It’s been a wild year. Crypto has fallen 70%. The stock market has been horrible. Bonds have had the worst year since the 1700s! And we’ve watched inflation hit levels not seen since Reagan was in the White House.
What does this mean as we move into a new year?
Today, we’re going to take a look at some of the biggest money stories of 2022 — and how they might impact your pocketbook as we move into 2023.
As usual, host Stacy Johnson is joined by financial journalist Miranda Marquit. Listening in and sometimes contributing is producer Aaron Freeman. Today’s guest is Craig Ferrantino, a certified financial fiduciary at Craig James Financial Services.
Remember, even though we sometimes talk about money and specific investments on this show, don’t take them as recommendations. Before investing in anything or making any other money moves, do your own research and make your own decisions.
