📰 On this week's episode of Minds Over Money, I go over 2 headlines from last week that directly impact the economy as well as potentially impacting your own investment portfolio. [11:26] And this week’s financial planning topic is Dangers Avoided: why having a professional financial guide is worth it. ☠️

📱 [0:49] The first headline, “Spam Texts are Surging. Here’s How to Avoid Being Swindled.”, is an article that explores the surge in robotext spam that opens recipients to potential identity theft and how to protect yourself when you receive one.

📈 [3:44] The second headline, “Fed Officials See Need for Continued Interest Rate Increases, But Less Certainty Over Destination”, is a deep dive into the minutes from the July Federal Reserve policy meeting and what we can expect of future interest rate hikes and policy changes.

Hope you enjoy it!
