<v Speaker 2>to you by P and C Bank, a lot of

0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 2>people think podcasts about work are boring, and sure, they

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 2>definitely can be, but understanding of professional's routine shows us

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>how they achieve their success little by little, day after day.

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:27.440
<v Speaker 2>It's like banking with P and C Bank. It might

0:01:27.560 --> 0:01:30.440
<v Speaker 2>seem boring to save, plan and make calculated decisions with

0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>your bank, but keeping your money boring is what helps

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.640

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts on Bousy?

0:01:54.680 --> 0:01:59.240
<v Speaker 3>It's a commentary Boozy badass, another iconic class love get that?

0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:03.120
<v Speaker 4>What are your thoughts or words today? Comment terry that

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:08.200
<v Speaker 4>America is the brocus has ever been. You have to

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:13.239
<v Speaker 4>change your lifestyle and companies have to layoff thousands of workers.

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>So is America as brocused? Is that even a word?

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not sure? But is America as brocused as it's

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>ever been?

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 3>Of course, Boosey is not an economist by any stretch

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 3>of the imagination, but.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you for the disclaimer.

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and he's not an iconic class like our guest

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 3>is coming on. But it's interesting when I see Cardi

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 3>talk about politics, Boosey talk about the economy. I do

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 3>feel there's a titan is America in the worst financial

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:49.480
<v Speaker 3>shape has ever been in I don't think so, but

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 3>I will say things are a lot tighter, like GDP

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 3>fel one point six percent in Q one compared to

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:01.480
<v Speaker 3>three point four percent last year. Even the fall of

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 3>Tesla over the last two months has been reflective. Apple

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 3>being down has been reflective. Retail sales are not as

0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:11.760
<v Speaker 3>amazing as they should or could be. But I do

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 3>think things are tighter for people. Even when I'm talking

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 3>to people offline and the occasional time I may ride

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.120
<v Speaker 3>past Walmart Rashott, I'm not going in.

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:20.519
<v Speaker 1>I may go to park day.

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.520
<v Speaker 3>When I'm talking to people, They're like, Hey, why isn't

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.360
<v Speaker 3>the money flowing? And that's why I always say less

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 3>than to go to the M two money supply, Like

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.640
<v Speaker 3>we printed money so fast in twenty twenty that now

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 3>when we have reverted back to the mean of the

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 3>money that's available, it's not as much money available if

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.720
<v Speaker 3>you are in the middle class, like really now one ten,

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and twenty thousand is middle class, and we

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 3>were growing up like one hundred grand was the goal.

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 3>So I think there's been a major adjustment in the economy.

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Hopefully things get better over the next year or two.

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 3>But I don't think it's the Brooks we've ever been.

0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 3>But I think it's the Titus has been properly over

0:03:59.640 --> 0:04:03.279
<v Speaker 3>the last six or seven years, especially for African American communities.

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 2>I think it's interesting that he has a perspective on

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 2>it because he could be talking.

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:11.800
<v Speaker 1>About a lot of the other things that have no substance.

0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's a great point.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:18.720
<v Speaker 2>Right, This brings awareness to a topic that is vidently important,

0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 2>and so I understood it because it could feel.

0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:22.719
<v Speaker 1>Like that right in our communities.

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 2>If you ask people when they go to the supermarket,

0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:26.479
<v Speaker 2>does it cost more?

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, how it does.

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 2>If you talk to people about has their credit card

0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:34.600
<v Speaker 2>debt increase because the interest rates have gone on dramatically,

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:38.800
<v Speaker 2>they can feel that are they able to finance a

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 2>car loan it's costing more? So yes, it feels that way. Statistically,

0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.720
<v Speaker 2>it's not the case if we're and you said one

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:51.919
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand. If you look at statistically, America and some

0:04:52.040 --> 0:04:56.279
<v Speaker 2>other power in countries, the level of wealth has grown

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 2>since twenty twenty. I think America in twenty twenty had

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 2>seven point six millionaires yep to make twenty three. That

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 2>number has grown to twenty twenty two million, which is

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 2>six percent of the population in the country, and so the.

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Wealth has grown.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if the middle class is at one

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.280
<v Speaker 2>hundred thousand anymore. I feel like one hundred thousand. I

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 2>mean that you might just be grey. Give it, it

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.000
<v Speaker 2>might be, it might be break even. So I understood

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:25.920
<v Speaker 2>why you said it. I'm more impressed about the consciousness

0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.599
<v Speaker 2>of the state of the economy because again he's right.

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:31.680
<v Speaker 2>If he's talking about people in this you can feel it.

