Since the two year pandemic and the Ukraine and Russia war, this has taken an adverse effect on the world. People quitting their jobs, gas prices skyrocketed, rent drastically increased, gasoline, retail goods and services drastically increased along with wages remaining the same.

Reports show that this will not be an overnight recovery, it took two years of record low interest rates to land where we are at today in 2022.
