  • First Friday: Jobs Are Cooling, Prices Are Climbing, and NYC is Freezing the Rent

    First Friday: Jobs Are Cooling, Prices Are Climbing, and NYC is Freezing the Rent
    Jul 3 2026
    #729: The U.S. added 57,000 jobs in June. Economists expected 115,000. Meanwhile, inflation hit a three-year high. The Personal Consumption Expenditures index - the Fed's favorite inflation gauge - jumped 4.1 percent year-over-year. That combination creates a problem. Weak jobs usually push the Fed to cut rates. Hot inflation pushes them to hike. In this First Friday episode, we break down which way the Fed might lean at its September meeting, and why traders see an 80 percent chance rates stay frozen for now. We also dig into Kevin Warsh's debut as Fed Chairman. His first official statement ran only 132 words, one of the shortest in Fed history. He cut forward guidance – the practice of making guesses about what the Fed will do next. He removed the names of dissenting voters. His statement mentioned price stability but skipped maximum employment, and we explain why that omission matters. Central banks around the world moved in the opposite direction. The European Central Bank raised rates for the first time since 2023, responding to a 10.9 percent surge in energy prices. The Bank of Japan hiked rates to their highest level in 31 years. Australia, Norway, Indonesia, the Philippines and Israel joined in. Brazil was the only country to cut rates – down to 14.25 percent. We cover China's consumer spending decline, the first since the pandemic ended, driven by a 16.1 percent drop in auto sales and a real estate crash that drained middle-class wealth. We end the episode with a deep dive into NYC's rent freeze – who gets the benefit, and who pays the price? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Q&A: What $2.4 Million at 37 Actually Looks Like (It's Not What You Think)

    Q&A: What $2.4 Million at 37 Actually Looks Like (It's Not What You Think)
    Jun 30 2026
    #728: What do you do when you suddenly have $850,000 and no idea what to do with it? GET TOTAL CLARITY ON WHERE EVERY DOLLAR BELONGS 👉 https://affordanything.com/cornerstone On today’s Q&A, one caller recently inherited $850,000 from his mother. He's already wealthy, earns over $500K a year, and has a solid net worth — but he's anxious, lost, and doesn't want to make a decision he can't undo. Paula and Joe walk him through exactly what they'd do. Then, a federal law enforcement officer responds to Jane from episode 722. He pushes back on our diagnosis of her stress — and makes a compelling case that it's not the mandatory retirement age that's the problem. It's the minimum. He shares how he's survived the final stretch of a career he no longer loves, and what he'd tell Jane about the years she still has ahead. Finally, a caller who is pregnant, recently promoted, and about to have a very hard conversation with her employer. She wants to go part-time after maternity leave — but HR is bureaucratic and the stakes are high. When should she ask? How should she ask? And should she be saving differently right now just in case they say no?

    727: Not sure what your next money move should be? Start with the free FiiRE Playbook 👉 https://affordanything.com/fiire Dr. Julia Garcia is a psychologist, behavioral researcher, and author of The Five Habits of Hope — and she's spent years studying why smart, hardworking people stay stuck. What if the biggest thing standing between you and your financial goals isn't your income, your debt, or the housing market — but your own brain? I sat down with Dr. Garcia to unpack the neuroscience of hope, why apathy is more dangerous than despair, and the five habits that can rewire your brain — and your relationship with money — for good. (00:00) Hope is not a feeling — it's a cognitive process (05:00) The real reason you can't save money (it's not imposter syndrome) (08:11) Hopelessness vs. despair — and why the difference matters (13:05) The biggest danger isn't despair — it's apathy (21:10) How avoiding feelings leads to avoiding financial decisions (23:45) The "maybe" technique that interrupts negative thought loops (39:26) Habit 2: Risk — why comfort is killing your courage (54:59) Habit 4: Receive — why you can't hold onto wealth you don't feel worthy of (01:01:41) Habit 5: Repurpose — seeing worth where others see waste __________ 🎧 NEVER MISS AN EPISODE Apple Podcasts: https://affordanything.com/applepodcasts Spotify: https://affordanything.com/spotify __________ 🤗JOIN OUR PRIVATE COMMUNITY: https://affordanything.com/community 🤗STAY IN THE LOOP: https://affordanything.com/newsletter __________ 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES: Check out The 5 Habits of Hope, a book by Dr. Julia Garcia - https://amzn.to/4oUzoRj Dr. Garcia’s Bio - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjuliagarcia __________ 👀 WATCH THIS VIDEO NEXT: https://youtu.be/TdiyOHkAGiY __________ 👋 SAY HI ON SOCIAL: Facebook: https://facebook.com/affordanything Instagram: https://instagram.com/paulapant X: https://x.com/affordanything #FinancialPsychology #BehavioralFinance #MoneyAndMindset #FinancialGoals Watch the video of this episode https://youtu.be/hx1fJcok6Mk Learn more about your ad choices.
