Instead of just looking at GDP per capita which calculates how much the average person in an economy produces in market output every year, this report attempted to calculate the net worth of those people to see how good they were at accumulating wealth over time. Someone with a high income that is spending everything they make on rent and overpriced food isn’t going to grow their wealth as quickly as someone who has a more modest income, but is paying off their own home and is investing diligently into retirement accounts. I like to call this the San Fran Tech Bro Conjecture. But according to these annual reports the Australian people always looked like that second group of slower more deliberate wealth builders. Their raw income isn’t as high as here in America, but they were consistently some of the wealthiest people on the planet. UBS, which absorbed Credit Suisse following its collapse, recently released the 2024 report and once again Australians had the second highest MEDIAN net worth on the planet. They only fell behind Luxembourg which is a European Micronation which you are probably not in the tax bracket to even be aware of. The fact that this report tracks the MEDIAN instead of the average net worth is also really important. This means that the Australian right in the middle of a line up from richest to poorest is more than TWICE as rich as an American in the same position… Follow to learn How Money Works.

The runner up is China, and they spend less than a THIRD of what we do in any given year, even though they have almost five times as many people. It might not always feel like it, but by global standards we are incredibly rich, we LOVE buying shit, and we aren’t afraid of going into debt to keep doing it. More of our economy depends on the consumption of goods and services than basically any other major country around the world… but this has to have a limit right? As a direct result of our insatiable desire to consume, our household savings rates are now the lowest they have ever been, and high risk, high interest consumer lending has surpassed a trillion dollars. That doesn’t include things like car loans, home loans, student loans, medical loans or informal lending like buy now pay later, which are also approaching all time highs… So what is going to happen to the best consumers on the planet, if they can’t afford to consume any more? And more importantly… could we solve all of our problems by just… buying less junk Follow to learn How Money Works.

Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com šŸ‘ˆ Mad Money is a finance television program that has been running for 17 years on CNBC and is hosted by this man, Jim Cramer, a former Goldman Sachs trader and hedge fund manager turned reality TV star. He was the OG personal finance personality. Cramer has by all accounts had a very successful career, according to his own records his hedge fund returned 24% annualised returns over his 14 years managing the fund, which netted him around TEN MILLION dollars a year in take home pay. His experience on wall street and strong personality made him a great pick to host a TV show which has performed very well over the years it has been on air, even if it’s not for the best reasons. The show runners and Cramer himself have said that the stocks they discuss should not become a major part of a viewer’s portfolio and that people’s life savings should be made up of a low-risk diverse selection of stocks, bonds and real estate. But this sounds familiar, doesn’t it? This is just the TV show version of, ā€œhashtag not financial adviceā€. It’s difficult to watch, because a confident looking man that positions themselves as an authority on the subject talking about how a stock is about to make everybody rich is going to make some people buy in no matter how many disclaimers are made. His catch phrase is ā€œI just want to make you moneyā€ ----- #howmoneyworks #finance #investing 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.

If Donald Trump serves his entire term he will be the oldest president in history… after replacing the oldest president in history… And don’t worry we are not alone, the leaders of the two most populous countries in the world India and China are also 74 and 71 respectively. The AVERAGE person living in the world today is on AVERAGE ruled over by someone FORTY years older than them… and it all happened because of a few small demographic changes… So how did old people take over the world?
