This is a great list of traits shared among many high performers. What’s missing? Or what do you find most important? In my experience the ultimate indicator is drive.

Survey from @LendingClub shows that 65.5% of Gen Z were living paycheck-to-paycheck as of March, up from 58.3% a year earlier … share is greater for Millennials (73.2%), but increase from prior year (+0.3%) wasn’t as dramatic

US paid $853 Billion in Interest for $31 Trillion Debt in 2022; More than Defense Budget in 2023.
If the Fed keeps rates at at these levels we’ll be at $1.2 trillion to $1.5 trillion in interest paid on the debt

Advertised savings rates at various lenders. With the Fed hiking rates, these have moved in tandem.
But, with the yield curve inversion, the longer term loan rates are not soaring as much, creating some pressure on the Net Interest Income.

🚨BREAKING🚨
I have just released the full trading report on politicians in 2022.
Despite 2022 being the worst market since 2008, both Democrats & Republicans beat the market.
Many politicians individually beat the market.
And many made unusual trades resulting in huge gains.

Everyone is a trader.
Some people trade time for a paycheck.
Some people trade tuition for a degree.
Some people trade risk for profits.
Some trade happiness for security.
Some trade principles for politics.
Some trade ethics for cash.
Everyone trades, few understand this.

Inflation is like a cancer. If left untreated it begins to metastasize and risks becoming a chronic condition with even worse outcomes. Saying all that, the treatment is also horrific and now the Fed has to be the oncologist and rid the economy of it before it gets worse. Hard.

As we approach CPI this Thursday, it's important to consider the leading contributors to inflationary pressure in prior readings.
Shelter, energy, and food are big contributors.
During September energy was volatile, which may help, but shelter is unlikely to have fallen.
