The only American who won't acknowledge this Administration's failed economic policies is Joe Biden. "Shrink-flation' is the least of our worries compared to rising rents and stagnant wages, but it is an undeniable indicator of how bad our inflation has gotten. I have $100k that i like to invest in a non-retirement account, any advice on that?
I would avoid index funds, mutual funds, and specific stocks for the time being. Right now, the best option is a fixed income of five percent. Put money aside for the times when the market really starts to bounce back.
45% of Americans do not invest in the stock market because of lack of guidance. Every year you don't invest, you are falling behind. I’m hitting numbers in the stock market I used to dream of… Going from $50k to $600k in my portfolio is surreal all thanks to insights from my financial advisor.
Please can you leave the info of your invstment analyst here? I need such luck
Finding financial advisors like ‘vivian jean wilhelm’ who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
interesting! just copied and pasted her full name on my browser, found her site at once, and skimmed through her credentials, very much appreciate it.
As a hair stylist who focuse on womens color and extensions I can tell you 100% my business has been impacted. I have clients who wouldn’t go an extra week with their grey roots. Who now are rocking the roots as if it is normal. It’s very scary from where we are. My adult son text me and said mom I can’t get to work tomorrow bc I’m short gas and don’t get paid for two days. How embarrassed I was to tell him I was sitting here counting my change jar bc I was in same position. Our world is crumbling
Remember that in November.
It's crumbling cause of feminism and socialism...
Witchcraft and Voodoo economics.
I work in the healthcare field, and I see a lot of women around the job wearing hair coverings because they are not able to get their hair done. In times past, they always had their hair done up.
@@iveyhealth2266wow
Soon hair and gas is least of your worries. When SHTF we will see people lining up for food, basic necessities and other rations, this country about to turn into North Korea, Venezuela and Cuba and it will be by design.
Inflation hits people a lot harder than a crashing stock or housing market as it directly affects people's cost of living that people immediately feel the impact of. It's not surprising negative market sentiment is so high now. We really need help to survive in this Economy.
I think I could really use more guidance to navigate the market, it is completely overwhelming, I've liquidated most of my assets and I could really use some advice on what best to invest into.
Your best option if you are unfamiliar with the markets is to seek advice or help from a consultant or investing coach. I know it sounds simple or generic, but talking to a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 65% since January. For me, it's the best method to enter the market right now.
please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
Thanks for sharing, I just liquidated some of my funds to invest in the stock market, I will need every help I can get.
CAN THE SEX WORKERS GET FEDERAL ASSISTANCE??? THEY KNOW A LOT OF CONGRESS PEOPLE!!!
Sex workers all do get federal assistance. They are on tax forms, unemployment single mothers. They also get food stamp cards, housing assistance, and Medicaid.
I love it.
😂😂😂
Not sure I call that work. Plenty of free protein comes with the job. Get up off the back and go do some work that benefits society. Jeez
😅😅😅
The system is failing as a result of both government and federal policy. In the next days, the banking crisis would have to be epic and gigantic for the FED to decide not to raise interest rates. This won't happen; an increase and a crash are coming. There will be more negative portfolios this 2nd half of 2024 with markets tumbling, soaring inflation, and banks going out of business. My concern is how can the rapid interest-rate hike be of favor to a value investor, or is it better avoiding stocks for a while?
Very true, you can be passively involved in the markts and still amass wealth-gains using an investment advisor. I first dabbled in stocks late 2019, just before the pandemic, and that same year gained over 150% with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was following directions of my advisor. We are working on a retirement ballpark of $3m and I’m certain my goal isn’t farfetched after subsequent investments and tremendous returns so far.
Mind if I ask you to recomend this particular coach you using their service?
The advisor that guides me is “Tenley Megan Amerson” , most likely the internet is where to find her basic info, just search her name. She's established.
I just checked her out on google and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
Sounds like you're not aware that a low Fed rate increases spending, therefore increases demand resulting in increased inflation
And last week, Mr. Adam was saying "the economy is fine, inflation is fine". What a piece of work this guy, and he has a Finance Podcast.

Four years ago the ECONOMIC system was being held up with 10T of Economic Stimuli.
All the while trump stated it would all burn out by Easter.
Now the ugly truth has come to roost. Free money aint free when it comes back in the form of Inflation.

