    The US economy cannot survive without continuous credit and debt creation. The FED will print more money and the average American will go just that much further in debt. Meanwhile, foreigners lust for the greenback. Their economies are in worse condition than the US... if that's possible. Someone is going to be left holding the bag...

      Gold might crash in a liquidity crunch, but many precious metal holders are prepared for this and unlikely to be forced sellers. The paper market would tank and possibly collapse. Hearing from an experienced investor who has overcome adversity is motivating. It can be tough when your portfolio turns red, but if you've invested in strong companies, stick to your goals and continue growing them

      It's often true that investors underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

I got a 3 bed 2 bath and then got two roommates and now I pay very little for rent. It's allowed me to pay off about $2,000 dependent on my monthly bonus (based on apartment occupancy).

    Saying "NEVER file bankruptcy" is potentially just as damaging as saying "Bankruptcy should be your first step to being debt free". There are circumstances where bankruptcy is your best option. You need to do some real soul searching and financial reviews first, but never say never. I was at a point in my life where I was making $15/hr and I had a wage garnishment of 25% of my pay. Bankruptcy saved my life. Yes, that is extreme. But Bankruptcy is for extreme situations. "NEVER file bankruptcy" is also extreme.

Our total debt is $5,700 and then we'll be debt free! We're millionaires as well and will be retiring in the next couple of years. We're proud of how hard we have worked and are looking forward to retirement. Even with inflation and recessions, the American dream is out there for those who work hard and use their money wisely.

    Yes, hard work pays off and it takes tons of hard work to pay off debt. BUT, making $200,000 a year is not attainable for a lot of couples. I think that part of the situation should have been talked about more!!!

      True true... But most couples also don't have $400k in non-mortgage loans.
      But getting an almost 100k income between two incomes and one person with side hustles (and the other at home for the kiddos) is very possible. Depends on the region of course, but given $40k each and then a 10k side hustle l, you can do it.

    Life has humbled me in the Hardest way in 2022. Last september i reached BS3 for the first time in my life although i was budgeting since 2017. I bragged about it, felt like the world was at my feet. Then i got fired 2 months later that same November (lost the yearly benefit + 1month worth of overtime ), paying for most of a medical bills for a surgery, 1 month without pay and a car accident. Then got a better paying job, had to moove and furnishing the entire place! So my 2024 target is to go hit BS3 again in hopes to reach BS3b, one day 😅

    Well, i do have my reservations about the economic crisis. Wall Street pitched so-called quality stocks with high profitability and low debt, as a kind of insurance against whatever the economy might throw at you. Quality stocks have underperformed the S&P500 this year, My $650K portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my ROI before retirement will be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the car was a lemon and ended up costing me a lot in repairs but I can now keep it for the next 5 to 10 years with the new engine I had to replace! I still have no car payments nor credit cards! I am going to tackle my student loan debt and in 5 years, I’ll be on that debt free scream stage!!!!❤
