DIY is risky because of the market's volatility. To succeed in investing, you do not have to figure out who will be the next NVDA. Select dividend aristocrats, premium ETFs, and a reliable advisor. An amazing accomplishment occurred when I converted $180k into $20k in quarterly dividends.

If you’re seeing this and you’re poorer than you’ve ever been and you went from living comfortably to now living month to month…. You’re not the crazy one. They’re just trying to gaslight us into thinking that everything is okay.

A robust 2.8 % give me a break, I didn't even get that high of a percentage in my last raise, even though the company was recording record profits.

[ryansmith]

The economy is up! While every graph they just showed is red lol

[anneliedorman]

Doesn't mean nothing for us middle class people

These people live in a bubble. Media elites do not live in the same neighborhoods, send their kids to the same schools, or experience the same hardships. As long as the approved person is in the White House everything is just roses to them.

Kamala gets the nomination and suddenly we get positive news.

I hate the US media machine.

Govt spending 1 trillion every 100 days

Give me a break. How much are groceries for a family of 5? Gas prices ? How much is rent ?

[buckdown]

Not possible with all the wasted war funds

[kspen]

And inflation was 3% during same quarter. Not really growth when you are fleecing your own people.

[mre-ukzo]

Bs ...messing with the numbers...economy not growing

[cujoedaman]

In other news: Gas just hit $4 a gallon in most places when this report came out.

[MagikSpellzz]

Can yall not blatantly misinform and lie to people lmfao

[RibeyeJonesey]

Imagine if they reported on trumps accomplishments with as much enthusiasm as the current administration’s shortcomings.

[XenoHCS]

I wish I understood how they say the economy has improved so much yet I am paying more for food, housing is way too expensive, my rent went up, the price of the shoes I’ve gotten the last decade went from $90 to $135 in the last few years … very interesting.

[David_in_Michigan]

Anyone else questioning the accuracy of these numbers?
