Consumer confidence sank 7.9 points in April to a reading of 86, the Conference Board said in its latest survey released Tuesday. That’s the lowest level since May 2020 and a larger decline than economists had projected. The survey’s Expectations Index, which captures people’s outlook on the economy, plummeted 12.5 points this month to 54.4, the lowest level in 13 years.
What's going on? Are people under the assumption that we might soon hit recession?
Americans aren't accustomed to so much uncertainty. It's part recession concern, part tariffs, part TDS, and part just vague unease.

We’ve been in a recession. Once the numbers show it, it’s usually over. Talk to someone making at or near minimum wage. How’s their rent been?

I definitely agree with this sentiment. Things are looking really rough out there right now.
I work in a fortune 500 company, and I can see spend drying up like I never have seen before. Stay humble, save your money and most importantly stack sats!

Real recession inbound. Inevitable.
