IN THIS EPISODE, THE ANNUITY MAN AND TERRY SAVAGE DISCUSS:
- Preparing for recession
- The wildcard in economy
- The two most interest things in the market
- Living off of the interest

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- People are not prepared for the kind of recession we might be facing. The Feds will not let the government buy us out of this recession, even though it's a political year because of the mounting national debt.
- The wildcard in all of this is in employment. We haven’t seen unemployment go up yet, but there is a greater amount of people either quitting or soft-quitting, which is when people don’t quit but aren’t working that hard.
- The two most interesting things about the market are Bitcoin and gold. Blockchain, the technology behind cryptocurrencies, is going to revolutionize our lives, but it’s not going to be a refuge from the U.S. dollar.
- The goal is for you to never have to touch the principal and just live off of the interest. That’s the dream. Establish your income floor and see if you can buy products that will create interest.

"The problem is it's not just financial inflation. It's emotional. It's in the DNA; it’s in the cells. And you don't have to be a Ph.D. economist; you can be an ordinary person to understand the impact. That inflation mentality is what has to get broken." — Terry Savage

1:19
there's been a little bit happening

1:20
recently Miss Savage

1:24
um what's your take let's let's Jump

1:25
Right In because um you know we're

1:27
taping this a few days a day after the

1:29
FED uh just met in September and it's

1:33
going to be airing in a couple days

1:34
after that very very timely what was

1:37
your take on that I'm just going to step

1:39
back the floor is yours Miss Savage

1:42
well you know what there's an advantage

1:45
to having been around for a while

1:47
because this is sort of like where I

1:49
came in in the early 1980s and um I I

1:53
you know you know my background maybe

1:55
others don't I was a founding member of

1:58
the first woman Trader on the Chicago

1:59
Board options exchange I traded

2:02
currencies on the international monetary

2:04
Market at the Mercantile Exchange and I

2:06
was unique in those days and being a

2:08
girl doing that and so the local NBC

2:11
station had me on on a regular basis and

2:14
I came to them one day now this is going

2:17
to take you way way back okay before we

2:19
get today and I said I realized I was

2:22
trading in the treasury bill pit

2:24
and at that time you could only get five

2:28
percent on a CD except if you had ten

2:31
thousand dollars you could get a six

2:34
month CD that was based on the first six

2:37
month treasury bill right okay and that

2:39
rate was of course set at auction at

2:41
noon on Mondays or 12 30 in fact on

2:44
Mondays but the rate wasn't released

2:46
till about seven o'clock at night

2:47
because they didn't have the computers

2:49
in those days

2:50
but I was down in the pit and I knew

2:53
what the treasury bill was trading at

2:55
and I went wait a second I asked the

2:58
noon producers could I be the last thing

3:00
on the show I'd run over to the TV

3:02
station I called on to my friend on the

3:04
floor and say what's a six-month t-bill

3:06
trading at oh about eight and a quarter

3:08
I'd say wow last week the auction was

3:11
7.97 the rate's going to be a quarter

3:14
percent higher to get on TV and say if

3:16
you've got a CD renewing maturing today

3:18
don't renew until tomorrow the rate will

3:20
be a quarter percent higher in that

3:22
insider trading Terry come on

3:26
used to be called past posting you knew

3:28
the results before but the fact was the

3:31
Futures were telling you it was real I

3:33
knew that sure I mean I became famous

3:35
Infamous and one day uh we got I got a

3:38
call this is fire engine company 97 we

3:41
were out on a run what did you say

3:42
interest rates were going to do so

3:44
people thought I had magic crystal ball

3:47
and I was responsible personally for

3:50
getting a lot of people a lot higher

3:52
yields in those days you could go only

3:55
to the Federal Reserve Bank to buy

3:56
treasury bills right and you had to have

3:58
a certified or cashier's check a piece

4:00
of paper

4:01
and those don't have state income taxes

4:05
attached to the interest either and the

4:06
rates were much higher than the banks

4:08
were paying so I talked about that on TV

4:11
and the FED literally the Federal

4:13
Reserve Bank of Chicago called me up and

4:15
said and I went down there afterward

4:17
they were putting out you know blue blue

4:19
extensions there to guide the crowds

4:22
around the corner because people were

4:24
lined up to buy t-bills the reason I

4:27
tell you that story is because that

4:28
happened to me this week again and the

4:31
world is full circle yeah it has and all

4:36
of a sudden I was on Morning News at

4:37
Chicago I am on WGN news and I and they

4:40
gave me a question

4:42
what can I get for the highest CD rate

4:45
and I quick look down at you know bank

4:47
rate I'm like sure and I said but wait a

4:49
minute

4:50
the six-month treasury bill is trading

4:54
at 3.9 percent that's twice what any

4:57
local bank is offering in a CD right

5:00
here's how you do that remember all of

5:03
you who bought I bonds at my direction

5:04
to get 9.62 we could talk about that

5:07
later you already have a treasury direct

5:09
account now right tab that says buy and

5:13
then put down 26 week t-builts and

5:16
they'll take the money right out of your

5:17
bank and the rate will be likely close

5:20
to four percent that was just before the

5:22
FED spoke that was um because yesterday

5:24
it was been a lifetime since the FED

5:25
spoke

5:27
so what what's happening now

5:29
is a little bit of Back to the Future

5:33
um first of all ordinary people who have

5:34
what I call Chicken money money set

5:36
aside they couldn't sleep at night

5:38
didn't want to risk the stock market

5:39
right as I said this on on radio this

5:42
week they've been getting screwed by the

5:44
Banks sure no banks are saying send

5:46
money we'll give you a toaster right

5:49
they have plenty of money so they

5:50
haven't been paying the high rates so

5:52
we're at a moment where the FED is

5:54
pushing rates up that's just like it was

5:56
in the early 1980s when I first got into

5:58
this game and then consumers are

6:01
figuring out a way now just to get in

6:03
there and buy treasury bills at the

6:04
Monday auction

6:06
and then of course the FED announced

6:07
that it was getting tough so I also

6:10
think something else is about to happen

6:12
that happened before

6:15
I don't think

6:17
people are prepared for the kind of

6:20
recession we might be facing really go

6:23
deeper on that one because I I saw

6:26
um one of the one of the big investors

6:28
forgot his name and he said similar

6:30
things Jamie dimon from Goldman Sachs

