Americans are bracing for inflation and a market crash: survey:
Inflation and a potential stock market crash. These are the two biggest threats to the US economy and to the financial wellbeing of Americans, so says a survey by personal finance software firm Quicken.
The Menlo Park, Calif.-based Quicken/SurveyMonkey online poll was taken earlier this month, which consisted of a sample of 1,200 US adults ages 18 to 74 from the Cint Consumer Network, according to Quicken's press release.
The survey revealed that nearly three-fourths who responded to the survey (71%) ranked inflation (currently at 7% and the highest since the early 1980s), as the top concern, followed by new COVID-19 variants, supply chain disruptions and a stock market crash. On that last point, the survey noted that 52% surveyed agree that there will be a stock market crash in the next five years. Of that group, 58% expect a looming stock market crash will impact their finances negatively, according to the press release.
Yet not everyone views a potential crash as such a bad prospect. Some Americans saw the financial gains that more aggressive investors had made from the day of the 2008 stock market crash, and are now looking to capitalize for the next one. According to the press release, 52% of self-described "aggressive" investors are likely to say the 2008 crash benefited them financially, compared to 18% of so-called "conservative" investors. What's more, 71% of aggressive investors, compared to 20% of conservative investors, believe a stock market crash in the future would benefit them financially. A notable percentage of respondents who believe there's going to be a crash in the next five years – 35% – agree that they're waiting for a crash in order to invest some extra cash.
A sizable percentage of younger adult generations surveyed – Millennial and Gen Z – also see the benefits to a future stock market crash. According to the survey, 41% of Gen Z and 36% of Millennials agree that they are waiting for a stock crash in order to invest their extra cash. Another 30% of Gen Z and 28% of Millennials say they're waiting for a crash so that they can start investing, according to the press release.

it seems you are fed posting to discredit legitimate criticism of the International Jew. If not, i would like to disagree. Jews need to be banished from "Goy"/White countries. Keeping them in camps only gives them more victim power which so far is largely based on Jew lies.
This inflation is just The Jew milking the Goyim cow, as always. The US government is completely controlled by the Jew and his Shabbos Goy race-traitors. Biden being a most vile example. The thing to do is to hurry up and educate Whites then take the country back by force. Cancel all international debt and balkanize the former nation into race based entities. If people actually want to live in a multiracial melting pot America (the Nation as redefined by the Jew since at least the 1965 immigration act signed into law by the crypto-jew LBJ) they can have a state for that. They will change their minds later once they see how brainwashed they were. It will be made obvious by the success of the White ethno-state next door, barring typical Jew attacks from foreign slave states like when Hitler tried to remove the parasite and the International Jew sent the Goy slave states to murder and rape righteous and innocent Germans.
