6ix, did you know that Americans are free to make themselves into the biggest success or failure that they can be? More than half choose failure unconsciously. There is a movie about that called The Other Side, a 2015 French-Italian documentary film.
Peter Debruge of Variety called it "a soul-draining, feature-length look at the bastard stepchildren of the American Dream". Jordan Mintzer of The Hollywood Reporter called it "a poetic but hermetic journey into a debauched and dangerous Deep South". The people I know are far worse than these folk. The French should make another documentary about them.
The people in The Other Side had money problems and hated Obama with a passion knowing no bounds, blaming him for their money problems rather than themselves. When it came out in 2015, it was too soon for them to express their love for Trump, since he had not yet declared for President. It has been 9 years, but for the ones still alive their money problems persist because of who they are, not who is President.

No you're not. You live in your mom's basement and have no income.

I’ve spent 20 years studying how to raise successful kids—here’s the most ‘overlooked’ skill I tell parents to teach
As a psychologist, I’ve spent nearly 20 years studying how to care for and raise good humans. The overlooked skill I always tell new parents to teach is inner efficacy.
Inner efficacy is an individual’s belief in their own capacity to do what it takes to meet their goals. Self-esteem might say, “I’m amazing!” but inner efficacy says, “I have what it takes to figure this out and achieve what I set out to.”
Kids with a strong sense of inner efficacy are more likely to challenge themselves and put in the effort. Rather than blaming external circumstances or some immutable lack of talent for their failures, they’ll focus on factors that are within their control.

I assume there are Trumptards whose parents knew how to raise good humans, but I never met one of these Trumpards/Good-Human combinations. They must be rare specimens.

You should teach lessons on TikTok where all the millennials and zoomers think that they're amazing without actually having any talent or skills.

Quote:I hear the same old bullshit from Trump. Yes, he is a problem, but his enemies interfere with him achieving historic greatness. No one in American history has been witch-hunted as much or as long as Witch Trump. In other words, Trump has a weak sense of inner efficacy. "Only I Cannot Do It" is his real motto, not the other version.

I get to do work I enjoy today for myself.
You get to bitch and moan all day about how much your life sucks.
Have fun, retard. You are the envy of no one.

That's all bullshit, Ted.
The typical American household must spend an additional $11,434 annually just to maintain the same standard of living it had in January 2021.
-That's an extra $952.83 per month
-That's an extra $219.88 each week
-That's an extra $31.30 per day
The average American family now spends $270.21 at the grocery store every single week. That’s a massive increase from the $160.35 per week the average family was spending four years ago.
I used to get by on between $5,500 to $6,000 per year myself, not including any money I put into the house. In 2022 it was over $7,000 per year. I actually cut it back a bit in 2023 (Still over $7,000, but not quite as much), but that's because I didn't pay for any car repairs and I had my thermostat set to between 55 and 58 degrees all 2022-2023 winter.
I don't have rent/mortgage or a car payment. I'm not paying interest on anything. Near zero percent of Americans can say those two things though, and they're paying A LOT more for it today than they were before Joe* was in office.
I'm still living on roughly $20 per day on average.
But I will probably be buying another car by mid-summer, so I'll be well over $10,000 to $11,000 in 2024. That's not the fault of the economy, just the timing of things. But at least I waited as long as I could. The car market is falling pretty decent and I should be able to get into something different for at least 30% less than I would have last year.

AP: Some Americans Have Become Saddled With Credit Card Debt as Rent and Everyday Prices Remain High

Most analyses of Americans’ financial health tend to tell a tale of two consumers. On one side are the roughly two-thirds of Americans who own their homes and those who’ve invested in the stock market and done substantially well. They generally had the savings cushion necessary to weather high inflation. Delinquency rates on single-family homes remain at near historic lows and home prices have continued to climb.
But for the rest of America, things are looking rough.
“You have these noticeable pockets of consumers -- mostly middle- and lower-income renters who have not benefitted from the wealth effect of higher housing prices and stock prices -- who are feeling financial stress and that’s driving up these delinquency levels. They’ve been hit very hard by inflation,” said Warren Kornfeld, a senior vice president at Moody’s, in an interview.
CBS News: Car insurance rates jump 26% across the U.S. in 2024, report shows

Having a car is getting more expensive for drivers across the country as auto insurance premiums continue to soar.
According to a new Bankrate report, U.S. drivers are paying an average of $2,543 annually, or $212 per month, for car insurance — an increase of 26% from last year. That's 3.41% of yearly earnings for those with a salary of $74,580, which is the national median household income according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
"Auto insurance rates have been rising at a breakneck pace," said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate. "And though the pace of increases will eventually slow, that doesn't mean premiums are coming down."
