In this episode, Josh explores why financial pessimism is rising despite low unemployment and resilient markets. He breaks down the growing gap between economic data and everyday reality, the impact of inflation, debt, and uncertainty, and why financial confidence isn't determined by what's happening in the economy, it's determined by whether you have a plan.
