The Fed Raised Rates. Should You Change Your Financial Plan?

What should someone approaching retirement do after the Federal Reserve raises interest rates? Jake and Cory agree that a single Fed decision should not automatically cause someone to abandon a thoughtfully constructed financial plan. They disagree, however, about how much influence monetary policy has over inflation, consumer behavior, housing prices, and broader financial conditions. In this episode of Upticks, they discuss what higher rates can mean for borrowers and savers, whether retirees may be tempted to hold too much cash, why the Fed does not directly determine every consumer interest rate, and why long-term financial decisions should not depend on a short-term rate prediction. \--------------- Get your complimentary guide to retirement https://falconwealthadvisors.com/retiring-right-e-book.html?utm\source=libsyn&utm\medium=podcast&utm\campaign=rr\ebook   Get Jake's weekly blog https://falconwealthadvisors.com/notes-from-jake.html?utm\source=libsyn&utm\medium=podcast&utm\campaign=notes\from\_jake   Question for Jake and Cory?
