Finished paying my credit card debt, closed the account and cut the card because the banks want you in debt. Banks make more money from you when you are in debt and when you make credit card payments.
Economic analysts are suggesting Donald Trump's tariffs are having the effect of decreasing goods being imported into the USA and other countries are buying the goods that would be going into the USA without the tariffs.

This is a graph of the US Dollar index
The U.S. Dollar Index (USDX, DXY) measures the value of the US dollar against a basket of six major foreign currencies: the Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), British Pound (GBP), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Swedish Krona (SEK), and Swiss Franc (CHF)
When it goes up thé it means thé Dollar is getting stronger, down means weaker.
This graph starts when Donald Trump took office for the second time. It shows the Dollar has been getting weaker since then. It has weakened by 11% at the time Im posting.

Most people with 9-5 jobs barely have any savings at the end of the month.
A lot of money now goes to rent and work is boring.
Most full time workers can't afford houses anymore.
How can I escape the rat-race of doing jobs I don't want to just to survive?
I'm a small day trader. Things were going good
but the market crash starting 2-April-2025
caused by Trump's tariffs is something I
didn't see coming.
It destroyed my account.
Now I have to restart from the beginning 😭 00[reply]

2024 has been a good year for billionaires, they've gotten a lot richer.
Elon Musk is now worth over 400B$, most of this growth took place after Donald Trump won the presidency.
