The monetary order is breaking down. The US federal budget is on an unsustainable path. We're gonna be broke really quickly unless we get serious about dealing with our spending issues. We have an immediate issue in the next 3 years.

In 2022, billionaire Ray Dalio posted a 43-minute video predicting the impending downfall of every major economy based on predictable cycles that repeat throughout history. Many predictions came true: inflation surged, asset prices exploded, precious metals hit all-time highs, and global tensions escalated. All signals that a new world order isn't coming—it's already happening. As of a few days ago, Ray Dalio posted that the world order has officially broken down, meaning we are about to enter the last and final debt cycle where consequences become irreversible.

Need to talk about exactly what he predicts is about to happen, why these cycles are completely predictable if you know what to look for, and how to best prepare going forward. Financial shifts don't hurt the people who know what's coming. They hurt the people who assume that nothing changes.

According to Ray Dalio, there's a predictable pattern that all economies consistently go through:

New world order begins after a major crisis or conflict resets the entire system. Example: post-World War II when the US dollar became the world's reserve currency and global cooperation increased.
Growth phase: opportunities rise, wealth is created quickly, optimism is high.
Peak prosperity and power: country's currency becomes the global reserve, financial markets lead the world, military budgets increase, living standards are high. Beneath the surface, debt begins to rise, wealth gap widens, financial speculation outpaces financial productivity.
Financial imbalances: debt grows faster than income, asset bubbles form, inequality intensifies, political polarization increases, trust in institutions declines, people feel the system is rigged against them.
Conflict and disorder: social unrest becomes common, rival powers challenge the dominant nation, trade pressures escalate, money printing increases, currencies face competition. This is the point Ray Dalio warned about in 2022.
New world order: stress of debt, money printing, inequality, and political unrest reaches unsustainable point. Governments restructure debt, currencies might be devalued, wealth distribution policies emerge, global balance of power shifts. Sometimes managed through policy or reform, but old system stops functioning and new one takes its place. Cycle repeats from step one.
