If we learned anything, it's that unexpected things can happen.
The problems are clear: - The U.S. dollar continues to buy less. - The U.S. dollar is being challenged globally. - Rising prices are throwing off household budgets. - IRAs and 401(k)s lost almost as much value in 2022 as in the financial crisis, but no one’s talking about it.
