We finished our basement this year to prepare for a multi generational home. We can live downstairs while a family can live upstairs. With the rising costs of housing, our kids may need a roof over their heads. Our lot is a quarter of an acre and we have garden beds and fruit trees. Good video!
I think that's wonderful. I believe more families should live multi generational if possible. Live with a few families on a bunch of land, especially if unrestricted.
I think that’s wonderful, however, if things aren’t out in to place soon, you nor anyone else will have a place to call “home.” Society takes everyone working together for things to work. Things can get very chaotic soon.
I made a comment on another TH-cam channel a couple of years ago about multi-generational living and boy did I upset some people, I was shocked. I am a firm believer in it after 17 years of doing so. Are there issues, sure but the good outweighs the bad and the amount of money we save is amazing!
There nothing wrong You have simply been bombarded with a dosage of information to cause you disorientation and fear / influenced negatively / i would advice you to take it easy , and avoid listening to the internet doom gurus .
@@lunarminxThat would be great. And if we could grow our own food and share tools with neighbors the world would be a much better healthier place. But no, everyone needs their own little mcMansion in the suburbs
My late husband was an economist. He passed away 5 years ago and before he died he told us that there was going to be an economic collapse in a few years. Thank you for being so open! It’s a reality.
There’s no telling what will be found out next month that has been propped up…. Im in WNC and people are living in tents and old moldy donated trailers (thank God for them). I grew up during Carter and Reagan. 18%+interst rstes, gas lines erc. My father did the homesteading / little house on the prairie thing then. Build log cabin from scratch (I peeled logs with flattened how) even wood shingles, cooked wood stove. No toilet the first year, heated bath water on woodstove. Had every animal imaginable and grew everything. Fast forward… the young people are trying to do it now. It’s all cyclical. It isn’t new. We need to learn to get a grip and balance in this world. We can’t seem to do that.
Matthew 24:6-8. From worse to worst: persecution and time of trouble. But if we persevere and overcome sins...the end is the greatest news: Jesus Christ delivered the faithful.
I finally found my corner- so great to hear other folks saying that neither major US political party have the majority of US citizen's interests in mind. I hope that more and more people will wake up to this fact.
Im telling my high school-aged nephews not to focus on getting a college degree. I tell them to focus on developing an entrepeneur spirit and going into the trades. Gone are the days when you can go to a university, get a degree and coast through life. We're in a new system now with A.I., outsourcing, climate crisis, political divide, misinformation, and corporate greed.
Brilliant. Well done. Very rare to find a channel that doesn’t take political sides in pointing blame or looking at one side as the saviour. I was already a fan of your channel. I’m now an admirer
Through our entire marriage (38 y.) our mission and attitude to get through life has been, Adapt and Adjust. The only thing you can count on is, change.
We totally agree! Asher and I were just talking yesterday about doing an entire video on adaptability. It's really been the theme of our entire life lol.
You guys are such a refreshing breath of air! I agree with everything that you said. We have lived a frugal lifestyle for the 39 years we've been married and came from depression-era parents, so learned the value of "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." We also repair everything, sew, grow some food, retired early from the "normal" jobs and have done things we enjoy for money and with our time. Our washer and drier are 38 years old, our near 40-year old furnace was just replaced last year, because we take care of our things. Keep up what you guys are doing!!!
It's a good idea to have hard copies of how to books in your home. Thrift stores, garage sales, and used book stores are great places to find them. Gardening, beekeeping, maple syrup harvesting, growing mushrooms in your home in tubs, plant plenty of perennial fruit and vegetable plants. Egyptian walking onions, strawberries, fruit trees, Jerusalem artichoke, and so on.
@@PanaMaJwaaRd That's a really great question actually and I cannot possibly do it justice in a youtube comment. But consider everything you buy (or don't buy) in a day - bread, coffee, a house, a computer. Its price is determined by many things - production costs, distribution costs, taxes etc etc. Production costs are determined by commodity costs, labour costs, machinery costs etc. Commodity costs are governed by things like fertiliser costs, import/export quotas, subsidies and so on. These are all politically imposed costs (or restraints on costs). And the so-called "freedom" of the market (a myth) is also entirely a political decision; how much regulation we choose to allow is entirely a political choice. Don't forget that what we now call "economics" used to be called "political economy". They dropped the "political" for erm, political reasons.
I'm very worried about what we're about to go through. Especially for my kids. I'm living off social security and my federal pension now and very worried about that even surviving this next administration. Not to mention my federally provided health insurance.
@@kathleensmith6200 those who voted for trump may rethink their choices in a year when tariffs create out of control prices. We will see what happens. Cuts will happen everywhere.
Hello from Canada! Our economies are very closely tied to each other, so I obviously don't want to see your economy fail- and of course I also don't want your economy to fail because it would cause even more suffering. That said, I agree with you completely about how uncontrolled capitalism is the problem. When corporations (and the people that own them/hold large shares in them/work within them at the highest levels) are able to get away with everything, control politicians, and not pay their fair share of taxes to fund societal needs, these serious problems arise. Wishing you nothing but the best!
And all the stock sell offs and buy backs it’s just ridiculous The great George Carlin said that they’re against street crime unless it’s on Wall Street.
I'm with Asher. I'm a realist. Yes it sucks. But I want to hear the truth. No sugar coating. Asher is so good at explaining things. My husband is the optimist. LOL!
Childhood is the dream, for everyone not just American. I came back to my hometown in the rural state of Maine looking for my childhood after I was 60 years old. I found the old people, but they weren’t children. Not a child. You are giving your children, a loved free interesting childhood. That is all we need and you both agree with that. You both have a very negative attitude if you think that one of you has positive attitude and the other one does not you are incorrect. Keep it up you’re doing the right thing.
I can't believe how accurately your discussion on these issues mirrors the conversations being had in our family. It's so refreshing to hear others reflecting this perspective! I feel that very few people are paying attention to metrics...just vibes and opinions. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's comforting to know that there are others who understand economic indicators, history, and how to identify credible sources of information.
The big problem is people have put themselves into debt. And want to finance everything they own. The less you have the more you are in power. The more you own the more the system owns you.
