Stock Market Shocked by Fed Doing What Everyone Expected (5 minute read)
Let us spill the tea on what went down in the stock market yesterday – brace yourselves! The Fed pulled a real showstopper by doing... drumroll, please... absolutely nada. Yep, they stuck to their script, like a stubborn actor in a bad play, and kept the Fed Funds rate right where it was.

But here's the twist – they sprinkled some suspense in their language and even whipped out their trusty dot plot (like a secret treasure map) to hint that this is just a halftime show, not the grand finale of rate hikes. So, basically, they're saying, "Hold your horses, we're not done yet."

3 Signs You’re Too Casual About Debt (5 minute read)
Alright, let's chat about the telltale signs that you might be taking debt a little too casually:

  • Transforming Small Purchases into Troubling Debt: If those everyday splurges start stacking up on your credit card like a game of Jenga, watch out! When small purchases snowball into serious debt, it's time to rein in the spending.

  • Debt Shuffle Shenanigans: Using debt to pay off other debt might seem like a financial magic trick, but it's more like a slippery slope. If you're juggling credit cards to settle your debts, it's like robbing Peter to pay Paul, and it's not a sustainable solution.

  • Good Debt Gone Bad: Not all debt is created equal, right? That's true, but turning "good debt" (like a reasonable mortgage or student loans) into "bad debt" (reckless spending on luxuries) can be a risky game. Keep an eye on how your debt evolves, and make sure it's working for you, not against you.
