WTL Wrap-Up: “Financial Optimism: It’s NOT All Doom and Gloom Out There”

Leonard Raskin, Ann & Matthew

Just listening to the news, the pundits, reading the newspaper or talking with friends… you may think that financially, we’re in bad shape with no hope of things getting better.

That’s just not true says my guest last week, the WomanTalk Live Wealth Expert, Leonard Raskin, the CEO of Raskin Global and Women Getting Wise on Wealth.  And, while we’ve talked some serious talk on past shows, Leonard was here to share the “good” that’s out there now.  And, that’s serious, too!

Remember 2012, the year many of us called the year from “H*E***”???  Well, in many respects, it was one of the best year’s ever.  Never in the history of the world was there less hunger, less disease, and more prosperity.  But, the media would not have you thinking that.

And, 2013 jumped off to a great start with mortgage interest rates remaining low, the real estate market rebounding, and the stock market taking off helping those who stayed in the market recoup a big portion of the losses they suffered in past years.

We always bounce back, move ahead and make great strides.  And, knowing that these cycles occur, the best thing to do is to make sure your finances are in order so you withstand whatever comes along.

If you missed the show, or you want to share it with a friend, it will be posted in the podcast archive later on this week.  It’s the June 8^th show.
