In today’s episode of Retire in Texas, Darryl Lyons, CEO and Co-Founder of PAX Financial Group, explores a timely question: Is the economy actually doing better than we think?
While pessimism often dominates the news cycle, this episode highlights five key indicators that suggest economic resilience in 2025 - and what that means for long-term investors.
Darryl breaks down:
-Why employment trends may be stronger than they appear - even with recent layoffs.
-How recent corporate earnings from companies such as Nvidia, Microsoft, and Meta have been interpreted as signals of underlying strength.
-The real-world impact of AI in business and how it’s driving profitability and efficiency.
-What investors should understand about tariffs, trade policy, and global supply chains.
-How recent deregulation is giving companies room to grow and innovate.
If you’ve been wondering, “Should I still be investing right now?” or “What economic data actually matters?” - This episode offers thoughtful perspective.
Tune in to gain clarity, filter through the noise, and make informed decisions rooted in your values and the broader economic landscape.