6:32
kind of said that as well I mean you

6:35
know as I always say when Terry Savage

6:37
walks in a room most times she is the

6:40
smartest person in that room

6:42
um but yeah

6:44
there's no Crystal Ball but watch this

6:47
the last two recessions the FED has

6:50
bought its way out of where the

6:52
government has bought its way out of it

6:54
when the FED is accommodated so in

6:56
200720 not that those weren't severe

6:58
potential crises that could have really

7:00
wrecked America but in 27 2008 only they

7:05
printed a ton of money and they bailed

7:07
out everything from the automakers to

7:09
you know everything that was a corporate

7:11
ballot and the financial institutions

7:13
you know they were all merged together

7:15
sure the stronger ones bought the weaker

7:18
ones and some live to regret it but the

7:20
fact is the government actively

7:22
saved us from the pain of a severe

7:24
recession and nobody complained at the

7:27
time even I wrote a column at the time

7:29
saying this is in principle this is

7:31
wrong but they're saving us and the same

7:33
thing happened at the start of the

7:35
pandemic I mean I was prepared for a

7:37
market decline of 30 we actually sort of

7:39
had that in one day but then the

7:41
government said no don't worry about it

7:43
it was like Oprah a car for you a car

7:45
for you a stimulus check for you a

7:47
stimulus check for you a PPP loaner you

7:51
know the airlines we can't afford to

7:52
have you laying off people

7:55
and they bought us out of those last two

7:58
recessions so the tune of now we have a

8:00
32 trillion dollar national debt up 8

8:03
trillion in the last eight years both

8:04
political parties

8:06
you know absolutely but

8:11
the fed's not gonna let them buy us out

8:14
of this recession even though it's a

8:16
political year

8:18
and even though for example the

8:20
government will try things like student

8:21
loan forgiveness to buy votes etc etc

8:25
the fed's not going to let them buy

8:26
their way out in fact the FED is

8:28
actually not only causing the recession

8:31
but not only raising rates but sucking

8:33
liquidity out of the economy sellers

8:36
absolutely yes so I don't think anybody

8:40
is quite prepared

8:42
for how painful this recession might be

8:45
and I think the FED might even be

8:47
surprised because just like they let

8:49
inflation get out of hand you know

8:51
transitory not

8:53
I won't hold you to this but when you

8:55
say painful I'm sure that the listeners

8:57
and viewers are like kind of Define that

8:59
they won't hold you to it I won't hold

9:00
you to it but what do you what do you

9:02
say I mean obviously food prices are up

9:04
gas prices are

9:05
well that used to be what do you I mean

9:08
what do you what are you envisioning

9:10
well I I try you know I try not to

9:13
Envision health I like to be on the side

9:15
of the angels I understand

9:18
um here's what here's the thing

9:21
um we could have the worst of all worlds

9:22
which is a inflation is pretty well

9:25
built into our economy now

9:27
um yeah maybe gasoline prices of course

9:29
are coming down Energy prices and maybe

9:31
the potent's war will be over and

9:32
that'll help but we have a lot of

9:35
inflation built into wage demands into

9:37
rental agreements and and uh into the

9:40
pro I mean when Ford Motor Company says

9:42
our profits are going to be squeezed not

9:45
because we can't get stuff anymore we

9:46
can get stuff but the costs are so high

9:49
that we can't raise prices enough well

9:52
they're going to raise prices but

9:53
they're in the meantime profits will be

9:55
squeeze that's not good for stocks and

9:57
so forth FedEx saying the same kind of

9:58
thing so we could have inflation

10:01
and yet the pain of high interest rates

10:04
that impacts the mortgage Market

10:06
um that impacts other parts of the

10:09
economy and the wild card in all of this

10:13
that wasn't like this in 1980s is for

10:17
every there's one person around for

10:20
every two unemployed still unemployed

10:22
for every two job vacancies so we

10:26
haven't seen it in the labor market yet

10:28
we haven't seen unemployment go up

10:31
but and and people have gotten used to

10:34
what's that term um soft quitting or

10:37
yeah that's that's interesting and

10:39
people don't know what that is is people

10:41
going to work and really not working

10:42
that hard I mean in English that's what

10:44
it is they've just kind of internally

10:46
and mentally quit and just waiting to

10:49
get I guess get caught doing

10:51
very Basics okay nobody's trying to

10:54
impress a boss nobody wants to come back

10:56
to the office wait we can do this from

10:58
home we got used to it and the bosses

11:01
who are the generation that grew up

11:02
being bosses the Jamie diamonds at all

11:04
of the world are saying and the Goldman

11:06
Sachs get in here and then you start to

11:09
get some warnings like from Goldman

11:10
Sachs and from many others saying we're

11:12
going to have layoffs we're gonna have

11:13
layoffs right and I don't think the

11:16
general population I'm not talking about

11:18
seniors or those who are forced out

11:21
right because of the pandemic and

11:23
haven't come back but I think the

11:24
Millennials Gen X generation

11:26
they haven't lived through a vast

11:29
unemployment

11:32
haven't involved

11:34
oh my goodness how do I pay the bills

11:37
because the government handed them a

11:38
check the last time it was supposed to

11:39
happen right

11:40
and that's what I mean by painful and I

11:43
I hope it doesn't get that far but you

11:45
had the fat you had Jay Powell saying it

11:48
could be painful it revolves around

11:50
labor and we're not stopping I mean if

11:53
you said it once I wrote down a whole

11:55
list of all the things I was in a little

11:56
press conference if you said it once he

11:58
said it five six seven times we will not

12:00
stop until we break the back of

12:02
inflation even if it's what popped out I

12:05
mean you listen to that we all listen to

12:06
that but you listen differently than

12:08
most what popped out to you that was a

12:12
surprise that that Mr Pyle said

12:14
nothing surprised me he said the same

12:17
things he said before and the market is

12:19
finally beginning to believe it when he

12:21
said it after Jackson Hole and it was

12:24
short and sweet and everybody all summer

12:26
there had been a rally hey we'll look

12:28
past this bed the fed's going to Pivot

12:31
Al and then in Jackson Hole at the end

12:33
of August he said no I meant it we're

12:36
going to be tough and it will be painful

12:37
and that's when the market took its

12:39
first big decline the second big decline

12:42
came just about a week or 10 days ago

12:44
when consumer prices came out and they

12:47
ticked up it was just a one tenth of a

12:49
