Published: Nov. 29, 2023, 7 a.m.

b'These days, things feel more uncertain than ever. Take the economy, for example. By almost any objective measure, we\\u2019re doing much better economically than we were three years ago, but the vibes are\\u2026 off. So, what\\u2019s going on? For one, we\\u2019re still bouncing back from astronomically high prices due to inflation in 2021 and 2022. Mortgage rates are also at their highest levels in more than 20 years making it really difficult to buy a house.\\xa0\\nBut while all of this uncertainty in the world may feel bad, uncertainty itself isn\\u2019t necessarily a bad thing. Maggie Jackson, author of Uncertain: The Wisdom and Wonder of Being Unsure says making hard decisions when we really don\\u2019t know the outcome is actually really good for our brains. Listen in to hear how uncertainty is important to lean into when we\\u2019re deciding where and how to invest our money.\\xa0\\nJoin the HerMoney community!
