Interest Rates Freeze, Markets Get Hotter: What You Need to Know (8/9/2025)


Listen Later

This week, we break down what the Fed’s latest rate pause really means and why the market’s reaction isn’t always the full story. They dig into the ripple effects on mortgages, credit card rates, and borrowing costs, and talk about how “higher for longer” might stick around when it comes to interest rates.

The guys also tackle listener questions on everything from annuity pros and cons to the best time to start Social Security. Plus, they share why cash can be a dangerous long-term strategy, how to use volatility to your advantage, and why market pullbacks aren’t always bad news.

Whether you’re worried about inflation eating your savings, wondering how to invest in a weird market, or just trying to make sense of mixed economic signals, this episode is one to tune into.