Yes! The barter system is our original currency. It's going to be much more appreciated in the future and is even great of human connection and relationship building ❤️
You both are spot on . There are days I'm like very optimistic but then reality slaps ya in the face . And that's usually at the grocery store right now and the gas station. Thank you for sharing your views with us . I think a lot more of us feel the same way as you do . Looking forward to your next video. ✌️
Just wanted to comment on here so I can help your algorithm to get this video out there, people need help to wake up and to plan for the future. I live in Uk and all you said applies here too, thank you
I totally appreciate y'all giving info about the facts, and not being one sided like a lot of people. It's so very true that our country is run by corporations. Rich helping the rich get richer off the back of the workers.
Im near the end of the video, and wanted to add what I'm doing to prepare. I'm working on my soil, doing lasagna garden beds. Next year I will only have three areas, but this year I didn't plant anything. Cramming permaculture info into my brain! You may know about this, but there is an app you can get access to library books from if you don't have a way to get to the library but have internet access. You do need a library card. I apologize, but the name of the app I can't remember. Have a wonderful day.
I think you did an excellent job on this video. I did not feel it was political at all, just explaining what is going on. Thank you for posting this and I am really looking forward to your next video.
It is so refreshing to see people with intelligence making videos.There is not one thing you guys have mentioned that I don't agree with and I'm a realist too. First time seeing your videos. Best video i have seen in along time. Going to sub.
The tariffs will destroy this economy what's left of it! This will be the new third world country! We already have areas of this country that are already third world!!
@reginafisher9919 That's because of democrats! Yes, it will get worse. It has to in order to get better. Should have been prepared. Gotta look at the big picture and research and study. We have 3 choices left. 1 . Women start working those real jobs they claim to be working. No more useless HR ladies. Grab a shovel or some iron and get busy. And the economy somewhat stabilizes. 2. We continue on this current destructive ideology and end up with 3rd world standards throughout the entire country. 3. Give men the power back and the economy booms again. That is just cold hard reality. All this.mess right now stems from the root cause of...FEMINISM!
So instead of putting tariffs on other countries (that have tariffs on us btw), we should just keep raising taxes to cover government spending and the deficit? Is that really what you want?
Corporate greed, military economies are political no matter what. I will say this: I am closer to your generation. I was raised economically poor, but "land rich" in a family mixed of recent European colonists who survived British starvation, First Nations who survived invasion and Quaker colonists who defied chatel slavery (were even kidnapped by George Washington's armies). Survival was about banding together with everyone close by without giving a hoot about their creed, their ethnicity, their immigration status, political affiliations etc. We helped one another eat, one another heal, one another repair, one another's children grow safely, one another's debts and homes to the best of our abilities no matter the cost. Organization and congregation of all peoples is what is needed. US is about to pass 880 Billion dollar military budget. We are all sacrificial no matter who we are. Remember this and help one another live, my friends. Our lives mean nothing in this economy nor those who control this US society in the end, except to one another.
Thanks for the video. The climate crisis is causing erratic weather conditions that stunt the quality and growth of crops as well. There will be a food shortage/ lack of growth of home gardens in the years to come. Sending love to all, may we find a way.
My husband and I have been talking non-stop about these EXACT points for the last year or so. Its getting crazy, and the statistics on history of the market proves a recession / depression is near. We agree and are also on our own journey of settling down in east TN where we can be more self sufficient. loved the video!!
China's population is not keeping with the demands needed for their workforce. Germany is going through a similar situation. Jobs need to come here and the U.S needs to promote vocational training.
US is a little slower, but running into the same demographic problems. It is mostly covered because of migrants wanting to work coming to the US. Cheap, because another country done the education investment and will probably do the old age one. But that supply is running low, there are very few countries left with an above 2.1 replacement rate birthrate. For total population what counts is China and India and they are either at or below 2.1 already. I think only Kenia is above replacement rate still. Worldwide number is somewhere between 2.5 and 2.1, so yes we are running low on young people. Also there is a dislike for baby girls, so they are aborted in favour of boys and then 20 years later the parents cry that there are no wives to be found for their precious boy ... So not only are there less children born, but the numbers are in some places skewerd towards boys over girls running op to ratios of 117 : 100, boy : girl (some parts of China). That has problematic consequences for the whole of society and the safety of women. Unlike with goods, when women are scarce they are not treated like they have value. And even less if the government gets in on it.
What worries me is the future of our grandchildren. Not everyone can buy land and homestead. How can one save money when your basic expense are out pacing your basic needs.
I hear what y'all are saying, nobody said this isn't going to hurt a lot, but to get back to being a self sustaining country and be economically sound it's going to be extreme. We've moved so far away from what we can once were, to get back to that is going to be worse than eating rice and beans every day.
Very good video. I agree with everything you have conveyed. We have built our emergency fund in preparation for potential job loss, inflation and unexpected expenses. We live debt free including our home is paid for. Being content with what you currently have and not keeping up with the Jones' are keys to getting out of debt and staying out of debt. We drive older cars, pay cash for home projects, eat out very little, shop garage sales and thrift stores. We live below our means and have learned from prior financial mistakes not to repeat them.
You may or may not see this, but does Austin have his own channel? He is so knowledgeable in the realm of geopolitics and history. I would love to hear more of his thoughts on those subjects. Thank you both for this. You said all the things my wife and I have been saying for months now.
Very informative! Thank you! Your husband should be included more. You guys are both so real and humble and are sharing tips so many people need to hear ❤
UK is much the same state. After Brexit(I didn't vote for) it ruined lots of small business and affected many more including mine because of the import export fees being totally unviable. Most of my customers were outside the UK. Bigger business could set up shop across the borders to avoid, but small business could not compete. Government living in lalaland! They bump their gums about getting the economically inactive into jobs to get manufacturing in the UK going but businesses are closing because of the higher NI contributions. Crazy all round! 😭😭😭
Our initial wealth as a nation was also built on "free" land. The cultural unwillingness to honestly study the source of that abundance really gets in the way of building a logical future of any kind of growth.
