Can you see the REAL reason behind today's economy crisis ?

Sub Prime crisis is not new now, most people would know why it happens, this is just another video about it. But I am just curious how many of us can answer this question ...

First watch this video if you don't know why sub prime crisis happen ( the reason that triggers today world economy collapse ! )

In short, it says ...

home owner buy a $100k house but has no money
home owner borrow money from lender by mortgaging the house to the lender
home owner has to pay $200k to the lender in 30 years
investment banker get loan and buy the mortgage from the lender for $220k
investment banker turns the mortgages into another finance tool
investment banker sell this finance tool to investors
investors get good returns
investment banker receive money from investors and home owner, pay his loan and still earn
if home owner default in payment, investment banker take the house, resell to another home owner
cycle continues, almost everyone earns except the defaulters, which is really their own faults.

Now, the video says the turning point is when we start to sell the house to the sub-prime home owners, which are the people who are less rich and most likely unable to repay their debts. But what do you think ? What has really gone wrong in this cycle ?

Understand this truly may open our eyes to recognize the fact that not only properties, but almost everywhere in today's finance ecology, similar 'time bombs' are being created and rebuilt every single day.

What do you think has really gone wrong in above point by point list of narration ?

What is really important in Personal Finance Planning ?

There is a great video I have seen in LCF where he talks about Insurance Investment Retirement Tax Estate Planning Although I may not agree to all points but it is actually quite good and all points presented professionally. Some of my pondering points 5-6% investment cost is NOT LOW Actually whether an investment cost is low or not is always relative. For example, if you are paying 20-30% to others to manage your portfolio then it is lower to find one that is 5-6%. Likewise, paying 1-2% fee when you manage your own investment is common. So it is really a matter of your money vs your time. If you pay more fee, you would expect better services just like any other things in life. Thousands of saving on tax can be compounded to millions While its true you could save on tax but usually its not in a huge magnitude.

21st century trick ...

Once upon a time, there was a gasoline called 97. The cost of this item was $1.80. One day, the governing body wanted to increase the price to $2.10. However, the governing body knows that if they simply increase price, that will affect their popularity. Which in turn affect their eligibility to continue to be governing body in next election. Hence they come up with a perfect idea. They first introduce another brand called 95. Actually this is a much lower quality product than 97. In short, 97 simply means there is at least 97% of pure petrol in the gasoline. On the other hand, 95 only has 95% purity. However, they push out 95 as if it is a better quality product. They even add some 'addictive' into 95 to justify their claim its a better product. It was presented in a way that 95 will replace 97, and stay at the same price at $1.80 More than 90% of the consumer fall for it. Hence the transition of 97 to 95 went through smoothly. Majority of the consumers pay the ...
