Good MONDAY morning, Just a few months ago, almost everyone was asking the same question: "When will the Federal Reserve cut interest rates?" Now the conversation is different. People are asking: "Could the Fed actually raise interest rates again?" That's a BIG shift. But here's what I'm not doing... I'm not changing my financial plan. I've learned that the people who build lasting wealth usually aren't the ones who make the best economic predictions. They're the ones who continue making good...

Good MONDAY morning, This week, we'll get several important economic reports, including inflation, GDP, and housing data. The financial media will spend the week trying to predict what it all means. But here's the question I think matters more: Does any of it change your financial plan? For me, the answer is almost always no. When I was 30 years old, I had a negative $30,000 net worth. My biggest problem wasn't inflation. It wasn't interest rates. It wasn't Washington or the President. It was...

Good morning, The economy is sending mixed signals right now. Jobs are strong. Inflation remains stubborn. Interest rates are still elevated. The stock market moves up one day and down the next. And for many people, all of it feels confusing. That's exactly why I believe your financial future cannot depend on what the economy does next. It has to depend on having a plan. In this week's video, I explain why a strong jobs report actually caused the stock market to fall last Friday. 👉 Watch this...
