Today is Budget Speech day, which basically decides how much more expensive life could get… or hopefully, how much relief is coming. From taxes and fuel to grants and government spending, this is the moment that shapes what we all pay and what we get back. Taxes & Fuel: “Were there any major changes to personal income tax or VAT, and what does that mean for everyday South Africans?” Social Grants: “Did the government announce any increases to social grants, and who will benefit the most?” Government Spending Priorities: “Which sectors or projects is the government focusing on this year, and are there any big surprises?” Economic Relief: “Were there measures to ease the cost of living, especially for things like fuel, electricity, or basic goods?” Impact on Households: “Looking at the overall picture, do you think the budget offers relief for ordinary South Africans, or will it mostly benefit businesses and investors?”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Markets assess the economic impact of sweeping tariffs as rates climb to multi-decade highs, boosting federal revenue while weighing growth and wages. Plus, a potential Supreme Court ruling could reshape presidential tariff powers and alter the fiscal outlook. And later, pro-growth tax cuts clash with rising trade costs, as higher refunds are offset by tariffs squeezing consumers and business investment. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most Christian men aren't building their families in a way that is producing strength, legacy, or long-term faithfulness. The Bible teaches us a better way. In the third episode of this "Abrahamic Starter Kit Series," we unveil The Abrahamic Model — a completely different operating system for marriage, child-raising, and money. In this episode, we go back to the biblical mandate and show what it looks like for a man to lead his home with sacrificial authority so that his wife thrives and his children grow up ready to carry the family torch. This isn't about trends. It's about reclaiming God's original design — and building something that lasts for generations.

We've had the first monetary policy decision from the new Reserve Bank Governor, and it's not until you get a new captain at the helm that you realise just how little confidence you had left in the previous one. Now, to be fair, it's early days for Anna Breman. We'll judge her by what she does from here on in. But she does start with a clean slate - without us reading too much into her decisions or second-guessing every move because of a poor track record. And that, I'd say, is a very welcome change from just a few weeks ago before she took over. Her assessment is that inflation is fine. Yes, it's a little high right now - 3.1 percent, outside the target band - but it's expected to fall back within the band by this time next year. The economy is improving. The green shoots that were previously limited to certain regions and industries are becoming more widespread. Households are getting more money in their pockets, but they're still cautious - and that's a problem. Because unless they're confident enough to spend, they'll hold back the economic recovery from what it could potentially be. But - and this is probably the bit you've been most interested in, and waiting for - they will start raising the OCR faster than expected. Previously, the Official Cash Rate projection had it going from 2.2 percent in March to 2.3 percent in December. That's now been brought forward: they're forecasting 2.3 percent in June and 2.4 percent in December. The first increase will still most likely be in December, but the chances of it happening in September just increased. It's not a major concern. It's not a major correction. It's not a game-changer for most people. But it does bring the inevitable a little closer. Still - for now - it's nice to have a change at the top, isn't it? And here's hoping this Governor does a better job than the last one. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the No One Fights Alone (NOFA) Podcast, Brad and Maren take a deeper look at an often overlooked part of first responder and veteran life — the family at home.While public safety professionals are trained to run toward danger and provide physical protection, the emotional impact of that responsibility doesn't stay on shift. Brad and Maren explore how trauma exposure, hypervigilance, and operational stress influence relationships with spouses and children, often in ways families struggle to understand or talk about.They discuss what it can feel like for children growing up in a home shaped by unpredictable schedules, emotional shutdown, or heightened alertness. Many families learn to adapt silently, reading moods instead of having conversations, and those survival patterns frequently carry into adulthood.Brad and Maren talk about conflict — not as something to avoid, but as something families must learn to navigate in a healthy way. Avoidance, resentment, anger, and emotional withdrawal are discussed as common coping strategies that unintentionally create distance inside relationships. They emphasize that while first responders provide physical safety, emotional safety inside the home is equally important.The conversation also explores how childhood experiences shape adult behavior, why children often take on responsibility beyond their age in high-stress households, and how shame prevents both parents and kids from asking for help. Therapy and honest dialogue are presented not as signs of weakness, but as tools for rebuilding connection and breaking generational cycles.Listeners will hear practical insight into how families can communicate more openly, repair misunderstandings, and support each other through the realities of high-pressure careers.Topics discussed include:• First responder family dynamics • Children of law enforcement and veterans • Hypervigilance at home and emotional withdrawal • Anger, resentment, and communication styles • Healthy conflict resolution in relationships • Breaking cycles of shame and isolation • Therapy and rebuilding emotional safetyWhether you serve in public safety, are married to someone who does, or grew up in that environment, this episode offers perspective on why these patterns exist — and how families can move toward understanding instead of distance.About the No One Fights Alone PodcastThe No One Fights Alone (NOFA) Podcast features honest conversations about mental health, trauma, recovery, and resilience within first responder, military, and high-stress professional communities.

