You know that satisfying feeling of cancelling a subscription you forgot you were paying for? What if we told you there's one running right now... and it's costing you $275 a day.  With back-to-back rate hikes, a war in the Middle East, and consumer confidence at its lowest since COVID lockdowns, a lot of people have quietly hit pause on their financial future.  We call that the Fear Tax: the invisible, compounding cost of letting uncertainty keep you on the sidelines. We walk through every major crisis since 2001, what happened to property through each one, and why the most expensive thing you can do right now is nothing. See you on the inside.  --IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
