I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for.

I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I’d suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes...

The economy is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, but it's getting stronger compared to other currencies and things like gold and property. People are turning to the dollar because they think it's safer. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of high inflation. Where else can we keep our money?

It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

100% Agree. They are aggressively trying to push us into a fascist world (actual fascism), with "Stakeholder Capitalism" which is not capitalism at all. With their "Too Big To Fail" banks (aka fascism). This is why they are so aggressively working to buy politicians and pushing the WEF policies. It would be MUCH better if we had a great many options, but these fascists mega corporations PAY more to have more regulation, thus killing competition before it starts.

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

You’re speaking to AI and no longer with people and you’re getting charged way more for the same or way less services. Then you look at Blackstone real estate acquisitions. Simply the housing side is rental at exorbitant prices. No fan of Blackstone here despite Steve Forbes being a person for the little guy and yet his admiration for this gentleman.

Average wealth per citizen is greater than almost any other developed country(that is through the lens of personal wealth vs. cost of living). They run pretty lean businesses over there and don't like taking on debt, so I'm not sure how much luck private equity has convincing the highest potential to take it on. If anything, we should be moving there rather than seeding their businesses.
