09/21/2026 Retire Right Radio with John Burdette

Ended up being a very

precedent show because shortly after that, the interest rates went up.

And we talked about that a little bit during when Dan was on last week.

So that was our special show last week.

John is back this week.

So taking your questions about how you can plan for your financial solvency in the future.

If you have any problems with how you're looking to plan for retirement, financial planning, budgeting, things along those lines, John can help you out or point you in the right direction.

Give us a call this morning at 304-345-5858.

John and I usually start off the show talking about kind of where things are right now.

It's been an interesting year for that sort of discussion.

So like I opened up the show with rates did go up last week.

So the Feds did raise the rates.

Yes, a quarter of a point, which there again, at the beginning of the year, we were talking exactly opposite of that.

So- When you see all these news stories, you can't – until it happens, you can't say, hey, this is what – this is how it's going to go down.

One thing happens and it creates another thing and it creates another thing and pretty soon the narrative changes.

And not only that, it's the – the new Fed chairman was supposedly going to be the guy that – To cut all the rates.

To cut all the rates.

We don't want to have any rates left.

We want to get rid of them all.

We'll see how that goes.

But it's – so it was a quarter point.

It wasn't a big move.

But the expectation now is for one more rate hike this year.
