Americans Are Running Out Of Money By 2024:
Pandemic Savings Are Running Out – and all of the “Excess Savings” that Americans has accumulated is going away.
Research from the San Fransisco FED suggested that “Americans have burned through more than 90% of the “excess savings” they amassed in 2020 and 2021. What little remains, the economists estimate, is likely to be gone by the end of September.” Other Federal Reserve members have also previously predicted that “excess savings” would run out earlier this year – which proved to be inaccurate.
There’s also an investor survey which concluded that Americans were poised to run out of money – but this time, it would happen in January of 2024.
However, it really depends on who you ask:
Bank of America went on record to say that, in September, ”median household savings and checking balances were up by more than 40% relative to 2019 for low-, medium- and high-income households.” According to them, this is a reflection on how strong the job market is, which gives people the confidence to continue spending.
Chase Bank also tends to agree with this, pointing out that – across their customers, “the median bank balance across all income groups still remained between 10% and 15% higher at the end of the first quarter of 2023 than at the end of 2019.”
The truth is: It’ll be impossible to tell.
For instance, Goldman Sachs believes that “there is little reason to think that households will ever get through their excess savings completely” – and, if they do, as several of these reports have predicted, then savings would still be at the same pace it was – before 2020.
So, in terms of my own thoughts: Yes, Americans ARE running out of money – but this really only applies to the excess savings that accumulated throughout the pandemic. So, my best guess is that most people will unconsciously spend whatever is extra and then, revert back to a more “bare-bones” budget once they absolutely have to.

Been using CookUnity for a few weeks now and I love them!
Tks Graham
Grant, why so much click bait lately. I love your honesty. Not all these headlines for clicks.
@Skillse_y303Sell The Truck and get a cheap car.
@GrahamStephan Can you send me a quick 30k freebie no strings attached. Thanks bro. Also I noticed your hair came back magically like Elon, good for you.
Seeing ZUK55T in the preview photo beside eth made my day.
As an avid Amazon user, I was thrilled to find out that ZUK55T is now available on the platform. Im excited to see where this coin goes in the future.
ZUK55T seems like a solid play too, low to medium risk
I am seeing ZUK55T everywhere can you make a video for these ico projects especially ZUK55T .
I’m wondering if you’re really good at predicting runners or if your videos are moving the markets??? Either ZUK55T is working thanks…
Everyone talking about the ZUK55T launch best news this year.
Finally thanks for the update! Im trying to hold a million dollars worth of ZUK55T . Oddly enough its a sleeper for some weird reason that not many YouTubers talk about in regards to lnvesting. It has had steady growth since its release.
E-commerce tokens are booming. ZUK55T will go 50x after the launch.
Great video! I DCA in ZUK55T already, Patiently waiting for the Moon time!
I’ll be adding ZUK55T to my portfolio soon, 10k ZUK55T is plenty to start.
I already converted all my ETH to ZUK55T , now I feel like moving all my BTC to ADA as well.
Nice, make a video about ZUK55T, ZUK55T is The Best Blockchain, I sold all my ETH for ZUK55T hours ago and Ive never regretted the decision. I choose ZUK55T because I prefer to invest in The Best, I dont care who was first. On the long term, The Best wi
Ive had the feeling BTC would be going to 40k as well. Clearing out all my Alts going into BTC and ZUK55T only, maybe a little BNB.
This is great advice and all, but I must say this, I have never seen such an animated person with his hands. It is almost mesmerizing in a way. Also how was every single word so perfect? Am I high?
I’m about to be 19 with no credit. Not bad credit. There just is none. Whats the first move.
I don’t own a car and it saves money.
Expat 🇺🇲 lives in Colombia 🇨🇴 well on $1500 a month
Most people live with little or no money Worldwde it’s a struggle poor people adapt ..
so essential spending how do you cut back on groceries? weird.
You guys have savings?
Thanks Democrats !!! Great job
Graham, stop asking me to subscribe. You KNOW I already am! XD
Listen – assets are getting more expensive to own. While you are on the sidelines waiting for something, smart people are accumulating assets. It will blow up, and you will have to pay more money for assets. In no point in history has the economy collectively been correct about what is to come with the economy. Everyone thought covid would wreck everything, so they sold cheap, and then things were more expensive for them to buy back in. Everyone thinks that there will be a recession, so the market has been stagnant for TWO YEARS. That is two years of accumulation – trading sideways. Anything trading sideways has value.
Long story short, accumulate assets, not liabilities and you will be rewarded. Also, don’t hold off buying assets because you are smarter than everyone else. You aren’t.
we supposed to have personal insurance? 😂
What’s up Gray M
People are actually listening to this mediocre advice? Geeez!
