English term or phrase: at the end of the day
This fillers is becoming increasingly popular & can be heard or used many times a day. If it means anything, it emphasises the importance of what directly follows in the sentence.
A typical use might be:
“To be honest, at the end of the day you are literally going get into trouble, seriously. I mean, you better be careful, if you know what I mean. I am just saying.”
I defy any of you to put the into similar Turkish 'crutch words' or fillers!
On its own, 'at the end of the day' is a filler, used in contexts before you say what you believe to be the most important fact of a situation:-
"OK, we didn't play with a full team but, at the end of the day, we just didn't play well enough to win the game."
"At the end of the day, all that matters is you're safe."
"We had loads of applicants for the job, but, at the end of the day, none were any good".
What is the equals common Turkish equivalent?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Before I award the points (& yours was the fullest answer) how would you translate "We had loads of applicants for the job, but, at the end of the day, none were any good". Your other translations were really helpful!
