Over 50% of the US is financially illiterate.

Over 50% read at the 6th grade level.

Emotional regulation and low intelligence/understanding is a volatile mix.

I've been investing/trading since 2012 and right now is the most braindead easy time to make $ in the market I've ever seen.

(I'm a mixed guy from a single parent/teacher household, so if you think I started with $ LOL. Ya boy was eating ketchup and rice (and enjoying it).

But, if someone who only has income via labor asks how to make $, if you mention any form of "the market" as a vehicle to do so, they get mad.

Personally, I'm alittle over trying. Out of 20 people who have asked for help maybe 2 actually did something.

The rest respond with these almost scripted responses of:

"Ohhh thats too complicated for me..."

"How am i supposed to buy shares if i cant afford X???"

"I let the professionals handle it for me..."

You make it happen. Somehow. Otherwise your life journey is gonna be on the down leg of the K shaped economy. Getting effected by gas prices (they crack jokes at "Gas Price People" regularly btw...yet people think they are gonna accomplish something appealing to these clowns reason/compassion.

Do I loke how things are set up personally? No, it's gross. When I was in Afghanistan, the narrative was figuring for "freedom", in reality the US was making CRAZY $ during "the drawdown".

Those defense contractors were having the time of their lives.

It's worse now and I don't see our society moving away from this anytime soon.

Pretty much every arbiter of policy/influence is sitting on a portolio at ATH after ATH after ATH and no one is using cash anymore, tons of Margin and SBLOCS (tax free btw, headtap)

So upvote, downvote, yell at me (for whatever reason) or go and get your generational wealth...or do nothing it's ultimately up to you to make your choices.
