In this week’s Ask Farnoosh, we’re diving into your money questions and breaking down the big headlines.
First up: What the Trump-backed budget bill could mean for your wallet. Farnoosh unpacks the Congressional Budget Office’s $2.4 trillion deficit projection and explains how the proposed tax cuts and spending reductions may impact interest rates, government programs, and your future taxes.
Then, in the mailbag:
- Is the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement right for you? Farnoosh shares her personal take and how she’s pursued financial freedom—without traditional retirement.
- How to create a gift-giving strategy that feels generous and sustainable, plus tips for teaching kids to be kind and money-wise.
- And: Adding bonds to your investment portfolio—why they matter, how to buy them, and how to hold them in your retirement account.