My thoughts on your video and it's content is BRAVO! You stated all the major issues that have been in my head for many months now. I have been preparing for the financial collapse for well over a year now. I was layed off in July and am 56 yrs old. The job market is bad and ageism is real. All that said, I will be able to ride out the coming collapse because I have always lived a frugal life of needs with the occasional want. My desire to buy a piece of land and create a food forest in an inexpensive part of PA is my dream/plan. My research to do that is what lead me to your awesome channel! This downturn will likely allow me the same opportunity you had to buy a farmette and realize that dream. Thank you for all you do. Great tutorial!
I think when one bubble pops it is going to pop all the others. the only thing that is most likely going to do well is commodities. Those are real. I think if trade wars kick off these are going to surge. Wars could certainly escilate due to less and less resources being shared across the world. Could get intersting very quick.
I'm Australian and it's the same here.Its a problem all over the world. There's so much blaming either right or left side of politics The real enemy are the corporations and oligarchs who are so obscenely wealthy and the massive flow of wealth to the top 1% at a faster rate than ever before After covid which they benefited greatly from, the middle class virtually has disappeared People lurch from one crisis to another and housing is at risk of being inaccessible for most People whether employed or not And all sides of government are in the pocket of these elites so nothing will change unless there is a revolution or rising when people reach a tipping point and fight back
As will lower rates. It's the driving nail in the coffin. People holding the dollar without having physical assets like gold and silver, etc will be the bagholders
No, really, you guys did a great job making your points. I think you'll be surprised how positive the comments will be. What you said about how most of the world, most of the time, has had to do with much less... that's a very important thing to remember. ❤❤
I got ran off my low paying job !? Tough times ahead !?😔🙏the working poor are ran in the ground can’t afford a roof food or health care or common goods I’m starting to wonder why work a job !?
"It's the big companies fault". That's what I've been trying to get people to realize for years. The companies importing goods are marking up the prices 1000%. Technically, they could adsorb the cost of tariffs, but they will use it as an excuse to raise prices. It's not supply and demand, it's ability and willingness to pay. Advertising and promoting excuses raise people's willingness to pay. Take credit cards for instance. They don't want you to pay more than the minimum payment. If you do, they will raise your credit limit. when things get bad enough that you start skipping payments, they know they are getting the maximum amount of money out of you. With product prices, they find the point where people's ability to pay and willingness to pay meet. That's where they get the highest profit. Supply means nothing. So, the average person will always struggle.
Great video, thank you. I really enjoy this type of post and hearing what you two discuss. I'm an optimistic realist....being a realist does tend to shove optimism in a corner but one can still have hope no matter how slight lol
You are so right so many ppl can't cook from scratch!! I'm 44 as soon as we were all old enough we were stood at the cooker with my mum and my dad and they taught us all to cook bake shop for proper food not crap as she would say 😅 to many young ppl can't boil a egg , here in the UK it's the same very worrying time about the economy just gonna be prepared really good video you 2 ❤
I hadn't really thought too much about so many people not cooking until a man I didn't know commented at the grocery store that I must be a cook because I had ingredients in my cart instead of finished meals that only needed heating up. Now I think about it every time I go to the store.
Thank you for your honesty!! You are so right about this , why is it so hard for others to see this. As a Mexican American I am so happy that others realize that immigrants are not the problem! Thanks again
The problem is Free money printing coupled with sanctions that led to dédolarisation. Now the rich white man wants the poor white man to think that his problems come from black and brown people. They don't want people turning against them.
I’m a realist too! I think for you to put on a video like this is truly heart warming just because you’re the younger generation. Im of a prepared mind as in I live this daily. Self sufficiency skills is our future. The USA is in the toilet pretty much. In order to survive this we will need to learn skills, living without certain things is going to be hard on many people as in not being able to go through the drive thru or going out to dinner like you use to because inflation is up 50% or more..instead of vacations when my kids were younger we did staycations, we own a 4-wheeler, and go-cart from like 2001 that we keep up on all maintenance ..my kids made a path in the woods up behind our house up on the hill, they put a tent up there with some tiki lights and would camp out overnight, we have a fire pit again this is like 18 yrs old so we would do the fire pit at night going into the woods getting a stock so they could roast not marshmallows but hotdogs wrapped in bacon..lol..weirdos..lol..have no idea where they got that from either. We had outdoor games with prizes I bought so the winner got a little something something..we fished our nearest watering hole, took a small canoe on the pond that my family owned..we did lots of barbecues. This was our source of entertainment..kids now days have no idea what that is like I don’t think anyway. Oh and one of our favorite things to do was to go blackcap, blackberry, raspberry and wild mulberry picking on the sides of the roads..did this every single year even up until they were 19/20 yrs old ..I have three sons and they loved it. I just learned how to make taper candles, love them..hoping to invest in a bee hive but will have to be at my brothers because hubby is allergic to bees. Love making herbal medicines and growing anything edible/medicinal. I feel for us all but the ones that have skills will be okay in my opinion..bartering is going to be a thing again in my opinion.
Seriously though I started the video, but I went straight to the comments first it’s my thing now when you guys put out a video😂 on a more serious note I completely agree with you guys times are gonna get tough rough and if you’re not prepared, so help you God
Our family has been preparing for this time in history. God bless Ya'll for sharing this information & the knowledge you have retained. Appreciate your channel ❤
I like the analogy about 6 blind men trying to describe an elephant - the elephant being the economy. The best way to learn about what is happening is keeping an open mind and listening to many view points. I believe you should research 'special drawing rights basket of currencies'. This should alleviate some of your concerns. I agree with your husband. It is up / down, not left / right.
My concerns and thoughts about the economy: The poorest 40% of Americans are too poor to quality for paying federal taxes. Tariffs are a way to tax the poorest in America. Trump needs these tariffs to give the oligarchs a cut to their capital gains taxes. I hate that the future American economy hangs on whether President Elect Trump is lying or telling the truth. If he is telling the truth, tariffs (and other countries imposing counter tariffs), austerity cuts, and kicking out the migrant workforce are all inflationary policies. If he does these things, I believe recession summer 2025 ish. I am particularly concerned about the specific things the oligarch Elon Musk wants to cut such as VA healthcare. However, if he is lying or is unable to accomplish these things, then status quo give or take for the economy.