My rent went from 1600 to 1900 last year and that absolutely destroyed me. On top of more expensive groceries, gas, etc.. It'sto the point I've gotten a second job, I'm scraping up and trying to save money whereever I can, and all I do is pay bills. Everything Tom said is exactly right. Idk wtf Adam is on
A new property management bought my complex, and they raised my rent from 2100 to 2800. When I moved in there it was 1600 less than 8yrs ago. I had to move 25 miles further from work, because nothing affordable is nearby.

I'm so tired of hearing how "Inflation in America isn't as bad as other countries around the world"... I live in Asia. Have been all over the continent the last 5 years. Literally no country is even close to experiencing inflation like the US. People who say "The US is doing better than most" haven't left the country in at least the last 5 years. I'd put my money on the fact that they probably have never left.
Okay, so are you going to tell Americans to stop being greedy and to stop buying unnecessary shit? Life in the US isn't hard, people just waste money much more over here.
Whoch country in Asia ? There are many...
I'm so tired of hearing facts and statistics too. I hate when people don't just say what they feel
@@georgeinjapan6583 Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia.
@@losgatoscreek1 What are the “facts” that you’re referring to? The fact that there are unstable countries with crazy inflation is ALWAYS true. Listing Venezuela and saying “look, other countries are worse” is a terrible misrepresentation. Of course it’s worse, the government there has failed.
The US is experiencing a unique amount of inflation due to the excessive printing of money that has occurred in the last 6 years. Pretending that other countries are feeling the same effects is disingenuous and factually incorrect.
One thing I’ve noticed in my 68 years is that generally when the stock market is doing well the middle class is not.
I’m sure you noticed as well, when the stock market is at its highest is usually when it also comes down crashing as well. These are boom bust cycles thanks to the crappy legislation (or lack thereof).
In laymens terms....the Stock Market is not the ECONOMY:))))
@@patrickanderson4680 Very true. However that’s what the MSM is always screaming about and pols just take advantage of insider knowledge to make trades that are not available to the rank n file citizens.
boom and bust? We need that lol that’s regular economics. We’ve been pretty stagnant with 0 percent interest since 08

Because Adam clearly manages to float by in all that he does... just like his presence ON THIS SHOW... he has no business sitting on this panel, but yet, THERE HE IS.
Adam demonstrates how many snowflakes reside on the right. Y’all cannot stand him, why? Because you disagree? Get over it.
This isn’t like a random comment here and there. Every video there’s a substantial amount of people crying over this guys presence. Maybe they are snowflake bots, I dunno. But I spend time in both echo chambers on the right and left.
Remove a few words and my gosh it’s mirrors of ignorance.
@@matthewadams8294 I complain about his presence simply because he has no business sitting amongst this panel of professionals. The fact that you equate this to RIGHT OR LEFT shows you're brainwashed to think theres actual validity to either side when there isnt. I dont see Adam's LOWIQ contributions as being tied to a "SIDE" - I just know a guy who BULLSHITS his way thru these shows when I see one, and I don't enjoy him ruining every episode for me.
Good luck with your sides tho! Hasn't panned out in a positive way in 250 years, maybe THIS TIME it'll prove itself valid!! Keep the faith!! Exactly how you've been told to.
I’m from California. California charge you gas tax to improve the road, mortgage tax to improve the road, vehicle registration tax to improve the road, toll fee to improve the road, home heating tax to improve the road, and many more. But yet, the roads are still f@cked up and never ending repairs.

