The boys start the show right off the bat with a commonly asked about mortgage hack that will actually save you a whole lot of money. The problem is that it isn't really something too many people actually do. It requires discipline, planning and making sure your bank applies the payments correctly. The rest of the episode is spent diving in to the Fed and their rate cut paradigm. By all outward measures, the FOMC should take a victory lap in that they have gotten inflation back in line while employment remains strong according to the data. You do know that Chris, Saied and Haroon already don't trust the jobs reports though. Episode 219 of The Higher Standard brings you a lot to think about as far as what may come for the economy and how to plan for your financial future. Also, Chris needs to stop doing drugs, he thinks he can take The Rock.