You guys are such fun to watch. You keep life real. I like living below the hype. Second hand everything or make it myself. I have no interest in trying to keep up an image. Much more relaxing. I have lots of Grandkids and I dont have money to spend but I have lots of time,,,and I love having conversations with them about what is happening in their world......the funniest ones are with the little ones,,,twin 5 year olds and a two year old,,,,,,they see life clearly
I recommend you check out Ursula LeGuin's book of essays titled "No Time to Spare". Some of the essays speak to this issue. "Clinging Desperately to a Metaphor" starts off with a quote, "Unless people benefit, economic growth is a subsidy for the rich." "Lying It All the Way" about when president Truman dared to ask that we refrain from meat twice a week (the audacity!) There ae so many though-provoking, short essays in this book. Highly recommend.
The idea of American dream is a childhood dream. All children have dreams if they are fed some food in a relaxed manner (that will help), loved in a relaxed manner and kept sheltered in a relaxed manner.
Great video! I so agree with you both. It is just baffling to me that so many Americans (including people in my own family) think having a certain political party in office is going to lower prices and "fix" all the issues. We are in the process of building a chicken coop to hopefully increase our sustainability. Thanks for sharing.
Of course we are a consumer country now. Too many Americans don’t want to work anymore. They want a free handout or a government check and not work a day for it. Good help is super hard to find these days.
They did want to work before their jobs got sent off.Also it’s not very inspiring to work for a wage that isn’t livable.When I started working I made 5.15 an hour at a grocery store 20 years later minimum wage has only gone up to 7.25.
I agree with you that things are going to get worse. A lot of other things you said not so much. Prepare in the good times for the bad because it is cyclical. Research how to be more sustainable. No whining about it because it will not change anything. Be adaptable. Live simply.
You are so right! I bought a “made in the USA” white women’s T-Shirt = $70!!!!! I can buy one at Walmart or Amazon for $7. So that is 10 times as much. Now the quality is better, organic cotton etc…..so it may not be exactly apples to apples. But the Walmart T shirt has freight all the way from China too and the USA T shirt had freight from California.
It doesn’t matter what side people are on. An economic downturn is inevitable and I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. That’s why we prepare. Hopefully we can all be ready when it does happen.
I’m trying to convince my husband to retire in Mexico, IM in Southern California, and I just don’t see things getting any better, mind you we are in our early 50’s.
Your video is right on ...I agree with you both we are a nation that is very divided and we need to pull together if not we are only hurting ourselves. I am really considering leaving bc of our divided nation ...its sad
Great talk guys. I totally agree with you and I'm just bracing myself and have some money available and some food stock. We just literally have to go with the flow! Love you guys!
What you say makes sense. I have felt definitely since 2020 things will get messed up and get bad. I feel like it will get worse. In many ways. But I think there’s many that ignore it and just go about their daily routine. Scary
I agree with almost everything you say. Except the economies of Russia and China both economies are in trouble, look at how Chinas housing crisis has led them into economic trouble and have you seen the price of butter in Russia? Lower cost of living in other countries doesnt always equal safe or happy. Ive been researching more frugal whole food cooking... 5 years ago I slowly found a way to love beans. For me its not panic buying but I do stock up. People should research the UK'S cost of living crisis or "heat or eat". Might be a good idea of where we are heading. I choose to focus on being prepared, happiness and finding free joy. Nature is a tonic, family is free. Remember you can grow greens and veg even on an apartment balcony!
I think America goes into a depression worse than the Great Depression, but first we either hyperinflate or stagflation. Once we start to dive (bubbles pop) its game over. Now as bad as it will be in America it is going to be at least 5 times as bad everywhere else. I really worry for people.
The crash of America dollar will come like the fall of Syria. If you look back at history when hyperinflation happens better have your money invested in the market, land,and gold than hoarding cash.
When I was a kid there were people in town who built vending machines, commerciall freezers, break parts and breaks, fish tank pumps, textiles and more then Raegun came IN ns those went bye bye then the family/mom and pop places went.
First off, I don't think this was a political video. I do believe the stock market is wayyy over valued and I am expecting it to crash. There is a major disconnect between the market and inflation. I worry about how my children in their 20s will be able to afford a decent lifestyle. I am preparing by having no debt or mortgage and saving as much as we can each month. I would love a video on how to find property that has acreage. Just basic steps like did you get a realtor, what things to consider like proximity to healthcare and stores.

We totally agree! Asher and I were just talking yesterday about doing an entire video on adaptability. It's really been the theme of our entire life lol.
Tariffs started in 2016 and inflation stayed low until the Biden administration. Its Bidenomics that increased inflation.
You guys are such a refreshing breath of air! I agree with everything that you said. We have lived a frugal lifestyle for the 39 years we've been married and came from depression-era parents, so learned the value of "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." We also repair everything, sew, grow some food, retired early from the "normal" jobs and have done things we enjoy for money and with our time. Our washer and drier are 38 years old, our near 40-year old furnace was just replaced last year, because we take care of our things. Keep up what you guys are doing!!!

It's a good idea to have hard copies of how to books in your home. Thrift stores, garage sales, and used book stores are great places to find them.
Gardening, beekeeping, maple syrup harvesting, growing mushrooms in your home in tubs, plant plenty of perennial fruit and vegetable plants. Egyptian walking onions, strawberries, fruit trees, Jerusalem artichoke, and so on.
So true!
Be careful. There is something called "mushroom lung." It is caused from breathing in mushroom spores.
You ARE being political - just not PARTY political. Economics can't be anything but political. Good stuff guys!
Not saying i disagree, but how so? Explain? Can you talk about economics without having a body of government in convo? Just curious
@@PanaMaJwaaRd That's a really great question actually and I cannot possibly do it justice in a youtube comment.
