What Do Proposed Tariffs Mean For Your Portfolio?
The day President Trump took office, he announced plans to implement a 25 percent tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada. Additional tariff conversations have exploded since that day. How might this impact your personal finances and the economy? Today, we’ll explain a bit of the backstory of tariffs and discuss these new tariffs.
Like always, we have some great quotes of the week to share and fun getting-to-know Matt and Sam questions to get the episode started. Later in the episode, we hear from one of our listeners, Peter, who’s at his wit’s end with his soon-to-be former broker. He’s shocked by the high fees on his variable annuity and is curious if those costs are normal.
