This week, mortgage rates are top of mind as we discuss where they’re headed in 2025 and how the bond market is influencing lending rates. Guild Mortgage’s Dave Perry joins the show to break down home-buying strategies in today’s high-rate environment.

Next, we explore how interest rate trends could impact your investments and borrowing power. The Federal Reserve’s latest stance suggests a “wait and see” approach—so what does that mean for markets and your portfolio?

Finally, the recent elimination of the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and Government Pension Offset (GPO) could mean thousands more in benefits for certain retirees. We discuss what this means, who qualifies, and why you need to prepare for potential tax implications.
