I believe that educated investors = successful investors. The goal of this podcast is to help to educate as many individuals as possible on markets, the economy, and financial planning topics.  The Fed now sees growth slower, unemployment rising faster, and inflation running slightly higher through the remainder of 2022 and throughout 2023. This forces the Fed to make a choice, do they focus on supporting the weakening economic outlook, or prioritize the fight against inflation that stands at levels last seen nearly 40 years ago?
