📰 On this week's episode of Minds Over Money, I go over 3 headlines from last week that directly impact the economy as well as potentially impacting your own investment portfolio. [13:15] And this week’s financial planning topic is - Resolutions for the New Year, how to set yourself up for success in 2022? ✔️

📦 [0:49] The first headline, “Can Paper Replace Plastic?”, is an article that explores how a packaging giant is betting big on paper packaging replacing plastic as a greener alternative even if it costs the end customer a little more money.

🤯 [6:00] The second headline, “Headaches and Backlogs Loom as Tax Filing Season Nears”, discusses how the current backlogs and potential for retroactive tax legislation are going to make this year’s tax season complex and ripe for filing delays.

🏭 [9:36] Our final headline, “US and European Factories See Easing Supply Strains but Omicron Threatens Fresh Setbacks”, is a deep dive into the easing of supply strains that came with the last few months of 2021 and the hopeful continuation of that trend despite the threat of the Omicron variant of Covid-19.
