I’m thinking if people are strapped, it is not because of overspending. Is it possible that our form of capitalism doesn’t work for the average American?

I’m not sure what the answer is but we have too many Americans living paycheck to paycheck, unable to afford a comfortable lifestyle without the worry of major medical and housing expenses. Whether that is the fault of the extremely wealthy, I don’t know.

Great article about crypto (I refer to it as creepto) which is one investment that is rarely if at all discussed in HD. Thank you Adam.

I am not going to opine about taxes. I will state my opinion on the debt and deficits. We wouldn’t be in this position if the world wasn’t willing to lend us money at these low rates. if say Japan said I want 15% for that 10 year note, see how quickly we balance the budget.

I have a 2011 Versa. Worth about $2000. I do not want a new car so I keep spending money to take care of it. We go on long road trips and it’s been perfect once repairs needed are made. Some sample repairs are new clutch assembly, new brakes and not a repair but new tires. All this cost a few times the value. But did I say I do not want a new car?

I always like to tell the story of my family and cars. We never had a car ever until I went to college and then we had that same car a tiny manual Honda civic for 13 years until we bought another Honda civic.

Yes, I agree 100%. I had an investment plan until the beginning of April, liberation day. I have not invested a penny since then and will not do so until I feel comfortable. I don’t know when that will be.
