But if you're in the bottom two thirds, particularly the bottom third, it's a str it's a struggle.
The inflation's up, uh hiring is down, you d you don't want to lose your job.
Uh you're you know, you're grappling with higher debt payments, cards, student loans, uh and uh you're you're really not beneficiing benefiting from the you know, rump in in equity prices because you don't own any equity.
So
You know, it really depends.
And I think that uh that will characterize twenty twenty six.
Um and I do think uh the the the there is a lot of risk, uh when the economy's not creating jobs, that is not a place you wanna be for very long.
So hopefully, you know, we'll start to see hiring kick back into a higher gear and job growth resumes and we continue to push forward.
But it I, you know, I worry that that won't be the case and that uh, you know, it'll be a tougher year.
The the one other thing I'll just throw into the mix, Ed, that's different from 25, that will be different in 26 than 25, is we're gonna get a lot of sub of fiscal stimulus.

high gear here in twenty twenty six tax cuts for businesses, accelerated depreciation and tax cuts for individuals, tips and overtime and salt and a bunch of other stuff.
So that should provide some juice.
And of course the Fed's been cutting rates and, you know, all else equal that should also support growth in twenty six.
So I think it's going to be another kind of just uncomfortable year for many Americans with a lot of risk around that.
But
But uh hopefully with a little bit of luck and that fiscal stimulus we kind of navigate through and avoid another uh a year we avoid uh we have another year without a
Yeah, you make a great point.
I mean, uh I think it does raise the odds that we see more rate cuts than markets are currently and uh seem to be anticipating next year.
Okay.
