Welcome to the Friday Five, the Five pieces of financial information you need to know going into the weekend.
1. China’s great reopening – pro-business moves and zero covid policies are lifted – what gives and what does it mean? Read this interesting interview with Anne Stevenson-Yang here.
2. Zero spend year – for the past fourteen plus years we have been given signals (think stimulus, stock market growth, low-interest rates, etc) to grow – grow ourselves, our wallet share, our businesses, our portfolios. Now the world is shrinking – what does that mean? It means we are playing by a completely new set of rules, which means we should change. One of the ways we are thinking about this is doing a no spend challenge. You can make the rules what work for you and your family but here is one of our favorite articles about a no spend year: The Ultimate Guide To A No-Buy Year.
