How do you spend money late game?

[DarkBlue]

Money is too abundent as of 1.9. For example, automobiles are so productive that Combustion Engine & Compression Ignition are 2 major power spikes for me economically. Once you have late game production techs and some good companies, the coffers can be always full.

There will be a point where more constructions don't bring any value and bigger military is unnecessary. At some point even lowest tax & highest wages would net you a positive balance. In that case what do you do with all the money? Take on loans for your allies? "Foreign aid"? Invest in China?

Boats and guns.

I've heard of people subsidizing everything and that causing an infinite money glitch somehow

 

[kingsword]

I pay everyone's debts.

 

[Pendables]

I try to max out workers' protections and old age pension without crashing my economy, I haven't succeeded yet

Investment abroad is about the only way to make use of endgame construction (assuming you're out of pops and have lots of open jobs). China would be good, as you mention, since they have a huge amount of people to work your investments.

Welfare, Warfare, Invest in China.

I mean... have you ever mobilized a late-game, high-tech army with all mobilisation options?

Always. In fact I always turn on very high military wage all the time in late game. It is never enough to spend all my money...

But does that boost your GDP?

But does that boost your GDP?

If it's your private economy that's building, then yeah sort of. That creates more Capitalist jobs (via Financial Districts) and those Capitalists earn more dividends (thus earn more money, thus higher SoL, thus buy more stuff from your economy)

 

[Dman1791]

But does that boost your GDP?

Not directly, since the production (GDP creation) is happening elsewhere. But the capitalists in your country are earning the dividends, which is great for SOL and thus stimulating demand.
