What Goes Down Must Come Up. Economic Cycles Repeat. Learn This, & Why... and Remain Healthy Emotionally, Financially and Spiritually.
Having sanity in an insane world and market driven by greed and globalists who do not give a damn about you, is important.
When I explain to individuals that we are at a 5000 year historic low for interest rates, I truly mean it.
Look at that graphic. Just look at it.
The chart ends at 2015 but it does not matter, just extend it out to 2018, because it has not changed on the flattening out of basically 0% rates driving things, unsustainably.
That is what governments do, everything about them is unsustainable.
Understanding how artifically low rates reward debtors and punish savers is critical to grasping when and how much debt to take on.
If you are an owner of a home and are using debt to finance the lion's share of it, you would be wise to begin understanding the cycle we are in globally and why interest rates are finally rising (and will continue to).
How this impacts government's ability to borrow and the cascading impacts this will have on markets could save you a lot of grief in the coming years. There are many changes that will result from this including the accelerating trend of assets shifting form public to private.
This happens every time faith in the system begins to wane and it is a natural consequence of smart money protecting itself.
We currently operate in a debt-based World, so if you are living a life fuelled by cheap credit you will want to have an appreciation for this all.
What goes down, must come up afterall.
And not just in the markets.
We need to remember everyone is at a different place in all this. We were all born free. (right?) - but also, born statists and thru propaganda and indoctrination every day, we are taught to not think or challenge THE MAN. When you do, you become a target, many of us have been thru it and others see this, and you are ostracized.
The masses do not want to be this target, nor ostracized as such.
We have to try to remember these things as we help people. In biblical terms -- it is called discipling or raising up leaders.
I get frustrated too but we are all in this together.
Some charts to compare parts of where we were at for the 2008 financial crisis/meltdown, to where we are now, in 2018 as the next complete collapse is due, or overdue, depending on who you talk to, or what metrics you use.
It is coming --- mark my words and the banks and politicians who are TOO BIG TO FAIL -- may just bail themselves all our, again, at our expense.
Again is the key word.

A friend of mine Jason Cassidy was talking about this, this last week and many of us chimed in.

Please note -- I will have limited internet access for awhile -- so PLEASE do not be upset that I cannot reply right away, or to everyone. I am dealing with some changes, and will have limited time online and will be happy if I get a few blog posts up a week.
This has really upset some people but I do not force my opinions on others, or need to communicate every detail of my life or issues, most people do not care anyways. I invested around 10 hours or more a day on Steemit most of my first 13 mths here, I just do not have that time in my life right now, and that includes for replies and voting/curation.
I have done my best, sorry if you do not understand like some are clearly having a problem with. It's a blogging platform, and I will do my best at everything, and to keep blogging.
Carry On.

Thanks dear sharing the cyptocurrancy grap..It is valuable all steemiter..
LOL cryptocurrency (no A) and grap? (not a word).
I've never been sure of this account here either buddy....LOL
But they do RS my posts when they say they do, so I am not thinking as badly about them maybe being a bad spelling bot LOL
I have to admit you have done a great job putting together this post. The infographics were topnotch. hodling won't be problem for me now.
What is the next bubble going to be known as? The Trump bubble LOL!
We're in it now, the
Everything Bubble

literally.
If crypto comes thru this, the next 11 mths while everything takes a crap, I will be impressed, that is the main reason I am here.
Humanity helping thru crypto/deflationary means.
I think this about sums it up........
It is hard to read with that font, but you are right man.
I just bought a house for the first time in a decade. I owned three in the mid-90's/early 00's, then took a break. I got a nice, low, non-variable interest rate. My goal is to pay it off as soon as possible, because I don't want to be a slave to paying the mortgage for the next three decades. I have high hopes that my crypto investments will help me do that sooner rather than later.
Oh, I am certain you will be fine Steph and good for you.
I was just shovelling, everything is so hard now w my injuries, I used to love doing it.
Part of the "ownership" - and I use that term in quotes even as a real estate person/activist/liberty guy of course....
I am just about finished my latest homesteading/preparedness episode, I was just thinking of you, came to grab something here and it will be up in 2 mins.......
"ownership" is right!! Stop paying the property taxes and you will find out who the true owner is....
There's also eminent domain, too. If the government wants your land, they can take it, and you have to either move your house or it gets torn down. I've said for years you never REALLY own land in this country. You may own the house, but you only nominally own the land it sits on. The land is subject to all kinds of government regulations, zoning, taxes, eminent domain, and such. Your name may be on the deed, but it is never truly yours.
Luckily, my house is in an older part of town that has been established as a residential area for almost as long as the town has been here. Nothing commercial goes on in my neighborhood, and the streets are more than enough for the little traffic we get. There's not much chance of eminent domain happening here, but with the way things are going in this country, and the world in general, you just never know. The whole town could be confiscated by the federal government one day, for all I know. I wouldn't be surprised.
I got out of homeownership because I got tired of being out of pocket for any repairs and maintenance my houses needed. I got back in because I got tired of dealing with landlords who never wanted to make those repairs or do maintenance.
Damned if you do and damned if you don't when deciding between rent or own. I "own" my house because I can sell it and peel some equity money out of it when I do. Rent in our area is higher than what a mortgage payment would be so it only makes sense to own. =)
Hi barry, nice article, I just wrote about why VIX could be the catalyst for the next bear market, would you mind checking it out, valueing your opinion :)
