Ferenc Toth is founder of Your Personal Bank TM. He is passionate about helping people gain control of their money, create tax-favored income, and having access to more funds over their lifetime! Ferenc is a voice for common sense. He cuts through the noise to help us understand how current events affect our money, economy, and our freedom.

The long term savings rate for Americans is about 4% of annual income. Americans accumulated $2.3 Trillion of excess savings in August 2021 primarily due to government pandemic stimulus.

This excess savings has allowed consumer spending to remain strong for the past 3 years. Consumer spending accounts for about two-thirds of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).

Consumer spending has been the lone bright spot in the economy and likely has prevented a recession so far.

Consumer spending is weakening. Americans’ savings are now below pre-pandemic levels. Credit card debt is at record highs.

Many Americans are using savings and debt to pay for basic expenses. The American consumer is struggling.

This is likely the last straw that will lead to recession.

You can invest in high cash value Your Personal Bank TM policies that are insured, with guarantees, income tax-free, highly liquid, and likely to increase returns for the next 5-10 years!

I believe we are in for a chaotic year and a bumpy economic ride this year. It would be wise to protect your assets. Diversify. Reduce your risk. Reduce your tax liability. Increase returns safely. Increase liquidity to take advantage of future opportunities.
