On this episode of Watts on Wealth, Barry Watts, Jeremy Zikafoose, and Amy Sharp break down what’s really going on with recession fears, inflation, and the constant stream of economic headlines.

They explain why recessions are a normal part of the cycle, what stagflation actually means, and why most people don’t need to panic when the market shifts. The conversation also covers how to think about liquidity, why stopping 401(k) contributions can be a mistake, and how to position your retirement plan to handle uncertainty.

The focus stays on what you can control—your strategy, your risk level, and your long-term plan—rather than trying to predict the next headline.
