Why “Wait and See” When You Can Take Action Today?

I’m the sort of person who prefers to act rather than react—especially when it comes to protecting myself and my family against an uncertain future. Take your car, for example.

On May 16, 2023, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned that “the U.S. economy hangs in the balance” if lawmakers don’t act swiftly to increase the U.S. debt ceiling—the total amount that the federal government is allowed to borrow.

Americans Are Saving More. Where Should That Money Go?

I recently ran across an April 28, 2023, MarketWatch article with a headline that begins: “America’s personal savings just hit $1 trillion.” It then goes on to ask whether CDs, I-bonds, or online savings accounts would be the best place to put that extra cash.
