Tomorrow, Stephen Kovach will guess blog on Acrimoney. Here’s what he writes about what’s in store during our lifetimes.

Given that the average life span in the U.S. is approximately eighty years, this also means that the average U.S. citizen lives approximately one-fifth of his or her life under the economic hardships typically associated with a recession, such as high unemployment, inflation, and uncertainty about the safety of the money and investments that they entrust to financial institutions, many of which fail during severe financial crises.

Uh-oh.

Tomorrow, find out why Americans will live 20 percent of their lives under economic duress.

Stephen is the CEO of InvestAlytics, LLC, a firm providing investment-decision making tools and technology to investors and investment professionals seeking current income, growth, and trading opportunities.

Do you ever feel the financial news makes no sense? Do stories leave you with more questions than answers? I created Acrimoney to discuss Wall Street’s behavior behind the headlines. As a veteran of a wealth management business that exceeded $1 billion in assets, I offer insight into the people and the “doings” that affect your money. I’ll start the discussion. But I hope you’ll jump in and say what you think.
