Throughout history, “money” has been many different things. Money has taken the form of seashells, colored beads, feathers, live animals, and large stones. Today, there are three types of modern money. Robert Kiyosaki says they are: 1. God’s money: Gold and silver 2. Government’s money: Dollars, Euros, pesos, etc. 3. People’s money: Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. Most are taught that saving money is smart but the truth is the dollar is worthless because the Fed is has been printing trillions of dollars...

States with the worst pension fund shortfalls include Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, and New Jersey which have less than half of the assets needed to pay promised benefits and another 17 states have less than two-thirds. The extent to which public pensions are underfunded has been obscured by governmental accounting rules, which allow pensions to eliminate their underfunding, no matter how large, simply by investing in risky assets. In fact, investing in riskier assets may allow a pe...

There’s a question that I like to ask people, and I want you to think about your answer for a minute. “What would you do if I paid you five million dollars per year?” Would you quit your job? Would you work more? How far would you be willing to go to get that money? If you’re former NFL player Vontae Davis, a five-million-a-year paycheck wasn’t enough to keep working. Not only did he get out of playing football, but he walked off the field in the middle of the game. Why? Because of his health. H...

According to Edward "Ted" Siedle, a former attorney with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and America’s leading expert in pension looting, “In the decades to come, we will witness hundreds of millions of e...

For the last couple of years, if you heard the word collusion, chances are that you would imagine Russia helping the Trump administration win the 2016 election. While the world was focused on that, real collusion was happening between the Fed and world banks to create an economic crisis. This all started long before Trump took office, and the ramifications of it helped create the Great Recession, and we’re all still reeling from it. In today’s episode, we’re talking with Nomi Prins, author of th...

You can’t ignore the fact that the ‘competitive spirit’ is becoming more and more rare among men and women, both in this country and around the world.

However, here to explain why the world at large is not a zero sum game, and why truly competitive people are people who compete with themselves more than anyone is sports psychologist, motivatio...