But consider everything you buy (or don't buy) in a day - bread, coffee, a house, a computer. Its price is determined by many things - production costs, distribution costs, taxes etc etc. Production costs are determined by commodity costs, labour costs, machinery costs etc. Commodity costs are governed by things like fertiliser costs, import/export quotas, subsidies and so on. These are all politically imposed costs (or restraints on costs).
And the so-called "freedom" of the market (a myth) is also entirely a political decision; how much regulation we choose to allow is entirely a political choice.
Don't forget that what we now call "economics" used to be called "political economy". They dropped the "political" for erm, political reasons.
I'm very worried about what we're about to go through. Especially for my kids. I'm living off social security and my federal pension now and very worried about that even surviving this next administration. Not to mention my federally provided health insurance.
@@kathleensmith6200 those who voted for trump may rethink their choices in a year when tariffs create out of control prices. We will see what happens. Cuts will happen everywhere.
@@Lux353 yeah, too bad it will affect all of us and not just them.
If Al Pacino is coming out of retirement…. That should be a big red flag
Yes, one day it will come crashing down. As a nation we are so far in debt we can never come back from it. Trust in no one but your creator.🌻
Buckle up
Hello from Canada! Our economies are very closely tied to each other, so I obviously don't want to see your economy fail- and of course I also don't want your economy to fail because it would cause even more suffering. That said, I agree with you completely about how uncontrolled capitalism is the problem. When corporations (and the people that own them/hold large shares in them/work within them at the highest levels) are able to get away with everything, control politicians, and not pay their fair share of taxes to fund societal needs, these serious problems arise. Wishing you nothing but the best!
And all the stock sell offs and buy backs it’s just ridiculous The great George Carlin said that they’re against street crime unless it’s on Wall Street.
I'm with Asher. I'm a realist. Yes it sucks. But I want to hear the truth. No sugar coating. Asher is so good at explaining things. My husband is the optimist. LOL!
It’s definitely beneficial to have each in a relationship 😆 Yes, Asher is great at explaining things!
Agree
Although it’s scary I do agree with you all. And I do worry about our kids who are young adults. We are continuing to need less and learn to do more.
There is no future only pure horror
Childhood is the dream, for everyone not just American. I came back to my hometown in the rural state of Maine looking for my childhood after I was 60 years old. I found the old people, but they weren’t children. Not a child. You are giving your children, a loved free interesting childhood. That is all we need and you both agree with that. You both have a very negative attitude if you think that one of you has positive attitude and the other one does not you are incorrect. Keep it up you’re doing the right thing.
This is your best video yet!!! I am from Canada and totally agree with everything you said. Asher is right and you should bring him on more often.
I can't believe how accurately your discussion on these issues mirrors the conversations being had in our family. It's so refreshing to hear others reflecting this perspective! I feel that very few people are paying attention to metrics...just vibes and opinions.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's comforting to know that there are others who understand economic indicators, history, and how to identify credible sources of information.
The big problem is people have put themselves into debt. And want to finance everything they own. The less you have the more you are in power. The more you own the more the system owns you.
Amen❤❤
I want to thank you both for your honesty, for breaking it down in layman's terms. May God bless us all!
We also trade time and goods via the barter system, it works great for our rural area. no cash changes hands, just helping one another out !
Yes! The barter system is our original currency. It's going to be much more appreciated in the future and is even great of human connection and relationship building ❤️
@raisingwildflowers it sure is! It's great to have people you can rely on when you need them.
There are times when bartering is taxable.
@ I’m sure they would love to tax all bartering.
We need to create circular, community owned economies
You both are spot on . There are days I'm like very optimistic but then reality slaps ya in the face . And that's usually at the grocery store right now and the gas station. Thank you for sharing your views with us . I think a lot more of us feel the same way as you do . Looking forward to your next video. ✌️
Actually not. Many many facts are wrong
@MrsUnderwriter
That is your opinion, and you are entitled to it . But as for me, I agree with them .
Just wanted to comment on here so I can help your algorithm to get this video out there, people need help to wake up and to plan for the future. I live in Uk and all you said applies here too, thank you
Great video. I'm here in Australia, worrying about all the sane things. Good on you for bring up these issues.
I totally appreciate y'all giving info about the facts, and not being one sided like a lot of people. It's so very true that our country is run by corporations. Rich helping the rich get richer off the back of the workers.
Im near the end of the video, and wanted to add what I'm doing to prepare. I'm working on my soil, doing lasagna garden beds. Next year I will only have three areas, but this year I didn't plant anything. Cramming permaculture info into my brain! You may know about this, but there is an app you can get access to library books from if you don't have a way to get to the library but have internet access. You do need a library card. I apologize, but the name of the app I can't remember. Have a wonderful day.
There are two really great library apps: Libby and Hoopla!
Do what you can with what you've got. Get out of debt!
I think you did an excellent job on this video. I did not feel it was political at all, just explaining what is going on. Thank you for posting this and I am really looking forward to your next video.
It is so refreshing to see people with intelligence making videos.There is not one thing you guys have mentioned that I don't agree with and I'm a realist too. First time seeing your videos. Best video i have seen in along time. Going to sub.
Yes, he's right! Tariffs aren't the answer. It will raise prices and increase inflation.
Indeed the tariffs will. 😢
The tariffs will destroy this economy what's left of it! This will be the new third world country! We already have areas of this country that are already third world!!
@reginafisher9919 That's because of democrats! Yes, it will get worse. It has to in order to get better. Should have been prepared. Gotta look at the big picture and research and study. We have 3 choices left. 1 . Women start working those real jobs they claim to be working. No more useless HR ladies. Grab a shovel or some iron and get busy. And the economy somewhat stabilizes. 2. We continue on this current destructive ideology and end up with 3rd world standards throughout the entire country. 3. Give men the power back and the economy booms again. That is just cold hard reality. All this.mess right now stems from the root cause of...FEMINISM!
Tarrifs are the negotiating open statement. It’s called business.
@@singerjo5791so why did trumps tariffs during his last term loose 75000 people their jobs in the steel and aluminum industries? Bad buissness?🙄
Very good, concise, points. Those who accept reality will fare better than others with their heads in the sand.
