A recession is imminent. Or, maybe it isn’t? News stories about looming recession can feel incessant, only for the economic turmoil to never materialize. To start off this episode, Sean and Sara talk about how to cut through the noise and focus on improving your financial life. Then Sean and Sara talk with a listener, Lauren, who’s deciding whether to pull back from her retirement savings to pay down her mortgage faster.