percent when they were supposed to be

12:50
sliding one tenth of a percent I mean

12:53
we're not talking about a massive

12:54
surprise but the upside not the downside

12:57
Market fell almost 1300 points in one

13:00
day so that's when the market knew Not

13:03
only was Powell meaning what he said but

13:05
inflation was stronger than a lot of

13:08
people had hoped it would be you know

13:10
and that this involved more paint and

13:13
then we had the feds saying yeah 75

13:15
basis points no big surprise 4.2 by the

13:18
end of the year we were at zero about it

13:21
a year ago we're now at three to three

13:25
and a quarter I got another at least 75

13:28
basis points to go this year this

13:31
election year in the middle of this fall

13:32
right I know that's surprising to me by

13:35
the way very surprising I'm happy for

13:37
I'm happy for it but I'm just surprised

13:40
well then they're saying 4.6 next year

13:43
well okay you know Savers are jump up

13:46
and down at least I'm gonna you know see

13:48
bills will be up there over four percent

13:50
in a minute but uh the economy's going

13:52
the business are going but where are we

13:56
going to deploy our capital in the face

13:57
of that kind of the housing market the

14:00
car market I mean this is getting ready

14:02
to unwind was there anything that you

14:04
wish you would have said

14:06
that I wish you would have said no I

14:09
think I mean were you pretty on board

14:10
with the whole thing it's there's

14:12
anything I remember inflation

14:16
and then I'm a student of world history

14:18
I mean inflation out of control I forget

14:20
Germany how about Zimbabwe somewhere in

14:22
a draw of a trillion dollar note from

14:24
Zimbabwe we all have that yeah I love

14:27
that yeah yeah and um I I'll give you

14:29
the best story

14:31
this is okay this is an interesting

14:34
story

14:35
a couple of weeks ago I was going

14:37
through the closet of all my winter

14:38
coats so I've been around a long time so

14:40
I have a lot of coats and thinking I

14:42
should do something with these these and

14:44
um especially since I spend so much time

14:46
in Florida as you know that's right

14:47
that's right

14:49
so I reached in the pocket to see it was

14:52
in and there's always Kleenex in my

14:53
pockets that sometimes I find a pair of

14:55
gloves and I pulled out a piece of paper

14:57
and it was a receipt from 20 I mean I

15:00
keep my clothes it was received from

15:03
2003. a little receipt from a carryout

15:06
from Boston Market and everybody

15:08
remember Boston Market

15:11
yeah it was for

15:13
a half of a chicken and two sides

15:17
remember we used to get the um I love

15:18
that and I love it a lot of stuff and I

15:22
was always a bad girl a slice of

15:24
chocolate cake sure and the receipt was

15:27
for

15:27
8.47 the whole thing the whole thing I

15:32
have it that is around here I the whole

15:34
thing half a chicken oh these little

15:37
thing and they lay it in there and they

15:38
I think they give you cornbread too yeah

15:40
sweet cornbread yeah it was good it was

15:42
really good yeah and and a separate

15:45
piece of chocolate cake which I at for

15:47
8.47

15:49
I mean you could barely get you know you

15:52
can get a Starbucks you grab a venti

15:55
Starbucks for that today so that's

15:57
inflation

15:58
and it slaps you in the face when it's

16:01
like that but you know

16:02
I think if you're listening to Stan's

16:04
podcast

16:06
you might feel yourself pretty insulated

16:08
from inflation but if you're one of the

16:11
people who's living on a fixed income

16:13
yeah okay it's great because it's got a

16:15
cost of living index and that it might

16:18
be significant this year up around eight

16:20
plus percent right but other than that

16:22
if you're living on a fixed income or

16:24
you're low income you're even I know you

16:28
see the headlines about you know

16:29
Starbucks workers striking McDonald's

16:31
working striking and genuinely they're

16:34
low paid workers sure whatever case they

16:37
get is it going to make up for the fact

16:39
that that pushes prices up and they'll

16:40
always be laying behind this is why they

16:43
did so much better

16:44
when there was no inflation even though

16:46
their wages were lower and Powell knows

16:50
that so I believe he's going to Stamp

16:52
Out inflation and that's the end of my

16:54
Soliloquy and it's going to be tough

16:56
we're going to obviously we're going to

16:57
have a page that you can go to Terry's

17:00
site you can look at her she's written a

17:02
couple really good articles she's always

17:04
writing good articles but we're going to

17:06
have that on there how to get to

17:07
treasury direct.gov to buy your I bonds

17:10
and all that stuff

17:11
but um

17:13
um you know we'll have that you can go

17:15
there I think you might have Frozen on

17:17
the screen there Terry I froze let's see

17:20
here I am I'm back there you go you're

17:21
back so the people on the podcast they

17:23
were just listening to me that's good

17:25
um let's let's talk about

17:27
um markets in general I know the people

17:29
were interested in the fed and and you I

17:31
believe you're correct they're going to

17:33
continue and he is Mr Powell is actually

17:36
doing what I hoped but didn't believe he

17:38
would do which would be autonomous and

17:40
independent which is what that was

17:42
designed and not influenced politically

17:45
you know good for him and I'll be the

17:48
first one to say I didn't believe it I I

17:51
wasn't thinking he could do it but he's

17:53
doing it

17:54
and maybe it's because this is the last

17:57
term maybe it's because that's what he's

17:59
supposed to do either way

18:01
you know he's got to do that but let's

18:03
talk about the stock market but before

18:06
you do that there are a couple of people

18:08
out there including my son who is a

18:10
markets guy who had dinner last night

18:12
said this so I want to just uh tip my

18:15
hat to the people who are saying

18:18
wait a minute he's gone too far he

18:22
should pause we all know monetary policy

18:25
works with a lag is this going to be a

18:27
horrendous recession he's going to throw

18:29
it into it

18:30
he should wait and see how it works

18:33
right so I've got a little dinner table

18:35
discussion uh with some business people

18:37
last night and I said you know that's

18:40
because you don't remember oh 1982

18:44
worked and he said the world is

18:45
different than 1982 monetary policy

18:47
Works faster because we can all see it

18:49
faster it's instantaneous you know then

18:51
you have to wait three months for the

18:52
minutes of the FED to come out so too

18:55
deference to those who say

18:58
how else should take his foot off the

19:01
brakes for a while and let's see if this

19:03
is working after all interrupt mortgages

19:05
