4 Ways Middle-Class Earners Are Protecting Their Money in Today’s Uncertain Economy
Laura Bogart Sun, November 9, 2025 GOBankingRates
When it comes to the global economy these days, you should expect the unexpected. Stock markets are behaving like roller coasters, prices of everyday goods continue to rise, and the job market remains unpredictable. Middle-class earners are feeling the strain. Protecting their money — and their peace of mind — in such uncertainty is a daunting task. Fortunately, safeguarding their hard-earned savings may be easier than they think.
According to Jayant Mistry, CFA, senior vice president, CFO and treasurer of consumer banking at Synchrony, there are some simple yet effective steps middle-class earners can take to ensure that the ups and downs of the broader economy don’t send their personal finances into a spiral.
He shared some of these tips with GOBankingRates as part of our Top 100 Money Experts series.
Plan for a Rainy Day
While you’d like to believe your life will be nothing but sunshine, rainy days — like a job loss, car troubles, health issues or home repairs — will inevitably roll in. Mistry says middle-class earners can protect themselves from getting wet by setting up an emergency fund.
In addition to saving for major life goals, he encourages people to set aside money that can insulate them from financial surprises.
“I think being financially secure is about planning not just for large events, but also rainy days,” he said. “We all have so much going on in our lives, so having tomorrow or someday funds around allows people to feel more secure and have flexibility when difficult life events occur.”
Set Up a System To Pay Yourself First
Though you might want to dive straight into investments or complex money management strategies, Mistry says you’re better off starting slow and simple. He recommends setting up three different bank accounts: one for required expenses, one for wants (such as a money market account) and one for emergencies (ideally a high-yield savings account).
Once you’ve set up your accounts, Mistry wants you to establish a system that lets you “pay yourself first” — or add to your savings — automatically.

RV Excerpts from the Restored Republic via a GCR: Update as of Mon. 10 Nov. 2025
Compiled Mon. 10 Nov. 2025 12:01 am EST by Judy Byington
This Global Currency Reset (GCR) to gold/asset-backed currencies of 209 countries and activation of the Quantum Financial System (QFS) was here and has been a long time coming.
Countries of the World had to be at peace in order to participate in the new gold/asset-backed Global Financial System – that took away monies and power from the Global Elites.
Trump had (allegedly) accomplished that and now has flipped the switch.
Mon. 10 Nov. 2025 appeared to be an important day for EBS Activation, establishment of the Restored Republic, release of the Quantum Financial System and Global Currency Reset.
Whispers abound that Ten Days of Communication Darkness will begin on Mon. 10 Nov. 2025.
If that happens, then on the next day of Tues. 11 Nov. 2025 Veterans Day or soon thereafter, Tier4b (us, the Internet Group who hold foreign currencies and Zim Bonds) could expected to be notified to set redemption appointments.
Activation of the QFS will (allegedly) abolish the IRS and erase Global debt slavery throughout the World. You can’t owe money to the thieves who have stolen it from you. By January 2026 the Deepstate Cabal Central Banks will collapse, and be replaced by decentralized asset-backed digital currencies of the GCR.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Judy Note: It is my personal opinion, and I could easily be wrong, that when we hear the EBS go off with the sound of Seven Trumpets, we can soon expect to receive several messages on our cell phones generated from the new Starlink Satellite System. One of those messages should contain information about how to gain a redemption center appointment. Those who don’t have foreign currency to exchange will use their appointment to set themselves up for banking, med bed treatment and voting using personal cell phones linked up to the Starlink Satellite System, while we with currency and bonds will do the same, plus be able to do our exchange.

