Our economy has had a large number of expansions and contractions. With that being the case, we still put way more weight on the contractions than we do the expansions. This is simply not logical. We think that the idea of a recession is the worst thing ever, but when you realize that there have been over 30 since 1850, in the United States, you find that our economy does not just grow consistently. From time to time, we contract a bit, but our economy has been quite resilient to previous downturns. Today, we will discuss:

1. How to define a recession

2. Expansions in the United States

3. Recession indicators

4. U.S. recessions since 1929

It is important that when we go through something negative financially that we learn something. Seeing as how we all went through the financial crisis of 2007-2009, though many of us were young when it occurred, we know what a financial crash can do to an economy. I want to help you learn a thing or two about the greatest financial catastrophe of our generation and ways in which we can brace ourselves for the next of these unfortunate systemic events. Today, we will discuss:

1. What the Great Recession is

2. What occurred in/caused the Great Recession

3. Lessons we can learn from the Great Recession

We have to be investing. Period. When we invest, we hear a lot of things about bulls, bears, ups, downs, and everything in between. It is important to understand what terms like ”bear market” and ”bull market” mean. When we can better understand what these types of markets are and how these markets have played out throughout history, we can be better and more informed investors. Understanding how the market has worked in the past will undoubtedly turn into better long-term investment returns. Anything we do without understanding will be done without us doing it at our best. That’s not where we want to be. Let’s learn to ride the bulls and forget the bears. We will discuss:

1. What bear markets and bull markets are

2. What drives bear and bull markets on

3. What history says about bear markets and bull markets

4. How we can profit from investing in all markets

We covered not putting all your eggs in one basket with diversification, but today we will talk about its counterpart asset allocation. You may have heard the term “asset allocation” before, but today we are going to dig into what it means and why it is important. I may fall into an unpopular group when it comes to this subject, but we will talk about all that I know about asset allocation and the potential pros and cons in today’s episode. We will discuss:

1. The differences in diversification and asset allocation

2. Asset Allocation in your investments

3. Biblical Asset Allocation

4. The Dark Side of Asset Allocation

What is every investor looking for? The most return for the least amount of risk, as long as you are risk-averse at some level (most of us are). It is difficult, though, to decrease risk to the point where you are still making competitive returns, because, generally, more risk means more return, not the other way around. The All-Weather Portfolio provides a potential solution to the risk-return dilemma and provides good returns with minimal downside. Today, we will discuss:

1. Who Ray Dalio is

2. What the All-Weather Portfolio is

3. The risk-return characteristics of the All-Weather Portfolio

There are many rumblings in our economy today, many of which come with some negative consequences if they play out as people are predicting. One such economic outcome that can be extremely scary is stagflation. This is not something that we commonly endure, but an economy with high unemployment and high inflation sounds like a combination that will end in disaster.

Anyone who has invested for any significant period of time can vouch for the fact that investing is most difficult when things are going bad (i.e. corrections, bear markets, etc.). The key is learning to navigate these situations and risks while not getting spooked out of the market and out of prudent investing. I want to convey to you how important it is to have a proper investment strategy and stick to that strategy through the good times and the bad. TIME IN the market is more valuable than the attempt at TIMING the market.

Sometimes it is hard to understand why certain things are occurring economically, and it is especially difficult to know why your mortgage rates is what it is, your savings account is paying you so little, and your bond investments decreased in value. This can all be attributed, in large part, to increases in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve. This increase of the base interest rate has a real impact on your finances and your life, and I use this episode to explain those impacts and why you may want to put some attention on the Fed’s actions.

People LOVE getting money that they didn’t know that they were getting. Everyone went crazy about stimulus checks and advance child tax credit payments, but people go even crazier about getting money that was actually theirs in the first place: the tax refund. All a tax refund means is that you overpaid taxes to the government and essentially lent them money interest-free for the year. This should NOT occur and it is up to us to stop it and put more money in our pockets each check.

Many of us have the ease and luxury of being offered a 401(k), 403(b), or some other type of investment account through our employer. The self-employed among us, though, have to make investing a priority in their life without a corporation making it easy to defer some of their income to the future. This is where this episode is useful: among those who have no other employer-sponsored options in which to invest and those who bring home self-employed (or 1099) income instead of a W-2. Some of these options work for all people, but some are only for the self-employed among us.
