Enlighten me where I can acquire these prediction skills you seem to posses? If anything, the pandemic is a good example of why people need to have 'force majeure' clauses in contracts.
The decline we see now is lagging indicator, the damage was done years ago. The last biggest blow the 2008 bailouts gutting the USD via a treasury bond ponzi scheme. In the absences of a Federal government, the people CAN live on their own. The idea that states need to be balanced, but the Fed can go nuts with finances is causing the decline.
A pipe dream would be a federal income tax boycott until they get their shit together, but Fed can just print so that has no leverage.
Have a saving account and save instead of overspending.
Don't buy what you don't need (Ie: New phones , new cars (Unless previous broke)....
I mean, it's not on me to educate you but, the whole point of life is to grind more and more.
You can either stay where you at and never improve due to pure laziness or you can seek more knowledge and get smarter. Get good with numbers, flip stocks/crypto. Get a better paid job or a second job.
My question is, what do you do of your free time? Do you waste time doing things that ain't productive and won't get you further in life? Or you're always doing something that will get you closer to your goals?
Do you have a garden? If yes, voila you're already saving. Do you have livestock? If so, great you're saving more money and on top of that, eating healthy which is good for you.
I can type for hours on ways to save more $ and be a better version of yourself but i mean, these are things you should know at the age of 13-14...
