Why Does The Economy Feel Broken Right Now?

The economy is growing. The stock market is rising. Unemployment may not look terrible. So why do so many people still feel like they're falling behind? Why does the economy feel broken right now? In this episode, we dig into one of the biggest questions facing households around the world and uncover why the economy many people experience feels very different from the economy described in headlines and government reports.

Because people don't experience the economy through charts and statistics—they experience it through rent, groceries, bills, savings, and the ability to build a better future. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

The Day Your Money Starts Working Harder Than You