I did my taxes last week, I make $67k a year, I have a teenager- I got almost nothing back. I went from $45k to what I’m at now and the difference in taxes blew my mind. It took that to actually understand how the tax policies truly work. I was technically in the poverty bracket and lived within my means. Now that I’m making more at a different job, I still have to watch finances the way I did when I made less. There’s no difference. I do the 10% of my paycheck to my savings every payday. Now I’m looking at maybe having more taxes deducted from my checks to offset the wack ass taxation Biden allowed. Biden allowed Trump’s tax policies to expire. Democrats are not for the working class, they are the biggest liars. At least republicans tell you how they are going to screw you over with certain policies. I filled my tank, in WA, and have to use premium, $5 a gallon. $65 gave me a full tank. 🙄
When I bought my car in 2018, it was $40.
Can’t wait for November.
Touche!
my biggest complaint is the groceries, the grocery inflation is horrendous. $20 extra to fill the tank is an ugly inconvenience...... a grocery load is atleast an additional $120-150 more
The More You Make,,,,, The More They Take,, Unless you touching some million's,,, but they coming after them to,,,,, Crazy Day's
What new "taxes" did biden enact for those making $67k/yr?
Not getting a big tax refund is a good thing!
It means you didn't overpay taxes during the year!
Biden has not touched the Tax Code. Trump did. Guess what the very small tax cut the middle class got is about to expire. He did not let the tax break for coporations to expire just the people.
Adam....comparing the US to Zimbabwe...says it all. Now we are comparable to a third world country.....about right.
You will own nothing and you ll be happy
Zimbabwe had the worst inflation as a country and the USA was top 10 in the fight against inflation. Not comparable at all.
Zimbabwe numbers are wrong taken out of context, they dropped old currency that was useless introduced a new gold backed currency that is now 1 usd to 13 zig
You people compare america to Africa as whole all the time when it’s beneficial 🤷🏾♂️
I figured as much, 500 percent inflation would mean revolution and there would be a civil war raging there I would of heard about
**FOOD PRICES are actually DOUBLED**.
The 30% Inflation, PLUS the
20% SHRINK FLATIRON
Gas prices are basically $4.00 a gallon. Plus rent is going WAY UP.

Groceries in 2019... $200 a week (we do not buy sweets, chips, cokes, alcohol)...
Grocercies in 2024 between $400 & $435.
NO throw in Health care and a Mortgage your probably breaking even if your not over your head in CC debt.:)
Do you have a membership to a wholesale club (Costco, etc.)? Fantastic way to save on groceries for a family like that.
War in Ukraine = grains price skyrocket on the world markets = it costs more to feed the animals we eat and it costs more to make cereals, bread, flour, etc... All because of a stupid war in Europe.
its all for a "good cause", just think of the poor Russia.....äh I mean Ukrainians (as if anyone in the US could tell the difference).
Totally can confirm those numbers for a family of five, three kids and two adults.
Double in less than 5 yrs. We (middle class) can't sustain this for much longer.
Even if Trump is elected, what about the following 2 terms for a new President.
My prediction. This new generation of 12 yrs old or younger will be the first generations in North America (Canada and US citizen) to immigrate to more conservative countries like Poland.
Adam is disconnected and lived such a privileged life that he's completely blind to what affects the vast vast majority of people. How does the price of food, gas and rent/mortgage reflects personal financial responsibility?

Small biz here and I've been noticing decline in my biz since Sept. 2023. My CC debt has gone up since then, and last time I've had CC trouble was back when I was young before 2013. But, this time I can tell people don't have enough to use services due to inflation. And unfortunately, I'm about to purchase an RV and park it on my parent's property because, I don't want to fall deeper into debt to a point where I can't manage it AGAIN.

I'm not an economist nor financier, and I definitely agree we're paying more with less for things nowadays. It’s regularly said that, adjusted for inflation, things were far cheaper “back in the day”. But I do wonder if a big part of the reason we have less money now is because we have far more items we spend it on. For instance, back in the day, how much money did our grandparents spend on their cell phone bill, Netflix, and ESPN+ account, cable/satellite/streaming, and internet (not to mention only one TV)? My hunch is zero. Together, I spend close to $400 on those in one month.
In the 1960s, most households only had one car; one insurance plan, one payment plan, one vehicle to fuel up…..my guess is that most households have more than one car now. Most people didn’t have gym memberships, most people didn’t travel as often or as far (due in large part to families closer to one another), and most parents didn’t sign up their kids to expensive ass travel sports teams.
Just saying.
Also the quality of goods and products has lowered from companies cutting corners. The result of that is having to replace things at a higher rate.
@@mazengwe28 Correct. And how often are people replacing their exceedingly expensive cell phones? 6 months? 12 months? I'm certain that wasn't an issue "back in the day".

I drove a cab in Las Vegas Nevada. When is cab drivers were moving, when we were picking up & dropping off that meant the city was moving. When the sex workers on the street were active & business was good & they were in & of it of hotel rooms that meant the city was moving. When the doorman was opening doors & getting tipped the city was moving. When the bartenders were making drinks all night long, keeping people hydrated it meant the city was looking for action & it is going to be a goodnight. When the street promoters & the street hustlers were walking, wheeling & dealing, talking that talk it's like making funk music, the rhythm is exciting & exillerating. It all goes hand & hand. When things are active & happening for the sex workers thing are active & happening for the city. If you know you know.
As a former cab driver this is true. When there is more discretionary income, people are more willing to take a cab instead of a bus or walk. You get more movement and more fares. I would always remember when it got close to the end of the month, and you would see a dip in fares, as folks would be paying bills.
pat is a good leader. you can tell by the way his team interacts with him.

