  • Most people are broke because they have no clue how to manage their finances properly and are lazier than ever. But today I'm talking with my best friend who is practically my brother growing up on how the average person can manage their finances and still get ahead without becoming a millionaire. And even though this economy is trash you can still thrive if you know how to stretch a dollar.

      You’re going to love this story Michael. Just happened last week. Working with two 20-somethings. Guy calls in sick on Friday. He calls out all day long even though he’s working remotely. Then comes back Monday and brags about how he went to California for the weekend. He said this in a meeting with the boss man sitting right there listen. Know what the boss did? He laughed it off.
      The fastest way to get your crew to lose their motivation is to not address those who are screwing up. To me, I don’t know, but I think it’s a screw up if you’re healthy enough to fly cross country but too sick to work in your home at your desk.
      That’s the mentality of some these days.

      Since when is working for an agreed upon wage “exploitation”? If you think you bring more to a company than they’re willing to compensate you for, don’t work there. Find a job elsewhere. And if you can’t find that job, maybe it’s not the companies that are the problem. Maybe you have overestimated your worth to these companies. Which is what I suspect the problem is with this generation in particular.

Or why does a Walmart employee who changes oil or rotates tires deserve the same pay as a crane operator? I’ll answer it for you, they don’t deserve the same pay. If you go out and bust your ass and join a union or get certifications/ qualifications then you deserve the better pay. Every union is taking applications for apprentices but guess what? They’re not being filled because people are LAZY and don’t have the work ethic and just want to make the most money with the least amount of work possible.

No matter how hard you work in the communist system, you will still make the same pay and live in the same place as everyone else. I see some validity to this argument but I also see that this is a perfect explanation of what is happening now. No matter hard you work, your situation will not improve. So why work hard?

All 4 full-time jobs I would take the opportunity to move up when it was offered to me. All 4 of them had the same thing in common though which was to pay me as little as possible for even more responsibility which led to me being burnt out down the road and moving on. I got so tired of being paid little for my hard work, not being appreciated, dealing with the insane amount of incompetence, and being awarded in food that I decided to learn how to code and be an independent game developer which is what I do now.

Administrators don't care you have a heart attack, a man that's been stabbed, a patient on a ventilator and the patients keep coming. We use to care for 4 patients at a time. Nope, with all the illegals we are now at 6, 7 patients. Go faster harder to meet their quota. They hire less people & we do not get the salary of those they do not hire. Rush and break our backs or make a medical mistake and harm someone? Get outta here. It's the same for other industries. More work, less staff, less pay less benefits.

      Industrial workplaces have a strategy to keep worker lethargy from setting in. Every 4 years or so they end contracts with employers then award the work to some other company causing massive layoffs and turnover. Workers have to keep applying to other employers to keep working. Then they can also hire people with 15 years experience as entry level because everyone is now entry level again.
      Every time they do it they lose people who don't cone back. Now there's labor shortages and industrial sites have zero interest in training or retaining anybody. If the economy wasn't in total free fall along with the labor shortages the shortages would be very noticeable.

The "Job for life" ended then. The inflation was much higher - interest on a house mortgage was 18 percent. Food prices were wild. Gas - You got in line only to be turned away because they are all out. It's really insulting to hear this "Boomers had it so good".

I understand that. We had an excellent 4 years around 2016-2020. I noticed that companies were hiring and offering sign on bonuses. Who are you going to vote for?
      I want to relate this story to you: Just recently I went into a gas station and bought a large coffee. It cost 1.70 and at the counter I gave the young man a five dollar bill. He didnt know what to do. He could not make change. So, I showed him how to make change and count the change back correctly. He smiled and said "That is pretty neat. They didnt teach that in school". Now, I do not fault him but I do fault the schools. How are you going to get a job when your skills are almost non existent? Our current government is the reason things are so hard. Most young adults have not experienced hard times and thus have nothing to compare it too. So, They say - "No, These times are worse". I m just here to tell you that they are about the same. However, They are going to get worse. The only reason the stock market is up so much is because of government spending. Government spending also causes inflation. When and if T*rump wins then they will quit spending and attempt to crash things and blame it on T*rump. So, Things will get worse. Im sorry and feel bad for all the young adults. The only advice I can give is vote right and start a side job and work hard to grow it into a full time job. Then you do not have to depend on these companies that will treat you unfairly.

