It’s Sunday, which means...it’s recap time here on the Retirement Quick Tips Podcast

This week the theme was: my 2023 outlook for the economy and markets 

In case you missed any episodes, here’s what we discussed this week…

• 2022 Recap
• 2023 Outlook for the economy, stocks, and bonds
• And investment opportunities for 2023

To summarize this week…Stocks and bonds had their worst year in over a half century. I believe a recession is likely in the first half of 2023. The Fed will likely determine whether we have a mild or deep recession, depending upon the extent to which they tighten and continue raising interest rates. Investors with cash to invest should consider rising dividend companies & short-term bonds, both of which look attractive at this time. 

Tomorrow I’m starting a brand new weekly theme: Financial Resolutions for the New Year

January is just about over, so statically, about ⅔ of you who have made resolutions are still sticking with them. 

Financial resolutions rank just below health resolutions, so whether or not you have a specific resolution or goal for 2023 related to your finances, it’s worth having something to aim for with your finances. 

So next week, I’ll share with you some common financial resolutions, including listener submissions of your own goals and resolutions for the new year, and provide insight and suggestions for how you can make progress and achieve your financial goals in 2023. 

Thank you so much for listening this week!