Eastern KY here been watching you all for couple years now! You are exactly right me and my wife made more last year than we have ever made in 8 years of being married and we have not lived one bit better! We have doubled our income from 3 years ago!
The irony of PBD and MC, the elite of the financial elite, arguing over how to fix the middle class.
Adam is of short memory. First Powell said they wouldn't raise interest rates until 2024 at the earliest. Then they said inflation was transitory. Then they changed their minds and raised rates cause it wasn't. Then they said inflation was under control and rate cuts were on the horizon. Now they're floating more hikes. The fed doesn't know what to do. Interest rates and oil have little to no correlation.
They should have had a controlled crash in 2008. Now we're going to have an uncontrolled crash.
Sadly 5 years ago I was the only one working. Now my wife is working and I picked up a 2ed job and working 7 days a week. We are bringing in 40K more a year then 5 years ago and have about the same amount of spending cash. The only thing that had saved us from bankruptcy is we did the Ramsey program. My wife had 30K in student debt. WE had to pay that 30K. I’m grateful they did the no interest but We got no bail out so when I see that people are driving new cars and talking about there student loans are being forgiven it just cracks me up.
You want to know the reality of adam?
Those that got the bail outs went out and bought over priced vehicles those same vehicles today are less than half of what they paid.
So....when they trade, sell or get repoed...there going to be in the exact same boat. UPSIDE DOWN.
None is getting ahead on this deal:)))))))))))))))))))))))))
Except for the politicians that got business bail out money during covid and dont have to pay it back:)))))
My diesel that I buy in northern CA on an Indian reservation with no added CA tax is $5.39/ gal! I always fuel up here instead of on the coast. It’s 5.99 plus on the coast! If I go east to Redding it goes down into the $4.29/ gal! My area gets screwed ALWAYS!

I am being so serious. How do you grow your money if you don't have any? When all of your money is being spent on bills, gas, and basics needs. Nothing fancy like eating out, clothes, or other wants. When you are putting dish soap in the washer because you can't get detergent until next week. How do you invest in your future?

I'm not doing great financially, but I moved out of Southern Orange County California over 8 years ago. My wife and I can live pretty well where we moved to (Costa Rica). We saw this coming, and I didn't want to work until I died. The best move we ever made! Pura Vida! I live a much better life, going to the beach twice a day, eat real health, never have to deal with being cold. And this is all on Social Security. Little to no government interference, more free then I've ever been, especially with what I see going on in the US! I surly wouldn't want to be in the US after the (s)election!
I heard Costa rico is called little amerika and it too is getting expensive to live there.
Curious.....what are your monthly expenses and how much gross income are you bringing in with SS?
Also you didnt mention pensions either.
Only asking because were getting ready to pull the trigger. El Salvador is looking better and better each day:))))
@@patrickanderson4680 I'm 30, single with no debt, only paying rent, food, bills, car insurance and working online making about 60k a year.
@@saulperalta780 we don't make enough money to have to pay income taxes.
@@patrickanderson4680 it definitely is more expensive now then it was 8 years ago. We live very simple lives, live within the culture. I think we get about 3k a month. Utilities are about $100, total rent is $700, food is what has gone through the roof.
Boomers living on Social Security is a fantasy that Gen X is painfully becoming aware will not exist. Millenials and beyond are completely screwed. The greatest generation suffered a bit for their meal ticket.... the boomers had it easy riding a fake economy for decades. Costa Rica is the most expensive latin country I have ever visited. The real estate in Tamarindo was the same price as in San Diego when I was there in 2012. Shady international bank real estate system was a trip. Socialism at it's finest. You had to deposit your money into a European bank before a real estate agent would even make an appointment to show a house back then. Is the country still run by European Banks? Your rich if you own any land at the beach in Costa Rica. God Bless America.
GREAT discussion gentlemen!!
A $7/gallon price is about what I pay in Switzerland, actually a little more, considering the strength of the CH currency. That being said, the average salary in CH is about 20% higher than in the USA...and the commute distances are typically shorter. My kids use public transport daily (public buses, metro, and trains). We even have a bus stop literally at the end of my driveway...so one could theoretically not even need a car. Public transport is exceptional here.
My job requires plenty of international travel, where I typically take the train to either Geneva or Zurich airports, avoiding an airport drive (and the airport parking garage) when possible. Thank goodness the rest is from the home office.
With two Mini Cooper's, we fill up the tanks no more than 2 times per month (range ~320 miles per full tank), unless there is weekend/holiday travel. When I had the company hybrid SUV (BMW X3 X-drive M-power) I was filling the tank up only once per month, using the battery for 95% of a daily commute to/from an office.
Considering how much I travelled Stateside by car (many years ago)...I cannot imagine what a nightmare sky-high gas prices are to a US family that's not deep into a 6-figure income.

