Now that the 2024 Election is in the books, we know that a new and yet familiar President-elect will take control of the Whitehouse in 2025. So, what does that mean for your investments and finances?

To help answer that question, Matthew Peck highlights some of the economic factors that SHP Financial will be keeping a close eye on that will impact the markets. While inflation and taxes have been hot topics for some time now, many people are undoubtedly concerned about what the next administration will do to address these issues.

In this episode, Matthew breaks down the state of the U.S. economy, how tariffs impact the cost of consumer goods, and how new corporate tax cuts could negatively impact inflation.

In this podcast interview, you’ll learn:

• The state of our economy in terms of GDP, inflation, and jobs in late 2024–and how this will influence policy in the years to come.
• How Trump’s proposed tariffs could dramatically drive up prices for American consumers.
• Possible loopholes to be created by new tax codes.
• How difficult it is to cut taxes while still addressing inflation and the national debt.
• How mass deportations, if they happen, will massively reshape America’s labor industry.
