Sound familiar? Today, the housing market is struggling because the average firsttime home buyer is 40 years old because housing is so expensive. Credit card debt just broke a brand new record of $1. 3 trillion. And one in three Americans skipped a meal this year because of the rising cost of living. This is why I like to look at history because while history doesn't exactly repeat itself, it does rhyme. 80 years ago, we were facing a very similar economic situation. And then one thing changed, which caused the biggest wealth transfer in history. And it might be happening again. In 1945, the home ownership rate was 45% because most Americans could not afford to own a house. Today, that number is 65%. Which sounds a whole lot better, but people are buying houses later, and the firsttime home buyer number is the lowest we've ever seen because it's so much harder for people to start buying houses today. In 1945, our national debt to GDP ratio, which is a measure of how much national debt that we have relative to the size of our economy, was 106%. Which meant that we had more debt as a country than the size of our economy. Today it's even worse. It's about 125% which means we have a lot more debt than we do size of collateral which is our economy which if you bought a house and you have more debt on your house than the value of your house that would mean you're underwater. So technically you could say that the United States government is underwater on their debt. And then when it comes to inflation in that post World War II that Great Depression era it hit 18%. And what we saw in the post-pandemic era is the inflation hit a little bit above 9%. So you can see the similarities between that postWorld War II time and today where home ownership was difficult. National debt is a problem and inflation made it harder for people to afford things. But then one change happened after this period which helped home ownership sore. It brought this debt to GDP ratio down to about 25% and inflation also cooled down. It was a great wealth transfer through something called the GI Bill which did three things. This bill provided free college for veterans. There was about 8 million of them. Number two, it provided zero money down mortgages. And number three, it also created unemployment benefits, which means if you didn't have a job, which was many Americans, you were going to get money from the government. and it created these business loans to encourage businesses to go out and get started because the government was going to give you a loan. And what we saw happen is that over the next decade, home ownership exploded. We saw home ownership go from around 44% in the United States all the way up to over 60% in just 10 years. While at the same time, we saw this debt to GDP ratio fall. Now, the reason why the debt to GDP ratio fell was due to something called financial repression. I already made a video explaining what that is. If you haven't seen that video yet, I will link it for you down in the description. And at the same time, we saw wages outpace inflation. So, incomes were rising faster than inflation. Now, here we are today in 2026. We have a lot of very similar problems. And the question is now, are we going to see a similar wealth transfer happen that is going to help the average person build wealth again? And it might be coming, but not in the way that you think. By the way, we've been talking about this in market briefs.

Today in the United States, baby boomers make up less than 20% of our population, but they own more than half of our country's wealth. And the oldest baby boomers are turning 80 today. Now, why am I talking about baby boomers? Because over the next 20 years, we're going to see these baby boomers pass down the biggest amount of wealth that we have ever seen in the history of time. This is what people are estimating that Gen X's are going to get $39 trillion. Millennials $46 trillion. Gen Z's are going to get $15 trillion and charities are going to get something like $18 trillion. Now, even if you're not getting any of this money, this creates opportunity for you as well. See, what we saw happen in the mid-40s was the United States government passed this GI law and the government got to decide where that money went. today. It's depends on who your parents are because if your parents were rich ### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00] well then that means you might get some money. And this is where some people get very angry. They say, "I don't have any rich parents, so I'm not going to be able to benefit from this wealth transfer. " And that's not exactly true. There's a few things you need to understand. Number one is that the easier money comes, the easier that money goes. The average person has little to no financial education. So when they get money, they spend it. And we see the same thing happen with inheritances. People might give you money, but if you're not given any financial education, people spend that money. And we've seen that happen with inheritances again and again. It's kind of like a stimulus check from the government. When the government gives people stimulus checks, it's not you that's getting rich. It is the economy that's getting rich. Because when people get a stimulus check, they spend it. Which brings me to number two. Who gets rich when people spend money? Whether it's a stimulus check, whether it's inheritance money, the person that generally gets rich is the owner of the assets. If people are spending money at Chipotle, the owners of Chipotle are getting rich. If people are spending money at Amazon, the owners of Amazon are getting rich. Which is why the way that you can win through this wealth transfer is not by hoping and praying that you had rich parents. It's by owning the assets that people are going to want to spend their money at. Because if this money gets transferred, well, when you get that free money in your pocket, people are more likely to spend it. And when there's more spending happening, that's a boost to the economy. More specifically, places where the money is going. So, the way that you can win from this is owning