How you country looks like


Imagine a country like this:

  1. A total of 48 million inhabitants.
  2. 7.2 million under 16 years old. Therefore, they do not work.
  3. Among retirees, pensioners, the disabled, students, housewives, unemployed... there are 16.7 million who also do not work.
  4. That leaves us with 24 million people available to work (half of the country).
  5. Of those 24 million, 3.6 million are employed by the state, regions, municipalities, whatever.
  6. The rest are self-employed and salaried workers. Specifically: • 3.2 million are self-employed and the rest works for others.

​

In round numbers, 20.25 million or around 42% of the total population financially support the rest of the country.

​

That country is Spain, but percentages are not very different now in most of the “developed” (aka, settled / well-off) world.

​

Italy: ~47% of the total population

France: ~43% of the total population

UK: ~52% of the total population

USA: ~58% of the total population

Australia: ~56% of the total population

New Zealand: ~56% of the total population

Germany: ~52% of the total population

Canada: ~54% of the total population

​

Now then, do these countries have a future?

No idea. But it smells like numbers just don’t add up.

​

So, a question for you… Do you now understand why there are constant tax hikes?

​

You have now the context and the numbers, so I just have two more pieces of advice you didn’t ask for:

​

  1. Make as much money as you can. Don’t depend on anyone.
  2. Above all else, protect your money and wealth. Don’t let 'the bad guys' take it from you. You and your loved ones come first; then the rest.

Every day you can see examples. Our society is clearly weaker and weaker by the day. You browse around a little, and you see a post with hundreds of likes. I stop, curious. And what do I see? The dopamine injection of feel-goodism that dulls us all. See below: The true luxuries of life are: Slow mornings with coffee, staring at nothing. A good night's sleep. A fit body. Peace of mind. Living in the present moment. The freedom to choose what you want to do. Being surrounded by people you love....

You cannot help it. You pay yourself last. You are the last monkey in the queue. Don’t believe it? Well… let’s check. You have your day planned out. You're going to be strict and responsible. You’re going to do what you're supposed to do and not get sidetracked. You’re going to wake up early. You’re going to have a proper breakfast, hit the gym, work without allowing interruptions. You’re going to leave at a certain time, and come home without looking at your phone until the next day, but......

Many of us see our parents putting on weight. When you have 20 or 30 kg of fat on your body and you don’t maintain good muscle mass, it’s difficult to climb stairs, get on the ground and stand up without help, or even walk. Can you imagine 20 kg less fat and 5 kg more muscle? Fitter parents and grandparents. Fewer medications. Fewer side effects. More trips. More vitality. It’s hard to change habits that have been ingrained for many years. But there are some highly effective levers that can...
