It All Started in 2011

I admit I am not the sharpest tool in the shed. I have strange ways of learning and applying what knowledge I have acquired through a decade of nonsense. If money and material things are at the forefront of your existence and you don't care about how socio-economics impacts lives and devastates relationships, this writing is not for you! A firm believer that history repeats itself and if your mindset has not been altered to true facts, you can expect the outcome to be the same regarding your money and the world at large on a global scale. Security and its securities... who benefits?

Where were you in 2011? 2011 was a one-year (numerology the beginning). I have claimed for over a decade that this was the year that changed everything. The year 2011 subconsciously played havoc in people's lives. It took over the foundation for what anyone was trying to achieve and who they were trying to get something over on someone else. It was a year of reveal and discovery and the beginning of seeing motives played out in front of your eyes!

Personally, this was the year that devastatingly changed the trajectory of my life. The relationship that I was in resulted in one more woman moving into his house behind my back. I was left for dead after phone call after phone call was not returned. (too busy drinking with his other supply) I was sick with a serious infection that needed immediate attention which later down the road came in the form of leukemia I have now. (Although it wasn't diagnosed until 2013) Another woman by then had made her way into his house. 2011, Sick and trying to work, dealing with a late-in-life female situation, being accused of not wanting to work or not finding adequate employment to suit his bs lifestyle or to pay for his children; using every bit of my financial resources to just survive and afford him, govt assist was the only way to feed my own child. There were no jobs to be had. The unemployment rate was over 10%. The only available position was to bartend. (mind you this came on the heels of being an operation manager and event coordinator) That position came to an end with the economic crash!

Imagine being blamed for a world crisis because someone could not have his life funded. I would not move into a house that had already been shared by the other many women. A revolving door of women he used to placate, set up to provide, and give him what he could not do for himself. Imagine being made fun of because of my ideas for wanting a different type of life. Imagine being so jealous and deviant that the women he paraded around with set in motion a ball of gossip with the job I was trying to do which already was tormenting; mentally and emotionally crippled life. Not to mention the phone calls I received from those women because of the lies he told them to manipulate the situation.

By 2013 I had had enough. Recovery was my only intention and how I was to do this was to learn and study a (2014-2016) form of psychology and life coaching to benefit and elevate my income status. I chose these subjects so I could teach others the scope of what financial abuse looks like and how emotional- socio-environment and economic welfare affect all relationships(personal and working ) from all outside stances. This is what I mean when I say there is always a trickle-down effect. There is cause and effect and its implications to serve self-destroy lives. Especially when finances are at the top of personal gain

We are in a 9 year. It is a year of completion and transformation. It is also the year of reckoning. Last year being an 8 year we saw the karmic forces come to the surface. It was the choosing to soothe, deflect, and ignore all behaviors set forth that started in 2011. Below I am going to compile a list of the socio-economics and its impact on life that started with the crash in 2008. Again I am not the sharpest tool in the math dept and only you the reader can decipher, where you were and how this year was the beginning of the end...( I am convinced this started on purpose and it was the workings of global elites who set out to impoverish families.)

The economic crash of 2009, primarily triggered by the 2008 global financial crisis, had widespread economic and social impacts, reshaping lives across the globe. Here's an overview of its economic effects, the social experiment it initiated, the disruption it caused, and the parties deemed responsible:

Economic Impact

Unemployment Surge:

The U.S. unemployment rate peaked at 10% in October 2009.
Millions of jobs were lost globally, especially in construction, manufacturing, and finance.

Foreclosures and Housing Crisis:

The collapse of the housing bubble led to massive foreclosures.
Home values plummeted, erasing trillions of dollars in household wealth.

Bank Failures and Bailouts:

Major financial institutions like Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Governments spent billions on bank bailouts to stabilize the economy (e.g., TARP in the U.S.).

Decline in Global Trade:

World trade contracted by 12% in 2009.
Many countries, especially export-dependent economies, faced recessions.

