Episode 98: Does the National Debt Actually Matter to Your Portfolio?
Thursday, 2 July, 2026

In this episode, President and Senior Financial Planner Paul L. Moffat and Director of Financial Planning Jordan Naffa examine one of the most discussed economic topics facing investors today: the growing U.S. national debt. With debt levels continuing to reach new highs, many investors wonder whether government borrowing should influence their investment decisions or long term financial plans.Paul and Jordan explain how the national debt has grown, why it matters, and how rising interest costs can affect the broader economy. More importantly, they separate legitimate economic concerns from media driven headlines and discuss why history has shown that markets can continue to grow through periods of rising debt, inflation, political uncertainty, and economic challenges.The conversation emphasizes the importance of focusing on what investors can control, including diversification, proper asset allocation, and maintaining a disciplined long term investment strategy rather than reacting to short term news cycles.In this episode:● How the U.S. national debt has grown over time● Why government debt matters and how it affects the economy● The relationship between debt, interest rates, and inflation● Why investors should avoid emotional decisions based on headlines● Historical market performance during periods of rising debt● The importance of diversification and proper asset allocation● Why long term planning remains the foundation of successful investing🌟Get in touch with us by clicking the links below!🌟Go to Aristawealth.com for other tools, tips, and resources.Website: https://www.aristawealth.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AristaWealth/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/arista-wealth-management/
