In this episode of CalmCast, we unpack the emotional undercurrent of the economy—consumer confidence. With recent drops in sentiment reflecting rising anxiety over inflation, tariffs, and a potential recession, we explain what these confidence numbers really mean, and why they matter more than you might think.
We’ll cover:
- The latest consumer confidence data—and why it’s signaling trouble
- How confidence impacts your spending, borrowing, and saving habits (even if you don’t realize it)
- A practical, personal finance action you can take this week to stabilize your own financial mindset—no matter what the headlines say
Markets are reacting. People are pulling back. But you don’t have to panic—you just need a plan.