Let's talk about Trump's quiet tax on American households....

Farm & Ranch Director Sarah Heinrich shares details on a a recent report: See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new report from the nonpartisan Tax Foundation found that President Donald Trump's tariffs have cost the average American household an extra $1,000 a year and could balloon to $1,300 if they remain in place. Greg and Holly discuss how these tariffs have impacted families' wallets.  

Cape Town is often praised for having one of South Africa’s most progressive residential solar programmes, but the rollout has not been without controversy. Kadri Nassiep, Executive Director of City Electricity at the City of Cape Town, speaks to John Maytham about the City’s approach to encouraging solar uptake. Households can benefit from incentives including cash or bill credits for excess power fed back into the grid and the City has paid millions to residents for their contributions. Some administration fees have been reduced to make solar adoption easier. However, critics argue that additional costs such as feed-in meters and fixed infrastructure charges make participation complicated and expensive, particularly for middle-income households, high-value properties, and those using less municipal electricity. More than 14 000 objections and petitions have been lodged against the City’s tariff structures, with residents saying that fixed charges disproportionately affect disposable income. The City maintains that charges are necessary to cover the cost of pipes, cables, and staff, even as more households generate their own power, highlighting the tension between supporting renewable energy and maintaining municipal infrastructure funding. Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist. His show serves a round-up of local and international news coupled with the latest in business, sport, traffic and weather. The host’s eclectic interests mean the program often surprises the audience with intriguing book reviews and inspiring interviews profiling artists.

Insurers have begun their retreat as climate change bites. Back-to-back disasters in recent years have pushed insured loss into the billions and forced tough questions about what can still be covered. Homeowners in flood and coast-exposed areas are starting to see higher premiums, exclusions and even the risk of losing cover altogether. AA Insurance has gone the extra mile and stopped issuing new home insurance policies in several towns entirely. So, who will pay when extreme weather keeps coming? Households, insurers, or the Government? Today on The Front Page, journalist and publisher of The Kākā, Bernard Hickey is with us to explain how climate change is reshaping insurance – and what it means for where and how we live.

Travis Rymer preaches "Christian Households" from Colossians 3:18-4:1, in this Sunday morning gathering of Grace Harbor Church.

Grief knocks first, and we don't look away. A young woman's murder and the raw honesty of Psalm 31 set the tone for a frank, searching conversation about sorrow, courage, and what real faithfulness looks like when the world feels unsteady. From there, we move into the harder rooms of Scripture—1 Peter 3 on marriage—and ask how to hold honor, respect, and mutual duty in a culture that often treats vows as suggestions. The goal isn't to win an argument; it's to recover a pattern of life that keeps love sturdy and prayer unhindered.The lens widens with Matthew 25 as we wrestle with works of mercy: feeding the hungry, welcoming the stranger, visiting the sick and imprisoned. Compassion matters, and so does prudence. How do we protect the vulnerable already in our care while serving those at the edges of our attention? We trace that tension with clear eyes, resisting slogans and aiming for lived obedience that counts the cost and still says yes. Along the way, we step into history—a Berlin bombing, a Civil War sailor's courage—to show how ideology without virtue fractures communities, while duty rooted in character preserves them.Finally, we bring it home: men and women, honor and gratitude, strength and tenderness. Households ordered by Scripture become small schools of public virtue. Citizens who fear God choose leaders who tell the truth, steward resources, and remember they will answer to a higher Judge. It's a call to lament honestly, love concretely, and vote with a conscience trained by the Word. If this conversation steadies you or sparks a healthy disagreement, share it with a friend, leave a review, and consider supporting the show so we can keep building thoughtful, faith-filled content together.

