How are you budgeting these days?
Whether you’re a shopper or seller, a worker or a business owner, you likely have a lot on your mind. Mortgage and insurance rates remain high. Inflation is stubborn. President Trump has added new tariffs on Chinese imports. He’s imposed, delayed, re-imposed and re-delayed new levies on goods from the United States’ two other closest trading partners, Canada and Mexico. Gas prices are down, but those egg prices … well, you know.
We want to hear your thoughts and observations on how all of this has affected your spending or your plans for the future. For example, have you fast-tracked any purchases, like a car, appliance or a renovation? Or are you putting big investments off?