Well said and spot on !!
If anyone gives bad comments, they’re ignorant
You guys know exactly what’s going on
I agree
Yep
You may be the ignorant one, or rather gullible.
So instead of putting tariffs on other countries (that have tariffs on us btw), we should just keep raising taxes to cover government spending and the deficit? Is that really what you want?
@@twobitsandpepper8235I think you missed the point on what they were saying. Stop drinking the koolaid.
Corporate greed, military economies are political no matter what. I will say this: I am closer to your generation. I was raised economically poor, but "land rich" in a family mixed of recent European colonists who survived British starvation, First Nations who survived invasion and Quaker colonists who defied chatel slavery (were even kidnapped by George Washington's armies). Survival was about banding together with everyone close by without giving a hoot about their creed, their ethnicity, their immigration status, political affiliations etc.
We helped one another eat, one another heal, one another repair, one another's children grow safely, one another's debts and homes to the best of our abilities no matter the cost. Organization and congregation of all peoples is what is needed.
US is about to pass 880 Billion dollar military budget. We are all sacrificial no matter who we are. Remember this and help one another live, my friends. Our lives mean nothing in this economy nor those who control this US society in the end, except to one another.
Thanks for the video. The climate crisis is causing erratic weather conditions that stunt the quality and growth of crops as well. There will be a food shortage/ lack of growth of home gardens in the years to come. Sending love to all, may we find a way.
My husband and I have been talking non-stop about these EXACT points for the last year or so. Its getting crazy, and the statistics on history of the market proves a recession / depression is near. We agree and are also on our own journey of settling down in east TN where we can be more self sufficient. loved the video!!
You guys are so on point and simply amazing. Bravo to two exceptional non emotional, well informed, non biased Gen Zrs.❤
Thanks for the compliments ❤️ Especially the Gen Z one … we are definitely Millennials but I totally enjoy that compliment!
China's population is not keeping with the demands needed for their workforce. Germany is going through a similar situation. Jobs need to come here and the U.S needs to promote vocational training.
US is a little slower, but running into the same demographic problems. It is mostly covered because of migrants wanting to work coming to the US. Cheap, because another country done the education investment and will probably do the old age one. But that supply is running low, there are very few countries left with an above 2.1 replacement rate birthrate. For total population what counts is China and India and they are either at or below 2.1 already. I think only Kenia is above replacement rate still. Worldwide number is somewhere between 2.5 and 2.1, so yes we are running low on young people. Also there is a dislike for baby girls, so they are aborted in favour of boys and then 20 years later the parents cry that there are no wives to be found for their precious boy ... So not only are there less children born, but the numbers are in some places skewerd towards boys over girls running op to ratios of 117 : 100, boy : girl (some parts of China). That has problematic consequences for the whole of society and the safety of women. Unlike with goods, when women are scarce they are not treated like they have value. And even less if the government gets in on it.
What worries me is the future of our grandchildren. Not everyone can buy land and homestead. How can one save money when your basic expense are out pacing your basic needs.
I hear what y'all are saying, nobody said this isn't going to hurt a lot, but to get back to being a self sustaining country and be economically sound it's going to be extreme. We've moved so far away from what we can once were, to get back to that is going to be worse than eating rice and beans every day.
Im very afraid, Last Wednesday I lost my job of three years. I am an older woman. Mid 50"s... Its gonna be very hard for me to find and hold a job. 😢

Make your own business. House sitting, house cleaning, homemade baked goods, pet sitting, home organizer, or whatever you're good at.
My girlfriend and I met online because we were on the same page ..we have 0 bills and lots of savings...TOOK YEARS
Thank you for talking about this. I am so worried. Politics aside, this is real and we have never seen economy fairies.
Very good video. I agree with everything you have conveyed. We have built our emergency fund in preparation for potential job loss, inflation and unexpected expenses. We live debt free including our home is paid for. Being content with what you currently have and not keeping up with the Jones' are keys to getting out of debt and staying out of debt. We drive older cars, pay cash for home projects, eat out very little, shop garage sales and thrift stores. We live below our means and have learned from prior financial mistakes not to repeat them.
You’re an inspiration. I’m coming out of financial mistakes and striving to get to where you are.
You guys are on point and you compliment each other nicely. Thank you for speaking facts.
You may or may not see this, but does Austin have his own channel? He is so knowledgeable in the realm of geopolitics and history. I would love to hear more of his thoughts on those subjects. Thank you both for this. You said all the things my wife and I have been saying for months now.
This is a fantastic video explaining very important issues that will affect us all soon. Thanks 🙏
Very informative! Thank you! Your husband should be included more. You guys are both so real and humble and are sharing tips so many people need to hear ❤
UK is much the same state. After Brexit(I didn't vote for) it ruined lots of small business and affected many more including mine because of the import export fees being totally unviable. Most of my customers were outside the UK. Bigger business could set up shop across the borders to avoid, but small business could not compete. Government living in lalaland! They bump their gums about getting the economically inactive into jobs to get manufacturing in the UK going but businesses are closing because of the higher NI contributions. Crazy all round! 😭😭😭
Our initial wealth as a nation was also built on "free" land. The cultural unwillingness to honestly study the source of that abundance really gets in the way of building a logical future of any kind of growth.
I loved this, guys. At work today, I saw new machines to help us do our jobs. I also believe they will not need American workers.
My thoughts on your video and it's content is BRAVO! You stated all the major issues that have been in my head for many months now. I have been preparing for the financial collapse for well over a year now. I was layed off in July and am 56 yrs old. The job market is bad and ageism is real. All that said, I will be able to ride out the coming collapse because I have always lived a frugal life of needs with the occasional want. My desire to buy a piece of land and create a food forest in an inexpensive part of PA is my dream/plan. My research to do that is what lead me to your awesome channel! This downturn will likely allow me the same opportunity you had to buy a farmette and realize that dream. Thank you for all you do. Great tutorial!
When economies anywhere in the world fail, what game is played? War!
Sadly, often yes.