The Department of Employment and Labour has announced the latest updates to South Africa's National Minimum Wage, affecting domestic workers, farm workers, and other applicable employees. Following recommendations from the National Minimum Wage Council, the rate has been increased by 5%, moving from R28.79 to R30.23 per ordinary hour worked. For a standard 45-hour work week, the increase translates to a weekly wage of R1,264.85. When calculated over a month of 4.3 weeks (or 195 hours), the minimum becomes R5,894.40. For households employing domestic workers on a more typical 160-hour month, the minimum monthly wage rises to R4,834, up from R4,606 in 2025. Households must also note that South Africa's minimum wage laws require employers to pay for at least four hours of work each day, regardless of the actual hours worked. This sets the true daily minimum for domestic workers at approximately R121, an increase from R115 last year. Domestic workers have been fully covered by the National Minimum Wage since 2022. However, data suggests that many workers are still earning below the legal minimum. According to BusinessTech, median salaries reported by Stats SA show that domestic workers earn around R2,350 per month, equivalent to R14.69 per hour for a 160-hour month. This is less than half of the 2026 minimum wage.

From tariff-funded refunds to tough talk with allies, trade has once again become a central theme of Donald Trump's White House. One year into Trump's second mandate, economist Gerald Friedman walks RFI through the reality behind the rhetoric and looks to how the administration may ultimately be judged. One year after Donald Trump returned to the White House, his second administration has wasted little time putting trade at the forefront of policy. Tariffs, the US president insists, are delivering an economic renaissance. Inflation has supposedly all but vanished. The stock market is booming. Trillions of dollars are said to be pouring into the Treasury, with the promise of tariff-funded cheques soon landing in American letterboxes. Critics, Trump has declared, are "fools". Strip away the slogans, however, and the picture looks far less flattering. According to Gerald Friedman, professor of economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Trump's tariff-driven revival is built on shaky foundations – economically incoherent, politically vindictive and geopolitically destabilising. EU readies response to new US tariffs, France braces for fallout The numbers don't add up From an economist's perspective, Friedman says, Trump's claims barely survive contact with reality. “Almost nothing” in the president's upbeat assessment is true. Yes, the stock market is high, but only because a small group of technology giants dominates the indices. Remove them, and the wider market is essentially flat. The idea that tariffs are generating vast new revenues is equally illusory. Tariffs face an unavoidable contradiction: set them high enough to block imports and they raise little money; set them low enough to generate revenue and they fail to protect domestic industry. Either way, the notion that they are filling federal coffers with “trillions” is "fantasy". Friedman notes that “virtually no economists outside of those being paid through Donald Trump … support his tariff regime”, particularly given its random and unsystematic application. What is billed as strategic economic policy looks more like improvisation. Trump's first 100 days: Trade, diplomacy and walking the transatlantic tightrope Illusion of tariff-funded cheques The administration's proposal to issue tariff-funded “refunds” – between $1,000 and $2,000 per household in early 2026 – has clear populist appeal. Economically, Friedman argues, it makes little sense. The US already runs a federal deficit of roughly $1.7 trillion a year, around 6 per cent of GDP. Washington does not need tariffs to send out cheques; it can simply borrow more. The real question is whether it should, particularly after extending large tax cuts for the wealthy that continue to inflate the deficit. There is a deeper irony. Tariffs, Friedman points out, already constitute “the biggest tax increase as a share of GDP that this country has had since the early 1990s”, adding roughly $1,500 a year to household costs through higher prices. Refunding some of that money would merely hand back what had just been taken – while leaving the underlying economic damage untouched. Inflation, eggs and everyday living Trump has repeatedly pointed to falling egg prices as proof that inflation is under control. Friedman underlines that egg prices surged because of bird flu, not economic policy, and fell as the outbreak eased. They are down by about half, not by the 85 per cent the president boasts about – “one of the smaller lies”, as Friedman puts it. Elsewhere, tariffs are doing exactly what economists expect: pushing prices up. Imports such as coffee and bananas cannot realistically be replaced by domestic production. Taxing them feeds directly into the cost of living. Households are paying more, not less. The impact does not stop at consumer prices. Retaliation and uncertainty are quietly undermining export industries. China has cut back on US soybean imports, hurting farmers. Canada is actively reducing its reliance on the US market, deepening ties with Europe and China. Even sectors untouched by tariffs are suffering. Higher education – one of America's largest export earners – is losing foreign students as visas tighten and the country's tourism has also slumped. The combined effect, Friedman warns, is “higher prices and a reduction in employment and wages… ultimately, devastating to the US economy”. Europe's 'Truman Show' moment: is it time to walk off Trump's set? Gunboat diplomacy, with grudges attached For Friedman, Trump's economic policy cannot be separated from his personality. Tariffs have become instruments of pressure and punishment, often driven by personal vendettas rather than strategic calculation. Hostility towards Canada's former prime minister Justin Trudeau, for example, owed as much to personal dislike as to trade policy. This is where economics merges with geopolitics. The US, Friedman argues, is drifting away from the postwar, rules-based order it once championed towards something far older and harsher – “pre-1940”, rather than merely pre-1945. Trade policy is wielded like a weapon, diplomacy reduced to threat and coercion. “Nobody wants to be the one who sticks his head up,” to speak out, Friedman says. Corporate leaders and officials see what happens to dissenters and keep their heads down for fear of investigations, legal costs and political retaliation.  Occupy Wall Street protestors clash with police outside New York Stock Exchange A symptom of deeper failures None of this, Friedman stresses, emerged from nowhere. Echoing arguments made by Greek economist and former left-wing finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, he sees Trump as both cause and symptom. Decades of rising inequality, deindustrialisation and attacks on unions hollowed out large parts of the working class, particularly in the US and Europe. The 2008 financial crisis was explosive. Banks were rescued, executives kept their bonuses, and almost nobody went to jail. The lesson, Friedman says, was clear: the powerful play by different rules. Regions once loyal to centre-left parties – coal country in West Virginia, manufacturing towns across the Midwest – became some of Trump's strongest supporters. Trump did not invent these grievances, but he has channelled them into a politics driven less by repair than by ego and confrontation. Trump says Venezuela's Maduro captured in 'large scale' US strike Judging Trump in 2026 So how should Trump's second presidency be judged as it heads into 2026? Friedman offers a stark metric. Ignore the rhetoric and watch the behaviour of those with real power. Do Republican lawmakers rediscover a spine? Do corporate leaders decide that long-term stability matters more than short-term fear? If they do not, the outlook is bleak. “It's not only the America First agenda,” Friedman says, “it's Trump's personal, ego-driven agenda.” Protests may continue to swell, but without resistance from political and economic elites, the consequences will stretch far beyond the US. In 2026, the results will be difficult to spin away. Tariffs promise strength and sovereignty. What they are delivering, Friedman argues, is higher prices, weaker alliances and a dangerous slide towards a world the US once helped consign to history.

