Your Success Is Not Up to Washington.

Waiting for someone else to fix it is not a plan.

Rates move. Policies shift. Every week there's a new headline about what Washington is doing and a fresh round of people yelling about it.

Yelling doesn't change your bank account. Paying attention can.

Recession Rebels is for people who've decided that no headline out of Washington gets to decide how their year goes. We don't pick sides. We read the news, figure out what could touch your money, and tell you what to look at. What you do with it is your call.

That's the whole point.

Inside every issue

• The headline, translated. One or two stories from the news in plain English. What happened, minus the spin.
• What it could touch. Where a change like this tends to show up: prices, interest rates, jobs, housing, small business costs.
• What to watch. Dates, signals, and decisions coming up that could move things.
• Things to consider. Questions to ask yourself or your own advisor. You will never read "buy this" or "sell that" here.
• Opportunity breakdown (some issues). A closer look at a business or investment opportunity: how it works, the risks, and the questions to ask before anyone takes your money.

Who's behind Recession Rebels

I'm Antonio Thornton, and I'm based in Atlanta. I've been in business since 1994 and built 13 businesses across 19 industries. That's long enough to see a few booms and a few busts up close.

I'm not your financial advisor, and this isn't financial advice. What I believe is this: the people who handle a rough economy best tend to be the ones paying attention early. Recession Rebels is me paying attention, out loud, so you can decide what to do with it.