the right assets. And let me go over a few handful of assets that you might want to consider investing your money into in order to benefit from this wealth transfer. Now, I'm just trying to help you think like an investor. I'm not telling you what to invest in because investing has risks. You are never guaranteed to make money when you invest. In fact, you will lose money at some point. So, make sure you always do your own due diligence and never blindly trust a random guy on YouTube. The first thing I want to talk about is real estate. Because baby boomers make up about 20% of our population in the United States, but they own more than 40% of all of the real estate here in the United States. Well, why does that matter? Because what we're going to see over the next two decades is baby boomers are either going to want to downsize or they're going to give this house to their kids. And as people give their house to their kids, many kids are going to want to sell that house because they just don't want to keep owning that house that their parents lived in. And that means we're going to see one of the biggest liquidation events of real estate over the coming decades as baby boomers pass these houses on or change from one house to the other as they downsize. If we see an increase in the supply of real estate, that could help make housing more affordable if there's more houses for sale. That could be an opportunity for you to buy a house or also invest in real estate, buying these rental properties because if there's more supply, that could be a better buying opportunity. Now, if you believe that real estate is a good investment opportunity, you don't want to go out and buy a property. There are ways for you to get exposure to real estate without actually going out and buying a physical property yourself. I'll go over a couple examples. Again, I'm not telling you what to invest in. I just want you to start thinking like an investor so you understand the different ways that you can invest your money. Number one, these are ETFs, meaning they're funds or groups of companies that you can buy. And the first one is VNQ. This is an ETF. Again, a fund that is created by a company called Vanguard that is going to give you exposure to real estate companies. These are residential companies, commercial companies, healthcare facilities. It is a broad real estate ETF, meaning fund. Another one is SCH. another real estate fund created by a company called Schwab. This one similarly is going to give you broad exposure to the real estate market. The second thing you can think about is health care because as we have this population that is aging well people need more health care as they get older which creates an opportunity because if people need more healthare that means more money is going to go into health care and well you could invest in those health care companies as well. Here are a few examples. Number one is an ETF called XLV. This is an ETF that's going to give you exposure to the healthc care select sector spider SPDR ETF. Give you exposure to the larger pharmaceutical companies, biotech companies, medical device companies, and insurance companies. Another one is AGNG. It says it in the name. This is an ETF that is giving you exposure to the aging population industry. This is companies that are specifically designed around the aging demographic. things like senior living, pharmaceuticals, home care technology, and long-term care. And then we have VHT. This is another fund that's created by Vanguard. This ETF is going to give you exposure to the Vanguard Healthcare ETF. This is broader healthcare exposure across 400 plus different companies. Number three is dividend paying stocks. And the reason why I want to talk about this specifically is because when you look at the people who are inheriting money and say they want to invest it, the place where they it now is for income. We're starting to see this growing trend of younger people say, "I want to invest my money into dividends. " Now, I love dividend investing. I love investing for income because I like cash flow. But we're starting to see this as a growing trend. ### Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00) [10:00] So if people get this inherited money and the people that decide to invest it invest into dividend paying companies, that means the funds and stocks that will benefit are the ones that are paying dividends. Here are a few examples. SCHD, as a disclosure, I'm personally invested in SCHD. This is the fund created by Schwab. And this is going to give you exposure to a group of highquality dividend companies. These are companies that have been paying out dividends for at least 10 plus years. So these are companies that are growing their profits, hoping to grow the share price, but also trying to grow their dividends. Another one is VIM. Again, disclosure, I'm personally invested in this. This is a fund created by Vanguard where it does something very similar. This is giving me exposure to broad dividend companies across 400 plus dividend stocks. And then we have VIG. This is another fund created by Vanguard. This is a fund that's focused on dividend appreciation, meaning dividend growth. Because in this fund, you have to have paid out and grown your dividend for at least 10 years to qualify to it into the VIG fund. Or number four, you can invest your money where people are going to be spending the money. Because we know that Gen Xers spend money differently than the way boomers do. And we know millennials spend money differently than boomers. And we know Jenzers that generally younger people are a little bit more okay spending money on different things. And so you can spend your money on the things that you think that millennials and Gen Zers and Gen Xers are going to spend their money on. Maybe it's experiences, maybe it's more Chipotle, or you just own a piece of the broader economy. Let me give you a few examples. VTI is an ETF that's going to give you exposure to the total stock market. This is thousands of companies that are on the United States stock market. You don't have to go out and buy each one. You buy