| 0:00.0 | Americans are drowning in credit card debt, wages haven't kept up. What is it about today and Americans today that has put them in this situation? Well, the American dream is now an American nightmare. And now we're basically a renter economy and a renter nation where people can't even afford the price of rent, let alone to buy a home. Expenses went up. Wages didn't. Now everybody's feeling that squeeze and that's where the middle class sits people are going through hell anybody that's in that tech field no matter how good you are |
| 0:24.5 | no matter how many millions of dollars that you make could be gone like that tomorrow with one |
| 0:27.6 | email from HR the security that we signed up for is no longer there freedom has never been further |
| 0:32.5 | from employment stop asking the question how can i make more money and start asking the question |
| 0:36.5 | how can i become more valuable? |
| 0:37.9 | Everyone is a genius in some way, shape, or form. |
