Inflation? Recession? The Job Market? Find out where the economy is heading and how to protect your financial future.

With worries of a possible recession still weighing heavily on many people's minds, people are struggling to figure out what to do with their money and how to prepare financially for the future. With record consumer spending at a time when supply chains are buckling and inflation has skyrocketed to a 40-year high, it's safe to say that the current economic outlook is anything but certain.

During times of uncertainty, we want to be here to provide some much-needed balance.

We know people are concerned. In fact, a recent Bankrate study showed just how confused people are and how it is taking a toll on their savings and outlook on the future:

• According to Bankrate, 74% say economic factors are causing them to save less right now, including 68% who say inflation is to blame.
• Eighty percent of people in households making under $75,000 a year were saving less due to at least one economic factor.
• 68% of people are worried they wouldn't be able to cover their living expenses for just one month if they lost their primary source of income, including 85% of Gen Zers
• Almost 4 in 10 say they have less emergency savings than they had a year ago.

Bankrate suggests that "in periods of economic uncertainty, it's a good idea to try to pay down debt quickly and build up your emergency savings in case of a loss of income." While that is easy to say, as their survey shows, most people still have difficulty figuring out how to do that in today's economic climate.
