A podcast where NerdWallet experts answer real-world financial questions, empowering listeners to work toward their goals faster and manage their money smarter¹. Each episode covers a variety of topics, from practical money management tasks to choosing a budgeting app. The hosts, Sean Pyles and Sara Rathner, also share feedback and constructive criticism from listeners. The podcast aims to cut through the clutter and misinformation of today’s economic news and advice, helping listeners make the most of their personal finances.

Learn how the Fed’s interest rate cuts may affect your loans, savings, and investments, as well as what to do about refinancing.

How could interest rate cuts affect credit card debt? Will it be easier or cheaper to get a mortgage or auto loan with interest rates going down? Is now a good time to refinance? Hosts Sean Pyles and Anna Helhoski break down how the Federal Reserve’s expected interest rate cuts could impact your finances. They discuss the potential impact on credit cards, mortgages, and savings accounts, as well as how these changes might influence borrowing and investing decisions. Then, Sean and Anna cover some of the top money headlines from the past week, including the latest inflation figures, household income trends, and new developments in student loan servicing following the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s lawsuit against Navient, formerly known as Sallie Mae.
