The Great Money Reset: Change Your Work, Change Your Wealth, Change Your Life

Product Information

What's hard for a lot of financial planners is they don't like to get into the emotional stuff," Schlesinger says. The best — and most expensive — planners do, of course: they see their clients as complex human beings, who have diverse needs and messy lives. Most of the financial services industry, however, is geared towards treating people as widgets that are expected to have a certain life span, punctuated by a specific retirement point. There's not much room for the human factor there. Schlesinger says good financial planners were already turning against that approach before the pandemic hit. Naomi Klein, in a December 2020 article in The Intercept, described the WEF idea as a "Great Reset Conspiracy Smoothie." She said that it was simply a "coronavirus-themed rebranding" of things that the WEF was already doing and that it was an attempt by the rich to make themselves look good. Klein wrote that Schwab had given each meeting at Davos a theme since 2003. "The Great Reset is merely the latest edition of this gilded tradition, barely distinguishable from earlier Davos Big Ideas." [13] Hundreds of the world’s largest corporations, including financial institutions, have already created ESG systems and reporting metrics within their companies, and investor groups worth trillions of dollars have pledged to prioritize these companies over those that refuse to participate. a b Clark, Campbell (10 May 2022).

Interestingly, in January 2021, the Trump-era Office of the Comptroller of the Currency issued a finalized Fair Access to Financial Services regulation that would have made it illegal for large banks to engage in the sort of discrimination I warned about above. But just one week after entering the White House, President Joe Biden “paused” the rule’s implementation, signaling his clear intention to eliminate the rule before it ever has a chance to be published in the Federal Register. a b c Alex, Boutillier (20 November 2020).

Among the most important figures in the Great Reset movement are gigantic financial institutions and/or their CEOs, including Bank of America and MasterCard. In one of the Great Reset Dialogues, John Kerry and other members of a WEF dialogue discussed how to rebuild the "social contract" in a post-COVID world. [28] Umbrello, Steven (17 February 2021).

The most obvious spark for this growing interest was a segment on Laura Ingraham’s television show on Fox News, which averaged 3.5 million viewers in 2020. “You know the idea, ‘never let a crisis go to waste’,” said Ingraham on 13 November. “Well, with the coronavirus, that idea went global. And since last spring, powerful people began to use this pandemic as a way to force radical social and economic change across the continents.” That is what the current partisan politics is telling us. Too many people on both sides feel the current “social contract,” however they define it, is not working for them. Income and wealth inequality are very real. People saw the wisdom of paying off debt and saving for retirement, of course. The emergency reserve fund? That was a harder sell.

A proper analysis of your current financial position isn’t terribly complicated. It unfolds along the lines of the financial planning process generally. I like to think about it in terms of a series of steps that I call the Fabulous Five. A 23 January 2021 Financial Times article said that policymakers around the world are anticipating President Biden's "reset on trade, tax and climate". [49] Then President-elect Joe Biden had announced in November 2020, John Kerry would be appointed as U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, [50] and Kerry was confirmed in this position on inauguration day, 20 January 2021. Kerry had participated in one of the Great Reset Dialogues on how to rebuild the "social contract" in a post-COVID world. [28] [51] Kerry said that COVID-19 offered a "big moment" that opened the possibility for the Great Reset. He said the WEF would play a significant role in refining how to respond to climate change and inequalities that were "laid bare as a consequence of COVID-19." [52] The Heartland Institute's editorial director expressed concerns that President Joe Biden, elected in November 2020, would "bring the Great Reset to the United States" and that "the country [would] never be the same."

During times of transition, having more cash helps us fight mounting anxiety better than a therapist, a drink, or a Klonopin ever could. Cash is the salve to the dreaded “what ifs”: What if your health worsens five or ten years from now and you suddenly must shoulder greater healthcare costs or can’t bring in as much income as you’d presumed? What if your new business fails? What if it takes longer than you expect to figure out your next endeavor? Stuff happens, and you want to plan for it. With cash on hand you can worry less, because you have resources at your disposal if you need them. Less worry is a good thing, right?a b c Schwab, Klaus; Malleret, Thierry (9 July 2020).
