Money Matters with Wes Moss (B)

On today’s show, co-host, producer, and new Uncle Jeff Lloyd joins Wes in the studio. They toss out the pumpkins, string up the holiday lights, and examine the abundance of recent market highs. For perspective, they chart market returns dating back to William McKinley in 1896. Next, they delve into the housing market and discover an eye-popping statistic. But, they point out that some good news may be on the horizon.

Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Treasury is preparing to unleash roughly $700 billion from its general account (TGA) into the economy. This cash injection could possibly lead to lower treasury bond yields, which could potentially help to lower mortgage rates. Finally, Wes describes the details of a retirement life map a happy retiree recently showed him and how her willingness to daydream and plan with discipline helped her retire without regrets.
