Don't let me get in my zone, don't let me get in my zone, don't let me get in my zone, I'm definitely in my zone.

Hey, I want you to get into your zone, first into my zone.

This is the Cardone Zone on News 96-5.

Every Sunday night I come to you from Orlando, to Great Orlando, Florida, to show you exactly what you got to do to crawl out, get out, scratch out.

What do you have to do to make sure that your life, your family, your finances are what you deserve and what you need?

Look, I'm pulling for you, okay? I know how tough it is out there, and the facts are showing that it's getting tougher and tougher for a lot of people.

If you read this week, bankrate.com showed up on HuffingtonPost.com and came out and said 75% of all Americans don't have enough money saved to pay their bills for six months.

When I saw this, I'm like, I'm scratching my head thinking, wait a minute, three quarters of Americans, of all Americans, if there's 312 million Americans in America, that means we're talking about 104 million, no, no, no, no, no.

We're talking about three-fourths of them, all but about 60 million, 250 some odd million people don't have enough money to pay their bills for six months.

That's according to survey results for at least Monday, this Monday by bank rate. Check it out. Maybe you don't fit in that first number. One half of the survey said they had less than three months of expenses saved up.

One quarter had no reserves to draw on in case of an emergency. Last week I told you 128 million people on food stamps as 14% of the U.S. population, 49% of all U.S., this is the richest country in the world we're talking about.

49% of the entire U.S. population is on some form of entitlement, 48% of all households headed by a female only with children under five now live in poverty.

Do you understand that? 48% of all households headed by females with children under the age of five today now live in poverty in the United States of America.

Look, this is Grant Cardone. You're on the Cardone Zone. It's news 96 five. Why am I telling you this? Because it's a lot of bad news here, but the reality is behind the bad news is the truth.

Folks, there are forces at work here that are enormous. There are forces at work here that are enormous and they're unstoppable and I want to make sure you know about them.

I want to make sure you are preparing yourself for a broken piggy bank.

This doesn't work. What I'm telling you does it work. This is affecting you. It's affecting your neighbors. It's affecting your brothers, your mom, your dad.

It is affecting you and if it's not affecting you today, trust me. Whether it's next year, three years from now, five years from now, it's going to affect you.

Maybe it'll be your parents that get affected first and then you'll have to help them. Or maybe it's your kids that won't be able to afford to go to colleges because they're becoming ridiculous.

Only you can fix this situation. Only you can fix this situation. The government can't help you. Your boss can't help you. Nothing's going to change all the sudden that it's going to help you.
