“Lots of men are working but not at conventional jobs since 12 March 2020” — Paul Ebeling

Consider now men are living off savings, or from money made in the market or maybe even selling NFTs.

Who knows, but quite a lot for sure.

Americans on average do have some money in the bank. Savings as a percentage of disposable income, according to the Federal Reserve of Kansas City, hit a record high of 33% in the Spring of Y 2020 and is still at 14%, or nearly 2X as high as it was prior to the VirusCasedemic.

And according to a recent survey by Northwestern Mutual, average personal savings are up over 10% compared to last yr, from $65,900 last yr to $73,100.

Average retirement savings increased 13%, from $87,500 last yr to $98,800 today.

Next let’s look at investing

1st stocks, it is not irrelevant to this narrative that the S&P 500 has climbed from 2,480 on 23 March 2020 to 4,441 today, or almost 80%. That is a huge gainer.

Much of the action has been retail investors and the meme stock boom, as millions of American males locked own at home with nothing to do all day for the past 18 months passed the time trading stocks.

Credit Suisse (NYSE:CS) estimates that since the beginning of Y 2020, “retail trading as a share of overall market activity has nearly doubled from between 15% and 18% to over 30%.”

The Big Q: How many men were doing this and supporting themselves?

The Big A: Not sure, but the new trading platform Robinhood (HOOD) the broker dealer of choice for many of these new investors reported that it had 22.5-M funded user accounts last month, up from 7.2-M in March of 2020, 15-M new accounts is a big number. 

Now come crypto: the fact is that the price of bitcoin is up from $4,861 on 12 March 2000 to $47,763 today, or + 10X.

Back to Robinhood last month that “revenue from cryptocurrency trading fees totaled $233-M, a nearly 50X rise from $5-M a yr earlier.” Those are just fees off the trades.

Bottom line: people have made money here.

A study by the Federal Reserve of St. Louis estimates that the average size of the “informal economy” aka cash in developed countries is 13% of GDP.

To give you a schooled estimate GDP in the US this yr is about $22-T. So 13% of that is $2.86-T. Even if half that money is paid out to women, that still leaves, say, $1-T being made by men in this country off the books.

More people than ever working for cash these days. Lots of people want to get paid in cash and so they are.

Have a healthy prosperous weekend, Keep the Faith!