Fiscal Austerity:

In Europe, countries like Greece implemented harsh austerity measures, sparking widespread protests.

Social Experiment

The crisis unintentionally served as a large-scale social experiment in:

Income Inequality:

The wealth gap widened, with the recovery disproportionately benefiting the wealthy.
"Occupy Wall Street" and other movements highlighted the divide between the "1%" and "99%."

Housing and Homelessness:

Millions were displaced, leading to community fragmentation.
Many turned to alternative living arrangements (multi-generational households, downsizing).

Financial Literacy and Distrust:

Public skepticism of banks and financial institutions surged.
A rise in financial literacy programs and advocacy for tighter regulations.

Social Safety Nets:

The crisis tested welfare systems, unemployment benefits, and food assistance programs.
Governments experimented with stimulus packages and quantitative easing.

Disruption of Lives

Economic:

Families lost savings, homes, and access to credit.
Small businesses faced closures, further increasing unemployment.

Psychological:

Stress, anxiety, and depression rates soared.
"Recession trauma" shaped the economic behaviors of younger generations (e.g., Millennials).

Educational:

Rising tuition costs and shrinking job markets left many young graduates in debt without employment prospects.

Societal:

Trust in institutions (government, banks, and corporations) eroded.
Political polarization increased, with movements on both the left and right gaining traction.

Who Was to Blame?

Financial Institutions:

Banks engaged in reckless lending practices, offering subprime mortgages to unqualified borrowers.
Derivative products like mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) amplified risk.

Government and Regulators:

Lax regulation allowed speculative practices to flourish.
Failure to foresee and address the growing housing bubble.

Credit Rating Agencies:

Misrated toxic financial products, contributing to investor overconfidence.

Consumers:

Some argue borrowers took on mortgages and debt they couldn’t afford.

Economic Philosophies:

Excessive reliance on free-market ideologies and deregulation (e.g., repeal of Glass-Steagall Act in 1999).

The 2009 crisis reshaped how economies, governments, and individuals approached financial risk, inequality, and regulation, leaving a legacy of caution and reform.

The economic crash of 2008-2009 continued to have profound ripple effects in 2011, shaping the global economy, political landscape, and social dynamics. Here's how 2011 was impacted:

Economic Impact in 2011

Sluggish Recovery:

Global economic growth was uneven, with advanced economies struggling to recover.
Unemployment rates in the U.S. remained high (9% in 2011), and job creation was slow.

Eurozone Debt Crisis:

The sovereign debt crisis in Europe worsened, with countries like Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and Italy facing financial turmoil.
The European Union and IMF implemented bailout packages, coupled with strict austerity measures.

U.S. Debt Ceiling Crisis:

Political gridlock over raising the debt ceiling led to fears of a U.S. default.
Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the U.S. credit rating from AAA to AA+, marking a historic first.

Occupy Wall Street Movement:

The growing wealth gap and frustration over corporate greed and economic inequality culminated in the Occupy Wall Street protests, beginning in September 2011.
The movement's slogan, "We are the 99%," highlighted resentment toward the financial elite and the perceived lack of accountability for the crash.

Market Volatility:

Stock markets experienced significant turbulence, with investors reacting to ongoing crises in the Eurozone and U.S. fiscal uncertainty.

Housing Market Stagnation:

U.S. housing markets remained sluggish, with many homeowners underwater on their mortgages.

Social and Political Impact in 2011

Rise of Populism:

Economic frustrations fueled the rise of populist movements on both the left and right.
In Europe, far-right parties gained momentum, while anti-austerity protests became widespread.

Youth Unemployment and Social Unrest:

Global youth unemployment soared, contributing to protests and discontent.
In countries like Spain, the Indignados movement voiced concerns about unemployment, austerity, and corruption.

Arab Spring:

Economic inequality and youth unemployment were key drivers of the Arab Spring, which began in late 2010 and peaked in 2011.
Protests led to regime changes in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya, but also political instability and conflict.