0:05:31.880 --> 0:05:34.840
<v Speaker 2>You hear inflation. This is something that again wasn't brought up,

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 2>but you know, you hear the word inflation. What does

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.840
<v Speaker 2>that mean? And now people are looking at it and

0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>feeling the effects of it. So it's understandable to have

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.919
<v Speaker 2>that sentiment, which makes it even more important shows like

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>this Being educated and around the topic of financial education

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 2>is so important so that you're not left out when

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:53.840
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about it feels it. It feels like, no, you're

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 2>on the other end of that, Right, you've educated yourself,

0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.200
<v Speaker 2>you've invested, You're starting to be part of that that

0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 2>trajectory that's upwards when we're talking about wealth creation.

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 3>To both of you, do you think that the printing

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.159
<v Speaker 3>of the money in twenty twenty was the cost for

0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:11.359
<v Speaker 3>the increase for the additional millionaires that were produced, or

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 3>do you think there was some other factors that played

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 3>a significant.

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Role in that.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I feel that it's a variety of different things,

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 4>but I feel that inflation goes into play, and I

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:30.359
<v Speaker 4>feel that it's actually I actually feel the opposite of

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.240
<v Speaker 4>what he said. He said in America's the Brocus has

0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 4>ever been. I actually feel like this is the most money.

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 4>This is the more people have money now than ever before.

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 4>And this is me, This is not just me from

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:45.359
<v Speaker 4>my personal perspective, This is me talking to other people

0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:48.159
<v Speaker 4>in different areas. I talked to a contractor and he

0:06:48.200 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 4>said that he's never seen people with this much money,

0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:53.600
<v Speaker 4>people paying four hundred thousand dollars just to get their.

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Addict done in cash.

0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.440
<v Speaker 4>Right, We've never seen so many people buying properties in

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 4>cash over asking right. Cars, You couldn't you can't even

0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 4>asking right. You can't buy a Mercedes Benz right now,

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.679
<v Speaker 4>Like you know this, you got to wait six months

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 4>for a g Wagon. Like there's so many different things

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 4>that it's the tale of two economies.

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:19.360
<v Speaker 1>That's a great point.

0:07:19.560 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 4>The richer getting richer while the poor is getting poor.

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 4>So he's speaking from one aspect of it, but from

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:32.000
<v Speaker 4>the overall general sense of the economy, I don't think

0:07:32.040 --> 0:07:33.840
<v Speaker 4>that there's ever been a time but there's been this

0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 4>much money that's been flowing and it's been happening for Yeah,

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:41.400
<v Speaker 4>like you said, you know, pumping money into the economy.

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:45.240
<v Speaker 4>But then you know, real estate values have skyrocketed. That's

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 4>helped a lot of people's wealth. Stock prices have skyrocketed.

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:53.840
<v Speaker 4>That's helped a lot of people's wealthy some crypto that's

0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 4>helped a lot of people starting businesses, a lot of entrepreneurs,

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 4>especially in the tech space, and those businesses have taken off.

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.080
<v Speaker 4>That's that's helped skyrocket a lot of people's wealth.

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I.

0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.880
<v Speaker 4>Kind of look at it from a different standpoint. But

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 4>this is why it's vitally important to make relationships and

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 4>to educate yourself, right because if you the next five

0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.080
<v Speaker 4>years are probably going to be the most important time

0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:33.120
<v Speaker 4>in our generation and potentially human history. So if you're

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 4>not on the winning side of this coin, the losing

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:43.520
<v Speaker 4>side of this coin looks very dire, right because you

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.000
<v Speaker 4>look at over two hundred million jobs globally taking out

0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.959
<v Speaker 4>from AI right when you look at the price of

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.600
<v Speaker 4>real estate is going to keep going up. Inflation, everything

0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.920
<v Speaker 4>is going to go up. And we know that even

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 4>if you have a job, jobs usually stay the same

0:08:58.520 --> 0:08:59.959
<v Speaker 4>as far as the amount of money that they're being

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:08.960
<v Speaker 4>especially jobs that don't require extremely higher education. So you're

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 4>going to become priced out to the point where not

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:13.560
<v Speaker 4>only can you not even buy a home, but you

0:09:13.559 --> 0:09:16.079
<v Speaker 4>can't even afford the rent. So now you're going to

0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 4>have to have roommates. Now you're going to have to have,

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:21.520
<v Speaker 4>you know, car pooling to even have a car. This

0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 4>is something that I don't want to be a doomsday

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 4>situation here, but is vitally important. So that's why you

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 4>have to watch market mondays, you have to watch and listen,

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 4>earn your Lisia, you have to go to invest FST
