Predictions 2025
Enjoy predictions for this coming year for Americans.
The coming year ushers in a wave of change and reflection for many. As we've seen, community alone cannot resolve all challenges, and the nation remains in a state of unrest. You find yourself at a crossroads, perhaps seeking guidance. This reading offers a chance to illuminate your path and awaken new perspectives. As we step across the threshold into a new year, remember that insight often unfolds over time—you may only fully grasp its meaning in two weeks. Such is the nature of these readings: clarity often comes after reflection. If the weight of the news burdens you, consider opening yourself to a kinder, more hopeful way of perceiving the world. A spark of possibility can ignite the light within.
The year ahead will be defined by choices—both small and significant. No one can escape this reality. From minor decisions on your daily list to major ones about finances, homes, careers, and beyond, every choice will shape your path. Seeking guidance is crucial to avoid feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Hesitation can close the door to opportunities, so act with intention. Remember, while you may have envisioned a broader path, the journey unfolds one step at a time. Focus on the next step, not the entire road ahead.
For those advising large communities, addressing pending issues will require significant resources, including funding. The value of money has diminished, and short-term thinking dominates. Planning ahead is essential. Consider your accommodations, rentals, and properties carefully, as mortgages are increasingly unsustainable. The government is already observing the impact: outright purchases are rare, and nearly everyone depends on financing. However, securing a mortgage or loan has become more challenging than ever. Before buying, calculate your affordability realistically. If you can’t manage it, this may not be the year to make purchase decisions.
If you find yourself in debt, particularly owing taxes, it will be difficult to avoid repayment—every dollar will be accounted for. For those in the tech industry, financial recoveries may seem out of reach. However, if you plan to start a business, the potential for success is within your grasp.
If the pace of life has felt overwhelming this year, 2025 is likely to bring even greater demands. Each day will feel more intense, requiring focus and resilience. For those without stable means of support, seeking government assistance may be necessary. If you’re employed, it’s vital to save diligently, as financial security will be paramount.
Considering a move abroad? Be prepared for an eye-opening experience. The global landscape is shifting, and Americans may find it harder to gain attention or access. Borders may tighten, making travel and relocation challenging. This year, staying grounded and focusing on stability at home may be the wisest choice.
For many, simply working hard no longer guarantees success. The country’s economy has faltered—wages have stagnated while debt continues to climb. Our nation is in need of repair. Those who built the foundation of capitalism may not have fully considered its long-term sustainability, as a system reliant on debt alone cannot endure.
Financial literature often speaks of depression rather than recession, and the challenges we face now reflect that severity. While other nations find strength in economic growth, America struggles to maintain its position as a global leader. The days of being the world’s #1 economy are slipping away, as reliance on debt undermines stability.
If you’ve ever loved America, it was likely for its promise of freedom, opportunity, and prosperity. We were accustomed to thriving economies and abundant earnings. Today, the labor market shows little value for hard work, leaving many with limited resources. The wealth we once took for granted feels increasingly out of reach.
Shopping online often feels like a rip-off. Buying or selling a home comes with steep costs, and even starting a family can seem out of reach due to the expense. This is the reality of American life today. Every day, we purchase goods from countries like China and Vietnam, fueling their economies while ours struggles. Our own production has dwindled, leaving us reliant on imports. It’s a fragile situation, and it’s remarkable we’ve held on as long as we have.
This year offers a chance for a fresh start. Whoever steps into the White House will need to reevaluate and possibly dissolve foreign contracts that are no longer serving us. The focus must shift from volume to quality—prioritizing well-made, reliable products over cheap, mass-produced goods. Recent efforts to block substandard foreign imports have sparked clearer thinking about the issue. The question remains: why are so many low-quality, impure products allowed into our market? The standards for imports must rise to protect both consumers and the economy.
To break free from economic hardship, we must recognize that many long-standing foreign trade agreements have left us at a disadvantage. Signed decades ago, these deals have drained our economy, leaving us unable to sustain the relentless cycle of consumption. Opportunities have eroded, and our focus has shifted away from strengthening our own economy. Foreign nations are not here to support us—they seek only profits and access to our markets.
This year, we must clear our minds of agreements that have limited our potential and stop consuming low-quality, inexpensive imports that undermine our economy. We are now paying the price for greed. Those who championed outsourcing may have enjoyed its short-term gains, but the long-term consequences have backfired.
If you truly understand economic stability, you’ll see that living with less can be liberating. We don’t need an abundance of possessions to thrive. Every person already has enough, and moving away from excessive consumption is the key to a stronger future.
The concept of rampant spending didn’t originate in the U.S.; it was introduced by emerging "tiger" economies, who used consumption as a measure of success. And for a time, it worked for them. But we are a mature economy, and foreign models of economic growth no longer apply to our reality. The truth is, we’ve lost the battle to developing nations. Our unsustainable consumption is eroding our own industries.
Over the past decade, we've seen the collapse of 24 industries, unable to sustain themselves because they couldn’t compete with imported goods. Instead, foreign products dominated the market, leaving American-made goods in the dust. Today, we face the consequences: rising unemployment, declining wages, and a market flooded with inferior-quality products. The very spending that once seemed like progress is now draining our economic foundation.
Restoring a functioning economy will take time—at least ten years. We’ve lost sight of how to achieve true success. Behind closed doors, government discussions revolve around powerful lobbies and trade groups that have siphoned away our dollars, undermining our economic foundation.
But we are a great nation, and it’s not too late to turn things around. The key is simple: stop supporting foreign products. Instead, invest in and cherish American-made goods. This is the only path forward to reviving our economy and securing a brighter future for generations to come.
Happy Holidays!