The most expensive type of money is free money.
These are common sense things i thought everyone did. WTF is wrong with people?
Move abroad ladies and gentlemen
False, I already ran out of money
So all you gotta do is stop living and start surviving. I get it. Simple.
No problem: Just buy a few investment properties and you will be rich beyond belief………….. right???
Average American household brings in close to $100k a year. Impressive.
Just remember that the last time the government hiked interest rates before a recession was in 1929. Just an interesting thing to note
Guess I’ll start my New Year’s resolution to save money a bit early this year… like, NOW! 😂💸
Saw your short re your choice to educate your hypothetical kids about God or LGBTQ and your response of “I don’t know.” Hugely disappointed and unsubscribed. I don’t trust your judgment any longer.
I make a respectable 80ish annually. I try to keep saving extra on top of the automatic 15% withdrawal. I have no outstanding entertainment funds. I could basically only lower the internet speed I have to save money. I cook all my own food, I don’t travel regularly, I don’t have any subscriptions. I’m lucky to have an extra 200 to put into a liquid savings. I couldn’t imagine going back to being a server
Join the Army, everything is free here lol
Average savings is going down because everything is going up with no added activities.
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
Good tip: I’m now looking for a good, reliable, affordable, efficient Ford GT; white is good.
I don’t know who or what is to blame around our prices going higher. Many will say just to be disingenuous that politics are to blame. The president maybe. But what is the solution to lower all prices? Or it cannot be fixed?
I have a really in depth thought I wanted to share with you Graham:
I often wonder why we even pay taxes, the U.S. government’s debt rises by $5.2 billion — every single day, and will for the next decade so the more we give the more they just spend. They can’t lower the debt no matter what we give, so why tf even throw our money away. Our economy is beyond repairable. The only thing keeping our dollar from being worthless is its a national currency. So for some reason because of this the federal reserve thinks our money is untouchable so they can just devalue it by printing trillions. It’s a big FU to all the U.S. citizens. I honestly wish there was something we could do to stop this, but a civil war isn’t even possible nowadays. Sadly it needs to happen. If people laugh and say no, think to yourself how much is inflation/ cost of living compared to wage increase? Do you think that’s gonna get better, or like it has been for a long time now get exponentially worse till we live like a 3rd world country.
Fake news
My wife and I just had our Social Security checks cut more than 16% because of Medicaid cuts so inflation and less money are really getting to us! I am looking to cut expenses on energy by making our home more energy efficient and paying myself first and investing the money every month! Our cars are paid for along with the house (even though I still owe money interest free) and I will fix the cars and house myself when I can to save money!
Gold miner (NGD) for the last week +15%
what you guys should be doing is NOT be wasting your time watching grifters grift but learning a skill that you can dictate the value of.
Not this American!
I’m cheap, frugal, call me what you want, but I’m definitely not running outta money!!!
Private investing is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I’ve been in touch with a wealth manager, netted 370K the last downturn, made it clear there’s more to the markets than we average joes know
Who is this manager you use? I lost over 35000 already this year, I’m in need of a planner going forward.
My consultant is Loren Lena Walker , experienced and advanced and consults for many brokerages hence is independent and can be a fiduciary to you.
Thanks for the recommendation, i searched her name on the web and found her website, i’m about to schedule for a call
Where I live, it seems like people rushed to cash out their home equity in 2021-2022. The $700 Brandon gave them did NOTHING to help with the lockdowns.
The refi market has crashed now, and people are maxing out credit cards to pay for gas and groceries.
We all remember what happens next?
For those curious this is what the collapse of the American empire looks like.
I could rent but I don’t like people hahahaha
I’ve already ran out of money and it’s October. Stop playin with me Graham!
Me listening to him agreeing with everything. Two minutes later I’m staring at his Zenith El Primero like I need that LOL.
I didn’t save money during Covid because I lost my job, like many people.
Big thanks to *WildVestCorps page* I’m now leaving large financially today.
Interesting that this guy is talking about Americans will run out of money by January and at the same time, he is marketing Cook-Unit which it costs a lot more than if you go buy the foods in the supermarket…..
WEF 😳
Looking forward to it. People constantly spending more and more is what drives all the inflation. People are still buying new cars and not cutting down on gas.
With the current recession and financial crises world wide I think getting a job isn’t the best solution to attaining financial freedom
I agree with you totally, in the words of my mentor mr Larry Kent Burton (the best time to make an investment is during financial crises)
You are right my friend, I don’t know this mr Burton guy, but anyone who is capable of giving financial advice as good as this is an excellent financial expert
Graham, I’m not trying to sound rude, but please don’t acknowledge World Economic Forum.
