You were told that a six-figure salary meant you finally made it. So why does earning $100,000 today feel like you’re just barely keeping your head above water? While economic headlines boast about booming GDP and record stock market highs, a hidden crisis is quietly trapping the American middle class. The brutal truth is that the cost of basic survival, housing, childcare, and healthcare, has completely decoupled from reality. To afford the exact same middle-class life your parents built on a single income in 1985, you would now need to work an impossible 62 weeks a year. The middle class didn’t disappear, it’s just running on time and money it doesn't have, masked by a multi-trillion-dollar mountain of household debt. 00:00 - The 62-Week Year 03:08 - The GDP Ghost 05:26 - The Big Four 08:13 - The Debt Illusion 09:47 - The Doom Loop Algorithm 11:58 - The Financialization of Survival 13:35 - The End of Progress Narrated by: Josh Risser 🔔 Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE! 🔔 SUGGEST A T
