#269 Money news in human words; FTX collapse, rates to 6.6%, market surge & US inflation

In this week's Money news in human words, I unpacked what's going on in the headlines so that you'll know what it means for your money and investments. I've covered the share market surge we've seen in the last week, some favourable US inflation data, how the NASDAQ closed the week up almost 10% in just two days, and what it means for investors at the end of the year. Also, I talked about home loans peaking at 6.6% in Australia based on our inflation data, how mortgage owners can prepare, how the super-rich buy a property and the option for stamp duty versus land tax for first home buyers as well as covering in detail the FTX collapse and how investors have been left holding a billion-dollar bag there. This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to understand the headlines and what it actually means for their money and investing.     Want to make smarter money moves and get ahead faster?    Upcoming events: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/ben-nash-pivot-wealth-34379655697   Learn more about Pivot Wealth: https://pivotwealth.com.au/   Check out Ben's book, Get Unstuck: https://www.getunstuckbook.com.au/   Check us out on socials:    TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bentalksmoney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pivotwealth/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/BenNashPivot Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pivotwealth/ Chat about how Pivot Wealth can help with your money: https://calendly.com/ben-nash-pivot/podcast-intro-chat    Note: The advice shared on this podcast is general in nature and does not consider your individual circumstances.
