2. Stage
3. Mania Stage

During these three stages, prices typically rise in a parabolic upswing, which ultimately results in a sharp, skyrocketing price spike.

So far in today’s , we’ve seen evidence of the first two stages.

Stage 1: Deflation Stage, prices increase because of devaluation. In this a dramatic drop in the value of the US$ against other world currencies has lifted prices over the past 7 years. This devaluation is evident in the 42% drop of the US$ Index between the summer of 2001 and spring 2008.

Payroll taxes is just a category in which to lump all various taxes that the government takes out of your paycheck. Feel free to put each individual tax on its own line if you prefer. The important thing is creating a comprehensive list that is meaningful to you. You may notice that the outgo doesn’t include items such as payment to a 401(k) plan and other saving vehicles. Yes, these items do impact your cash flow, but they are not expenses; the amounts that you invest are essentially assets that benefit our versus an expense that doesn’t help you build wealth. To account for the 401(k), simply deduct if from the gross pay is $2000 and your 401(k) contribution is $300, then use $1700 as your income figure.
