If we learned anything, it’s that unexpected things can happen.
The problems are clear: – The U.S. dollar continues to buy less. – The U.S. dollar is being challenged globally. – Rising prices are throwing off household budgets. – IRAs and 401(k)s lost almost as much value in 2022 as in the financial crisis, but no one’s talking about it.
No one can predict what will happen next, so being prepared matters.
