at the casino
University was never the answer for everyone, yet it was pushed as the only way to better yourself. What we should be pushing is the trades and Entrepreneurship.
It was pushed to explain why certain people were shut out from careers
Don't print more money.
The government agency needs to fire people.
We need a surplus budget.
It's amazing what you do *DaleValskov* We need a lot of people with your skills and set who have good intentions and spread love
Government spending will only make things worse.
The government spends what it is directed to, where it is directed to, by the companies that direct it.
There's a reason both political parties are corporations.
Just business doing business. Calling it government.
Is she really talking about the stimulus checks from 4 years ago .
Well with 34 trillion in debt, it's no surprise, we are all struggling to some degree.
I’m glad my parents are financially responsible and taught me the way lol
I think there’s a big problem with accountability, people overspent during Covid, didn’t anticipate that high costs were going to continue past Covid and now they’re squeezed. Stop living above your means and start purchasing less, either by choice or our govt is going to force you to. It’s simple.
Hey Amber on Fulltime. She’s one of the very few Gen z’s I’d listen to. 😂
I love seeing Jessica hosting more frequently!
Inflation is actually corporate greed....
So when they're not greedy we have periods of low inflation? Is that how this works?
Solid analysis by Jessica.
None for America, everything for everyone else
Gen X too
Not really in debt but stuck around a net zero for the last twenty years….
It seems to me that with each new generation their executive functions are becoming less and less. Leading to less control over their habits, be they spending, self-control, or any other plethora of things. This is why the younger generations can't hold on to money, have a regular work schedule, etc. It is not simply a lack of willpower it is an in-built deficit.❤🎉
Everyone’s crying “broke” but last time I checked, Taylor Swift and Beyoncé aren’t performing in empty stadiums.

Jessica Burbank hurts my brain
There's no argument - the buying power for most has only reduced overall for multiple decades. Meanwhile, productivity has broken records again, and again, and again.
Record profits achieved again, and again.
We serve the wealthy, in finance, in materials, in blood.
Maybe not the grocery stores, but the food producers who supply the stores.
$2000 is drowning in debt? 😂😂😂😂
Well, it can be.
“Sometimes we want stuff that’s not super profitable like good education, and good transportation, & smooth highways to drive on.”
Living with parents and grandparents is really the only option. Working and trying to save money while staying at home
$2,800 is nothing. Was the compare with Millennials at the same age adjusted for inflation?
Miscontruding Share holders with " the rich" is a misgnomer. Most of the middle class gains their wealth from being share holders in companies.
Most of the current tax revenue is from the top. We are the new target.
The pandemic proves the government could make some rich and others broke.
You don't need a credit card

Inflation is high so we need more government spending?
Stop buying stuff you can't afford if you can't pay cash. Stop borrowing 100k in student loans for a 50k a year job. Stop buying a new 40k car making 50k a year. Stop whining and live within a budget until you can build up your yearly wage.
Cars don't cost $40G's anymore
More public spending? Public spending is at an all time high. Public spending got us into this mess.🙄
huh? the "all time high" was around 1945 when federal spending as a % of GDP was nearly 50%. We're nowhere near that and haven't been for decades.
what planet are you on?
@@bryson8918that’s because they are just printing more money daily to hand out to the military industrial complex. That artificially boosts GDP while causing inflation and destroying the middle class in this country.
The only spending that is "high" is the repeated lack of being able to complete an audit and not accounting for double digit trillions at the Pentagon.
They don’t understand.
Aren't these people at the top scared American's are gonna ban together and confront them?
Two words....Joe Biden
I would urge a community service solution to pay down personal debt. Let these kids work at a fast food place at $5/hour for 5 years in exchange for loan forgiveness.
Rent payment, 1/3 of the salary, is the high boundary of what it was 20 years ago, 25% - 33’%. The issue is housing prices are less affordable, besides the different life style of the new generation.
its def higher than 2k
And they have no clue who to blame.
The kind of casual assumption that federal spending automatically results in higher inflation is an old saw from laisse faire economics departments, but it isn't really the case. Still, it's used as a justification for austerity budgets to cut benefits for the poor and interest rate hikes to "discipline" the work force.
Cool !
I'm sorry The Hill but these are deeply unserious conversations. Jessica saying that maybe the federal government should be spending more?! We have the highest spending EVER right now. E V E R That is why inflation and interest rates cannot come down.
Eliminating stock buybacks is probably the #1 thing we can do to improve the situation for consumers and reinvigorate innovation.

bros/sis to learn sales so that there is never a cap on what you make! Otherwise youll always be replacable with a cheaper college grad! In sales they keep the top ballers kick out the low performers with a settler mentality
Sales is a special skill not everyone has. While it can be learned a lot of folks just don’t take to it. If it works for you you are lucky
Sales ain't for everybody.
Ask yourself, if these institutions of higher learning are so expert in their fields, how is it that they can't deliver their product to market at a more affordable price. How is it that they can't build in efficiencies of scale?
These hosts are off the rocker. "Sometimes we want stuff that is not super profitable. Like good education and good transportation and smooth highways to drive on" lol At the time when government spens like never before just not on things the people and country desperately need.
6:01 grocery stores are forced to pass on their cost for items. They keep a consistent profit per item. But the production or distribution companies raise their prices more than inflation would cause. It is further amplified by the lack of competition because these companies are all owned by the same mega corporations b
I’m not drowning in debt I have debt, if I would FINALLY have a well paying job with my degree I’d be able to get out of debt in 5 years. I have 50,000 in student loans, car, bills, credit cards if I would again FINALLY get a well paying job I’d get out of debt in 5-8 years
There is a fairly interesting peace calls Capital. These people should take a look!
We need a pull back for healthy growth. This growth isn't healthy
Melennial data is probably not indexed for inflation. Considering costs of most things are up by 30% in some cases double and triple like insurance and electricity and groceries.
Housing is central. Start building more houses, and give 1st time buyers the priority. Ban non-citizens from buying us houses.ban REITs and investors to buy up houses. This will lower housing prices and rents, which will help. Not spending more money.
The Saudi's would never let that happen. They own a lot of US real estate, and large proportions of multiple media corporations.
Sorry... It’s not debt. It’s income disparity. :)
You know, the Bureau of Economic Analysis has a fun stat - components of unit pricing over time. And currently the component rising fastest, the one creating the most growth in prices? Corporate profits. That's right, corporate profits. "Currency debasement" is not even a component. Huh, someone should talk to them, I guess...Half of the current price inflation is due to corporate price gouging. The Kansas City Fed called it "unprecedented markup-pricing." Fortune and The Financial Times have called it "greedflation."
In a functioning economy, rising costs should not make profits rise even faster. Certain conglomerates are enjoying record or near-record profits. This is because there is little to no price competition due to market concentration (NO antitrust enforcement). Powell knows that. His actions will consolidate markets further. This is what class warfare looks like.
Why don't you just go into competition with them and undersell them. I think you'd get all the business. Why doesn't one existing store undersell another?
Record or near-record profits are meaningless when the value of money has fallen off a cliff. Wages are higher than they’ve ever been as well. Doesn’t mean people are in a better place financially.
