It’s no secret that retirement and expectations surrounding it have changed a lot over the years. Marion’s grandfather was one of the first to pay into social security when it came about during his working years. At the time, you could start collecting at the retirement age of 65 with the expectation that you wouldn’t live much longer since that was the life expectancy back then. It’s crazy to think how much things have changed over the last 90 years. Nowadays, people are still expecting to retire

We’re here to bust that myth because that’s not really what we do at Freedman Financial.

Welcome back to another episode of Dollars & Sense with your hosts Marc and Marion. There’s been a lot of speculation surrounding the 2 pm Fed Meeting today (1/31/24) and whether they’re going to lower interest rates. Our guess as well as most analysts out there, is that they will not be lowering interest rates – at least for now. However, word on the street suggests there could be up to four rate cuts this year. That’s important because essentially the 10-year Treasury Bond is priced off
