2012 saw the beginning of economic recovery from the 2008 recession. What is this year, 2013, like? Let's see what this year is like and what we should do.
I liken this year as a person climbing a hill with the wind in their face. It seems that with every step forward there is some force pushing you back. More taxes, shorter hours, and inflation counter any income gains you have. Then on top of it there are the occasional repairs that are needed this year in your home and vehicle.
So what should our outlook be for this year? I feel that its important to keep moving forward regardless of the pressures to go backwards. I wouldn't expect great gains, though count yourself lucky if you even make your goals. I would try to take steps to mitigate any risk. Secure your gains, and try not to fall back.
Yep, the year is and will continue to be a fight. Perhaps toward the end of the year some of us will see some relief from the forces holding us back. 2014 will be a different year. We will have to see what that brings. I see growth there and an increased gap between rich and poor. But even the poor will make some gains. Cheers!
