Before we turn the page and move into the new decade, let’s take a look back at a busy 2019. We saw a strong market, interest rate cuts, the passing of the SECURE Act, and more, but there are also some signs for concern heading into 2020.

The Show:
Think back to just over one year ago. The market was in the midst of a significant correction, interest rates looked poised for another hike, and uncertainty surrounded politics.
Some things haven’t changed but a year later, there’s much more optimism in the financial world this December. Of course you’ll find people that have a negative outlook on the future of the market, but those people will always exist. The results speak to a strong 2019 and we wanted to take one last look back at the end of the decade on this episode of Your Money, Your Life.
Don Cash will recap last year with the headlines and trends that caught his attention. There was plenty to be excited about but he also saw some things that might raise a little concern for the future.
We’ll also look ahead to 2020. Where are we headed this year? We’ve already seen the SECURE Act take effect, which will have a significant impact on retirement accounts. And who can forget about the upcoming presidential election?
