    What is the WORST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I found his Earn 1k Course immensely valuable, but that was before finding a lot of other material I know now about. Every other course I bought I had to ask for a refund until I finally realized he was a great copywriter that was selling super basic products and unsubscribed from his list.

    What is the WORST "value" you ever paid for?

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    The WORST value I've ever paid for has ALWAYS been to serve my ego/get a 'magic pill'. -Any meal I've spent over $150 on. Literally never worth it. -Any 'education' product I didn't have immediate use for / got sold on due to copywriting -Every vitamin/supplement I've ever bought (with rare...

    Is Marriage Part of the Script?

    Yes, Marriage & kids IS part of the Script. But it's about Society's specific ideas that you should get married and what that entails - not the marriage/kids specifically. For instance, the idea that Husbands are supposed to sacrifice themselves for their wife & kids, which even our churches...

    The lack of interest in ownership is partially a psychological shift (ownership = higher risk), partially financially driven (people don't have cash to afford down payments/tax incentives), and partially because as businesses have responded to 1 & 2 the options are vastly improving. This is the...

    Home ownership is dropping like a rock, car ownership is too (leasing is way up + Uber, etc), and the number of kids people have is also down. What we assume WILL happen isn't happening. And I don't think it's coming back. *Edit: Full time employment is also way down. People are having to do...

    Middle Class is simply a math calculation from median income. From the article "The income it takes to be middle income varies by household size, with smaller households requiring less to support the same lifestyle as larger households. Thus, a one-person household needed only $24,000 to...

    Imagine a bell curve with a large hump in the middle, where the majority make a good living, with a few making an extravagant living & a few in poverty. That was America 30 years ago. Today, that bell curve is flattening and moving to the left, where less people make a good living, a few more...

    Well this sounds like a discussion. Consumerism isn't going away. It's shifting. I hate HuffPo, but here's a decent collection of charts that show what I'm talking about with the Middle Class. The Sad State Of America's Middle Class, In 6 Charts | HuffPost I don't follow your point...

    You cannot prove a prediction. Edit: There's plenty of proof that the Middle Class, and the pool of consumers with disposable income, has already been reduced. I can do a quick Google for you if you'd like. But the proof that it has happened in the past is not proof it will get worse in the...

    Income Inequality is not the cause of the Middle Class disappearing. It is a symptom of it. The only thing I said about the cause was "Public policies will encourage it, and technology will enable it." I should have never mentioned the word Income Inequality because it obviously makes everyone...

    You seem to be stuck on some political perspective. That's not my take. My take is simply that the pool of potential customers with disposable income is shrinking. You must define disparity of opportunity very rigidly - there are not laws that prevent opportunities for certain people. But...

    You can't even mention the word Income Inequality without people assuming you hate rich people. I don't hate rich people. I'm no Socialist. I'm a business man looking at where the market is moving. And my view is that you do not want to be relying on a large base of people with disposable...

    We do not have equal initial opportunity, and disparity of outcome certainly exists with or without it.

    Income Inequality is a fact, so are median wages - even if you find it misleading. Like I said, I'm not complaining nor am I suggesting to support Socialism or something. I'm pointing out that the Market is changing, and we as Business Owners should be prepared.

    No disagreement. The ratio is getting worse though. Yes, there will always be consumers but their level of disposable income will go down. I didn't say I don't want to sell to poor people. That's actually going to be the biggest growth market as the Middle Class becomes increasingly poor.

    Income Inequality is the uneven distribution of income. Some Income Inequality is inherent in any system, particularly Capitalism, and not a problem in and of itself. America is near it's all-time high point of Income Inequality, and it has been rising for the past 30 years. Median wages have...
