WEALTHTRACK Financial Planning in Inflationary Times [2022]
We are in the midst of a sea change in our financial lives. Here are the headlines:
-Inflation is surging for the first time in years and has reached the highest level in forty years.
-The Federal Reserve is embarking on the fastest and steepest tightening cycle in decades.
-Value stocks are outperforming growth stocks after lagging them by record amounts for nearly a decade and a half.
Is it time to make some changes to our financial plans?
Our guest this week is an award-winning personal finance journalist who has been a WEALTHTRACK regular since our launch in 2005.
He is Jonathan Clements, the founder, and editor of HumbleDollar, a free weekly online newsletter devoted to telling you “everything you need to know about money.” It is worth visiting. Clements was the personal finance columnist at The Wall Street Journal for 20 years and is the author of several personal finance books, including From Here to Financial Happiness and How To Think About Money.
Clements will give us his perspective on the much-changed financial climate we find ourselves in, and offer portfolio and financial planning adjustments for rising interest rates and inflation.
