Summary

This episode delves into the profound and largely unnoticed economic shifts that have devastated America's middle class over the past few decades. Matt explains how stagnant wages, skyrocketing living costs, and policies have created a downward spiral, trapping the middle class in a cycle of work, debt, and decline. He explores the factors contributing to this crisis, including the U.S. education system, job market, and debt structures. The episode also critiques recent trade policies and their potential impacts, advocating for asset ownership and financial strategies to regain control in a rigged economic system. Join us for an unflinching look at the harsh realities facing the middle class and strategies to navigate these turbulent times.