I think when one bubble pops it is going to pop all the others. the only thing that is most likely going to do well is commodities. Those are real. I think if trade wars kick off these are going to surge. Wars could certainly escilate due to less and less resources being shared across the world. Could get intersting very quick.
You guys did a great job, keep up the good work.
I'm Australian and it's the same here.Its a problem all over the world. There's so much blaming either right or left side of politics
The real enemy are the corporations and oligarchs who are so obscenely wealthy and the massive flow of wealth to the top 1% at a faster rate than ever before
After covid which they benefited greatly from, the middle class virtually has disappeared
People lurch from one crisis to another and housing is at risk of being inaccessible for most People whether employed or not
And all sides of government are in the pocket of these elites so nothing will change unless there is a revolution or rising when people reach a tipping point and fight back
The tariffs will absolutely destroy the economy!!
As will lower rates. It's the driving nail in the coffin. People holding the dollar without having physical assets like gold and silver, etc will be the bagholders
Threat of tariffs work
Tariffs started in 2016 and inflation stayed low until the Biden administration. Its Bidenomics that increased inflation.
@tammyhenderson7107 Lol those countries don't need America 🤣
@@YHVH1483 I disagree. All other countries were suffering under Biden . They reply on America.
No, really, you guys did a great job making your points. I think you'll be surprised how positive the comments will be. What you said about how most of the world, most of the time, has had to do with much less... that's a very important thing to remember. ❤❤
I absolutely agree. It’s going to get pretty bad. I’m stocking up on forever foods, and I’ve never been a pepper! 😢
I got ran off my low paying job !? Tough times ahead !?😔🙏the working poor are ran in the ground can’t afford a roof food or health care or common goods I’m starting to wonder why work a job !?
That's why I quit. And I'm not going back until they lower the cost of living.
"It's the big companies fault". That's what I've been trying to get people to realize for years.
The companies importing goods are marking up the prices 1000%. Technically, they could adsorb the cost of tariffs, but they will use it as an excuse to raise prices.
It's not supply and demand, it's ability and willingness to pay. Advertising and promoting excuses raise people's willingness to pay.
Take credit cards for instance. They don't want you to pay more than the minimum payment. If you do, they will raise your credit limit. when things get bad enough that you start skipping payments, they know they are getting the maximum amount of money out of you.
With product prices, they find the point where people's ability to pay and willingness to pay meet. That's where they get the highest profit. Supply means nothing.
So, the average person will always struggle.
Great video, thank you. I really enjoy this type of post and hearing what you two discuss. I'm an optimistic realist....being a realist does tend to shove optimism in a corner but one can still have hope no matter how slight lol
Just a wonderful video. Thank you for this intelligent, rational, discussion of the big picture we’re all facing. I found it hopeful.
You are so right so many ppl can't cook from scratch!! I'm 44 as soon as we were all old enough we were stood at the cooker with my mum and my dad and they taught us all to cook bake shop for proper food not crap as she would say 😅 to many young ppl can't boil a egg , here in the UK it's the same very worrying time about the economy just gonna be prepared really good video you 2 ❤
I hadn't really thought too much about so many people not cooking until a man I didn't know commented at the grocery store that I must be a cook because I had ingredients in my cart instead of finished meals that only needed heating up. Now I think about it every time I go to the store.
You two are absolutely adorable to watch. Please do more of these chats please.
Lol you cracked me up when u said Jimmy Buffet! 😂
Thank you for your honesty!! You are so right about this , why is it so hard for others to see this. As a Mexican American I am so happy that others realize that immigrants are not the problem! Thanks again
The problem is Free money printing coupled with sanctions that led to dédolarisation. Now the rich white man wants the poor white man to think that his problems come from black and brown people. They don't want people turning against them.
I’m a realist too! I think for you to put on a video like this is truly heart warming just because you’re the younger generation. Im of a prepared mind as in I live this daily. Self sufficiency skills is our future. The USA is in the toilet pretty much. In order to survive this we will need to learn skills, living without certain things is going to be hard on many people as in not being able to go through the drive thru or going out to dinner like you use to because inflation is up 50% or more..instead of vacations when my kids were younger we did staycations, we own a 4-wheeler, and go-cart from like 2001 that we keep up on all maintenance ..my kids made a path in the woods up behind our house up on the hill, they put a tent up there with some tiki lights and would camp out overnight, we have a fire pit again this is like 18 yrs old so we would do the fire pit at night going into the woods getting a stock so they could roast not marshmallows but hotdogs wrapped in bacon..lol..weirdos..lol..have no idea where they got that from either. We had outdoor games with prizes I bought so the winner got a little something something..we fished our nearest watering hole, took a small canoe on the pond that my family owned..we did lots of barbecues. This was our source of entertainment..kids now days have no idea what that is like I don’t think anyway. Oh and one of our favorite things to do was to go blackcap, blackberry, raspberry and wild mulberry picking on the sides of the roads..did this every single year even up until they were 19/20 yrs old ..I have three sons and they loved it. I just learned how to make taper candles, love them..hoping to invest in a bee hive but will have to be at my brothers because hubby is allergic to bees. Love making herbal medicines and growing anything edible/medicinal. I feel for us all but the ones that have skills will be okay in my opinion..bartering is going to be a thing again in my opinion.
Seriously though I started the video, but I went straight to the comments first it’s my thing now when you guys put out a video😂 on a more serious note I completely agree with you guys times are gonna get tough rough and if you’re not prepared, so help you God
Facts, neither party was gonna fix America.
Our family has been preparing for this time in history. God bless Ya'll for sharing this information & the knowledge you have retained. Appreciate your channel ❤
I like the analogy about 6 blind men trying to describe an elephant - the elephant being the economy. The best way to learn about what is happening is keeping an open mind and listening to many view points.
I believe you should research 'special drawing rights basket of currencies'. This should alleviate some of your concerns.
I agree with your husband. It is up / down, not left / right.
My concerns and thoughts about the economy:
The poorest 40% of Americans are too poor to quality for paying federal taxes. Tariffs are a way to tax the poorest in America. Trump needs these tariffs to give the oligarchs a cut to their capital gains taxes.
