Headline CPI ≠ workers' two highest expenses

September 2023-2024:

Shelter prices = +4.9%

Transportation prices = +8.5%

Are your wages keeping up with this? If not, you may want to start studying #bitcoin, especially if you're in the bottom income quintiles

Headline CPI ≠ workers' two highest expenses

Shelter prices = +5.2%

Transportation prices = +7.9%

Did your wages over the last year keep up with this? If not, you may want to start studying #bitcoin

It’s no wonder two-thirds of Americans think the American Dream is dead

Owning a home, after all, may have been the most important sign of achieving it

While things may seem dark, there is hope to revitalize the American Dream for you and your family again: #bitcoin ₿

Credit card debt has reached record highs and savings rate record lows

Expectations for income fixing this are plummeting

Workers may feel hopeless, but there is a superior tool to save whatever they’re able to: #bitcoin ₿

So you’re ok with CPI = inflation?

*relative prices of workers’ largest expenses outpace their wages

Headline CPI ≠ workers' two highest expenses

Shelter inflation = 5.1%

Transportation inflation = 8.8%

People aren't stupid: they know things are increasingly more expensive compared to what they earn

People expect this to get worse, not better

What many don't realize, yet, is that saving in #bitcoin can fix this

Happy New Year!

Looking back at the last 10 years, wages have not kept up with the costs of many mandatory expenses (BLS data).

As you look to 2024 and beyond, perhaps now is a good time to learn more about the hardest money in human history: #bitcoin

If you're living in one of these OECD countries, you're falling behind.

To combat this, you don't have to pick the right investment where others control your fate.

Instead, you can just save over time in the hardest money in human history: #bitcoin

Stack both bars on top of each other and notice the variation among income quintiles on real wage growth over this 9-year period.

Lower-middle and middle income earners are falling behind by a large margin.

Saving in #bitcoin  long-term can fix this.

Small nominal raises in wages around 3% give workers the impression of progress.

Meanwhile, real wages are near 0% when compared to *official* inflation, and negative when compared to experienced inflation (mandatory goods and services)

Got #bitcoin ?

Charts for Pre-Coiners™️

While *official* CPI inflation is 3.2%, many expenses workers need are still much higher:

Food = 4.9%

Shelter = 7.7%

Transportation = 9%

This is the time theft of inflation.

Saving in #bitcoin  over the short-term won't fix this, but over time, it can.

If the *rate* of inequality were the same, there would still be nominal inequality

But when both nominal and real wages favor the top, inequality widens

Workers not in the top can protect themselves from this over the long-term by saving: #bitcoin

Charts for Pre-Coiners™️

When wages don't keep up with inflation (housing, food, transportation, electricity), workers have to turn to something to pay their bills

All-time-highs in credit card debt is not a long-term solution, however

Saving in #bitcoin  over time can fix this

Charts for Pre-Coiners™️

If you're not a Baby Boomer, odds are you're not that confident about your upcoming bills

This is due to the fact that inflation in housing, electricity, transportation, and food far outpace your wages

Fortunately, over time you can fix this: #bitcoin
