Tariffs aren't great, but if a vehicle built outside of the U.S. costs so much more than one inside the U.S., then maybe we'll just keep buying American. It's a Hail Mary. I don't think he's going to fix everything for us.

I am just extremely worried and hope that you can help me break down what I currently have in retirement. to maybe give me some peace of mind that at the age of 67, I may be able to retire frugally. How old are you now? I'm 56. I'll be 57 in April.

Great. Great. Well, I'm going to tell you the salary that I make currently is $47,840. Okay. I currently have an IRA that has $47,702 in it, and I contribute $200 per month to that IRA. I have a CD that I locked up for 13 months at 5% interest. It currently has $36,022 in it. I have a Roth IRA in a job I started a year ago.

It has a $2,581 in that I am contributing 8% and set it up for a 2% per year increase until I reached 15%. And then in my savings, I currently have $12,237. I put 20% of each check into that savings account. I do not have any debt. I'm debt-free, but I do not own a home. I went through a divorce in 2018. It took years to pay off my debt to get to where I am now, debt-free.

Very minimal, because I live with my significant other. He doesn't have a house payment, so I just pay utilities. We split utilities. We split groceries. So... you know, maybe, maybe 1200 a month.
