Sorry for the catchy title, but I think to myself, all this wealth created in stock market and housing has to have come from somewhere right? Would believe that stimulus checks wouldn't alone have contributed to this as those who got the checks, needed it.

So question is, where did all this money come from? How long can this keep going?

    It’s the debt wealth inflation cycle. It’s never ending. It only self corrects (major corrections like 2008 or minor corrections like 2001)

  • Borrowed and printed. Once the economy recovers sufficiently, interest rates will get hiked and the printing press will stop. That’s when things will correct.

      Housing price more than doubled in tech areas during that time and the dollar has been devalued. Banks and other places are increasing the salary significantly more this year for inflation. Even the salary for lawyers and doctors has gone up significantly over the past 10 years. Tech salary actually has not increased much sine Covid ironically when tech companies had the best days.

    My friend’s economics professor apparently said, an economy is a means to take resources from the poor and give it to the rich.. and that guy is supposed to be some economics genius.. everything is targeted to make you buy stuff.. the 99.99% buy the 0.01% sell.. now go home, renew your amazon prime and buy cheap Chinese sh*t
