The bank told me I can't afford a $1200 mortgage so I'm paying $2000 a month in rent instead.

The United States as we know it is no more. All signs point to 2024 being a year of significant economic hardship for the entire nation. Put your cash to use straight away to increase its value. I was aware that I needed to invest. I had no idea how quickly a few thousand dollars a month would go up. Though it is. Since 2020, I've made about $600, 000.

I’ve been working full time now for over 20 years. I’m kind of getting sick of it. I sometimes fantasize about selling my house, buying a cheap unit in a trailer park out in the sticks, and living frugally off all my savings for the next few decades.

This is bigger than what you see. I was living in my truck for 7 mos to save my retirement to find a home. Did my laundry every weekend and met families living in their cars, the man worked at night the women took care of the kids then the women worked in the day. I started donating to the laundry fund to help these families. Many houses had 10 cars in their front yard, families renting a spot. Most of these people lost their rental as the result of Zillow buying properties and rentals doubled in price, the reason I went homeless. I have a good civil service retirement, worked since I was 12, a Vietnam Vet and to preserve a comfortable retirement I live abroad with a normal woman and I pay my taxes in America. This is worse than the depression that stole my grandfathers property.

As someone who works at a pawn shop, it's true, there are more people now coming into pawn shops who have never had to use one before. Its insane. My store is literally overloaded.

alcohol and cigarettes are expensive, most of the people i know who smoke and drink would rather starve than quit or cut down on either.

Shout out to Les! Such a nice guy and a hard worker! He's a legend in Detroit!

[joevette]

Imagine having to pawn jewelry that has been handed down from your grandparents and now gone forever!!

I know a local pawn shop owner, and what he tells me is REALLY disturbing. He tells me everyday people are coming in trying to sell every item you can think of just to pay the monthly bills. He told me he's never seen anything like this, and he's been in business since 1981!! He even had to hire a security guard because of the amount of people coming in, many of which don't buy but are there to steal. I've been there to visit him and it's so freakin sad hearing peoples stories and just the look of fear on peoples faces, somethings got to give.

40 years of money printing finally hits, but we don't wanna say that

People I drive an 18-wheeler and stop at various walmarts across the United States. You try buying groceries, and you will spend over 100 dollars. Better wake the F@@@ up.

Pawn shops rip you off whether you are buying, selling, or borrowing.

[rdrd]

he should tell the truth, pawn shops thrive when people are hard up

[WeThePeoplewineoneone]

Because of the need these pawn shops take more advantage of the customers and barely give them 1/10 of the value of the items purchased. The only winner is the shop owners

College kids can’t pay back their student loans, but they all have money to go on spring breaks every year🥺🥺
