From the Fed to Fintech: Rates, Stablecoins, & Worry (7/19/2025)

Brian and Jeremiah cover what everyone's thinking: Why does the market feel fine if the public doesn't? They unpack the disconnect between bullish investors and frustrated consumers, and what the Fed's "higher for longer" stance really means for housing, inflation, and your portfolio. They also dive into a huge shift coming to our financial system—stablecoins. As Congress pushes new legislation to bring these digital dollar-backed assets into the mainstream, Brian and Jeremiah explain what it means for investors, the banking industry, and anyone tired of waiting 3 days for an ACH transfer. Other highlights this week: how regret can wreck a retirement plan, why cash isn't a long-term strategy, and how to avoid emotional investing traps that burned people during COVID-era markets.   Listen, Watch, Subscribe, Ask! https://www.therealmoneypros.com Host: Brian Wiley & Jeremiah Bates ————————————————————— SPONSORS: Guild Mortgage: https://guildmortgage.com Ataraxis PEO https://ataraxispeo.com Tree City Advisors of Apollon: https://www.treecityadvisors.com Apollon Wealth Management: https://apollonwealthmanagement.com/ Formations: https://get.formationscorp.com/real-money-pros —————————————————————
