Yes. Very concerned about this topic. If we think the economy is in rough shape now, just wait. And don't even get me started on CBDC.

Yes, I'm definitely keeping up with the discussion around the U.S dollar. It's been really interesting to see how it's been affected by external factors like Brexit. Personally, I'm keeping a close eye on it and hoping for the best!

The value of the dollar is indeed going down but I don't believe it will reach the lows that people are saying that it will. The U.S dollar is way too strong to take such a major decline, but the next few years will be volatile for the US economy

I have been following for the last 10 years. The return of the world currencies being backed by “real assets” is long overdue. If oil comes off the dollar standard, look out below. I just heard a CNBC or Bloomberg report this week, that World Central Banks have been buying up and hoarding gold over the last 2-3 years.

At the end of the day, there is no viable alternative. The US dollar is currently the de facto only option. People who predict the dollar's demise do so because of a weakening US economy, but they fail to contemplate what can replace it and how.

First 2 years for CSR is about to be over, and I’m looking at the value of the card against the annual fee. Combined with my other cards (Chase Freedom Unlimited & Flex) and deducting the $300 travel fee, the net benefit is $76. Is that enough to justify keeping the card? The lounge access at airports were a nice benefit, never got to use it since my client travel was through Amtrak.

Closing on my first home. Advice for anyone with student loans in administrative forbearance per the Cares act: once your offer is accepted have you student loan servicer put your account back in repayment status.

Specific question for fish based in the UK.
Could you let me know what your employer contributions to your company pension scheme are?
For instance, they contribute half of your contribution up to a maximum of 3%. Before any tax incentives etc.
Interested to see the variances, it seems to be substantial from what I've seen. If it changes with level/seniority, please make that clear as well so we can differentiate between companywide averages and individual circumstances / positioning.

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
