## Resource

Prices aren’t cooling down fast — that gas pump relief was just a temporary pause. Global supply chains and ongoing events keep costs high, and the Fed’s 2% inflation target? More like a 2028 goal. Consumers are shifting priorities: ditching big splurges for essentials like groceries and rent. CEOs are feeling the squeeze too, with confidence dropping and layoffs looming, especially in tech and transport as automation takes hold. While the economy isn’t headed for a crash in the next six months, growth is slowing. The real warning sign? Rising jobless claims — not stock market swings. Adapt, prioritize, and brace for a prolonged period of economic pressure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
