Your 2024 Economic Year in Review

The Higher Standard

Happy New Year! In this special year-end episode, Chris and Saied dive deep into the wild ride that was 2024, recapping the economy quarter by quarter with their signature mix of insight and banter. From the "pensive" start of the year where the Fed played cat-and-mouse with rate cuts to the real estate market's affordability crisis and the Magnificent Seven’s domination of Wall Street, this episode is packed with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster at an abandoned theme park. Whether it's debating AI's transformative potential, lamenting high mortgage rates, or pointing out the "Jersey Shore" dynamics of the Federal Reserve, Chris and Saied break it all down with wit, wisdom, and the occasional mocktail reference.

➡️ As they toast to a new year (mocktail in hand), the duo doesn't shy away from discussing the highs and lows of 2024, from soaring office vacancies to spiraling service costs. And as tradition dictates, they leave you with a little financial humor to ring in 2025: "Remember, folks, economic resolutions are like gym memberships—great in theory, but it’s the follow-through that counts! Stay sharp, stay savvy, and don’t let inflation shrink your New Year’s champagne budget." Here's to another year of keeping it real, financial nerds. Cheers! 🥂💥 Have you left your "honest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" review?
