When The Talking Heads released Once in a Lifetime in 1980, the world backdrop was anything but calm. Inflation was high, recession fears were real, and uncertainty seemed to be everywhere. More than four decades later, the feeling is familiar — and it has us singing, same as it ever was.

And you may ask yourself, “Well, how did I get here?”

Maybe your concerns are rising prices, the impact of AI on jobs, or tensions over oil production and trade. The details may differ, but the pattern is not new. Fear rises, uncertainty lingers, and the temptation to question everything can be strong. Even so, history has shown that markets can endure disruption over time.

When it comes to your money, keeping your mantra “same as it ever was” can sometimes be a strength. I’m here to help you keep working toward the life you want to create. Enjoy!
