End of the Road: How Money Became Worthless

In 2008 the world experienced one of the greatest financial turmoils in modern history.  Markets around the world started crashing, stock prices plummeted, and major financial institutions, once thought to be invincible, started showing signs of collapse. Governments responded quickly, issuing massive bailouts and stimulus packages in an effort to keep the world economy afloat. Although we’ve been told that these drastic measures prevented a total collapse of our system, a sense of unease fills the population. In the world of finance, indeed in all facets of modern life, cracks have started to appear.  What lies ahead as a result of these bold money printing measures?  Was the financial crisis solved, or were the problems merely kicked down the road?

These are extremely useful rules for anyone looking to grow rich. Unfortunately, the majority of individuals that see this video will be unable to implement the ideas. We may not like to acknowledge it, but as Warren Buffett famously stated, investing is like any other profession: it takes a certain amount of knowledge. It's no surprise that some people are losing a lot of money during the bear market, while others are profiting by hundreds of thousands. I'm just not sure how they do it. I now have around $570k to invest in the market.

The U.S. economy relies on ongoing credit and debt generation for sustenance. The Federal Reserve is expected to increase the money supply, leading to further debt accumulation for the average American. Meanwhile, foreign nations continue to desire the U.S. dollar, despite their own economies facing significant challenges, some even worse than that of the U.S. This situation raises concerns about who will ultimately bear the consequences of these economic dynamics.

Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.

How is this documentary not blocked? You are spitting facts and yet you are still alive. I love this channel. Big up guys.

Finally this documentary has answer my question. My wife and I are both nurses working 45hours weekly yet standard of living is poor.

My main worry for 2024 is how to increase my $240k reserve, which has been sitting idle for a very long time with little to no profits.know how much risk they can handle and diversify their portfolio. Some folks get help from money experts or do their homework before making investment moves. It's all about being smart with your funds.

The root cause of all the problems we have now is what happened on December 23th 1913. Minimalism started as some "cult"-like behavior but it is actually a very smart thing to do. Stay out of debt as much as you can. 2008 was never resolved and what's waiting for us ain't pretty.

The best message here is, find out what's going on for yourself and empower yourself. Not just in finance, but in education, healthcare and international systems. Don't trust corrupt governments. They don't serve our interests. It's a big club and we're not in it !

This should be MANDATORY to watch this video for American students in ALL school

On August 15, 1971 I was 8 days from age 17. I had $1, 000 in the bank, saved since I was born .
I worked as a paper boy at age 13, and had a few jobs as well as a landscaping business where my friends and I mowed 50 lawns every two weeks, did gutters and snow in fall and winter .
The $1, 000 I had in the bank would have bought exactly 28.5 Troy ounces of pure gold, worth $57, 000 today at $2, 000/ an ounce . That explains it all .

[Hondeer]

I've been working about 20 years now. My hours have gotten longer and my income has gone up three fold, my standard of living has dropped to less than what it was 15 years ago. We live *well* within our budget with everything thankfully paid off, never take vacations, buy store brand food and repair everything ourselves. But it's getting worse. I don't want all the hard work I've done through my life to be taken away due to a select few bankers in the FED.

Finally a lecture in economy that is not presented in jibberish.

The number of children that an average family can afford, plan to bear, and really have, should be used as an important national index of economic situation.

Printing money doesn't help ordinary people, it just increases the price of everything and reduces the buying power of your money.

how are there not thousands of films screaming this from the

[Dr.MorsIcatis]

There are a lot of people out here blaming capitalism for many of the worlds woes but I truly believe that it was the removal of the gold standard that broke this system. Without gold they took a system that only could achieve relatively slow growth yet stable growth to one that was unlimited and fast. They back up money with money and if that money isn't worth anything except our collective acceptance of it's value, it's bogus. They basically took something tangable and made it make belief because, now they could make up and back any decision they wanted to make. They made a real thing in to something mythical and made it almost to a religion, church of the dollar.

Who are they? Bankers and politicians - remember, they are the true enemy.

[amwf_king]

And then the government / IRS has the audacity to tell me I'm fucking wrong.

[permaACP]

Im 24 years old and have been researching our economy for the past 8 years, and trust me, the dollar will hyper-inflate in our life times. Love you all
God bless America

Funny how Muammar Gaddafi tried to make a gold backed African Dinar to be Africas one currency but for some odd reason Gaddafi had to go.
