Money Geeks
61 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 2 years ago -Financial tyranny is perpetrated not by banks, corporations, government or technology, but by those of us who use money daily, yet fail to understand it. To refuse to inform yourself about the basics of the asset, is to passively accept this financial tyranny, agree to its terms and unknowingly turn your assets into liabilities. It is then that you allow your possessions to possess you. Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/moneygeeks/support

To be completely honest, this inversion has started before the rate hike, but it's now starting to deepen. Even with it, the Fed is planning to add additional 0.50% increase in May and I expect that we might see market crash as soon as this fall and as late as 2023. In today's episode we will cover what the issues with...

House Prices Going Down, Cost To Buy House Going Up... But HOW?
February 07, 2022 14:16 - 14 minutes - 13.8 MBAn interesting conundrum that we are seeing now is that home listing prices are starting to go down while the cost to buy a house is going up.