Frank26 [Iraq boots-on-the-ground report] FIREFLY: Sudani didn't say anything yet official but they sure are talking about the rate. They first talked to us about lifting of the three zeros, now they're talking about the rate itself and the opportunities that we have with this new exchange rate to give us purchasing power.
Frank26 They are using the history of the Kuwait revaluation from the 1990's. They don't want to repeat a Kuwait syndrome. They don't want Iraq to make the same mistake and come out like gang busters with a high rate like Kuwait did because it affected Kuwait's inflationary factors, their GDP, their jobs, let alone the confidence that was being established in their new rate and their banks. Talk about a shock. The release of their exchange rate was too high and it was undisciplined. It was not controlled. It was not managed. [Iraq's] reinstatement learned from Kuwait's mistakes...
Mnt Goat ...remember that when I use the term “RV” I am referring to the process. The process is to remove the zeros, watch for inflation and then move to FOREX at the nominal rate reflecting the true dinar rate based on asset evaluation and their economic growth. I feel with where they are right now they should have already gone to FOREX. But they have not because of all the corruption. By taking the time to clean most of it up and then to progress their economy into a diversified economy, they will be able to support an even higher rate for us...By waiting it only serves us investors too.
Latest News from Iraq- Mandatory Silence Before the Election
Edu Matrix: 11-10-2025
Latest News from Iraq- Mandatory Silence Before the Election Iraq is now officially in a mandatory election silence period beginning Saturday ahead of the Nov. 11 parliamentary elections.
The Iraqi Independent High Electoral Commission informed "alliances, parties, and candidates" that the silence period requires a halt to "any activity aimed at promoting a candidate or party to win voter support."
The reason all of this is so important is that Iraq's last parliamentary election in 2021 caused violent clashes in Baghdad and led to nearly a year of political deadlock before a government was formed.

He continued: “At this crucial moment, we affirm that our national duty compels us to ensure a safe and stable electoral environment, and to protect the electoral process from any breach or influence, because the security and stability achieved today is the fruit of your awareness, discipline, and sacrifices, which has made our forces an exemplary model .”
He added: “Let us be worthy of the trust that our people have given us, and let us make election day a day that expresses the awareness of our security personnel and their loyalty to their homeland, and let us make these elections a model to be emulated in discipline, commitment, awareness, and defending the right of citizens to exercise their constitutional entitlement.
May God protect our armed and security forces in all their branches, and may God have mercy on our righteous martyrs, heal our wounded, and protect Iraq and its people from all harm .” link

Syria’s Pivot to Washington — Realignment of the Middle East Order
Historic U.S.–Syria engagement marks a profound geopolitical shift.
Overview
Ahmed al‑Sharaa, President of Syria, is scheduled to meet with Donald Trump at the White House on 10 November 2025, representing the first official visit by a Syrian head of state to Washington in Syria’s modern history. This follows the U.S.’s recent move to lift several sanctions on Syria and open the door to reconstruction financing.
Good Morning Dinar Recaps,
Syria’s Pivot to Washington — Realignment of the Middle East Order
Historic U.S.–Syria engagement marks a profound geopolitical shift.
Overview
Ahmed al‑Sharaa, President of Syria, is scheduled to meet with Donald Trump at the White House on 10 November 2025, representing the first official visit by a Syrian head of state to Washington in Syria’s modern history. This follows the U.S.’s recent move to lift several sanctions on Syria and open the door to reconstruction financing.
Key Developments
Ahmed al-Sharaa rose from rebel leader to Syrian president, overthrowing the long-standing regime of Bashar al‐Assad in late 2024.
The U.S. revoked the terrorist designation of Hayʾat Tahrir al‑Sham (HTS) in July 2025, facilitating engagement with Damascus.
The U.S. Treasury issued a licence authorising transactions with Syria’s interim government, central bank and state-enterprises.
The diplomatic agenda includes Syria’s participation in a U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition, possible U.S. military presence in Syria, and reconstruction investment estimated at over $200 billion.
Why It Matters
This meeting signals more than bilateral diplomacy — it indicates a structural realignment in the Middle East. By moving away from Syria’s traditional alliances (Iran, Russia) toward U.S. and Gulf-Arab partners, Damascus becomes part of a new economic and security architecture. Access to Western capital and reconstruction funding can propel Syria from isolation into the global financial system.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Diplomacy & Peace — Syria’s integration into the U.S./Gulf sphere restructures regional alliances.
Pillar: Finance — Reconstruction spending and sanctions relief mark Syria’s entry into Western-backed capital flows.
The shift reinforces the idea that diplomatic normalization now goes hand in hand with economic reintegration, underscoring how geopolitics and global finance are converging.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Japan–China Diplomatic Clash Exposes Fault Lines in Asian Security
Social media outburst reveals the fragility of regional diplomacy.
Overview
On 8 November 2025, Xue Jian, the Chinese Consul-General in Osaka, posted a threatening message on X (formerly Twitter) targeting Japan’s newly elected Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, prompting a formal protest by the Japanese government.
Key Developments
The post read: “We would have no choice but to cut off that dirty neck that has lunged at us without a moment’s hesitation.” The message was deleted shortly after publication.
Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary publicly decried the comments as “extremely inappropriate” and lodged a strong diplomatic protest with Beijing.
The U.S. ambassador to Japan echoed concerns, posting on X: “The mask slips — again.” in response to Xue’s remarks.
The incident occurs amid heightened tension over Taiwan and Japan’s evolving security posture, influencing regional stability.
Why It Matters
This episode illustrates how digital diplomacy can escalate into full-blown geopolitical incidents. It reveals the fragility of Asia’s security architecture at a time when Japan is deepening its alignment with Western defence postures, and China is assertively responding. The spill-over into financial and supply-chain risk is real: investor sentiment, trade flows and regional stability are all vulnerable.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Diplomacy & Peace — A breakdown in diplomatic protocol signals rising system risk.
Pillar: Markets — Escalation risks heighten volatility in Asian equities, bond markets and currency flows.
The event underscores that in the emerging global reset, geopolitical risk is directly influencing financial and economic structures, not just military balances.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Russia Considers Nuclear Testing — Strategic Deterrence Resets
A return to Cold-War nuclear posturing underscores a shifting power order.
Overview
Vladimir Putin has instructed top Russian officials to draw up proposals for potentially resuming full-scale nuclear weapons testing, marking a dramatic reversal from the post-Cold-War status quo.
Key Developments
The order comes after U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement that the U.S. would “immediately” resume testing nuclear weapons on an equal basis with other powers.
Russia has not carried out an explosive nuclear weapons test since 1990 (Soviet era). The move, if actualised, would escalate arms race dynamics.
Analysts say any renewed testing would trigger global ripple-effects: new missile defence races, scrambling of nuclear posture doctrines and higher sovereign risk premiums.
Why It Matters
The potential resumption of nuclear tests by major powers signals that strategic arms control is unraveling. That increases the risk premium on government debt, puts pressure on safe-haven assets such as gold, and compels states to reassess the financial architecture underpinning global security. For investors and global institutions, this is not just a defence story—it’s a structural risk to the collateral underpinning the financial system.
Implications for the Global Reset
Pillar: Metals — Heightened security risk boosts demand for precious metals as a hedge.
Pillar: Diplomacy & Peace — Arms-control breakdown undermines trust across economic alliances.
This scenario underlines how geopolitical denials of stability drive finance and currency regimes out of equilibrium, signalling a deeper reset of global architecture.
This is not just politics — it’s global finance restructuring before our eyes.

