Second, they result in reduced interest rates on debt, potentially allowing individuals to save more on their borrowings. For those with high-yield savings accounts, Baker advises careful consideration of financial needs before making any changes to investment strategies. […]

Christine Benz, Morningstar director of personal finance and retirement planning, joins Wealth! to discuss how you can best plan for retirement. “As retirement approaches, as you hit the threshold of maybe age 50, start putting pen to paper about how you think your budget may change in retirement because inevitably it will change a little bit. You may have fewer commuting costs. You may not need clothes to go into the office. So take a hard look at that.

Why another 50 bps cut from the Fed is ‘unrealistic’