Message Take Aways:1. A wife's submission to her husband is ultimately obedience to the Lord and it is made easier when her husband is rightly submitted to Christ—“Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:122. Households established on God's intended structure for the family will be blessed as they yield to His word—“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:73. Regardless of position, the Christian is to regard their employment as service unto the Lord and seek to glorify Him in it—“And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.” Colossians 3:17

In this episode, Steve Wood examines Colossians 3:18–4:1 and St. Paul's teaching on Christian family households. He walks through the roles of wives, husbands, parents, and children, addressing why Colossians 3:18 is often misunderstood today. Using the example of St. Joseph and the Holy Family, Steve explains Christian headship as a call to service, protection, and love. The episode places these household teachings within the broader context of Scripture and Catholic tradition. For more resources, visit us online at www.BibleforCatholics.com.  

The USDA’s Economic Research Service said 13.7 percent of U.S. households, or 18.3 million, were food insecure in 2024. Food-insecure households, or those with low or very-low food security, had difficulty at some time during the year providing enough food for all their members because of a lack of resources.

A severe cold snap has gripped Europe, causing deadly accidents and travel chaos.  In the German capital Berlin, freezing temperatures have made the situation even worse for tens of thousands of households that have been affected by a widespread power outage since Saturday.  A suspected arson attack claimed by a left-wing group is thought to have knocked electricity offline, sparking questions over the vulnerability of Germany's wider infrastructure. 

Allen delivers the 2025 state of the wind industry. For the first time, wind and solar produced more electricity than coal worldwide. The US added 36% more wind capacity than last year, Australia’s market hit $2 billion, and China extended its 25-year streak of double-digit growth. But 2025 also brought challenges: the Trump administration froze offshore wind projects, Britain paid billions to curtail turbines, and global wind growth hit its lowest rate in two decades.