Exxonmobil CEO Optimistic About Returning To Iraq: We Need Guarantees

Exxonmobil CEO Optimistic About Returning To Iraq: We Need Guarantees
Posted on2025-11-09 by sotaliraq ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods expressed optimism about the possibility of ExxonMobil returning to Iraq after the company signed a preliminary agreement to manage, develop and operate the Majnoon oil field in the south of the country.
Woods told Reuters that Exxon needs to ensure the investment is appropriate and to negotiate with the Iraqi government to ensure it is a mutually beneficial agreement, adding that the process is still in its early stages.
He added that oil and gas will play a crucial role for a long time to come, and raised a question about how long they will continue to be used as fuel.
According to Woods, while technological developments may change the use of hydrocarbons in the future, they will continue to be used for other purposes, such as the medical sector.
The CEO of ExxonMobil concluded by saying, “Crude oil and hydrocarbons will play a pivotal role in everyone’s lives for a long time to come.”
On October 8th, the Iraqi government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (HOA) between the Ministry of Oil and the American company ExxonMobil.
Iraq currently produces about four million barrels of oil per day, and aims to exceed six million barrels per day by 2029.
The Majnoon oil field is located 60 kilometers from Basra in southern Iraq, and is one of the largest oil fields in the world, with estimated reserves of about 38 billion barrels. LINK

