9:35 This was done in my homeland too. I'm from Venezuela, which is pretty much Latin America's version of North Korea in all but name. For years I was saving up money so I could flee the country, only for the government to render that money useless by slicing off five zeroes off of our currency. Effectively making everyone's savings be worth pennies under the new denomination. It ruined nearly 3 years of hard savings but I learned my lesson and so did the rest of the country. Most transactions are done in dollars these days, and when I resumed saving money, I would exchange it, at outrageously inflated rates, to US Dollars to preserve their value. It was worth it, I eventually managed to break free by the tail end of 2019

Building wealth and remaining financially stable indefinitely is a lot easier with the appropriate information. Participating in financial programs and products is the only true approach to make a high income and remain affluent indefinitely.

Most people simply enter the foreign exchange market without comprehending matters like this. The first stage in building money is determining your goals and risk tolerance, which you may do on your own or with the assistance of a financial counselor who works with a verified Finance agency. And also you can learn the facts about saving and investing and create a clear plan, you should be able to acquire financial security over time and enjoy the benefits of income management.

You’re right! Working with a financial advisor who has worked in a solid financial firm for a long time, such as John D. Heppolette, will actually set you up for success in life. I'm delighted I was able to reach out to him earlier this year because while others were grumbling about the downturn in the markets due to the state of the economy, I was busy learning from him and eventually made over seven figures in the first quarter alone, which is why it's always good to join the correct community.

It's a little different but entirely that. Think of it this way: is there another country on earth that has been forced to rely on so little trade outside its borders? Even the sanctions against Cuba are less draconian. Also keep in mind that the Korean war is technically not over yet! When you don't have international trade you have to rely entirely on the resources within your borders, that can leave you with deficits in all sorts of things if you want to develop your technology, and it's really bad when it comes to growing an economy, so DPRK has to make do with an economy that grows very very little if at all. Relevance, or, not being squeezed by the United States at all times, is their ticket out of being a backwater that needs to do secret things in order to acquire resources it does not have within its borders.

That was in the 90s, and it's one of the major events that forced them to become very self-sufficient. Nowadays the only claims of starvation in North Korea you'll see are in clickbaity titles and propaganda pieces - even according to the CIA World fact book they are actually fairing much better than other countries with similar GDP per capita levels... Edit: Of course there is scarcity of certain goods in North Korea, part of it due to the regime's not-giving-a-fuck-about-the-people "military first" policy and part from international sanctions, but scarcity of specific goods is a much more mild issue than, you know, mass starvation...
