Here is an interesting article by Paul Farrell of Marketwatch.com.
America’s GDP has been falling and growth has stagnated. Since the crash of 2008, there was really no economic recovery, just a bunch of lies telling people things have gotten better.
The stock market took off, but the underlying economy has stagnated. By my estimation I think the stock markets will crumble this year and get progressively worse until 2017-2018.

Watch this informative documentary and if you are American realize that what is true in this video about the U.K is also true about the United States, as America is already bankrupt and its federal debt is reaching 20 Trillion dollars.
America is now “Not For The People” any more, it has lost the idealism years ago. It is now “For the Government and Corporations” and screw the people. This is a result of course, due to mismanagement of American taxpayers money by corrupt government officials that have waste and stole all they can from the pot of cash. Who ends up paying for all the irresponsibility?? …you guess it the taxpayers / citizens.
First of all 25% of Canadians think that their mortgage and car payment is not considered as DEBT. Let me just say that these people need some serious “personal finance” training from Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Anything that takes /subtracts from your monthly income and cause you to have less disposable income / spending money is considered a liability or debt. Also any loan/credit that keeps you from saving money in a TFSA or high interest account is detrimental to your financial health.
