Inflation, economic instability and a lack of savings have an increasing number of Americans feeling financially stressed.

Some 70% of Americans admit to being stressed about their personal finances these days and a majority — 52% — of U.S. adults said their financial stress has increased since before the Covid-19 pandemic began in March 2020, according to a new CNBC Your Money Financial Confidence Survey conducted in partnership with Momentive.

Anxious and uncertain about whether they can get a better handle on their money, some may be intimidated by the prospect of creating a budge

t or unsure of where to stash their cash to get the highest returns. Others may be wondering how to begin saving for retirement when they've gotten off to a late start.

Too Late?

Our nation has lived way beyond its means for a long time. The chickens have come home to roost, as they say. If people are stressed now, what the hell are they going to do when the dollar loses all of its value, the economy falls apart, famine comes upon the land, supply chains stop altogether, drinking water is sparse, jobs are unavailable, the federal and state government entities stop medicare, medicaid, social security and snap benefits? It is so late in this evil game, I shudder to think what people are going to do when the SHTF! Our nation is under judgment. Modern Americans NEVER prepare (less than 3%). Watchmen have been ringing the bell. Those that listened, prepared. Those that didn't, may God have great mercy on them.

Maybe not

If Trump can stay out of jail and stay alive, he can change some of this. I am afraid he will suffer the fate of JFK. The Democraps will do anything to stop him. He needs more SS protection. I pray we can get him elected. If not we are doomed. We are in the most dangerous period of our lifetime. Many of us will not survive.
