I plan to retire at 62 in another country outside the US that is free, safe and very cheap with a high quality of life. I could fully just rely on only my SS if I wanted to when that time arrives but I'll also have atleast one pension, a 403 (b) and a very prolific investment account with Susan Jane Christy, my FA. Retiring comfortably in the US these days is almost impossible

I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.

But the products are already expensive and the money is going to executives who are making millions in compensation and bonuses while crying because front line workers want a living wage. When McDonald's jacked up their prices it wasn't because they intended to give those workers a big raise!

I like Stephanie. She is always on point.

No port strike, great jobs report!! Hide the Ketchup at mara lardo!!

[sirve]

the economy is good the only thing bad is corporate greed and price gouging and if the inflation can just tick down a tiny bit more we should be good

[spike]

Harris / Walz , middle class strength made better 💙💙💙 ,

[dannyspitzer]

More ketchup hitting the walls in Mar A Lardo

Trump: " but, but the economy is bad because nobody wants to buy my watches!"

A person making minimum wage will spend ALL of their money locally. CEOs and the investor class don't spend their money locally.

[RomeoGD]

I hear you Stephanie (at the end), "BUT" these Corporations and CEO's have been making RECORD PROFITS, year after year, for AT LEAST the last
15-20 years IN A ROW!!
Those higher wages to their Employees should NOT be passed along to the Consumers 😡
It's not going to hurt them to Profit-share a little more with their Slaves, who are making them EXTRAORDINARILY RICH 🙄🙄

[HelHathNoFury]

OMG, market people are ❄️. Wall Street had ANOTHER all-time record high this week. Jobs are ↗️. Inflation ↙️. Even interest ↙️. But the sky is falling ❄️❄️❄️. 🙄

Consider diversifying your retirement portfolio by allocating a small portion to Bitcoin, staying informed on market trends, and focusing on long-term holding strategies to manage risk and potential growth.

[bridgetcollins]

Funny how no one cares when CEOs get big bonuses.

If you can give CEOs big bonuses, you can raise wages for the front line workers. Just cut their bonuses.

Well the MAGA cult won’t like this!!! 🗳️💙🗳️💙🗳️💙🗳️💙

President Kamala Harris will add millions of more jobs to the economy and make America even better! ❤ Harris Walz 2024!

[romangeneral]

250K jobs added yet I have applied to over 50 positions and not a single response.
Why is it so difficult to find a job then ?

[vaseline]

But! But! what happened to the 1929 style depression

Thank you Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for repairing the mess Trump left when he got fired and kicked out.

[tomrasely]

The economy is just fine, thanks. And maybe just to prove that, a MAGA guy in Texas (of course it's Texas) bid $4, 000 for a guitar that was supposed to be signed by Taylor Swift, just so he could smash it. Um...it turns out it was NOT sign ed by TS.