are slowing but the problem is it's not

19:08
and I continue to argue on the side that

19:11
you point you just made

19:13
the problem is it's not just Financial

19:16
inflation isn't it's it's emotional it's

19:20
in the DNA it's in the cells and you

19:23
don't have to be a PhD Economist you

19:25
could be an ordinary person to

19:27
understand the impact do you understand

19:29
first hardest and fastest when it hits

19:31
you because you only have limited income

19:33
coming in

19:35
that inflation mentality is what has to

19:37
get broken and it might in fact let me

19:41
check that I think it will take Overkill

19:43
to make that happen so you should be

19:45
prepared

19:47
now if you're going to go back to the

19:48
markets be prepared for Overkill because

19:51
that was the volcker lesson he let up on

19:53
the breaks too soon

19:55
and then he had to do a double dip you

19:56
know I got mortgage rates right yeah I I

20:00
do I do think that um I always tell

20:02
people that I have cowboy boots older

20:04
than most financial advisors I mean

20:07
literally and we're gonna we're gonna

20:09
throw your Couture coats in there you

20:11
got Couture coats that are older than

20:13
most people giving Financial advice

20:15
meaning that we both have scars from the

20:18
past of those really tough events and a

20:22
lot of these kids just have never seen

20:25
it they've been in a bull market since

20:26
they've been alive no it's not their

20:28
fault it's just what they know they only

20:31
know what they know so going dovetailing

20:33
into that

20:34
let's talk about the markets here the

20:37
stock market and the fact I'd like for

20:39
you to comment obviously on how Bitcoin

20:41
is not acting independently or excuse me

20:45
crypto in general that's been

20:47
interesting to watch as well dive in

20:49
Terry

20:51
I think the two most interesting things

20:54
about the markets that the first is

20:58
Bitcoin and the second is gold I'll do

21:01
Bitcoin first

21:02
I know that the blockchain is going to

21:05
revolutionize sure our lives and the

21:09
technology behind it you're correct and

21:11
I've you and I we've talked about this

21:13
before sure but the idea that it would

21:16
be a refuge from the U.S dollar please

21:19
the entire world

21:21
is buying US Dollars and that's why uh

21:25
Canada raised rates Great Britain raised

21:27
rates uh the Euro Japan

21:30
is Japan Japan holy man for the first

21:35
seconds before the Millennium

21:37
um you know why because the dollar is so

21:40
strong our rates are high and on top of

21:42
all our horrendous problems were

21:44
perceived as the safest place in the

21:46
world given what's going on in Europe

21:47
and natural gas and it still is correct

21:50
coming here pushes the dollar up so if

21:53
you are in France or Germany and you

21:56
want to buy something from the U.S you

21:57
have to scrape together a lot more Euros

21:59
to buy one dollars worth of goods

22:01
whereas by the way if you're an American

22:03
Tourist not now but a month ago you

22:06
could go over there my son did and and

22:08
we have a wonderful vacation because the

22:11
dollar was almost at parity and they

22:13
hadn't yet raised their hotel rooms and

22:15
the rental car rates and so forth nice

22:17
so we have a strong dollar and it's the

22:20
idea that Bitcoin was is going to

22:22
replace the dollar that'll only happen I

22:25
mean it might happen in the uses of

22:27
Commerce because it's a natural sure

22:30
solution the idea of a currency that's

22:33
digital

22:35
but it's it's not but the but worse than

22:38
that though is

22:41
gold it hasn't it's like sixteen hundred

22:43
and fifty dollars an ounce I know

22:45
inflation that's causing the FED to be

22:47
scared to death

22:48
and gold has done nothing the gold bugs

22:51
is what we call them right the gold bugs

22:53
that's been out there I mean they have

22:55
literally they've got to be scratching

22:58
the hair out of their head at this point

23:00
because it doesn't make sense it doesn't

23:02
make sense to me either and I'm not

23:04
sitting here saying but wait it'll

23:05
happen I I who knows right I'd rather

23:09
own treasuries but it doesn't mean that

23:11
I don't still have gold left the last

23:13
time I bought gold was in 2008 when gold

23:17
plunged under a thousand to about eight

23:19
something and that was the last time I

23:21
bought gold but the fact is I never sold

23:23
it either and it was up to 2000 just a

23:26
not even nine or ten months ago now when

23:28
Jamie dimon came out yesterday and said

23:30
that Bitcoin is an organized Ponzi

23:32
scheme is that extreme

23:34
see you see now his first of all he's

23:37
he's been saying that all along

23:41
the use of Bitcoin and ethereum and not

23:45
only that about 100. it was right has

23:49
been

23:50
it's been

23:52
first of all the SEC hasn't stepped in

23:54
to regulate it and they will and they

23:56
will they will but up till now did you

23:59
read those scams of those I didn't even

24:00
know about it or I would have written a

24:02
column and waved the flag and said don't

24:03
do that you could lend money and get a

24:05
19 return through these crypto exchanges

24:08
I didn't hear about it until they blew

24:10
up and then my reaction was of course

24:12
they blew up I mean that's just

24:14
if it sounds too good to be true it is

24:16
every single time I don't care what

24:17
product it is period please don't forget

24:20
that always always

24:23
you're not going to beat your neighbor

24:25
you're not going to be the person you're

24:27
not going to be that person okay but

24:29
sometimes someone offers it to you it's

24:32
a great deal

24:34
alternative Investments

24:36
do you if they're offering it to you

24:39
don't you think they're making something

24:40
off you I mean since when did anyone get

24:43
so generous to offer you a double-digit

24:44
return on I can't miss alternative oh my

24:47
gosh run the other way I always tell

24:49
people that if someone knows really

24:52
truly how to

24:54
make money double digit returns you're

24:57
never going to meet them okay you're

24:59
never going to meet them no one knows

25:00
who they are they're running under the

25:02
radar screen and they're making tons of

25:04
money why you're not there's no

25:05
philanthropist out there okay giving

25:07
away ideas but yes um that bothers me

25:11
that people are

25:13
desperate and feel desperate enough that

25:15
they think that crypto is their way out

25:18
but let's let's put crypto aside here

25:19
let's talk about the markets in general

25:21
okay

25:22
um

25:23
what is your sentiment here do you still

25:26
think we have ways to go down or is it

25:28
just going to be choppy from here on in

25:30
well I'll go out on a limb I I think we

25:33
have a long ways to go down

25:35
okay

25:36
um

25:37
[Music]

