In this episode of A Penny or Two for Your Thoughts, hosts Chantel Windeshausen and Liz Malmberg sit down with Dr. Jennifer A. Davidson—Associate Professor of Practice in Economics at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and President of the Nebraska Council on Economic Education—to unpack the current economic landscape. Dr. Davidson describes the 2025 economy as “depressing,” citing declining GDP, volatile markets, and wavering consumer confidence. Despite the gloom, she offers practical advice on budgeting, saving, and maintaining mental wellness during uncertain times. From grocery hacks and subscription cuts to the “barbell approach” of balancing optimism with preparation, this episode delivers actionable insights for anyone navigating financial stress.
