Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. Jeff and Jake eventually got around to filling us in on this week's less than favorable market changes. Then went on tell us about the Fed's rate decisions for this week and likely, the near future. After listening to lots of abbreviations, I started to wonder if maybe they should just start recording the entire podcast using the first letter of every word they wanted to use. It would still make about as much sense to me as it does now. Politically, a lot is happening right now and as you might be able to guess, Jeff and Jake go into it. House Bill 82 was an interesting topic. Does the windfall elimination provision or government pension offset affect you? Lastly, but not least, things to look out for and prepare to read some fine print.

Welcome to another exciting episode of The Personal Wealth Coach Podcast with your hosts, Jeff and Jake McClure. This week, Jake has a few explanations to throw into the weekly market update, containing this week's S&P 500, CRSP Mid Cap Value, debt markets and crude oil movement. Jake goes on to say that higher inflation is up. Well darn. But why? Then, to pile on the not so good news, oil prices are up. My pocketbook just can't catch a break..... Jake's first big topic is on the pattern of income during different times of economic fluctuations, comparing lower income and higher income folks. Next, Jake heads across the ocean to the other side of the world. Germany, Russia, Chana, etc. aren't doing great, to say the least. What are the future tariffs that are, as Jake put it, very very very very very very........ likely to happen, going to do to those parts of the world that rely on exports to the U.S.? If you thought the bitcoin conversation from last week was over, you're very wrong. Jake received some feedback that he responds to. Bringing up those tulips again....
