Pencils Ready: Your Personalized Financial Stress Test
Tomorrow, government officials will reveal the results of so-called “stress tests” conducted on the nation’s largest banks. The tests analyzed the banks’ finances to see how they would hold up in a deep recession. In anticipation of the results, we invited two of our listeners to come on the show to undergo their very own financial stress tests with Gary Belsky, author of Why Smart People Make Big Money Mistakes and How to Correct Them. He’ll make some recommendations on the best ways to make sure they keep their heads above water, no matter what happens with the economy.
