Despite The Circus In Washington

Despite The Circus In Washington, Stay Focused On Economic Fundamentals

The circus in Washington is an incredible distraction, but the fundamental economics driving American wealth continue to show considerable strength.

The sideshow does make it hard to stay focused on what’s really important.

But even the National Federation of Independent Businesses was distracted by the sideshow in reporting the news.

NFIB’s monthly press release about the Optimism Index focused on the recent drop in optimism and the sideshow in Washington, rather than the more important news from a long-term perspective: that the level of optimism among business owners has been this high only twice since 1975.

2016-06-19 Building Family Wealth with Kimberly Palmer and Ed Fulbright on Mastering Your Money Radio

Kimberly Palmer

For many women, life’s greatest source of financial stresses comes with motherhood. While struggling to keep up with all the new expenses, from diapers and baby food to child care, moms feel the pressure to save for big future goals, like college tuition, and provide a cushion for unexpected events, like a layoff or illness. Then, there are those tough money-and-work related questions: how much time should I take off after my baby is born? Can I afford an unpaid maternity leave? Will I be able to commit the same ambition to my career with a kid? What if I want to work from home or part-time?

She is an adjunct professor at American University, where she teaches a course on mastering social media. She has appeared on NBC’S TODAY, CNBC, and CNN.
