FAQs: Do we see a recession on the horizon?

Jul 1, 2025

The short answer is “No”. The long answer is “Of course, someday, but not in the immediate future” because:

1. The labor market is strong at 4.2% Unemployment – still historically low.

A resilient labor market means consumers are still earning, spending, and supporting economic growth.

2. GDP although slowing is still positive

While the pace isn’t explosive, it’s solid—and far from contraction territory.

3. Consumer Sentiment is rebounding

As inflation eases and the labor market stays strong, people are feeling more optimistic about their financial outlook—leading to increased spending and economic momentum.

Our years of experience has taught us one thing when it comes to money: to live comfortably, maintain our standard of living, and enjoy what’s ahead in life, we need to make investing a priority. History teaches us that we can rarely grow our wealth in any meaningful way without investing and we cannot invest if we do not save. The way that our financial system is structured, we strongly believe that individuals should not attempt to hide from inflation, but instead BUY inflation through investments in assets that benefit from its existence.