Shifting Public Priorities:

Governments and citizens increasingly demanded reforms in banking, taxation, and corporate practices.
The crisis accelerated conversations about wealth redistribution, the role of government in the economy, and financial regulation.

Long-Term Structural Changes Taking Shape in 2011

Tightened Financial Regulations:

Implementation of reforms like the Dodd-Frank Act in the U.S. and Basel III globally aimed to reduce systemic risk in banking.

Technology-Driven Change:

Economic challenges spurred innovation in sectors like tech and fintech.
More people began exploring gig work and entrepreneurial ventures due to job scarcity.

Economic Divergence:

Emerging markets, especially in Asia, recovered faster than advanced economies.
This marked a shift in global economic power toward countries like China and India.

Psychological Legacy:

Consumers remained cautious, with higher savings rates and lower household debt.
Younger generations, particularly Millennials, shaped their financial habits around the lessons of the crash.

The aftermath of the crash, felt strongly in 2011, highlighted the fragility of the global economy, the consequences of inequality, and the importance of proactive governance. While some progress was made, lingering issues from the crash continued to fuel economic and social challenges worldwide.

The economic crash of 2008-2009, and its lingering effects in the years that followed (including 2011), deeply impacted families and relationships. Financial instability, stress, and shifting dynamics caused by the crisis put significant strain on households and social structures. Here’s how:

Economic Strain on Families

Job Losses and Financial Pressure:

Unemployment and underemployment forced families to cut back on spending, sometimes leading to housing instability and loss of savings.
Parents faced difficulty providing for basic needs, causing tension within households.

Increased Debt and Bankruptcy:

Many families turned to credit cards or loans to make ends meet, leading to debt spirals.
Bankruptcies and foreclosures disrupted family stability and forced relocations, uprooting children from schools and communities.

Delayed Milestones:

Younger adults postponed marriage, having children, or purchasing homes due to financial uncertainty.
Parents delayed retirement, affecting generational roles and responsibilities.

Psychological and Emotional Stress

Increased Conflict and Divorce:

Financial stress is a leading cause of marital discord, and the economic crash exacerbated this.
Divorce rates initially declined (due to the high cost of separation) but eventually rose as financial recovery began.

Mental Health Challenges:

Anxiety, depression, and feelings of failure were common as families struggled to cope with financial setbacks.
The stigma of job loss or foreclosure strained personal and family relationships.

Parent-Child Dynamics:

Parents felt guilt and shame about financial difficulties, which sometimes led to overcompensating or emotional withdrawal.
Older children were forced to take on adult responsibilities, like contributing to household income.

Changing Family Living Arrangements

Multi-Generational Households:

Adult children moved back in with their parents ("boomerang kids") due to unemployment or housing costs.
Elderly family members moved in with younger relatives to save on expenses, creating new dynamics in caregiving and shared living.

Loss of Independence:

Families downsized or moved to cheaper areas, leading to feelings of loss and resentment.
Some individuals felt a diminished sense of autonomy due to reliance on extended family.

Social Connections and Support Networks

Strain on Friendships:

Financial hardships led to reduced socializing and participation in community activities, isolating many families.
Differences in financial recovery created rifts between friends or relatives who were perceived as more or less fortunate.

Increased Community Support:

Some families turned to local organizations, religious groups, or mutual aid networks for help.
The crisis fostered solidarity in some communities, encouraging resource sharing and collective action.

Resilience and Adaptation

Strengthened Bonds:

Families that weathered the storm together often emerged with stronger relationships and a renewed appreciation for non-material aspects of life.
Couples and families who communicated openly about their challenges were better able to navigate the crisis.

New Skills and Values:

Many families developed budgeting skills, prioritized frugality, and adopted minimalist lifestyles.
The crisis spurred discussions about the importance of savings, emergency funds, and financial planning.

Generational Impact

Impact on Children and Teens:

Children absorbed their parents' stress, leading to anxiety or academic struggles.
Teens took on part-time work or adjusted their college aspirations based on family finances.