Let me tell you about a year of records and reversals of triumphs and a bunch of turbulence. First, the good news. Renewable energy has done something historic for the first time ever. Wind and solar produce more electricity than coal worldwide. The energy think tank embers as global electricity. Demand grew 2.6% in the first half of the year. Solar generation jumped by 31%, wind rose nearly 8%. Together they covered 83% of all new demand. Coal share of global electricity fell to 33.1%. Renewables rose to 34.3. A [00:01:00]pivotal moment they called it. And in the United States, turbines kept turning wood. McKinsey and the American Clean Power Association report America will add more than seven gigawatts of wind this year. That is 36% more than last year in the five year outlook. 46 gigawatts of new capacity through 2029. Even Arkansas by its first utility scale wind project online through Cordio crossover Wind, the powering market remains strong. 18 projects will drive 2.5 gigawatts of capacity additions over the next three years. And down under the story is equally bright. Australia’s wind energy market reached $2 billion in 2024 by. 2033 is expected to reach $6.7 billion a growth rate of nearly 15% per year. In July, Australian regulators streamlined permitting for wind farms, and in September remote mining operations signed [00:02:00] long-term wind power agreements while the world was building. China was dominating when power output in China is on track for more than 10% growth for the 25th year in a row. That’s right, 25 years in a row. China now accounts for more than 41% of all global wind power production a record. And China’s wind component exports up more than 20%. This year, over $4 billion shipped mainly to Europe and Asia, but 2025 was not smooth sailing, as we all know. In fact, global wind generation is on track for its smallest growth rate in more than 20 years. Four straight months of year over year. Declines in Europe, five months of declines in North America and even Asia registered rare drops in September and October. The policy wind shifted too in the United States. The Trump administration froze offshore wind project work in the Atlantic. The interior [00:03:00] Department directed five large scale projects off the East Coast to suspend activities for at least 90 days. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management cited classified national security information. That’s right. Classified information. Sure. Kirk Lippold, the former commander of the USS Coal. Ask the question on everyone’s mind. What has changed in the threat environment? Through his knowledge, nothing. Democratic. Governors of Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New York issued a joint statement. They called the pause, a lump of dirty coal for the holiday season, for American workers, for consumers, for investors. Meanwhile, in Britain, another kind of problem emerged the cost of turning off wind farms when the grid cannot cope, hit 1.5 billion pounds. This year, octopus Energy, Britain’s biggest household supplier is tracking it payments to Wind farms to switch off 380 [00:04:00]million pounds. The cost of replacing that wasted power with. Gas 1.08 billion pounds. Sam Richards of Britain remade called it a catastrophic failure of the energy system. Households are paying the price. He said, we are throwing away British generated electricity and firing up expensive gas plants instead. In Europe, the string of dismal wind power auctions also continued some in Germany and Denmark received no bids at all. Key developers pushed for faster permitting and better auction terms. Orsted and Vestas led the charge. And in Japan soaring cost estimates cause Mitsubishi to pull out of three offshore projects. Projects that were slated to start operations by 2030. Gone. The Danish shore Adapting Ted, the world’s largest offshore wind developer sold a 55% stake in its greater Chiang two offshore Wind Farm in Taiwan. The Buyer [00:05:00] Life Insurance Company Cafe, the price around $789 million. With that deal, Ted has signed divestments, totaling 33 billion Danish crowns during 2025. The company is trying to restore investor confidence amid rising costs, supply chain disruptions, and uncertainty from American policy shifts. Meanwhile, the International Energy Agency is sounding the alarm director, Fadi Beal says Solar will account for 80% of renewable capacity growth through the end of the decade. And that sounds about right. So it’s got a bunch of catch up to do, but policymakers need to pay close attention. Supply chain, security grid integration challenges and the rapid rise of renewables is putting increasing pressure on electricity systems worldwide. Curtailment and negative price events are appearing in more markets, and the agency is calling for urgent [00:06:00] investments in grid energy storage and flexible generation. And what about those tariffs? We keep reading about wood McKenzie projects. Tariffs will drive up American turbine costs in 2026 in total US onshore wind capital expenditure is projected to increase 5% through 2029. US wind turbine pricing is experiencing obviously unprecedented uncertainty. Domestic manufacturing over capacity would normally push down prices, but tariff exposure on raw materials is pushing them up. And that’s by design of course. So where does this leave us? The numbers tell the story. Renewables overtook Coal. America will install 36% more turbines. This year, Australia’s market is booming. China continues. Its 25 year streak of double digit growth, but wind generation growth worldwide is at its lowest in two decades. And policy reversals in America have stalled. [00:07:00] Offshore development and Britain is paying billions to turn off turbines because the grid cannot handle the power. Europe’s auctions are struggling and Japan’s developers are pulling back and yet. The turbines keep turning. You see, wind energy has had good years and bad years, but 20 25, 20 25 may be one of the worst. The toxic Stew Reuters called it major policy reversals, corporate upheaval, subpar generation in key markets, and yet the industry sees reasons to expect improvement changes to auction incentives, supply chain adjustments, growing demand for power from all sources. The sheer scale of China’s expansion means global wind production will likely keep hitting new highs, even if growth grinds to a halt in America, even if it stays weak. In Europe, 2025 was a year of records and reversals. The thing to remember through all of this [00:08:00] is wind power is low cost power. It is not a nascent industry. And it is time to deliver more electricity, more consistency. Everyone within the sound of my voice is making a difference. Keep it up. You are changing the future for the better. 2025 was a rough year and I’m looking forward to 2026 and that’s the state of the wind industry for December 29th, 2025. Have a great new year.

