The Higher Standard

Updated Industry Metrics, Leaders Will Rise and We Appreciate You


Listen Later

According to a report from CNN Business, the nation’s total public debt outstanding closed at $31.1 trillion on Monday, according to Treasury Department data published Tuesday. This particular milestone comes at a time of historically high inflation, rising interest rates and growing economic uncertainty. Incredibly, outstanding debt has climbed nearly $8 trillion since the beginning of 2020, and it's increased by $1 trillion since February of 2022.

In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied take a deeper look into this news and the reasons behind it (looking at you, Inflation Reduction Act).


They discuss the reasons why you shouldn’t buy real estate in some major markets unless you see a 10% drop in value from where you were.


Chris and Saied look at the issue of real estate numbers, such as home values, mortgage application volume, etc. and why the amount of interpretation involved means that the trends become more important than the specific numbers.


They also discuss an article stating that a recent report from KPMG shows that over 50% of American CEOs are considering workforce reductions over the next six months, possibly as a response to the increase of remote workers during the pandemic.


Join Chris and Saied for this fascinating conversation.


Enjoy!
