If The Economy Is So Great Why Can't Most People Miss One Paycheck?

I think it all starts when your very young.

Absolutely. And it's not just the values instilled, it's the very concept of having a safety net and support structure that allows you to sieze opportunities, take risks, and even sometimes fail.

It was one thing to be able to attend college. It was quite another to actually get by and pay electric bills, amd rent , and to eat, and to afford textbooks and supplies. More than once I saw kids just not make it, because they had no good support structure.

I guess you could ask 100 economist that question and get at least 150 answers. I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

rather interesting responses, and from sorts that've been around....laying blame on the trappings or greed of this generation ......while quoting gub'mit economical stats as validation.

you folks do realize they'll foist any uptick as their successful cure, simutaneously blaming their predecessors for the disease

so much of it's an economic moment in time, their usual deceptive metric.

little consideration seems available for say, 40-50 years juxtaposed to the middle class lifestyle , well being, worth.

which is about my working tenure, and yes i remember when a blue collar could have a stay @ home wife, one income white picket fence suburbia existence

I guess some of you forgot that....

~S~

I have not. Isn't that what MAGA is about?

Middle class lifestyle now vs then is easy to ring up MM

Many factors comprise any given economy, but the one simple fact of a vanishing middle class has been on the table for a generation now

No one administration will either take responsibility , nor provide remedies

we all want 'happy days' ,and they keep selling us slogans that don't lead to them

unless you're 1% of the top 1%.....

~S~

Given the unwise too much freedoms is the cause.

Can never have too much freedom or personal responsibility.

Wrong dead wrong

Try too much freedoms on 3 year olds

 

[GreenAndBlue]

The unwise not obeying the wise is the CAUSE !!

So any way, I have taught all my kids how to invest in the stock market. I have told them about the highs the lows, the dividend income, that if a Socialist like Bernie gets in, to sell everything and buy gold, but if we continue to have FREE markets, they will over a long period of time have over 5 million dollars each if they invest it in the market with dividends paying 6-11% annually reinvested. So when they achieve 55 they can if they want retire and on 5 million dollars at 11% dividend paid out, that is $550,000 a year and only pay around 5% taxes on that non earned income. Too many people doubt this, which is why they remain poor, but that is their choice...

if they invest it in the market with dividends paying 6-11% annually reinvested.

Which of your holdings is paying you 11%?

The economy is only doing well if you are in the top 10%. For everybody else, not so much.

A. Because wages still suck
B. Because the newer generations spend too much money on stuff they don't need.

Case in point: We previously lived in a house that was built in 1955. The closets were small, not a lot of storage space. That was OK. We didn't need much storage space because we don't shop and acquire.
The house across the street sold to a young couple around 30-ish years or so, it's a big house, around 3500 square feet.
They not only filled the house up with crap but then had to add a STORAGE shed in the back to hold more crap they didn't need.

A. Because wages still suck

8 years of Obama with over $9 trillion added to the debt and wages still suck?

 

[GreenAndBlue]

The unwise cannot handle freedoms as well as the wise

Outrageous how humans cannot understand


We clearly understand about 3 yr olds

But somehow people think adults are all wise

Not at all

Give freedoms to loons and watch

Let them out of the loony bins and watch

Freedoms must be controlled

Because they haven't been able to save any money because Obama was screwing us all.

The unwise voted for Obama

And voted against their savior Ross Perot years ago

I see the Obama Tourette's syndrome is still flaring up...

And the unwise voters voted Obama in

Why?

Because jobs don’t pay worth a shit anymore.

 

[GreenAndBlue]

Hollaring Freedoms to all is the cause of all of this

Outrageous harm

Fake news.

Yes, you did. You conveniently did not quote it here. so I can't shove it up your ass!

do you like shoving things up mens ass's???

its OK if you do,,,but sorry I dont swing that way

You know you'd love it! Why else would you do thing to force others to make it happen?

NOPE,,,a doctor used his finger when I was 15 and I vowed never again,,,so I will most likely die from undiagnosed colon cancer

Ignorance usually results in death at some time or another. You will just be further proof.

Besides, if you think back, I'll bet both of his hands were on your shoulders at the time!

it was a funny story,,,he said he wanted to do a rectal, I looked at my dad and he said he was going to stick his finger in my butt,,,I said like fuck he is,,,

and how could his finger be in my ass if both his hands are on my shoulders


admiral dumbass is a good name for you

It wasn't his finger!
