- How Bad Was Inflation -- In Your Lifetime?
John Rubino’s Substack 4 1 JOHN RUBINO 20 HOURS AGO We all know that prices are rising. But for those who want to see exactly how things have changed in their lifetimes, Financial Survival Network’s Kerry Lutz just created an app that lets you enter a date and a sector and calculate the damage. Some examples: For consumer prices generally, it now takes over $11 to buy what $1 bought in the year Kerry was born. If you’re a lot younger than Kerry (and me) — let’s say you were born in 2000 — it now takes three times as many dollars to buy a house. And today it takes $16.86 to buy the amount of…
- Four Seasons of Robots: Operation Vivaldi and the End of the W-2 Soldie
Something happened in eastern Ukraine last week that most people scrolled right past. They shouldn’t have. It’s the kind of thing historians circle in red ink. Ukraine’s Third Army Corps loaded ground robots onto heavy bomber drones, flew them more than ten kilometers behind Russian lines, and dropped them off. At night. The robots rolled up on Russian positions that thought they were safely in the rear and blew them apart. The Corps filmed the whole thing from cameras mounted on the robots themselves. Think about that for a second. An airborne assault. No paratroopers. No pilots. No…
- Martin Armstrong’s Financial Endgame: Why Money Won't Disappear, Government Debt Will Force a Reset
Sovereign Debt as the Main Driver: Martin Armstrong argues that the upcoming global financial crisis won’t originate from standard stock market drops, but rather from a massive sovereign debt crisis. Governments around the world are facing unsustainable debt loads that undermine confidence in public institutions. And Martin nails another prediction shortly after the interview. He said that Ukraine was sending 100,000 autonomous ground force robots to attack Russia. The first stage already happened with the successful Operation Vivaldi that reclaimed a large swath of the Donbas for Ukraine. We…

- Gold: Inflate or Die—Inflate and Die
Washington has discovered a remarkable business model: make promises today, borrow the money tomorrow, and leave the purchasing power problem to whoever is still holding dollars when the bill arrives. Both parties can explain why their spending is essential and the other party’s spending is reckless. Somehow, the debt survives every election. For years, the gold argument has been summed up in three words: inflate or die. Let the debt machine seize up and face defaults, falling asset prices, shrinking tax receipts, and furious voters. Keep the credit flowing and give everyone another chance to…
- Bigger Than AI? The Longevity Boom—and the Companies Getting Paid When You Live Longer
Wall Street sees weight-loss drugs. I see an emerging economic shift whose biggest beneficiaries may never manufacture a single dose. Everyone on Wall Street seems to be breaking their necks chasing artificial intelligence. They are buying chips, financing data centers, and trying to figure out which company gets paid every time a computer thinks. I understand the excitement. But while everyone fights over the same trade, another investment story is developing inside the human body. Ask people what they want most from the next technological revolution. A faster spreadsheet would be nice…
- Beaver Creek Gold Rush: Silver and Gold Miners Finally Get Paid
I’ve been making the trek to the Precious Metals Summit in Beaver Creek for more years than I care to admit. It’s one of those rare events where the altitude isn’t the only thing that takes your breath away. Last year, regrettably, I missed it. And of course, that was the year everything was firing on all cylinders. Metals at record highs. Optimism at record highs. Figures. The one party you skip is the one everybody talks about for a year. So I came back this year braced for a hangover. Prices have come back to earth a bit. Still elevated, mind you, just not the stratospheric levels we saw…

- Ozempic was Nothing Compared to What’s Next
When I started taking a GLP-1 three years ago, my primary goal was straightforward: fix my metabolic health. At the time, my A1C was sitting at a prediabetic 6.6, my weight was 10 pounds heavier, and systemic inflammation was an invisible tax my body paid every single day. Thirty-six months later, the baseline of my everyday life is unrecognizable. My weight has settled around 200 pounds. My A1C is down to 5.7 and still dropping. Except for minor repetitive stress issues in my wrists from typing, systemic joint and body inflammation has virtually vanished to the point where slipping into the…
- Cathie Wood Is Right: The New Industrial Revolution Is Already Here
AI is only the opening act. What comes next will change the value of labor, money and nearly every asset you own. Cathie Wood says we are on the brink of a new Industrial Revolution. I think she is right, although I would move the clock forward a little. We are not waiting for it to begin. We are already living through its opening stages. Kerry Lutz's Financial Survival Network Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. I know Wood has made some predictions that required a strong stomach and a very patient…

- Iran’s Foreclosure Crisis
While cable news counts missiles and debates who won the latest news cycle, I’m looking at the balance sheet. Occupational hazard. After years chasing judgments and finding assets that supposedly didn’t exist, you learn something: looking powerful and being solvent are two entirely different things. Especially when your creditors start knocking. Insider Advantage 35% Now That’s the lens through which I view Iran: a potential foreclosure crisis with missile launchers. The question isn’t simply how much punishment Tehran can absorb. It’s whether the regime can keep collecting revenue, moving…
