President Donald Trump ’s tariffs, assuming they go ahead in their current form, will add to the cost of consumer goods.

Americans are buying more cars in order to lock in at a more affordable price.

Consumers are bulk-buying certain items, including coffee, olive oil, laundry detergent, pet food, liquid soap and toilet tissue.

A prolonged recession could, in theory, lead to a spike in job losses.

The personal savings rate as a percentage of disposable income was 4.6% in both January and February , marking a 7-month high.

Americans can still get CDs and high-yield savings accounts with rates of up to 4.5% .

People who sell their stocks and move to cash and bonds will likely regret it later.