Impact on Young Adults:

Millennials, in particular, faced delayed independence, student debt, and limited job prospects, shaping their relationship choices and long-term life goals.

Impact on Older Generations:

Baby Boomers delayed retirement and reentered the workforce, creating intergenerational competition for jobs.
Elderly parents leaned on adult children for financial or caregiving support.

The economic crash left a lasting imprint on family structures, roles, and dynamics. While some families experienced irreparable strain, others adapted and became more resilient, learning to navigate the challenges of a changing economic landscape together.

The year 2011, in numerology, is considered a Universal Year 1, marking the beginning of a new 9-year cycle. This energy often brings fresh starts, innovation, and transformation but can also demand significant upheaval and adjustment to lay the groundwork for the future. In the context of 2011, this numerological interpretation resonates with global trends and challenges, particularly the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis.

Numerology of a Universal Year 1

New Beginnings:

Year 1 symbolizes opportunities to reset, innovate, and rebuild after periods of stagnation or collapse.
On a societal level, it was a time for governments, economies, and individuals to redefine priorities and strategies post-crisis.

Self-Reliance and Individualism:

A Year 1 emphasizes independence and personal empowerment. For many, this meant finding creative ways to recover financially or pivot careers.
Globally, nations grappled with balancing individual interests versus collective needs (e.g., austerity measures, populist movements).

Challenges of Starting Over:

While Year 1 encourages fresh starts, the process can feel chaotic and overwhelming, especially after prolonged difficulty.
The lingering effects of the crash made 2011 a year of tentative rebuilding amid fears of further instability.

2011's Global Context: Signs of a "Devastating Outcome"

While a Universal Year 1 typically signifies hope and rebuilding, the events of 2011 reflected underlying tensions and unresolved crises that hinted at potential long-term devastation:

Economic Fragility:

The Eurozone debt crisis threatened the stability of the global economy, with Greece and other nations teetering on the brink of default.
The U.S. debt ceiling crisis and credit downgrade exposed political dysfunction and fiscal vulnerability.

Wealth Inequality and Public Discontent:

Movements like Occupy Wall Street highlighted deep societal fractures, warning of growing resentment toward elites and systemic inequality.
These divisions sowed the seeds for future political and social upheavals.

Climate and Environmental Warning Signs:

Natural disasters, including the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, which caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster, underscored humanity's vulnerability to environmental crises.
The global response to such events revealed the limits of coordination and preparedness.

Geopolitical Tensions:

The Arab Spring demonstrated both the power of grassroots movements and the risks of destabilization, as some uprisings led to prolonged conflict and humanitarian crises.
Political instability in the Middle East and North Africa foreshadowed challenges that would reverberate for years.

Psychological and Social Consequences:

The persistent trauma of the economic crash left individuals and families hesitant to trust institutions, invest in long-term goals, or feel secure in their futures.

Projection of a "Devastating Outcome"

The numerological promise of renewal in 2011 came with the warning that unresolved systemic issues could lead to deeper crises if not addressed. Events and trends in 2011 projected potential for:

Economic Collapse:

If austerity measures and bailouts failed, the Eurozone and global economy could have faced a second financial crisis.

Social Fragmentation:

Widening inequality and mistrust in institutions hinted at future polarization and unrest.

Environmental Catastrophe:

The growing frequency of climate-related disasters and inadequate global response set the stage for worsening climate crises.

Geopolitical Conflict:

The political and economic instability observed in 2011 foreshadowed future wars, migrations, and humanitarian challenges.

Hope in Year 1’s Energy

While a Year 1 can feel tumultuous, its ultimate purpose is to clear away old systems and beliefs that no longer serve the collective. The upheavals of 2011, while daunting, also contained the seeds of change:

Social Movements laid the foundation for future advocacy for equality and systemic reform.
Technological Innovation driven by necessity (e.g., new energy solutions, economic tools) promised long-term benefits.
Global Collaboration began to emerge in areas like climate change and financial regulation, though unevenly.

