This video is brought to you by a donation from Fritz and here's what he has to say: "Hi Sandman, I no longer care, all I want is to workout everyday and take a nap and have enough money to pay for my basic needs and buy all the food that I want. And have enough money to pay for my dogs and car maintenance and house maintenance. I really want to have a passive income so that I could do nothing all day except my hobbies and freedom." Unquote. Well Fritz I feel you. Now that you've effectively gone monk mode and are done with women now you want to be done with soyciety. You want to retire and live on passive investment income. Doesn't everyone? The problem of course is inflation keeps ramping up even when it was officially at 2%. Now officially 7%. The problem is that you're not the only one that wants to check out of modern life and the more of us men drop out of the labor pool the higher the cost of labor has to be to get us

back to the 9 to 5 plantation. The more of us checkout the harder it will be for other guys to checkout as well. That's why for me doing the whole traditional investing thing doesn't really pay off unless I'm in high risk and high reward investments. Even then success is not guaranteed. Everyone knows I'm fan of selling pet food and pet products to childless dog mothers in their fifties and profiting off that but the only stock that I like pet.to or petvalue stores is still way too overpriced. So how does a guy retire even if he's already living the minimalist lifestyle and how does he deal with the cost of living accelerating as more and more men continue to checkout out of the rat race? The trend is only going to accelerate like a land whale driving down the street when she sees an ice cream truck. The more men stop working the more difficult it will be for others to do the same. The cost of living will continue to accelerate because labor will cost more as men refuse to work. It's as simple as that. For myself the only escape hatch I can see if Bitcoin does it's thing in the next two to three years. With the network effect continuing to gain steam I think that many millennials and even Zoomers that are now entering the workforce see it as their only hope so they will plow their money into it. What happens when the boomers die off and you have Millennials and Zoomers that value Bitcoin more than gold plow a huge chunk of their retirement money into it? Bitcoin would be considered a deflationary currency if you can even classify it as a currency. My point is that short of Bitcoin or some sort of miracle the average single man in a big city in America with relatively high real estate prices and inflation continuing to destroy his meager savings is not going to be able to retire. Especially as the trend of men checking out of the workforce continues to accelerate. Just the other day I saw a statistic that five years 51% of men in America under a certain age, I can't remember that part are single and not looking for a girlfriend or partner. The same survey was taken this year and now it's up to 61%. With no incentive of sex to produce most men will try and get their life on easy street. I'll discuss more in a moment but let me first tell everyone about today's sponsor Profit Specialist Group:
