#794: Two Cents 8/22 - When is the next recession?; Invest or Gamble?; Lifetime Cost of a Dog

Welcome to Dentist Money Two Cents, a look at the latest financial and economic news from the past week.


On this episode of Dentist Money's Two Cents, Matt and Taylor take a look at the numbers behind recessions over the past 30 years and explore the potential reasons behind why they've become shorter and less frequent, even as bear markets continue to show up regularly. They unpack the recent data comparing how different generations view gambling versus traditional investing and why investors sometimes sit on the sidelines for too long. Finally, they break down the surprisingly high cost of owning a dog, how it compares to raising children, and why building a financial plan around your priorities matters more than optimizing every decision on a spreadsheet.