In essence, 2011 reflected the dual nature of a Universal Year 1: the challenges of starting over and the potential for renewal if humanity could rise to the occasion. The devastating outcomes projected were warnings of what could happen if lessons from the past were ignored.

In 2011, the lingering effects of the 2008-2009 economic crash led to a significant increase in the number of people relying on government assistance programs in the United States. Here's an overview of the ratio and scale of need during that time:

Key Statistics on Government Assistance in 2011

Food Assistance (SNAP):

46.2 million people (about 1 in 7 Americans) were enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as food stamps).
This was a record high at the time, reflecting both increased unemployment and underemployment.

Unemployment Benefits:

At the peak of unemployment (2009-2010), millions relied on unemployment insurance, and many continued to do so in 2011.
By mid-2011, approximately 14 million people were unemployed, and many received benefits through extended federal programs.

Medicaid Enrollment:

Medicaid enrollment surged to over 70 million people, driven by job losses and reduced income qualifying more families for the program.

Housing Assistance:

4.8 million households received federal rental assistance, including housing vouchers and public housing, to offset the effects of the housing crisis.
Foreclosures left many families homeless or in need of temporary shelter.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF):

About 4.5 million people, primarily low-income families with children, received cash benefits through TANF.
However, TANF participation rates were low compared to the growing number of families in poverty.

Ratio of People Needing Assistance

Population in Poverty:

In 2011, the U.S. poverty rate was 15%, or 46.2 million people, the highest level since 1993.
This means roughly 1 in 6 Americans lived below the federal poverty line.

Government Assistance Recipients:

An estimated 1 in 4 Americans (25%) relied on some form of government assistance, whether through food aid, unemployment benefits, housing subsidies, or Medicaid.

Comparative Increase:

Before the crisis, SNAP participation was around 26 million in 2007, highlighting nearly a 77% increase by 2011.
Medicaid saw a similar expansion, with millions more qualifying due to income reductions.

Contributing Factors

Unemployment and Underemployment:

While unemployment rates began declining in 2011, many jobs lost during the recession were permanent, and newly created jobs often paid less.

Housing Crisis Fallout:

Millions of homeowners who lost properties joined the ranks of the low-income or homeless population.

Cost of Living vs. Wages:

Even as the economy showed signs of recovery, wage growth lagged, pushing many working families into reliance on programs like SNAP and Medicaid.

Long-Term Implications

The increased reliance on government assistance in 2011 highlighted structural weaknesses in the economy, such as income inequality, stagnant wages, and a lack of affordable housing. While safety nets provided critical support, the strain on public resources underscored the need for systemic reform to address poverty and economic resilience.

While my research has been fact-checked by Wall Street moguls; imagine being blamed for things out of everyone's control and on constant speaker, "You just want someone to take care of you". (This pretty much sums up what projection looks like) #humanconditioning #shiftblame someone else not to take responsibility for self.

You ask, why is this so important now? It's the repetition of cycles. It is behavior seen before and its patterns that have not varied from the cause and the effect. In my Life coaching class when I am speaking on financial responsibilities and the lies we are made to believe because it does not benefit someone else's existence. Loudly I reiterate; A person can only do what a person knows how to do but when there are outside interferences that disrupt life as we know it... An accountable adult not looking to take from anyone understands the conditions they are working with being able to provide with the tools they have at hand. To manipulate the way money comes in and out; needing control, shift blaming for lack of is an ignorance most are not willing to admit to. It's the con man needing to find security in the midst of having nothing to begin with.

You cannot convince me that the snowball effect from 2011 being a 1 year (the beginning of the end) wasn't orchestrated by a higher hierarchy set out to rob, steal, and deplete causing havoc on all personal levels of our lives!

This is a 9 year... a completion, a closing... a reckoning of. Next year 2026, is a one year. It starts all over. History repeats itself. Be careful at what gains you are looking to receive, attain and hold on to! Personal security and its value come with big lessons many still need to learn!
