The only problem is
 you inevitably suck at it
 The S&P 500 has a historical average return of 10.4% over the past 100 years, even when including all the major stock market downturns during that time. $10,000 invested in 1972 would be worth $1.7 Million today. But look around, and you will be hard pressed to find anybody who has made themselves wealthy EXCLUSIVELY through diligent investing practices. Research done by Dalbar Inc an investment research firm found that the average equity fund investor only made average annualized returns of 4.25% over the past 20 years. To understand how big a difference this truly is, the same investor getting those returns would only turn their initial $10,000 investment into $83,000 today over the same 50 year period.People are terrible at investing, YOU are terrible at investing, and even finance industry professionals are buy and large
 terrible at investing. The only real solution is to stop trying. #Investing #PersonalFinance #HowMoneyWorks Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group All materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

What You Need To Know About SVB, Silvergate & Signature Bank Collapses (In 7 Minutes) | How Money Works

What You Need To Know About SVB, Silvergate & Signature Bank Collapses (In 7 Minutes) Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 Last week America had it’s second largest bank collapse ever, here is how that actually happened in seven minutes. Silicon Valley Bank the 16th biggest bank in America has been shut down by regulators and its operations have been seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation just three days after Silvergate bank another Californian Bank announced it would by winding downs it’s operations and liquidating. SVB was called the investors investor as they had a venture capital and credit arm that would directly invest into funds such as sequoia capital, Ribbit Capital, Spark Capital and Greylock, basically the who’s who of institutional investors in Silicon Valley. Most new businesses fail so traditional banks aren’t going to lend to any company that can’t show consistent profits or put up adequate security. Just like Silvergate saw a gap in the market to serve risky crypto traders Silicon Valley Bank saw a gap to serve new start-ups. ------- Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Patrick Boyle's video at 1:50 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxcwn7xoXhU&t=163s Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group All materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use.

Buy Now Pay Later companies now have over half a trillion dollars worth of debt on their books according to estimates from industry groups. An exact number is harder to track than something like total credit card debt because these companies are not required to record their lending practices in the same way. Either way this is an especially concerning amount of money because by design “buy now pay later” “loans” SHOULD only last for eight weeks before they are paid off in a predictable instalment plan. But new research (and company confessions) have revealed what you probably already knew
 people aren’t really paying off their Klarna account, they are just using it as a new way to make their month go a little bit further at the end of their money
 Most of the largest Buy Now Pay Later companies are barely ten years old now, but in that time they have been able to scale rapidly thanks to a combination of generous investor funding, a tech bro attitude towards regulations, and a service that was appealing to people who didn’t want to go through a formal credit application process
 for whatever reason
 The argument was that these companies weren’t giving out loans
 They were just letting people split up their purchase into smaller payments made over a set time period, and if everything was done properly the users wouldn’t even need to pay interest. But now after giving out quick, easy “not-loans” to anybody who could download an app, the companies are pulling a shocked Pikachu that their “not-debt” is NOT getting paid back. Now consumer debt defaults are on the rise everywhere, but BNPL has its own risks that could make this a whole lot worse than people not being able to split their Costco hotdog into 4 easy payments.

These ports handle TRILLIONS of dollars’ worth of trade every year and are an essential bottleneck in global supply chains. This will affect everything from the fight with inflation, to manufacturing jobs, to just your ability to buy some junk off Temu
 oh and I don’t know if you have noticed, but this is also happening right before an election
 The accusation has been made that this is just an opportunistic money grab directed at the most vulnerable part of the economy, made by workers who are already earning MUCH more than the national average
 So why are these workers striking? 
 and what happens now that they are? The Union is asking for the standard renegotiation of pay and conditions, but the Maritime Alliance is arguing that their demands have gone too far
 and
 I can’t believe I am going to say this
 but
 they might have a point
 According to a the associated press the union’s demands are a 77% increase in pay across all workers to be implemented over the next six years, and a COMPLETE ban on automation which could replace workers jobs
 The union is arguing that despite these earning the pay increase is not unreasonable considering this is just an opening offer which is already being negotiated AND it’s meant to be incremental across six years which means their pay will “only” increase by about 9% year to year
 Union workers believe they are in a fight for the future of their jobs and the ports are desperately trying to catch up with other global rivals, and it’s unclear how either of them are going to back down from their non-negotiable positions
 So, it’s time to learn How Money Works, to find out what shutting down a crucial supply channel means
 for everybody else in the world. Follow to learn How Money Works.

Every app, every website, EVERY business you interact with has a program working away in the background to show you what you want to see, get you to make decisions you didn’t have to, and make you spend as much as you’re absolutely willing to on stuff you didn’t know you needed
 A month ago Wendy’s CEO Kirk Tanner announced that the fast food franchise would be introducing dynamic pricing. A system where how much you pay for a Baconator would depend on an algorithm that balanced customer demand with store capacity. According to the companies announcement they were planning to invest twenty MILLION dollars [$20,000,000] into this technology before it was rightfully ridiculed across the internet. This was a win for the little guy that just wanted to clog their arteries at a predictable price point, but Wendy’s only mistake was announcing their plans. Dynamic pricing is already here, and it’s making inflation and essential feature. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how mathematical models mandated inflation.
