Of course we heard this 30 years years ago or more. I was supposed to work less and have more. Interesting, I work 60 hours per week... yea, I make more than 3 times what I did 40 years ago, yet somehow, everything costs over 4 times as much.

My first house cost under $50K. That very same house now costs six times as much.

Most of you here already know the punch line: inflation will sky rocket and that $200K will be barely enough to feed you the very next year.

Great plan.

Correct. Tyranny didn't work a hundred years ago and still doesn't work today. It only looks like it works for a very brief time until it runs out of other people’s money. Tyranny can be seductive at times but it's not sustainable.
