50-Year Mortgage: Game Changer or Gimmick? & the Key to Winning a 401(k) Wes Moss dives into the new 50-year mortgage, which he calls a gimmick but sees one potential benefit. Since ownership is key to financial security and the median home-buying age is rising, the concept of starting the equity journey sooner is good. However, Wes and Christa talk about a huge warning if you’re considering it. Also, Wes shares a powerful story about the key to winning your 401(k). The story illustrates a real-life outcome for many Americans, emphasizing how a few years' delay or a few percentage points of savings are huge variables that compound over time. Mentioned on the show: Is Robinhood Gold Worth It? The Key to a Winning 401(k) Plus, Christa shares your #AskWes questions and Wes gives his take.
