The Fed just cut rates by 25 basis points.
Headlines make it sound like relief for borrowers—but the reality is very different. Mortgage rates aren’t falling. Credit cards are still 20%+. Lending standards remain tight.
So who really benefits? Washington. Lower short-term rates make it easier for the government to refinance trillions in debt, while Main Street feels little impact.
In this episode, I break down:
• Why a 25bp cut is more symbolic than substantial
• The myth about Fed cuts and mortgage rates
• How sticky inflation keeps pressure on households
• Who actually wins from this move (hint: not consumers)
Stay disciplined, don’t chase headlines, and understand the bigger picture of how policy impacts your financial reality.
