Me too, I had money. Then, Trump imposed tariffs on China which made my stock take a dive, and the company I used to work for suffered, meaning fewer raises or bonuses. Not saying tariffs were 100% a bad idea, China was, and is still, stealing our tech (observed first hand while at that job), but that didn't help with the economy.
Then we had covid, which didn't help, and Trump definitely mismanaged that. Biden then took over and ... also mismanaged, but the opposite way, causing inflation. Thankfully, they brought it back under control, where we are now.
Now I have a new job and more money is flowing. And honestly, most of this is neither president's fault or merit, really, they just like to point fingers and take credits for stuff they didn't do.
