We're all curious as to what the Fed's going to do with rates. On this episode we attempt to tackle this burning question. We start by retracing the economic journey since 2021, exploring how post-COVID inflation surged to 9% and prompted the Fed to raise interest rates aggressively. Despite these higher borrowing costs impacting mortgages, auto loans, and credit cards, our economy has shown remarkable resilience, thanks to a strong labor market and hefty savings. Now, with inflation reduced to around 3.4%, we evaluate whether the Fed's measures have been effective and consider the potential benefits and risks of a rate cut.

Join us for a dive into the Federal Reserve's potential strategies amid recent economic trends.

When my cousin casually mentioned he didn't have life insurance for his non-working spouse, it sparked an important conversation. This episode is a must for anyone that underestimates the economic value of a stay-at-home partner. 

Don't let the absence of a salary fool you into thinking there's an absence of value; we break down the cost of replacing those day-to-day tasks and why ensuring both partners are insured is a cornerstone of prudent financial planning. 

We discuss practical methods to calculate life insurance needs without overlooking the irreplaceable role of the partner at home.
