Recent stock market volatility has many Americans worried for their retirement funds. Entrepreneur and millionaire real estate investor Grant Cardone, on the other hand, said not to worry. Cardone was on Fox’s “The Ingraham Angle” recently and said “Donald Trump has Plan A, one plan: Make America Great Again. There might be a contraction temporarily, but it’s good times ahead for the American families.”
Not all financial experts agree with Cardone’s sentiment. GOBankingRates reached out to two authorities on finance who had differing thoughts when it came to the future of American prosperity — below is what they said.
Financially, What Can Americans Expect in the Next Year?
Cardone insisted that Trump’s current negotiations with other countries and decisions around tariffs will lead to a more fruitful fiscal future for Americans. Joseph Camberato, CEO of NationalBusinessCapital.com, agreed with Cardone. He said Trump knows what he’s doing and the country will eventually be better off.
“The economy has weathered many swings due to tariffs, but if the trade deals get finalized and there are no signs of meltdowns on the horizon, we will get back to a high-growth economy,” he added. “If things keep trending the way they are, I think we’ll see a real bounce-back in the second half of the year.”
But what about now, as Americans are struggling to pay for goods because of the tariffs or losing money in the stock market? Aaron Razon, personal finance expert at Couponsnake, said the financial uncertainty Americans are experiencing right now is going to have consequences before it levels out.
“Frankly speaking, it’s hard to agree with Cardone’s sentiment about the American economy, especially not with the way things are looking right now. The way I see it, if good times are truly ahead for American families, then it’s way far ahead,” he said. “They should expect inflation to remain stubbornly high because it’s only realistic with tariffs and other economic factors at play and as the economy potentially starts to grow at a moderate pace as predicted, families can also expect a resilient job market and interest rate adjustment.”
What Smart Money Moves Can Americans Make Now?
For American families that are worried right now, Razon said the best thing they can do is stay vigilant. Don’t make any sudden moves and wait before making any big financial decisions. “By balancing hope with caution in their financial decisions, Americans would be able to guarantee that they don’t go off celebrating prematurely or make rash decisions that would give them reasons to regret,” he explained.
Camberato was more optimistic — he said the news shouldn’t sway anyone from making investments. “Bet on America. Keep investing, keep building and don’t get distracted by short-term headlines. The best is yet to come,” he added.
