11 Biggest Stock Scams In Recent Years

Money doesn’t bring happiness is a fine saying, but only if you have enough money not to have to worry about basic things. Ask a person who doesn’t know how to pay next month’s rent, or reducing his food portions so his children can eat properly, whether money would bring happiness or not. This is why nearly every person in the world would like to be rich, or at least well-off.
Most people work at least eight hours a day and many of them generally tend to only make enough to make basic ends meet, and maybe if they’re lucky enough, they still get to save some money for a rainy day. Only a few are lucky enough to make much more than they need, and live a life of wealth and luxury. And the fact is, things are getting even tougher now. A few decades ago, even earning the minimum salary would allow people in the United States to fulfil their basic necessities. Even an average job with little to no mental pressure would allow you to raise a family and buy a decent house with a mortgage that wouldn’t overwhelm you and little to no student loans that would stifle the very existence of your being. But, cost of living has increased a lot over the past few decades while wages unfortunately, have not followed suit. This is why the minimum wage of $7.5 an hour is not even close to enough to allow someone to cover basic necessities.
