Banks must now report cash withdrawals or deposits of $10,000 or more. Furthermore, banks must report to the government any financial behavior on your part it arbitrarily deems \"suspicious\" or \"unusual.\" The World Economic Forum and World Bank are touting the creation of an international digital currency, an increasing number of businesses and venues in the U.S. have become \"cashless\" and the devaluation of the dollar has been in full swing in recent years. Swiss America CEO Dean Heskin says we need to be aware of the campaign against cash due to current and coming policies and prepare for what is to come through our podcast, THE SECRET WAR ON CASH, powered by Swiss America.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-15T08:20:22.976464+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370"},"episode":{"title":"Why Can't Young Americans Afford to Leave Home?","slug":"why-can-t-young-americans-afford-to-leave-home","published_at":"2026-06-24T13:09:33+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370/why-can-t-young-americans-afford-to-leave-home","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-secret-war-on-cash-6603370","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/why-can-t-young-americans-afford-to-leave-home--72657566","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/72657566/secret_war_on_cash_3p_281_a.mp3","summary":"In this episode of The Secret War on Cash , Dean Heskin and Chris Agelastos examine the housing affordability crunch now reshaping life for younger Americans. The discussion focuses on the fact that the income needed to afford a median-priced home has nearly doubled since 2020 , while home prices, rates, and rent have all continued moving higher. The episode also explores the generational consequences of that shift, including the fact that 1 in 3 adults under 35 lives with their parents , even though most of them are employed. Dean and Chris connect this to the broader shortage of entry-level housing, the roughly 4 million-home supply gap , and the way rising costs are delaying wealth-building for younger households. Key topics include: housing affordability and mortgage-payment shock why younger buyers are being locked out rising rents and shrinking starter-home supply why higher incomes still are not enough how housing pressure fits the broader cash-war thesis what this means for families trying to build stability Brought to you by Swiss America.