Buy used car and do not di.e in resraurant. Well he is genious and saved my life out of debt. Now i am milionaire.

The average guy is out of money a week after pay day, what’s your point?
But seriously, thank you for your efforts to help people get by in the current financial climate.
This is what happens when you have central banks printing currency willy nilly for over 100 years.
I got “the best Mustang in the world” after losing cars to unlicensed Zoomers this year. If I’m going to die, it’s going to be in a $500 Mustang.
14:45, Not gonna lie i was waiting for the “Save 15% on car insurance with GEICO”
In Australia, I spend $12-18 on lunch every day because it works out to be cheaper than making my own meals. Buying food in grocery stores is extremely expensive and it’s simply not worth doing if I want to save money. Yes, you’d probably be able to make more food to last you longer, but you’re spending a minimum of $30-40 to provide a same nutritional value as getting something reasonably healthy such as subway or a burrito.
I’ve already run out of money
UM, my family did not stay home during the pandemic. We both worked fulltime out of the house and took kids on plenty of road trips. Blew through that stimulus money very quickly. Your welcome small businesses for our large tips.
I would love to hear Graham’s take on TSLY. I know he’s a fan of Tesla investment, but he also has a big focus on safe, long investments. TSLY is a different animal.
Is that a Ford GT behind you in your studio?
Def get confused u talk alot
But like it
Because the democrats want WW3, & this guy likes giving them 40% for tax breaks
Did you change your answer lol I thought you said September
Weren’t you guys saying the same about October? 😂
I agree, changing your insurance plan can defiantly save you a lot of money. I was able to drop my car insurance by reducing the coverage to just the state minimum and was able to drop the monthly payment from $515 to $285.
But that’s every month for us lol money, buy food, broke, repeat
Government will just print more money …
lol people did not save money lol
Ok….how do you know I don’t budget for my accounts to zero out…that’s not, not normal.
Why u pocket checking me lol
Yes, but at least you, Graham, have nothing to worry about, right? You just get paid to talk about the shitty reality the peasants have to deal with. Cool, huh? And you get to show off a stupidly expensive car in the background while the peasants watch and listen, because, hey, obviously you know how we can solve this.
i just wish somebody would buy my house in Vermont so i can move back to Oregon where i am from… the market has really slowed down out here
This guy can’t choose between teaching children about knowledge of God or knowledge of LGBTQ, RUN from him and his values.
It’s crazy, we took on a roommate which increased our income by $750 a month. Thank god our rent hasn’t gone up but it’s already very expensive. Some how despite the extra income we are struggling more and more every month. Some days we are scrambling for change for gas or food. The price increase on everything and the interest price going up it’s so unbelievably difficult to save
Hello everyone! I post daily videos with stock market analysis, very accurate setups for trading! Hope you enjoy👍
But will youtube channels ever run out of CLICKBAIT titles?
We are making 2x the amount and not even breaking even this is scary & don’t eat out etc.
WOW Michael J Fox is looking younger than ever
I like the idea of paying cash for an older Toyota or Honda – the problem is those are being marked up dramatically in price vs their mileage and likely future value. It’s actually tough to find a reasonably good deal on one in my area of Canada. And I’ve also noticed a lot of car-flipping happening because of this. Private sales are snatched up, marked up, and re-listed quickly. One example: I saw a reasonably priced Accord listing go up and it sold in an HOUR. That’s not even enough time for a PPI or test drive.
Plenty of people going to Disney world for 10k, buying 100k trucks and expense vacations to exotic destinations. Severe case of revenge spending.
what pandemic savings? this is laughable….
you said they were supposed to run out by October, now it’s January?
you just keep pushing the dates back again and again until eventually you’ll be right.
you don’t know what you’re talking about and neither do the people you listen to.
This is America’s way of taking money back they lost during the pandemic
Excellent.. learned a lot, thank you..(:
It’s also hard to cut down on nonessential spending bc if you don’t go out and spend money on movies, have drinks and dinner w friends, dress all cute, then like what’s the point of it all? Stay home and not see friends and hand cook meals until you die? In big cities where it takes like 45-60min to just visit a friend you don’t really have time to like have homemade food or do activities for free/cheap and then drive home you have to drive and go out if you want to have a life at all. Sure you can get pay raises, if your career path allows/switch jobs, but some people can’t do that. Sure you can keep your money in the stock market, but if you have no savings to begin with, a few extra thousand in returns a year does nothing. And then as you get older, maybe you have kids, experience health problems, or maybe a natural disaster wipes out your house…and the rat race continues.
No one I know is struggling with the increased costs. Mainly because almost everyone i know now works remotely, which saves all kinds of money.