25:38
I just

25:40
and I I think you know the February

25:42
they're talking about higher and longer

25:44
I think it's for the market it's lower

25:46
and longer the other thing is we've all

25:48
seen markets bounce back nobody I'm not

25:51
saying this will happen again but in the

25:53
decade of the 70s the Dow was over a

25:56
thousand and for the first time I kind

25:57
of remember that happening in uh you

26:00
said a thousand right it was over one

26:02
thousand that's what I'm saying people

26:04
young people listen to this are like

26:05
what she just said it's the olden days

26:07
right okay and and then it went to a low

26:10
in 1972 of 5

26:13
70.01

26:15
I was trading and um I know I'm old you

26:19
just can't see my grade here so I had

26:21
that fixed I'm still glamorous Terry

26:23
Savage I'm telling you right now so uh

26:26
and but by 1982 do you remember when

26:30
Nixon slammed the gold window and on

26:32
August 13th the Dow was still around

26:34
800. a decade

26:37
of no progress I don't think that's

26:40
gonna happen again we live in a

26:41
different world everything yeah we did

26:42
yeah we we really do but what I'm saying

26:44
is the the it's always going to bounce

26:47
it's always going to bounce mentality

26:49
it's so ingrained I'm not praying for

26:51
lower prices but I think if the if the

26:54
economy does take this kind of a

26:57
recessionary tailspin for a while then

26:59
that you can't forecast earnings are

27:01
going up for and that's what supports

27:04
the market that are multiples and then a

27:06
in a bear Market both multiples and

27:08
earnings contract but I never can pick

27:11
the bottom you know the bill doesn't

27:14
ring at the top or the bottom me and you

27:15
both know that never does 30 years ago I

27:19
wrote my first book Terry Savage talks

27:21
money and I I wrote a chapter that I've

27:23
included in an every I've written four

27:25
other books since it said

27:27
um here was the example

27:30
if you charge

27:31
so not even back then if you charge two

27:34
thousand dollars on your credit card

27:36
and you pay the minimum monthly payment

27:39
your finest 19.8 because 30 years ago it

27:43
was

27:44
okay and you pay 40 a year for the

27:46
annual fee how long I would go to the

27:48
audience as I went running around doing

27:50
speeches how long do you think it'll

27:51
take you to pay it off

27:54
and oh you know seven years 14 years it

27:57
will take you

27:59
31 years in two months the way the

28:01
minimums are calculated and along the

28:03
way on top of the two thousand dollars

28:04
you spent you'll paid another eighty two

28:07
hundred dollars in finance charges that

28:09
was people would guess and I'd say you

28:12
know I don't care what you bought that

28:13
you charge for two thousand dollars it

28:15
was Furniture it'll be at the Salvation

28:17
Army you know but if if it was a

28:20
restaurant meal it was down the drain

28:21
long ago

28:23
quote and I use this and if you bought

28:25
clothes even if they come back in style

28:28
in 31 years and you kept them you won't

28:29
be able to fit into them and I could see

28:31
down in the basement of this house and

28:33
you can see a wardrobe artist that yeah

28:36
I can fit into

28:37
but if you took the same two thousand

28:39
dollars every year or the first year

28:42
that you spent this year and put it into

28:44
an IRA of the S P 500 the average

28:48
historical return of 10 instead of

28:51
having all those old clothes and

28:52
interest payments ten thousand dollars

28:54
down the trade you'd have 46 000 or

28:57
whatever it was and if you did it every

28:59
year for the next 30 Years you'd have a

29:02
half a million dollars and if you did it

29:04
for 50 years because you're 20 now you'd

29:06
have 2.1 million dollars

29:09
so where recently someone asked me this

29:11
question what advice would I give to a

29:13
young person I went back and I went geez

29:14
31 years ago I did that

29:17
yeah and you know it works and it worked

29:20
out to be like under 40 a week to do it

29:23
so I don't call turns in the market the

29:26
the long lessons are not just the

29:28
memories of the bear Market but the fact

29:30
that if you consistently invest and

29:33
don't get scared out when the markets

29:35
are down and and don't get too

29:37
extravagant when the markets are up but

29:39
you just keep putting it in over the

29:41
long run it's always worked through

29:43
through all kinds of tough times are you

29:46
talking to the Boomers as well the

29:48
retirees I mean because this is skittish

29:50
times for them let's talk Boomers for a

29:53
second okay well you know I created you

29:55
know I always talk about the Bulls and

29:57
the Bears that's what you asked me to

29:58
talk about but I always added a third

30:00
category and I'm famous for this in my

30:02
circle said the Bulls the Bears and the

30:04
chickens yes

30:06
chickens chicken money is money you

30:08
cannot afford to lose

30:10
and you know sometimes it is not a

30:12
function of age necessarily it's your

30:14
circumstances in life but particularly

30:17
when you're a boomer and it was really

30:19
tough for the last years I've been

30:20
talking chicken money chicken money and

30:22
they would all come back but it's paying

30:24
a half of one percent in the bank and

30:25
the stock market's going up without me

30:27
yeah but you sleep at night and now

30:29
you're getting your reward but you need

30:31
some stocks even in retirement because

30:34
over the long run every 20-year period

30:36
stocks have beat inflation but when

30:39
you're 65 or 73 20 years is a long long

30:42
run so unless you're planning to leave

30:45
it to your kids you need a greater

30:47
proportion of chicken money or stand as

30:51
the kinds of things okay I'm turning the

30:53
question around

30:54
okay so I always said chicken money

30:57
short term safe no possibility of loss

31:00
but there are some products that you

31:02
have yeah that what do you tell Baby

31:04
Boomers here's what I tell people and I

31:06
did a recent video called a lot of

31:08
people it went viral you've won the game

31:10
why are you still playing there's a lot

31:12
of people out there that's that I say

31:14
their rates are at a point now where if

31:17
you can you can live off the interest

31:18
and never touch the principal if you can

31:20
do that in combination with Social

31:22
Security my question to you is why don't

31:23
you

31:25
and it's hard for people to miss out

31:27
it's hard for people not to be involved

31:29
they've been ingrained in their head

31:30
that they have to be in the markets they

31:32
listen to people like you it makes total

31:34
sense but what I'm saying to them for

31:36
their income floor in combination with

31:38
t-bills CDs multi-year guarantee

31:40
annuities which are the highest yielding

31:42
fixed products on the planet

31:43
if you can if you can never touch the

