Comment terry that 36 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 4: America is the brocus has ever been. You have to 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 4: change your lifestyle and companies have to layoff thousands of workers. 38 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: So is America as brocused? Is that even a word? 39 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: I'm not sure? But is America as brocused as it's 40 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: ever been? 41 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 3: Of course, Boosey is not an economist by any stretch 42 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: of the imagination, but. 43 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: Thank you for the disclaimer. 44 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's not an iconic class like our guest 45 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 3: is coming on. But it's interesting when I see Cardi 46 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: talk about politics, Boosey talk about the economy. I do 47 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 3: feel there's a titan is America in the worst financial 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: shape has ever been in I don't think so, but 49 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: I will say things are a lot tighter, like GDP 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: fel one point six percent in Q one compared to 51 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: three point four percent last year. Even the fall of 52 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 3: Tesla over the last two months has been reflective. Apple 53 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 3: being down has been reflective. Retail sales are not as 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 3: amazing as they should or could be. But I do 55 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: think things are tighter for people. Even when I'm talking 56 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 3: to people offline and the occasional time I may ride 57 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 3: past Walmart Rashott, I'm not going in. 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 1: I may go to park day. 59 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 3: When I'm talking to people, They're like, Hey, why isn't 60 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 3: the money flowing? And that's why I always say less 61 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 3: than to go to the M two money supply, Like 62 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 3: we printed money so fast in twenty twenty that now 63 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: when we have reverted back to the mean of the 64 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 3: money that's available, it's not as much money available if 65 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 3: you are in the middle class, like really now one ten, 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty thousand is middle class, and we 67 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: were growing up like one hundred grand was the goal. 68 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: So I think there's been a major adjustment in the economy. 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 3: Hopefully things get better over the next year or two. 70 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: But I don't think it's the Brooks we've ever been. 71 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: But I think it's the Titus has been properly over 72 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,279 Speaker 3: the last six or seven years, especially for African American communities. 73 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that he has a perspective on 74 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: it because he could be talking. 75 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: About a lot of the other things that have no substance. 76 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: So that's a great point. 77 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 2: Right, This brings awareness to a topic that is vidently important, 78 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: and so I understood it because it could feel. 79 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: Like that right in our communities. 80 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 2: If you ask people when they go to the supermarket, 81 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: does it cost more? 82 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: Yes, how it does. 83 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: If you talk to people about has their credit card 84 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: debt increase because the interest rates have gone on dramatically, 85 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: they can feel that are they able to finance a 86 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 2: car loan it's costing more? So yes, it feels that way. Statistically, 87 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 2: it's not the case if we're and you said one 88 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,919 Speaker 2: hundred thousand. If you look at statistically, America and some 89 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 2: other power in countries, the level of wealth has grown 90 00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: since twenty twenty. I think America in twenty twenty had 91 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 2: seven point six millionaires yep to make twenty three. That 92 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: number has grown to twenty twenty two million, which is 93 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: six percent of the population in the country, and so the. 94 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,119 Speaker 1: Wealth has grown. 95 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: I don't know if the middle class is at one 96 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: hundred thousand anymore. I feel like one hundred thousand. I 97 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 2: mean that you might just be grey. Give it, it 98 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: might be, it might be break even. So I understood 99 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: why you said it. I'm more impressed about the consciousness 100 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: of the state of the economy because again he's right. 101 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: If he's talking about people in this you can feel it. 102 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: You hear inflation. This is something that again wasn't brought up, 103 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 2: but you know, you hear the word inflation. What does 104 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 2: that mean? And now people are looking at it and 105 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 2: feeling the effects of it. So it's understandable to have 106 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 2: that sentiment, which makes it even more important shows like 107 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 2: this Being educated and around the topic of financial education 108 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: is so important so that you're not left out when 109 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 2: we're talking about it feels it. It feels like, no, you're 110 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 2: on the other end of that, Right, you've educated yourself, 111 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 2: you've invested, You're starting to be part of that that 112 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: trajectory that's upwards when we're talking about wealth creation. 113 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 3: To both of you, do you think that the printing 114 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 3: of the money in twenty twenty was the cost for 115 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 3: the increase for the additional millionaires that were produced, or 116 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: do you think there was some other factors that played 117 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 3: a significant. 118 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: Role in that. 119 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel that it's a variety of different things, 120 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 4: but I feel that inflation goes into play, and I 121 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 4: feel that it's actually I actually feel the opposite of 122 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 4: what he said. He said in America's the Brocus has 123 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 4: ever been. I actually feel like this is the most money. 124 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 4: This is the more people have money now than ever before. 125 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 4: And this is me, This is not just me from 126 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 4: my personal perspective, This is me talking to other people 127 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,159 Speaker 4: in different areas. I talked to a contractor and he 128 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 4: said that he's never seen people with this much money, 129 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 4: people paying four hundred thousand dollars just to get their. 130 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: Addict done in cash. 131 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: Right, We've never seen so many people buying properties in 132 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 4: cash over asking right. Cars, You couldn't you can't even 133 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 4: asking right. You can't buy a Mercedes Benz right now, 134 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 4: Like you know this, you got to wait six months 135 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 4: for a g Wagon. Like there's so many different things 136 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 4: that it's the tale of two economies. 137 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: That's a great point. 138 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 4: The richer getting richer while the poor is getting poor. 139 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 4: So he's speaking from one aspect of it, but from 140 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 4: the overall general sense of the economy, I don't think 141 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: that there's ever been a time but there's been this 142 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 4: much money that's been flowing and it's been happening for Yeah, 143 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 4: like you said, you know, pumping money into the economy. 144 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 4: But then you know, real estate values have skyrocketed. That's 145 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: helped a lot of people's wealth. Stock prices have skyrocketed. 146 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 4: That's helped a lot of people's wealthy some crypto that's 147 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 4: helped a lot of people starting businesses, a lot of entrepreneurs, 148 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: especially in the tech space, and those businesses have taken off. 149 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 4: That's that's helped skyrocket a lot of people's wealth. 150 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: So yeah, I. 151 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: Kind of look at it from a different standpoint. But 152 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 4: this is why it's vitally important to make relationships and 153 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 4: to educate yourself, right because if you the next five 154 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 4: years are probably going to be the most important time 155 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 4: in our generation and potentially human history. So if you're 156 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 4: not on the winning side of this coin, the losing 157 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 4: side of this coin looks very dire, right because you 158 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,000 Speaker 4: look at over two hundred million jobs globally taking out 159 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 4: from AI right when you look at the price of 160 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 4: real estate is going to keep going up. Inflation, everything 161 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 4: is going to go up. And we know that even 162 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: if you have a job, jobs usually stay the same 163 00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 4: as far as the amount of money that they're being 164 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 4: especially jobs that don't require extremely higher education. So you're 165 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 4: going to become priced out to the point where not 166 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 4: only can you not even buy a home, but you 167 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 4: can't even afford the rent. So now you're going to 168 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 4: have to have roommates.