The World’s Secret Bank that Controls the Money Including the IQD
Edu Matrix: 11-9-2025
Ever wondered who truly pulls the levers in the grand theatre of global finance? While headlines often focus on national economies, stock markets, and government policies, there’s a powerful and largely unseen entity operating at the very apex of the financial world: the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
Often dubbed the “central bank of central banks,” the BIS is not just another financial institution; it’s the ultimate overseer of global financial stability.
The World’s Secret Bank that Controls the Money Including the IQD
Edu Matrix: 11-9-2025
Ever wondered who truly pulls the levers in the grand theatre of global finance? While headlines often focus on national economies, stock markets, and government policies, there’s a powerful and largely unseen entity operating at the very apex of the financial world: the Bank for International Settlements (BIS).
Often dubbed the “central bank of central banks,” the BIS is not just another financial institution; it’s the ultimate overseer of global financial stability.
Imagine an exclusive club where the world’s most powerful financial minds gather to shape the future of money. That’s essentially the BIS.
With 63 member central banks under its umbrella, representing a staggering 95% of the world’s GDP, its influence is gargantuan, yet it largely operates behind the scenes. Headquartered in the serene city of Basel, Switzerland, the BIS is a testament to quiet power and strategic coordination.
But what truly sets the BIS apart, and why is it so crucial to understand its role?
One of the most striking aspects of the BIS, and a key to its unique power, is its sovereign immunity.
This isn’t just a fancy legal term; it means the BIS effectively operates above national laws.
It grants this institution unparalleled discretion to manage, transfer, and influence vast sums of money without the typical legal scrutiny faced by other financial bodies.

Get Ready for the Biggest Financial Crisis yet
Liberty and Finance: 11-8-2025
In an economic environment defined by volatility, soaring inflation, and mounting global debt, traditional financial strategies are failing to protect wealth.
In a recent, critical discussion on Liberty and Finance, host Kaiser Johnson spoke with returning guest Phil Low, founder of the Bitter Draft, to dissect the true dangers lurking beneath the market surface and outline a timeless strategy for financial survival.
Low’s analysis spans the source of our current troubles—dishonest banking—to the defensive architecture of the classical “gentleman’s portfolio,” offering vital clarity on how to navigate the inevitable bust.
Most people believe inflation is simply the cost of doing business. Phil Low argues it is far more insidious, stemming directly from dishonest banking practices that create credit bubbles.
According to Low, banks generate an “illusion of real loanable funds” using fake dollars, which are actually nothing more than artificially expanded credit.
This manufactured liquidity is misread by the market as genuine profit or real capital. The resulting credit expansion doesn’t fuel genuine economic growth; it merely fuels inflation, directing capital to unproductive ventures and creating a massive, unstable overhang of debt.
The danger is clear: when the market realizes these dollars are fake, the resulting collapse won’t just be a recession—it will be a violent unwinding of credit that has been mistaken for wealth.
What happens when the credit bubble finally bursts in a hyperinflationary scenario? Many fear total societal collapse marked by extreme violence.
Low addresses this soberly, drawing parallels to the economic chaos and violence seen in the Weimar Republic during the 1920s.
While he agrees that social and political violence will increase as economic scarcity tightens its grip, he suggests that modern civilization is unlikely to be fully destroyed.
The key to preventing total societal collapse, Low emphasizes, is unleashing free markets. While the printing of money destroys capital, economic freedom allows real industry and productivity to emerge, effectively preventing mass starvation and dissolving the structural pressures that lead to chaos.
His advice for individuals during such a crisis is simple: maintain personal prudence and rely on proven, resilient assets.
In an unpredictable environment, where conventional wisdom (like the 60/40 stock-bond portfolio) is failing, Low advocates for a return to the classical “Gentleman’s Portfolio.” This strategy is built on diversification across three fundamental pillars of wealth, designed specifically to weather economic collapse and hyperinflation:
Precious metals serve as real money, offering unique liquidity and intrinsic value not tied to any government or banking system.
Low stresses that gold and silver are essential tools for maintaining purchasing power and facilitating transactions during periods of monetary chaos.
Productive land offers stability, income potential, and the ability to sustain life regardless of the financial system’s health. This asset is the ultimate hedge against both currency devaluation and food scarcity.
While stocks and bonds represent exposure to the financial markets, they are critical because they represent real business investments. Even after a major crash, businesses that produce essential goods and services will continue to operate, offering a route back to wealth accumulation once stability returns.
This triple-diversified approach is crucial not just for balancing risk, but for mitigating the potential for theft, loss, or government confiscation—a very real threat during times of systemic distress.
Low’s advice is straightforward: look closely at the conditions of credit and scrutinize profitability. If a venture only appears rational because of unlimited, cheap credit, it is a bubble waiting to pop.
Ultimately, the best defense is preparedness founded on honesty. Phil Low champions a return to honest banking as the only true way to prevent future bubbles and crashes.
In the meantime, the responsibility falls to the individual to secure their capital. Low advises storing wealth in real money—gold and silver—to ensure protection from the inevitable burst.