We welcome Moody's Mark Zandi, Moody's Chief Economist and one of the most influential and trusted macroeconomic voices shaping markets, policy, and business strategy worldwide. Zandi begins by explaining how today's consumer landscape is defined by a widening K-shaped economy—an income and wealth split decades in the making and now intensified by rising asset values and post-pandemic dynamics. Households at the top of the income spectrum are spending freely, while middle-class consumers remain pressured and those at the bottom struggle to keep up, borrowing to sustain purchases.Zandi also connects the affordability crisis to structural issues like housing supply, wage pressures, labor shortages, and the unpredictable impact of tariffs—which are simultaneously slowing job creation, lifting inflation, and clouding retailers' pricing strategies. He warns that delayed tariff pass-through may soon accelerate and that upcoming legal decisions could radically alter retail margins.Perhaps most striking is Zandi's analysis of AI's fingerprints on the labor market. He highlights rapidly rising unemployment among younger workers and the risk that productivity gains arrive faster than hiring can adjust—potentially tipping the economy toward recession just as retail faces profit pressure, concentration of growth among a handful of giants, and shifts in category performance.Before joined by Zandi, Steve and Michael dig into the retail headlines: strong BFCM e-commerce results , Buy Now Pay Later surging again, and evidence that AI-driven traffic is now materially influencing online demand. They examine the evolving performance of dollar stores, with Five Below delivering standout comps, the ongoing stampede to value, and whether the end of de minimis rules may reshape the bargain landscape.They then break down Macy's mixed but improving traction, tariff lawsuits led by Costco, and the broader retail question of whether top-line growth is increasingly profitless prosperity—a theme reinforced by margins squeezed across beauty, off-price, and specialty retail formats.In a quick recap of the most remarkable stories of the week Steve is stunned that Meta still invests heavily in the metaverse—even while shrinking budgets Michael questions whether defunct brands like Bed Bath & Beyond can meaningfully return in the Canadian retail market dominated by TJX, HomeSense, and IKEA.Expect the annual game of holiday discount chicken to intensify as promotions escalate, plus intriguing experiments like Netflix House in former department-store spaces—potentially hinting at new opportunities for mall real estate.

#666: In this First Friday economic update, we explore the paradox defining our current economy: record-breaking retail numbers alongside plummeting consumer confidence. In this First Friday economic update, we explore the paradox defining our current economy: we're spending more than ever, while feeling worse about money than we have in years. The Bureau of Labor Statistics hasn't released jobs data for two consecutive months. The Federal Reserve must make a critical interest rate decision flying blind. Meanwhile, private sector data reveals troubling trends. Small businesses are hemorrhaging jobs while discount chains like Dollar General see their stock prices soar 44%. Americans are spending differently this holiday season. They're shopping earlier, using AI to find deals, and turning to buy-now-pay-later options. Households are spending less than last year, yet total spending increases because more people are participating. This K-shaped recovery benefits luxury retailers and bargain stores while crushing the middle market. We also cover essential year-end financial moves. From maximizing retirement contributions to tax-loss harvesting strategies, we help you navigate your personal finances amid economic uncertainty. The disconnect between what the numbers say – and how people feel – reveals deeper truths about an economy that's technically growing while leaving many behind.

Proverbs 17:1–2 contrasts two powerful realities: the quiet strength of a peaceful home and the disruptive force of strife, even in houses filled with abundance. A single dry crust with peace is better than a feast soaked in conflict. And wisdom elevates a servant above a shameful son, showing that God honors character over position. In today's Morning Manna, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart uncover these timeless truths, calling listeners to cultivate peace, pursue wisdom, and recognize that God exalts the faithful—regardless of status or circumstance.