I hate that the future American economy hangs on whether President Elect Trump is lying or telling the truth. If he is telling the truth, tariffs (and other countries imposing counter tariffs), austerity cuts, and kicking out the migrant workforce are all inflationary policies. If he does these things, I believe recession summer 2025 ish. I am particularly concerned about the specific things the oligarch Elon Musk wants to cut such as VA healthcare. However, if he is lying or is unable to accomplish these things, then status quo give or take for the economy.
Definitely a much needed discussion…going into protection mode. It’s a real thing.
Trust In God with all of your heart lean not to your own understanding and he will direct your way Proverbs 3:5-6
You guys are such fun to watch. You keep life real. I like living below the hype. Second hand everything or make it myself. I have no interest in trying to keep up an image. Much more relaxing. I have lots of Grandkids and I dont have money to spend but I have lots of time,,,and I love having conversations with them about what is happening in their world......the funniest ones are with the little ones,,,twin 5 year olds and a two year old,,,,,,they see life clearly
I recommend you check out Ursula LeGuin's book of essays titled "No Time to Spare". Some of the essays speak to this issue. "Clinging Desperately to a Metaphor" starts off with a quote, "Unless people benefit, economic growth is a subsidy for the rich." "Lying It All the Way" about when president Truman dared to ask that we refrain from meat twice a week (the audacity!) There ae so many though-provoking, short essays in this book. Highly recommend.
Thanks so much for the recommendation! ❤️
I'm only worried about when the bubble will burst. We need to pay close attention to the unemployment and initial claims.
You guys did a great job! Well done! Important points for everyone to consider.
The idea of American dream is a childhood dream. All children have dreams if they are fed some food in a relaxed manner (that will help), loved in a relaxed manner and kept sheltered in a relaxed manner.
Great video! I so agree with you both. It is just baffling to me that so many Americans (including people in my own family) think having a certain political party in office is going to lower prices and "fix" all the issues. We are in the process of building a chicken coop to hopefully increase our sustainability. Thanks for sharing.
Every four years we hear that crap. Two ends of the same turd. Some people never learn.
This harks back to the day of Victory Gardens in WW1 and WW2.
Thank you for sharing. You both do a great job making a video together.
Of course we are a consumer country now. Too many Americans don’t want to work anymore. They want a free handout or a government check and not work a day for it. Good help is super hard to find these days.
They did want to work before their jobs got sent off.Also it’s not very inspiring to work for a wage that isn’t livable.When I started working I made 5.15 an hour at a grocery store 20 years later minimum wage has only gone up to 7.25.
I agree with you that things are going to get worse. A lot of other things you said not so much. Prepare in the good times for the bad because it is cyclical. Research how to be more sustainable. No whining about it because it will not change anything. Be adaptable. Live simply.
We as a nation allowed this problem to happen and now we will pay the price.
You are so right! I bought a “made in the USA” white women’s T-Shirt = $70!!!!! I can buy one at Walmart or Amazon for $7. So that is 10 times as much. Now the quality is better, organic cotton etc…..so it may not be exactly apples to apples. But the Walmart T shirt has freight all the way from China too and the USA T shirt had freight from California.
It doesn’t matter what side people are on. An economic downturn is inevitable and I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already. That’s why we prepare. Hopefully we can all be ready when it does happen.
I’m trying to convince my husband to retire in Mexico, IM in Southern California, and I just don’t see things getting any better, mind you we are in our early 50’s.
I like your plan 😊
Loved this content. I always need a little wake up and shake up once in awhile
Your video is right on ...I agree with you both we are a nation that is very divided and we need to pull together if not we are only hurting ourselves. I am really considering leaving bc of our divided nation ...its sad
Thank you for the information. I have watched your channel for years and have learned so much.!
Great talk guys. I totally agree with you and I'm just bracing myself and have some money available and some food stock. We just literally have to go with the flow! Love you guys!
Well you just gained a subscriber ! If people don't want to hear the truth that's their loss.
Thank you both for this video! Kudos for presenting a non-biased take, a rarity these days.
I invested in Bitcoin and ETH and it’s paid well. If I need to leave the states, I now have enough to restart in another country.
What you say makes sense. I have felt definitely since 2020 things will get messed up and get bad. I feel like it will get worse. In many ways. But I think there’s many that ignore it and just go about their daily routine. Scary
I agree with almost everything you say. Except the economies of Russia and China both economies are in trouble, look at how Chinas housing crisis has led them into economic trouble and have you seen the price of butter in Russia? Lower cost of living in other countries doesnt always equal safe or happy. Ive been researching more frugal whole food cooking... 5 years ago I slowly found a way to love beans. For me its not panic buying but I do stock up. People should research the UK'S cost of living crisis or "heat or eat". Might be a good idea of where we are heading. I choose to focus on being prepared, happiness and finding free joy. Nature is a tonic, family is free. Remember you can grow greens and veg even on an apartment balcony!
That's right, inflation is not only in USA but worst in other countries.
I think America goes into a depression worse than the Great Depression, but first we either hyperinflate or stagflation. Once we start to dive (bubbles pop) its game over. Now as bad as it will be in America it is going to be at least 5 times as bad everywhere else. I really worry for people.
Me too, Add in all these natural disasters and we are in for a world of pain
The crash of America dollar will come like the fall of Syria. If you look back at history when hyperinflation happens better have your money invested in the market, land,and gold than hoarding cash.
Or even bitcoin
Such a good video. Facts are the best way to go.
When I was a kid there were people in town who built vending machines, commerciall freezers, break parts and breaks, fish tank pumps, textiles and more then Raegun came IN ns those went bye bye then the family/mom and pop places went.
First off, I don't think this was a political video. I do believe the stock market is wayyy over valued and I am expecting it to crash. There is a major disconnect between the market and inflation. I worry about how my children in their 20s will be able to afford a decent lifestyle. I am preparing by having no debt or mortgage and saving as much as we can each month. I would love a video on how to find property that has acreage. Just basic steps like did you get a realtor, what things to consider like proximity to healthcare and stores.
You two are very wise for being so young (relative to me. I'm older).
