Banking is Broken (And We May Not Be Able to Fix It) - How Money Works Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 Banking has become too complicated and too concentrated for it's own good and this could have serious impacts on us all. #Banking #Finance #HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Support the channel on Patreon here - https://www.patreon.com/HowMoneyWorks ___________________________________________________________________________ Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSR Music by Epidemic Sound ___________________________________________________________________________ Banking is an incredibly important industry which is based off a very simple concept. People with more money than they know what to do with can keep it in a safe secure institution which can then lend that money out to people who have big idea’s but not enough money to make them happen. They give a small incentive to the depositors, and charge a higher premium from the borrowers, making a profit for the service that they provide as a “financial intermediary” This system has become more complex over time with things like fractional reserve banking, and alternative capital sources, but if we strip all of that away we will still find that the heart of banking is this simple mechanism. For all of the hate that banks get, they can do a lot of good in an economy. To people who want a safe place to keep their money they offer an almost 100% guarantee that the money left with them will still be there, a day, a month, a century from when it was deposited. They also make that money readily accessible, online, over the phone, from a collection of ATM’s, or simply through a plastic debit card. To people that want to borrow money they are also the “go to” institution for a fair loan based on lending parameters developed over time. We may hate things like credit scores and employment checks, but it’s part of the reason why so many people are paying below 3% on their mortgages right now. Follow to learn How Money Works.

The Problem With Really Smart People | How Money Works

The Problem With Really Smart People Upgrade the way you learn with Brilliant! To get started for FREE go to http://www.brilliant.org/howmoneyworks Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 There is a problem with really smart people that is making you dumber and poorer. Social media platforms like YouTube, Twitter, TikTok and Facebook have allowed us unrestricted access to the greatest minds in the world. It’s also let us interact with these people instead of only being able to read their curated publishing. Being able to watch hours of interviews with world renowned scientists or tweet directly with influential business people is amazing, but it creates 5 big problems and when these very smart people start talking about investing and personal finance those problems end up costing regular people lots of money. Problem number one is the issue of false authority. We now know that the average person puts a heavy weighting on the advice of smart people but even the smartest people in the world don’t know how you should invest your money. An investing strategy is a very personal thing because it needs to consider your income, objectives, risk tolerance, tax strategies and current financial position, without knowing these its impossible for even the smartest investor to give good advice. The problem for a lot of people is advice can be expensive and licensed professionals are also obligated to give people cold hard truths that they might not want to hear, such as you are never going to get rich earning $50,000 a year. People don’t want to hear this so they look to smart people who are not afraid to give advice to see what they recommend. Someone like Meet Kevin is obviously a smart guy because he has made millions of dollars investing into real estate and meme stocks and then millions more by talking about investing into real estate and meme stocks on the internet. The advice he gives carries a lot of weight because he presents himself as an in the know figure that is willing to teach you the secrets of becoming wealthy from humble beginnings like he did. Compare this to a boomer like the plain bagel who is only going to lecture you about how your portfolio is never going to MOON and that you should instead take your time to write out clear objectives and work those into a realistic budgeting and investing plan. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how listening to really smart people is costing us all a lot of money #investing #business #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.

Why is Company Management Always Terrible? - How Money Works | How Money Works

Why is Company Management Always Terrible? - How Money Works Get access to a totally free high quality newsletter every morning by signing up to The Daily Upside at https://bit.ly/386hAzi Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 In a recent study conducted by MIT American workers identified management and the culture they create as the reason they were looking for a different job ten times as frequently as workers who were looking for another job to get a pay increase. Good managers do exists, but even if you are lucky enough to find one, they are often stuck dealing with poor management of their own that trickles down throughout an entire corporate structure. In an age where staff turnover is costing businesses billions of dollars a year you might expect that companies would do their best to address this problem, but even companies like Google, and Apple that do their absolute best to create world leading working environments are still called out for toxic leadership. It’s not just staff turnover either, management structures determine the direction of companies and it feels like every other week their poor performance is the reason behind a company going under. So why do managers always suck? Well believe it or not science has the answer. ___________________________________________________________________________ Link To The Capitalists Discord where I hang out with other creators - https://discord.gg/8MeNJ7gfSR Music by Epidemic Sound Stock footage by Storyblocks Follow to learn How Money Works.

Why Political Lobbying is Allowed & Encouraged - Defending the Indefensible - How Money Works Sign up for my newsletter https://compoundeddaily.com 👈 3.5 billion dollars were spent on political lobbying in 2019 alone. What’s more is that political donations funded presidential add campaigns that topped 14 billion dollars. These astronomical sums are not reserved for the big leagues of federal politics either, every year vast fortunes are spent influencing policy decisions from, the oval office and federal congress all the way down to local city councils. But why is this allowed? Political lobbying combined with huge campaign contributions from wealthy individuals and companies has started to seem tantamount to bribery, where the best interests of the voting public are seconded to who can write the biggest donation check fundamentally undermining democratic processes…. Right?

We have gone from full time to part time, to casual, to gig work, lowering the expectation of a long-term professional relationship every step of the way. If this didn’t do enough, studies have shown that many workplaces are now intentionally promoting the fear of job losses in an attempt to “motivate workers” and keep cost down, but this is usually a really dumb idea. The death of job security is bad for workers AND bad for companies… But nobody cares anymore… Up until the 1980’s it wasn’t unusual for workers to spend their entire professional careers working with just ONE company. Company loyalty was highly valued by both employers and employees, and the threat of getting laid off or fired was incredibly low. If you ever watch old films and see someone getting fired as a major plot point, just remember it actually was a big deal back then. But according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, those days are long gone… The average tenure of young employees these days is less than a third of the baby boomers exiting the workforce. I don’t want to sound too old here, but back in my day people actually cared about losing their job, but today getting fired or laid off from your company just makes good content to post on Tik Tok. This is a bad trend for companies, because it takes away their biggest stick. The fear of getting fired is always going to be a motivator in the workplace, there really is no way around that, if you don’t do your job or cause too much trouble for the company you are going to lose your job along with the pay and benefits that come with it. But as the great Peter Gibbons would say “that will only make someone work just hard enough to not get fired”. The death of job security means that people just EXPECT to lose their job at some point in their career these days, but there are three big reasons why it was allowed to get this bad, and three reasons why… nobody really cares anymore… So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why job security is dying, why nobody cares, and what happens when nobody has a job for long enough to be good at it… Follow to learn How Money Works.
