Why the Federal Budget Deficit Could Trigger the Next Financial Crisis
No one wants to talk about the $1.8 Billion Federal Budget deficit - especially the two candidates running for president and their political parties. But, as Marc Goldwein of the Committee for a Responsible Budget warns, the interest costs alone to serve that debt are approaching 17% of government spending, which is more than we spend on defense, education and healthcare. Both presidential candidates are pushing policies that would only amplify that debt by trillions of dollars over the next decade, bringing with it inflation, high interest rates, a debt spiral and a massive devaluing of U.S. Treasuries. The debt matters, but don't tell Washington D.C.LINKS FOR SHOW NOTES:https://www.investopedia.com/warren-buffett-berkshire-hathaway-apple-stock-cash-pile-q3-2024-8738738https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.htmlhttps://advantage.factset.com/hubfs/Website/Resources%20Section/Research%20Desk/Earnings%20Insight/EarningsInsight_110124.pdfhttps://www.investopedia.com/what-to-expect-in-the-markets-this-week-8737801https://www.crfb.org/https://www.investopedia.com/presidents-and-their-impact-on-the-stock-market-4587369https://www.investopedia.com/what-economists-think-harris-trump-economic-plans-presidential-election-8700373 Learn more about your ad choices.

How to Have the Most Challenging Financial Conversations in Our Lives
We don't like talking about money - especially among family. But family finances are the most important finances in our lives, so breaking through those barriers can unlock a lot of opportunity and prevent a lot of stress down the road. Financial advisors Luis Rosa, Anna N'Jie Konte and Denise Zapata get up close and personal at the SER Latino Summit in La Jolla to talk about the most challenging conversations they have with their clients, how to break the cycle of debt, and how to teach the power of investing and compounding to communities that have little faith in the financial system.
