Interest Rates and Central Banks

Confused by soaring interest rates, runaway inflation, and all the noise about the money printer? In this episode of Toasterbotnet, we unpack what the Federal Reserve (Fed) and European Central Bank (ECB) are really doing with monetary policy. From years of quantitative easing (QE) to today’s shift into quantitative tightening (QT).

  • How central banks set the federal funds rate / Leitzins and why it moves markets
  • The link between QE, money supply, and bear markets
  • Why higher rates hit stocks, bonds, mortgages, and national debt differently
  • Smart investor moves in a potential recession (think long-term, dollar-cost averaging)

Whether you’re a beginner or market veteran, you’ll leave with a clearer view of where the global economy stands and what it means for your portfolio.

Living Paperless

Tired of drowning in paperwork? In this episode I tear up my last sheet of paper and dive into paperless living. Talking about how to scan, OCR, tag, back-up and shred your way to a clutter-free life. I walk through my real-world workflow: using a phone scanner or dedicated document scanner, saving everything as searchable PDFs, storing it on a NAS or cloud storage, and protecting it with the 3-2-1 backup rule (three copies, two media types, one off-site).

Whether you’re into minimalism, productivity hacks, digital organization, or just want to future-proof your records against fire, theft or a zombie apocalypse, this video has you covered. Plus, I show the handy mail-scan service that stops new paper at the door. Put in the effort once and reap time savings forever.

Opportunity 2022

2022’s market meltdown isn’t just doomscroll fodder. it’s a once-in-a-generation buying window. Yes, we’re knee-deep in recession talk and headlines scream “crash,” but history shows broad equities rebound ~7–8 % a year over the long haul. For anyone with a 10- to 20-year horizon, “buy the dip” isn’t a meme; it’s math. Dollar-cost average into diversified index funds (think MSCI World or S&P 500) or undervalued blue-chips, keep adding whether prices sink or surge, and let compound growth do the dirty work. Cash rots under inflation; equities eventually recover. No crystal ball, no perfect bottom… just steady, systematic buying. Control your emotions, ignore the noise, and future-you will thank present-you. Not financial advice! Just one idiot stacking shares.