31:46
principle and live off the interest why

31:48
wouldn't you do that you've won the game

31:50
why are you still playing so that's my

31:53
take on it I also am telling people that

31:57
when you retire you might want to retire

32:00
not only from your work but also from

32:02
your daily interactions with the markets

32:04
I'm not saying that don't have things in

32:06
the markets but in proportion

32:09
um if you have it allocated properly

32:12
you're not going to follow it and care

32:14
as much and live and die with each blip

32:16
and and Jim Cramer talking point the

32:19
point is I think people need to learn

32:21
how to retire from their jobs which

32:23
seems to be easy for a lot of people but

32:24
also tracking markets because most

32:27
people don't know

32:29
um and they're not you and they don't

32:31
they're not passionate about it so

32:33
that's kind of what I'm saying right now

32:35
and I feel very passionate about those

32:37
messages

32:38
I have two questions for you as a result

32:40
of that first of all you mentioned

32:42
multi-year guaranteed annuities see the

32:45
annuities that's what they're to see it

32:47
inside of it right so

32:49
um what are the yields now and are they

32:51
gonna raise those as fast as the FED is

32:53
Right pushing treasure see treasurable

32:55
rates are the answer the answer is no to

32:57
are they going to raise it let me let me

32:59
answer a couple things at the time of

33:00
this tape and please everyone look at

33:02
the date because this is Evergreen

33:04
content but at this point in time you

33:07
know three year you can get way over

33:08
four percent five years four point five

33:11
seven years pushing the five percent

33:13
range guaranteed

33:15
um but annuity companies glance at the

33:18
FED

33:19
um it's all for them they're all life

33:21
insurance companies that issue these

33:22
products Terry they have and right now

33:25
on a two-year treasury note you can get

33:28
four percent or the day after correct

33:30
absolutely and I'm all for I'm all for

33:32
that because again I go back to winning

33:35
the game in combination you're choosing

33:37
things that protect your principle but

33:39
annuity life insurance companies have

33:40
life insurance products lifetime income

33:42
products and Legacy Bond portfolios and

33:45
then they look at the FED but the

33:46
biggest thing that drives it is capacity

33:48
meaning that there's so much money

33:50
coming into the insurance companies now

33:52
they're they don't have to raise rates

33:54
they don't have to follow in a linear

33:56
fashion with the Fed so when people say

33:58
well I'm waiting on the Fest and I'm

33:59
waiting on the fed well first of all if

34:01
you're buying lifetime income products

34:02
it's about life expectancy not interest

34:04
rates so you're looking at the wrong

34:07
thing and if you're buying mygas and

34:09
you're waiting for the fed the last time

34:11
Mr Powell raised we had three companies

34:13
that same week lower their guarantees

34:16
why because the capacity levels they're

34:18
reaching those levels so we're reaching

34:20
really interesting times in the in the

34:23
annuity Market as well on the fixed rate

34:24
Market

34:25
but again with who's the winner of all

34:29
this Cherry it's the Boomers it's the

34:30
Savers it's the people that want to live

34:32
off their money and not touch the

34:34
interest and think back to the Jimmy

34:35
Carter days

34:36
I'm telling you this is these are good

34:39
times for Boomers the only thing I tell

34:40
people it's hard to the fear of missing

34:43
out is tough and I did a video call it's

34:46
okay to miss out and I'm preaching to

34:49
the to the choir but some of the choir

34:51
doesn't believe me you know because they

34:53
still want to be apart I found it hard

34:55
it's hard yeah you know twice in my

34:57
lifetime my son has laughed at me once

34:59
was in 2000. and when I had all my

35:02
treasuries and chicken money and I just

35:04
this is it this is what lets me it's a

35:06
lot of money too but um and once and

35:09
just recently Mom this is ridiculous

35:11
we're having seven percent inflation or

35:13
five percent inflation you're getting a

35:14
half of one percent I know but my time

35:16
will come and I kept saying that yes

35:18
okay you just talked about another

35:20
concept and it raised people's ears out

35:22
there you talked about being able to

35:25
only live off the income of the interest

35:29
of your principal correct or the

35:31
interest whatever you can

35:33
I think maybe I talked to a different

35:36
class of people and you do people come

35:37
to you with money I talk to people on

35:39
television and radio and it's a wider

35:42
audience I I could hear anyway a

35:46
distinct murmur from our audience even

35:48
though they're your people not mine that

35:50
the idea there are a lot of people out

35:53
of there that just don't want to run out

35:55
of money correct uh the people are

35:57
living off their income presumably

35:59
they'll have something like they bought

36:00
long-term care insurance so it doesn't

36:02
get dissipated by by that sure and they

36:05
presumably want to leave it to their

36:06
kids but there is a whole lot of other

36:09
people out there who just don't want to

36:12
run out before their life runs of money

36:14
before their life and that's what the

36:16
just so talk to those people for a

36:19
minute yeah that's that's lifetime

36:20
income products I mean and let me

36:22
address we're at a stage now Terry that

36:25
I think to buy an immediate annuity or a

36:28
lifetime income product that is our last

36:29
resort the first thing we're going to

36:31
make we're going to look at when people

36:32
call me and let let me be let me

36:34
disclaim this real quick

36:36
the vast majority of Americans are

36:38
living paycheck to paycheck they have

36:40
less than ten thousand dollars to their

36:41
name and my heart goes out to them every

36:43
single day but the majority of people

36:45
that reach me or reach you are people

36:47
that that have scrimped and saved and

36:49
worked hard and put some money away not

36:51
saying the other people don't work hard

36:52
but it just has happened that you've

36:53
been fortunate but what I'm telling

36:55
people now we're at an interest rate

36:56
level that the first thing we're going

36:59
to try to figure out and always ask

37:00
people you know what's your income floor

37:02
let's add it up Social Security dividend

37:04
payments whatever what do you need to

37:05
live can we buy products that will

37:09
create interest CDs treasuries mygas

37:12
that you don't ever have to test the

37:13
principal because that's the dream never

37:15
touch the principle just live off the

37:16
interest

37:17
and people say but I want to buy an

37:19
immediate annuity that's fine that's a

37:21
turnkey approach but I think it's our