VTI and you're going to own the total United States stock market. So, it's kind of like owning a piece of the broad American economy. If you want to get a little bit more niche, you can invest in something like the S& P 500. The S& P 500 is a group of the 500 largest companies in the stock market. So, it's not all companies, just the 500 largest companies. And this is where an ETF like SPY will give you exposure to those 500 largest companies. Now, the nice thing about something like this is if one of these largest 500 companies, like for example, McDonald's is a part of the S& P 500 today. If they start serving bad hamburgers and they start to struggle and they're no longer one of the 500 largest companies, you don't have to do anything. This fund will kick McDonald's out and they'll replace it with a different company that is now a part of the 500 largest companies. So, if you just want to own a piece of the 500 largest companies, SPY is a way to do that. If you just want to own the broad American economy, VTI is a way to do that. One of the most difficult parts about running a business is thinking about taxes. And I worked with good tax advisors bad tax advisors. And the bad tax advisors that I worked with were very cheap. So I thought I was getting a good deal. Turns out those cheap accountants ended up costing me a lot of money because now I ended up paying more money in taxes, more money in fees, more money in interest, not to mention all the more time and headache that I had to spend trying to figure out how much money I actually had to pay in taxes. Now working with a good tax adviser who was also my sponsor commonwealth. Now I meet with my tax adviser very regularly and we talk about how much money I owe in taxes and what I can do strategically to pay less money in taxes. That's the key difference between a good tax adviser and a bad one is the tax strategy meetings. Are you meeting with your tax advisor to actually understand what your tax liability looks like and what you can do based off of today's tax law to potentially pay less money in taxes. So, if you're a business owner, you're making over a4 million a year and you want to see if you can qualify to work with Commonwealth, I'll put a link to their short form down in the description. Again, this is only for business owners that are making over a quarter million a year. But if that's you and you want to see if you can qualify to work with Commonwealth, again, I have that link for you down in the description. So, what we've talked about today is after World War II is we saw a lot of changes happen in the economy where home ownership became very difficult. We saw very high national debt relative to GDP. And not just that, we had a lot of Americans that were struggling because of inflation. Well, we're seeing something very similar happen today in 2026 where firsttime home buyers are at an all-time low. At the same time, our debt to GDP ratio is higher than where it was post World War II. And number three, inflation is still a problem. Well, after World War II, what we saw happen was this GI Bill, which created three things. Number one, it was free college for vets, zero down mortgages, and unemployment, money, and business loans. And these three things in addition to other things that the government did like financial repression then changed the landscape the American economy. We saw home ownership boom in the United States. We saw debt to GDP fall and we saw inflation get under control. Well, now the question is what's going to come next? Because we're in a very similar situation. And now because baby boomers are entering the later years of life, what we're going to be seeing is that 20% of our population, which are baby boomers, own 50% of ### Segment 4 (15:00 - 17:00) [15:00] America's wealth. Well, over the next couple of decades, it is anticipated that this wealth is going to be passed down. And we see that it's going to go to Gen Xers, millennials, and Gen Zers. Well, as this money goes down, that also creates opportunity. It creates opportunity because number one, when people get that money, they have more money. But most people then go out and spend that money. Well, when people money, that creates opportunity because when money gets spent, it goes into the hands of somebody else. That boosts the economy, which creates an investment opportunity. Well, what does that mean? Where could you potentially invest your money? We started by talking about real estate because we know that although baby boomers only make up about 20% of the population, they own more than 40% of the housing in America. So that could create a buying opportunity should we see more supply of housing. Now if you wanted to invest in real estate funds, there are ETFs that we talked about. Then we talked about healthcare because we also know that as you reach the later years in your life, you generally need more health care which could be an investment opportunity as well. So we talked about a number of different ETFs in the healthcare space. Then we talked about dividends because we know that there's a subset of younger people that like investing the money that say that when they get inheritances they're going to invest their money for income which creates an opportunity in the dividend side of things. Should we see more money go there? And then finally we talked about but where are people going to spend this money when they get that money? And you can invest your money into specific areas where you believe that money is going to be spent or you can just invest your money into the broad American economy where you have these options here. Again, we're going to be keeping you posted with everything going on in Market Briefs, which is my free financial newsletter.

On May 15th, 2026, the Federal Reserve Bank is going to reset, and most people are not going to hear about it until they feel it in their wallet. What's happening on May 15th? The chairman at the Federal Reserve Bank is going to change and he has a new plan on how to shrink the debt crisis here in the United States. The only problem is you cannot fix the debt problem without causing
