Big news—The Sin of Retirement is now live! You can now purchase the softcover or ebook through our website: www.sinofretirement.com. This book has been a long time in the making, and it’s rooted in a simple truth: there is a greater purpose than leisure in retirement.

Fed Meeting Recap Last week’s Fed meeting held no surprises—Chairman Powell kept rates unchanged. That said, I still believe we’ll see three rate cuts before the end of the year.

To Powell’s credit, the data he had was questionable. The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised previous jobless claims and economic data, which changed the outlook considerably. The updated numbers show a weakening economy, declining inflation, and falling energy costs. And as I always say—everything starts with energy prices.

The Fed, as usual, is late to the game.
