Why does it feel like no matter how hard you work, you're still falling behind? It's not in your head. There are real, systemic reasons why millions of people in the United States, are getting poorer while working harder than ever.

In this video, we're breaking down 15 reasons why so many people are struggling to get ahead right now, and none of them have to do with avocado toast or buying too many lattes.

There are major food corporations admitting they're putting 3D printed meat in their products because they know most people can't afford real food anymore. Meanwhile, grocery bills are hitting $1,000 a month for regular families just trying to eat. And now they're blaming packaging shortages to raise prices even higher.

Middle-class jobs that used to pay $100,000 a year now barely covering minimum wage. Mass layoffs wiping out over a million jobs in 2025 alone and we haven't even hit the holidays yet. CEOs making 1,000 times what their workers make while cutting staff to boost quarterly profits.

To make things worse, corporations like Walmart are making entire communities poorer. Amazon is shutting down small business owners and keeping their inventory and money with no explanation.

No wonder why young people realize that the college degree they went into debt for isn't worth the paper it's printed on and they'll be paying for it until retirement.

We talk about families using buy now, pay later apps just to afford groceries. Rent eating up 75% of people's income. A generation that can afford $2,000 rent but somehow doesn't qualify for a $1,500 mortgage. Corporations buying up all the housing and turning everyone into permanent renters.

We also show that utility bills doubling overnight because working families are subsidizing AI data centers for trillion-dollar tech companies. Car prices so out of control that the average vehicle on the road is now 14 years old. And instead of lowering prices, they're rolling out 15-year car loans and 50-year mortgages to keep you in debt forever.

We expose healthcare costs that can bankrupt you even with insurance. The same medication that costs $600 in the United States, selling for 30 cents in other countries.

And after a lifetime of all this, retirement isn't even possible for most people anymore... because a million dollars isn't enough, and most people will never get anywhere close.
And at the root of all of it? The richest 1,000 people in the United States, hoarding 95% of all available wealth while 330 million of us fight over the remaining 5%.

This isn't about personal responsibility or poor financial decisions. The math simply doesn't work anymore for regular people. The system is broken... and more people are waking up to that reality every single day.

If you've been feeling like the deck is stacked against you, you're not imagining it. You're not alone. And the first step to changing anything is seeing it clearly for what it is.

Let me know in the comments which of these reasons hits closest to home for you. What are you seeing in your area? How are you and your family dealing with all of this?
