In a stark interview, economist Stephanie Pomboy says the U.S. is barreling toward a deep recession—and the Federal Reserve is “flying blind.”
Her concern? The Fed is ignoring early economic indicators and focusing too much on backward-looking data.
For retirees, that means delayed reactions and missteps could result in rapid market declines with little warning—jeopardizing your savings at the worst possible moment.
Another economist, Steven Anastasiou, warns that the U.S. dollar could face a sudden and severe collapse.
Why? Massive government debt, global dedollarization, and a loss of confidence in U.S. financial management.
If the dollar drops, your purchasing power could erode overnight. For retirees living on fixed income or savings, this risk is too big to ignore.
Bloomberg reports that major capital flows are moving out of the U.S., with wealthy investors shifting money overseas ahead of the 2026 election.
Why? Fears of higher taxes, rising inflation, and increased regulation under another Trump administration.
When the wealthy reposition their portfolios, it’s not just political—it’s protective. Retirees should take note and consider similar defensive strategies now, not later.
A new report reveals that BRICS countries—Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—now hold more than 50% of global gold reserves.
This isn’t random. It’s a strategic move to undermine the U.S. dollar and establish an alternative global financial system.
As the dollar’s dominance weakens, tangible assets like gold may become a more reliable store of value—especially for retirees seeking long-term security.
New data shows bankruptcies are rising fast across all sectors—from households to large corporations.
It’s a clear sign that financial pressure is building and that many Americans, including businesses, are struggling to stay afloat.
For retirees, that means more economic instability ahead. A rising tide of defaults could ripple through markets and retirement accounts, especially those heavily tied to stocks or corporate debt.
