Tariffs, Inflation, and What It Means for Your Money in 2025

May 29, 2025

Tariffs are back in the headlines, and they’re not just political talking points. They’re already rippling through the economy, raising prices, slowing GDP growth, and shaking investor confidence. So, what do these policy changes really mean for your money?

Rob also shares practical tips on how to respond strategically to volatility, whether it’s keeping a buffer in cash, using market dips to invest wisely, or taking advantage of tax-loss harvesting opportunities.