Right on David,
Thank you …
I understand that Big Gov. revised the process for calculating inflation. It used to be factored over the last two years and is now averaged only one year. Big difference!!!
That is a GREAT headline!!
This admin. Has failed the public miserabily in every ! Respect !
What policies have failed you?
Or are you talking about inflation and how it affects everyday life?
Lets look at the following.
During the pandemic 10T was given to support the economy.
On top of that 8 trillion more was added onto the national debt.
On top of that 2.3 Trillion was given to the most wealthiest in the form of tax breaks.
All this money had, has to and will funnel thru the economy.
The more currency the more things will cost.
Its the SYSTEM we live in a DEBT based system.
There is no one nor any POLITICAL party that is going to fix it.
YOUR the only that can fix your predicament. The sooner people realize that the sooner they will prosper.:)
IMO
@@patrickanderson4680 The other political party would do much better.
@@JustDItY I highly doubt it let me tell you again. The largest tax break in the history of the United states was given to the wealthiest in the nation. On average they pay 8.5%
I bet if you had the chance youd take that deal. But it wasnt offer to YOU.
Because your not in the CLUB:))))
Always love your show
The contest thing you're talking about is awesome. I think it's super exciting. I'm all about it. I would love to get down with it but honestly I don't think I could afford it. You've just got through saying that middle America is suffering. They're behind and those are the people that have the most questions for you. They want and need to connect with you. But how on earth are they gonna do it when it's most likely out of their normal budget?
The middle class needs a new deal. This sucks
File exempt on fed taxes and tell everyone you know to do the same
Maybe DONT VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS!!??
WE just need a tax bracket like the wealthy have.
Lets face if if your bracket was 8.5% we wouldnt be talking about how bad things are:))))))
What middle class? The middle class is quickly going away.
there hasn’t been a middle class since late 90s maybe early 2000s
Its one thing to do the pounding, but it hits different when it's happening to you
I have a fairly decent lifestyle, small business, I own a small house and earn enough money. I have noticed the inflation over the last three years and it’s affected me, but part of my lifestyle is that I spent half the week in Tijuana and usually the exchange rate is very good… But in the last year, the dollar has lost 25% of its purchase power.
So if the United States is at 21% cumulative inflation over the last three years, I assume that Tijuana is a little bit more… add in the 25% devaluation of the currency, against the Mexican peso and I’m looking at a +46% price difference, but the truth is it’s much more. My tacos cost me double what they cost me three years ago. The taco is a great indicator of inflation, kind of like a cup of coffee in the United States.
Inflation is happening in our house
love you show. please never stop
And people ask why guys are staying single, not getting married, not having kids, not socializing, not going out, living at home
Trust me friend. A woman is the worst investment in history. After the honeymoon, the sex is over. I've been married twice and divorced twice. Same result both times. And neither wife worked full time. I have always worked full time and overtime
Marrying a woman is like buying a dog. You feed it, it never works or earns money for the household, it barks and poops. And then it asks for more food for doing absolutely nothing. Women work the same way

Adam: you're responsible for your own personal finances. Just because most companies didn't give raises this year and inflation is higher than the annual raise doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to afford to live.
I agree. Even people with no debt and are responsible have 15% in prices and increase in taxes!
Our economy sucks but somehow we send billions to other countries? Government really don’t give a F about us
And to think that SSI money that we pay for (at least those that work) is running out, is extremely irritating and mind boggling. Wtf are these “Leaders” doing!?!?