37:23
last resort the only way that I'm going

37:24
to come off of that is as we get older

37:27
there's some cognitive decline issues

37:29
that we need to address whereas lifetime

37:31
income guaranteed products like

37:32
immediate annuities or deferred income

37:34
annuities qlex those type of things they

37:36
do have their place because we're all

37:37
going to get there if we live long

37:39
enough that we're not hitting on all

37:40
cylinders so it's an interesting time in

37:43
my world all right now okay let me say

37:47
this the acknowledgment of what you said

37:48
30 of Social Security recipients

37:52
depend on social security for ninety

37:54
percent I know I know we're not talking

37:56
to that and but we're not

37:58
we're talking about

38:00
probably tune in because you because

38:01
your choice all right so now

38:03
let's say a 65 year old woman and I come

38:05
to you I know that if you give me an

38:07
immediate annuity and that whatever it

38:10
is 2 000 a month looks great now sure

38:12
you know by rule of 72 at seven percent

38:15
inflation it's going to be spending time

38:17
in 10 years

38:19
so what is the so that's your last

38:22
choice so what are you going to tell me

38:24
is I'm 70 maybe or something very easy

38:26
it's very simple I can't believe that

38:28
I'm the only one out here really talking

38:30
about it but people people say Okay Stan

38:33
we're gonna we can live we're gonna get

38:35
four four and a half percent we're gonna

38:36
peel off the answers we're never going

38:38
to test the principle

38:39
and we're going to do that as long as we

38:41
can and as these things mature we

38:42
hopefully roll them to higher interest

38:43
rates but then the question is but what

38:45
happens if we go back to low interest

38:47
rates then we look at immediate

38:50
annuities they might Force our hand to

38:52
what's called annuitize at that point in

38:54
time so what I'm saying is it's kind of

38:57
like that Mel Gibson movie where he was

38:59
he was uh the the warrior in Scotland

39:01
and they're charging him and he's

39:03
telling all his people hold hold hold

39:05
hold you know in other words don't

39:07
attack yet I'm telling people to hold on

39:10
the annuitization unless that's just

39:12
what they want to do if we can solve it

39:14
by just peeling off the interest let's

39:16
do that so what product is it so that's

39:19
a multi-year guarantee annuity that's

39:20
the CD type annuity so if we're talking

39:22
about how to do it in the world there's

39:25
really three products there's treasuries

39:27
there's CDs whether they're brokered CDs

39:30
or Bank CDs but one's sipc insured one's

39:33
FDIC insured and then there's multi-year

39:35
guarantee annuities all three of those

39:37
products protect your principal all

39:39
three of those products have a

39:40
guaranteed yield that's contractual

39:43
there's not a hypothetical theoreticals

39:45
and all three of those products have no

39:47
annual fees so with just those three

39:50
products

39:51
if you can pull it off then fantastic

39:53
let's pull it off and if rates go down

39:55
then what do we do then we annuitize

39:58
just enough to meet that income floor

40:01
and and that and and in combination with

40:03
what you're saying which is having a

40:05
portion in the markets if the income

40:07
floor is taken care of and we have a

40:09
good strategy to go get that

40:11
then you're going to be a better

40:12
investor anyway because you're not going

40:13
to disrupt those Investments and peel

40:16
off money because I I truly believe the

40:18
four percent rules dead been dead for a

40:20
while weight fowl blew it up recently

40:22
and then

40:24
but a lot of people are saying but wait

40:26
a second how do I peel off income from

40:28
my multi-year guaranteed annuity just

40:31
like you do with the CD just like you do

40:32
with the CDs okay that you can there are

40:35
multi-year guarantee news that say just

40:37
send me that interest every month

40:39
just send it to me every month and then

40:41
at the end of the duration with like

40:43
five year then we'll decide whether you

40:45
know we send all the money back to you

40:46
or we do it again do you have people

40:48
doing this in their Iris all day long I

40:51
know all day long I see here's the thing

40:54
about about let's just say investments

40:57
in general but let's talk about these

40:59
type of annuities

41:01
um buying a new is you're buying a

41:02
contractual guarantee it doesn't matter

41:04
if it's a Roth traditional or

41:06
non-qualified what happens is when you

41:08
pull money out that then the taxation is

41:10
different obviously but you're still

41:12
buying guarantees I you know me I'm

41:14
pounding the table you own a young

41:16
contractual guarantees only I don't do

41:18
any hypotheticals or theoreticals but I

41:20
think we're at a really interesting time

41:21
and I'm applauding

41:23
what the fed's doing because what he's

41:25
giving he's giving people choices they

41:28
don't have to annuitize they can live

41:30
off their money and treasury direct.gov

41:33
or go to my site and look at the migrace

41:35
or bankrate.com for CDs you can do it

41:38
you don't need to pay a fee you can do

41:40
this thing and um and then following

41:42
people like Terry I mean this is you can

41:44
do it you're right there I'll tell

41:46
people you know my last video was

41:49
um can you really cross the retirement

41:51
Finish Line can you do it can you really

41:53
do it you're right there and I'm like

41:55
it's a lot of people just can't because

41:57
they don't want to miss the next apple

41:58
or Bitcoin or but my point is this and

42:01
then

42:02
oh here's my here's my last point if you

42:05
can get foreign if your goal in the

42:07
market is seven and let's just say and

42:09
you and I both know if you can get seven

42:10
percent year after year after year on on

42:12
the street they'll build a statue for

42:14
you you know but let's just say historic

42:16
average 10 with dividends reinvested I

42:19
understand that I understand but you

42:20
know people don't people don't hold like

42:22
that my point is seven percent is the

42:25
guy no that's the reason you have the

42:26
nice building in the background

42:28
um if people if let's just say your goal

42:30
is seven percent and you can get four

42:32
and a half contractual or I'm talking

42:33
about my world or four in a CD or seven

42:36
plus in a in a in an i Bond okay if you

42:40
could do that then why are you putting

42:41
your money at risk for the extra couple

42:43
hundred basis points that's my question

42:45
to people yeah that's what okay you're

42:49
right you know what you understanding

42:50
the same message is

42:52
especially to this stage

42:55
don't take that train anymore you took

42:58
the train to work every day you looked

43:01
at the market every day you don't have

43:03
