LLA Show Ep.#303: 2024 Predictions & Investing In A Sh#tty Economy

We are a couple of weeks into 2024, and this year has already started on a spicy note. The one thing is not spicy, is the current economy. It's been a crappy couple of years, and thanks to the folks in D.C., the economy doesn't look to get any better in 2024. On this episode, we discuss ways to tell inflation, debt, and all things trying to give your bank account the Jenna Jameson treatment, to suck it. This is the first of a few episodes that will give you ideas on how not to be the forever debtor the powers-that-be want you to be. Oh, and we share our annual predictions for the new year, as well.

However, not in today's digital world, which is slowly becoming the wild wild west. Imagine purchasing TRT, psychedelics, Adderall, or unlimited access to view every 'ass'pect of your next door neighbor, teacher, or co-worker, with consent. Join us as we take you on a one way trip the wild wild west in the age of Kali Yuga, mi amigos. Buckle up, Buttercup. This episode is, well, a wild one.
