Social Security Cuts, $1,000 Car Payments, and Bitcoin at $120K?!
This episode unpacks five money stories you need to know. First, we dive into why 2 million seniors are seeing their Social Security checks cut in half—many due to government errors—and what you can do if you’re affected. Second, President Trump’s announcement of 30% tariffs on the EU and Mexico has Wall Street on edge, with futures slipping and fears of higher consumer prices ahead. Third, we explore the new reality of car ownership as a record 1 in 5 buyers now commit to $1,000+ monthly payments, with loan lengths and interest rates hitting new highs. Fourth, Ferrero’s $3.1 billion acquisition of Kellogg’s reveals big moves in the breakfast industry—and why it matters to everyday brands. And finally, Bitcoin breaks a historic $120K milestone, driven by record ETF inflows and a potential regulatory breakthrough in Congress. Each story carries major money implications—don’t miss it.
