This episode covers myriad of issues facing our modern world today: how technology is impacting kids in school and beyond, the effects of mortgage rates and inflation on the economy, and the looming recession in the U.S.
Hallie and I discuss our personal experiences with social media and the challenges of comparison and distraction. We also touch on the negative effects of cell phones in schools, then transition to the impact of mortgage rates on the real estate market and the rising cost of food and the impact it has on household budgets. We conclude with Warren Buffett’s investment strategy, the distribution of wealth in the stock market, and, on a positive note, the power of journaling at any age.
Takeaways:
- The impact of cell phones on children and in schools
- How mortgage affect the real estate market, economic growth, and home sales
- The recent stock market drop
- How journaling can serve as a useful tool for you (and your kids) both today and in the future
