The Real Money Pros

Federal Layoffs, HSA’s, & European Politics (3/1/2025)


Listen Later

Brian Wiley and Jeremiah Bates break down the fiery Oval Office exchange between Trump, JD Vance, and Ukraine’s Zelensky. What led to the heated debate, and was Zelensky’s approach the right move? The hosts analyze the political and financial stakes—especially how Trump’s efforts to reshape foreign alliances could ripple through global markets.

Then, it’s all about preparing for the unexpected—federal worker layoffs are making headlines, and job security is a growing concern. If layoffs are looming, what should you do first? The guys cover essential strategies: avoiding costly 401(k) loan mistakes, using credit lines wisely, and ensuring your health and life insurance aren’t at risk.

In the second hour, they take a deep dive into Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), explaining why they’re one of the most underrated financial tools. Plus, listener questions tackle the taxability of life insurance, the Roth vs. traditional IRA debate, and smart diversification strategies.
