Join Arsenal Financial advisors Doug Orifice and Jeremy Vaille as they open up their relaxed office conversations about various financial topics for everybody to hear. Today's episode is a reality check for uncertain times where everybody seems stressed about the future. They dig into the reality of:

• Gross domestic product, unemployment rate, wage growth, consumer price index. Where these numbers sit now, where they've been historically, and what it says about the current economic landscape.
• The reality of the broken math of our US system and how it's unlikely to change.
• Social security. Is it going away?
• How the US economy is the world's cleanest dirty shirt.
• The current reality of inflation and the cost of lettuce in Toledo.
• Taking an optimistic look and seeing everything the economy has survived in the past!
• Then finish up with what's new in Hanover and Watertown and of course some dad jokes from Jeremy. (Doug even gets one right!)