When you add what I stated above to an already over taxed work force people have had it. They are done with being handled like human assets; like machines. They are no longer willing to jump thru hoops or make extraordinary efforts in response. That is what I think is at the bottom of what has been referred to as “silent quitting”. They are being asked to do what is almost impossible to sustain and as a result the workers “don’t care” if things get piled up, delayed, left undone.

      so it's not about hustle, you can hustle 10 times as much but prices are 20 times more than in the 1970's, there are about 62% more people in the USA, so there are about 1.62 times more competition for everything... so it's not just hustle, it's just that the politicians broke the economy because they want to install communism and give you a guaranteed income and be their slaves

We desperately need to work to rekindle the love of work as well as actual stewards of our Republic in government and places of power. We need stewards of “we the people,” and not they the banksters, greet reset parasites etc. Be kind. Always. Out lies. Always. Be the example for others to follow.

    I really like this guest. The things he says really reminds me of how I grew up, very poor. Some might say that it was unfortunate to grow up this way but it was the best blessing of my life. I'm extremely lucky that I found a woman that has the same ideas when it comes to money. Just little things like making coffee at home instead of going to Starbucks or making homemade meals, doing those things really adds up at the end of the month.
    The one thing I will say I've learned from owning a home, if you don't know how to do something, hire someone and watch them. For example, we had an insect guy come over and offer a deal where it was $129 every quarter to spray around and inside the house. He came over one time, I wrote down the backpack sprayer he used, the spider web extending pole thing, the pole saw to get branches from touching the house, the chemical he used and his methods of spraying. I cancelled the service the next day and bought everything off of Amazon for about $200 and I do it all myself now. Same thing with cleaning your fireplace, it's not rocket science, just hire the person one time and get the same equipment and use the same methods. Just those two things saves me about $1,000 a year.

    This is a perspective things. I’m a receiving associate factory who deals with truckers like this all the time. He says he doesn’t wanna go into overtime, but what he doesn’t realize is that MANY of us are on mandatory overtime ourselves and spending the entire day it very hot/uncomfortable conditions. We’re also given one 20 minute break for lunch per day and told by management the schedule for that break is set in stone (as they leave the building for their hour-hour and a half long lunches). When we tell guys like this we have to load/unload him after break it’s because our corporate assholes in charge don’t give us a choice in the matter.
    I’m not gonna say there aren’t lazy ones out there, but there are just as many lazy truck drivers. I work 70+ bourse per week most of the time and this guy would prejudge me as ‘lazy’ based on his minimal interaction with me without actually seeing what I deal with hour by hour and day to day. Perspective is everything.

    I agree,I work with kids between 18 and 25,they are lucky if they get 20 hours a week and whine all the time, i dont get enough hours and yet when they need them on their day off,nope,cant do it they say,I'm sorry, but they are lazy and have no pride in what they do,won't help orhers,call in sick all the time and the friggin company caters to them.
    I'm 70 work at a hotel cleaning rooms,help in laundry if needed,never call in,work if they call me on my day off and can work circles around these kids.

      If they work that extra day, Will they get more taxes deducted from their pay? Will they get the time back from their day ? I've worked for extra hours and didn't feel like my check was what I worked after working extra hours, so I adapted, instead of relying upon one job, I'm doing other side jobs where I get 100% of the revenue instead of getting taxed for the extra hours I worked from one job. It really isn't worth coming in, trading time for extra money you probably won't see until you file taxes

      I do when I have to. Often barter for others labor/time. I don't believe in "I cant...". It may take longer, but I rarely find too much I really can't do. Usually, it's a strength thing where I don't have room for mechanical strength to help. Never done it before? Well there's a first time for everything.

Its shameful that being productive is no longer rewarded properly, but it's almost universally true at this point. Thieves write the rules, and every action normal people take to improve their condition is attached to a large portion of robbery via strings conjured by the criminals who run this perverse society. The old people can't seem to empathize with the young, for some reason.

      They don't just want results fast, they see the system for what it is like never before - a bunch of bs. When inflation is outpacing real income and the gap is only growing by the minute, you have to be a some kind of spiritual titan not to get completely demoralized from what's going on. In fact, open borders and uncontrolled immigration is the elites emergency plan to band aid their crumbling system. And flush the citizens and whole younger generation down the toilet. I'm glad more and more people are waking up to what's happening.
