💰️ American Consumers Still Spending

The Fed just cut rates another quarter point yesterday, marking an aggregate 0.75% rate cut since Sept. 17.

The move came in part because of a weakening labor market. Layoffs and unemployment are inching up and employees are clinging to the jobs they have instead of switching willy-nilly.

However, don’t worry too much about the economy. American consumers showed out during Thanksgiving weekend, with 202.9 million of us going shopping. That’s far above a forecasted 186.9 million.

In other words, there’s still plenty of money sloshing around the American economy.

Mortgage rates are now starting to fall due to current market forces and a slowdown in the economy. If you bought a home when rates were high, you may have an opportunity to refinance now, but it only makes sense if you fit a specific criteria. Also, as giant banks continue to consolidate and seek new ways to charge fees, Clark discusses the trend of "soft switching." Since mega banks are not your wallet's friend, more people are gradually moving their money to smaller, more personal, or online institutions. It’s a gentle way to protect your wallet and escape banking abuse without the hassle of closing all your accounts at once.
