matt While most consumers do not feel very confident about their current financial situation, job prospects, or the overall economy the Fed feels that things are looking up. "For instance, the U.S. central bank was more upbeat about the real economy, citing "solid" growth "strong" Markets responded to these statements by turning slightly negative after having a mild day in the positive. The S&P turned negative along with oil prices as a side note, dropping below $44.50 a barrel. One thing that will be considered in the future as rate decisions are made will be international developments. International issues continue to develop each day with just a number of days ago the European Central Bank starting its own bond-buying. This was need to address economic weakness in the regions tied to the euro. With these statements from the Fed this causes many to believe that rate hikes will not be increasing for at least the next two policy meetings. If rates begin to raise by the middle of the year that puts us at nearly 6 years at nearly zero interest rates. For savers and the retired this is devastating since they have earned nearly nothing on their accounts for all these years. This has forced some to take dangerous risks by investing into the stock market which could further destroy their balances. Others have dramatically changed their lifestyles to accommodate the drops in their supplemental income.
