📰 On this week's episode of Minds Over Money, I go over 3 headlines from last week that directly impact the economy as well as potentially impacting your own investment portfolio. [11:24] And this week’s financial planning topic is Avoid an Aimless Retirement. 🎯

🎟️ [0:49] The first headline, “What the $1.3 Billion Mega Millions Jackpot Reveals About the Economy”, is an article that explores the correlation between an uptick in lottery ticket sales, outsized lottery jackpots, and economic uncertainty.

💻 [3:41] The second headline, “Direct to Consumer Sales are Fueling Supply-Chain Tech Growth”, discusses how the boom in direct-to-consumer sales, in large part due to shifting shopping trends resulting from Covid-19, is providing supply-chain tech companies fertile grounds for growth.

📈 [7:04] Our final headline, “Snapshot of Jobs Market as It Reaches Pandemic Recovery Milestone” is a deep dive into the current jobs market as it has recently gained back all of the 22 million jobs that it shed at the beginning of the pandemic, the recovery has not been even for all industries.

Hope you enjoy it!
