Hi Marcus, this was another really nice presentation.

I dont understand the market. It seems all the market does is bring the cost up of everything that is NOT optional, like home and food, but it seems so never bring up the pay of jobs. What Im I nor understanding?

Good question. In a nutshell, because they are separate market that follow their own rules of supply and demand. So in this way a free market system is not "fair", because wages should go up as much as inflation - wages generally move in the same direction, but companies are very reluctant to offer higher wages, because they will never be able to bring them down again. Here is a good article explaining it: www.forbes.com/sites/johnbremen/2022/04/07/why-salary-increases-do-not-keep-pace-with-inflation/?sh=61c5af537533 But you have what I call your "personal economy of one" and because this is a free market system you can control it. Learn a new skill, change company, interview for a different job, get a side job, invest in real estate...
