The Fed cut rates… again. And somehow mortgage rates said, “nah, we're good.” This episode starts where most headlines stop—why markets stopped believing the Fed, why the 10-year Treasury is doing its own thing, and why this might be the last cut anyone feels confident about for a while. We say the quiet part out loud: inflation isn't dead, liquidity is sneaking back in, and the bond market is signaling something policymakers don't want to admit yet. Translation: the economy is being held together with optimism and FOMO.➡️ Then we zoom out to the part no spreadsheet can explain—why people feel broke, burned out, and behind even when they're “doing everything right.” Layoffs are rising, AI is cutting jobs under the banner of “efficiency,” home prices are slipping, and yet everything still feels more expensive. We talk career minimalism, side hustles, and the realization hitting a lot of Americans: you're the CEO of your household now, whether you asked for the job or not. The system didn't break overnight—but it's asking more from you than it's giving back.

A mortgage advisor is joining the Finance Minister in urging banks to slash home loan rates. Nicola Willis is asking them to pass on “as much as possible” in the wake of the Reserve Bank cutting the Official Cash Rate to 2.25%. She says the banks have a stake in the economy, and passing the cuts on will make a significant difference. Loan Market Mortgage Advisor Bruce Patten told Mike Hosking the banks are holding onto some really good margins at the moment. He says he'd like to see them pass them on before Christmas – everyone needs it, so someone needs to make the move. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is Trump's new proposed 50-year mortgage just savvy economics… or a dangerous move that will cripple American families for generations? In this episode, Steven and Mark break down Trump's most talked-about financial ideas — from extended mortgages to 15-year car loans — and evaluate them through a biblical lens of stewardship, debt, and generational impact. But we don't stop at economics. We also examine Trump's own words about faith, repentance, and salvation to ask an honest question: What does he actually believe about God? Not what pundits say. Not what the media spins. What he says. In his own words. By the end, you'll have a clear, biblical framework for evaluating both a leader's money philosophy and their spiritual claims — without falling for hype, fear, or personality cults. If you want to lead your home with discernment in a chaotic election season… this one's for you. About Abraham's Wallet: Abraham's Wallet exists to inspire and equip Biblical family leaders.

In this episode, we take a close look at the growing complexity of legislation in the age of artificial intelligence and how longer, denser bills create new incentives for politicians to hide provisions that voters would never spot on their own. We also examine the Trump administration's new visa rules, including the unexpected decision to classify obesity as grounds for denial, and what this says about public policy and shifting cultural norms. We analyze Trump's proposal for $2,000 tariff-funded checks and the Supreme Court case that could unravel the entire tariff structure, followed by a deeper dive into the real economics of trade, revenue, and political incentives. We finish with a look at the housing market, the push for 50-year mortgages, and why extending loan terms does little to address the underlying supply constraints driving home prices and unaffordability. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:28 The Future of Legislation in the Age of AI 08:07 No Visas for Obese People 12:12 Foolishness of the Week: $2,000 Checks for All Americans 19:40 Trump's Political Gambit 22:35 Budget Deficits and the Myth of Tariff Revenue 28:13 The Housing Affordability Crisis 31:16 Mortgage Rates, Down Payments, and Lending Standards 35:56 The 50-Year Mortgage Proposal and Its Real Costs 45:08 30-Year vs 50-Year Mortgage Interest Rates 51:51 Are Tiny Homes the Solution? 53:50 How Politicians Could Implement 50-Year Mortgages 56:17 The Role of Banks in the Lending Business 57:18 What Mortgages and Loans Allow 01:03:20 Predictions for 50-Year Mortgages 01:07:01 Is Inflation Falling? 01:09:19 Conclusions on Mortgages and Lending 01:13:06 James's Personal Mortgage Story 01:15:41 The Problems with Higher Education and Student Loans Learn more about your ad choices.

The Fed cuts rates, and mortgage rates go up. Then they do it again, and rates…go back up. How does this keep happening? Has the Fed lost complete control over mortgage rates? The Fed has now cut rates twice in 2025, and we're hovering around the same (if not slightly higher) mortgage rates as before the first cut. After last week's rate cut announcement, investors were surprised to see that mortgages—once again—got even more expensive. But it's not because of what the Fed did—it was because of what they said, potentially foreshadowing a slower, longer path back to 5% mortgage rates. Dave is on to explain why mortgage rates moved in the opposite direction, why we could be stuck with higher mortgage rates for longer, and the two things that need to happen for mortgage rates to break back into the 5% range. Plus, he'll share three realistic scenarios that could cause rates to move in different directions and what could trigger each. The Fed meeting announcement explained and why mortgage rates went up The real reason why we're not seeing mortgage rates fall below 6% Alarming corporate layoffs and whether this is a warning sign for the entire economy Some good/bad news about inflation and the cities that are faring the worst Three likely mortgage rate scenarios that could send rates in different directions, without the Fed making moves And So Much More!

News stories were mixed last week so watch LPL's Chief Economist, Dr. Jeffrey Roach break it down with reasons why China reneged, the dollar strengthened, and some consumer rates fell. Tracking: #820123
In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke reports on the latest data from the National Association of REALTORS®. Existing-home sales climbed 1.5% in September as mortgage rates eased, helping affordability and bringing more buyers back into the market. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun says improving conditions are giving the housing market new momentum — and that could create fresh opportunities for investors as demand rebounds.
