Global debt hit $251T in 2024—over 235% of world GDP. Public debt rose to 93%, driven by deficits and interest costs, while private debt dipped to its lowest since 2015. Fiscal discipline and growth are key to reversing the trend.

Our focus is to acquire cash-flowing assets. Prioritize the assets column. It means investing in financial education and actively managing our own investments. Gaining financial experience comes from hands-on involvement, preventing us from relying on others to invest our money.

Its a strange world in which investors looking at bonds (fixed income assets) are starting to opine that corporate debt may be safer (more stable) that some Govt. debt.... that this is largely a nonsense (driven by politicised reasoning) is made obvious by a simple two-part Q.:

How many state fiscal insolvencies have disrupted the payment of public bond (Gilts) income?

and how many corporate insolvencies have disrupted the payment of corporate bond income?

The truth about Australia’s debt crisis is that most of it was built on Coalition government spending.
Under Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison (2013–22), net debt nearly doubled from about 15% to 28% of GDP and gross debt rose by around $638 billion. Labor has inherited a tough position, but since 2022 the growth in debt has slowed, and debt as a share of GDP has eased under current financial stewardship. We are heading toward $1 trillion in gross debt not because Labor threw money around, but because previous Coalition policies set a heavy burden.
Without addressing how and why the debt ballooned under Coalition governments — tax cuts, spending hikes, stimulus mismanagement — any debate about fiscal responsibility is missing the point.

This graph shows where #old #retired people have an average #income GREATER than #young working one’s. A paradox that is fuelling Europe #crisis. The way the future will be shaped shall be decided with priority by those who will have to make it happen and live it, not by those who took advantage of the past AND of the future, benefitting from rising public #debt. This does not imply a war between #poor people, but a taxation of those who became #rich by greatly taking advantage of #public #money