to do that anymore the chicken money is

43:05
good now the chicken money for chicken

43:09
money can do it you can live off the

43:11
chicken money right and if you quote

43:14
that's the Savage truth Terry Savage

43:16
it's true and you can you have to dig in

43:17
the principle a little bit you did you

43:20
worked so hard for it I I just hate a 93

43:24
year old woman called me

43:26
I'm gonna I literally got on the

43:29
conference call with her she was in a

43:31
some mutual funds and I said to the guy

43:34
sell that this is three weeks ago sell

43:37
that and leave and sell half of it she

43:40
was a little bit left that's a little

43:43
bit left and she said Terry I said

43:45
that's all going in the money market

43:47
right now but there's no

43:49
you will sleep you're 93. I didn't

43:53
exactly and you know and there are those

43:55
peoples out there that's the 85 year old

43:58
options Trader that doesn't care and

44:00
they know what they're doing great then

44:01
do your thing but for the rest of us out

44:03
there I always tell people Market's

44:05
tough because it's like surfing beside a

44:08
cruise ship you can catch a wave

44:09
sometime but most of the time you're

44:11
going to get sucked under the boat and

44:12
the other thing too is you know they let

44:15
us peons in from 9 30 to 4 every day and

44:17
they trade trade 24 7 365. what's your

44:21
opinion on that how do you answer a

44:22
person and go well that's not fair when

44:24
I see after market trading what do you

44:26
tell them you can do that look I am a

44:28
full disclosure I'm on the board of

44:29
directors for 20 years CME Group parent

44:32
of the Chicago Market too right the word

44:34
of trade so what

44:36
um there is global trading the world

44:37
exists outside of our time zone look if

44:40
let me just fully disclose if I were a

44:44
great Trader I wouldn't be on this

44:46
computer with you I'd be sitting trading

44:48
now even if it's after hours that's the

44:50
reason you're not selling Terry Savage

44:52
trading systems for two thousand dollars

44:54
I sell nothing I get no endorsement fee

44:57
I am totally

44:59
what did you

45:01
produce yours yes exactly because I ate

45:04
my own cooking but I also realized long

45:07
long ago when I had the edge I was on

45:09
the floor that didn't mean I was a great

45:11
Trader I am a really good long-term

45:13
investor I have some really bad stuff up

45:16
on my gold side Tower with a bad

45:17
long-term stuff but I've had some great

45:20
I mean I bought Amazon the I remember

45:24
the day I learned that they sold more

45:27
than books how many years ago was that

45:29
oh yeah

45:32
forever and never think about it I

45:35
bought hologic the day I took my first

45:37
bone density scanned maybe 25 years ago

45:39
and I said there's a machine you don't

45:41
have to get inside of it and they can

45:43
tell you and I every once in a while I

45:45
look at the stack I think and whenever

45:46
this way to buy stocks right there is is

45:48
buy what gets your attention that makes

45:51
sense yeah and I mostly use funds now

45:54
especially now so look the message is

45:58
everybody tunes into you because you

46:01
have something unique you you really

46:04
have a way of helping people well that's

46:06
what I do in my go to terrysavage.com

46:09
you can read my comments I don't sell in

46:11
there nobody pays no ads no clicks no

46:13
anything even though we're going to have

46:14
links to your books just in case oh yeah

46:17
The Savage truth I mean it's on Amazon

46:18
but that's no big deal now okay um look

46:20
the whole thing is

46:22
there are not a lot of people around out

46:24
there

46:25
that could take you by the hand

46:28
and Lead You Away from the giant because

46:31
I said it's a giant Financial Services

46:33
industry which is spending all that

46:36
money on television ads follow the path

46:38
to retirement we of course we take care

46:40
of you sure look at all the money

46:43
they're spending on the ads who are they

46:45
whose money is it it's the money they

46:46
get and fees from you

46:49
um I want to mention one other platform

46:51
nothing like this but I do a podcast

46:54
with the gal that created wealth

46:57
ramp.com that's Pam Kruger sure created

47:01
match.com for fee only yeah

47:05
financial advisors you have to have her

47:07
on the yeah and the whole point of it is

47:11
that um you will be with someone who's

47:13
not getting commissions can do a

47:16
complete financial plan and you she

47:18
personally matches yeah I I love the

47:21
only planners I've had people on before

47:23
that that do that we got to wind this

47:25
thing up but I'm gonna throw I'm gonna

47:27
throw a curveball at you because

47:28
typically what I do with people as I say

47:31
um mic drop moment but I'm going to say

47:32
mic drop mama where you're going to wow

47:34
us Terry but it's got to be a horse

47:37
analogy because you're a equestrian at

47:40
and you're wonderful at it so I need a

47:43
mic drop moment where you work in a

47:45
horse analogy go

47:48
well at one time I was married I was

47:51
married to a commodity Trader and he

47:53
said your horses are my worst commodity

47:55
spread I go short oats and come out a

47:57
long horse

48:01
that's pretty good look at do as I say

48:04
not as I do yes I do have horses I show

48:06
horses as a matter of fact and it'll

48:08
never show up on my website that's my

48:10
everybody cat everybody's loud a passion

48:13
it doesn't come up to be purely

48:16
Financial but if I I'm just extending

48:19
brought me to a point where I'd never

48:20
thought of before when you said you

48:22
don't have to play the game anymore yep

48:24
if your passion is watching the markets

48:26
that's fine set aside some money right

48:28
but don't have a heart attack over the

48:30
markets now you've worked so long to get

48:32
to this place of Financial Security that

48:34
you can watch this podcast

48:35
set some chicken money aside be patient

48:38
set up a plan do something in the way of

48:41
income for life at some point sure and

48:44
you'll be glad you did the the race goes

48:47
to the person not who has the most at

48:49
the end but who enjoyed it the most

48:50
along the way

48:52
as I always tell people there's three

48:53
phases of retirement and this came from

48:55
a good friend of mine Steve Harris

48:56
there's go go slow go and no go let's

48:59

49:16
Savage exactly you see that if you see

49:19
one

49:21
um I told my Consultants the other day

49:23
and I'll close with this is that they're

49:25
always wanting me to go out and promote

49:27
and all I said I said I tell you what

49:28
you do buy me a really Decked Out purse

49:32
with a really good stereo system and

49:35
then attach a attach a U-Haul and put my

49:37
logo on and put and then just let me

49:39
drive around and talk about lifetime

49:40
income and guarantees they're like

49:42
