Henssler Money Talks — January 18, 2025

Henssler Money Talks — January 18, 2025  
Season 39, Episode 3  

This week on "Money Talks," Director of Research Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, is joined by Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, to examine the week’s market performance, looking at inflation indicators, the Producer Price and Consumer Price indices. The team analyzed interest rates and their impact on the evolution of starter homes, highlighting how these once-accessible gateways for Americans to enter the real estate market are disappearing. In this week’s case study, the financial experts debated the Financial Independence, Retire Early movement, a lifestyle approach focused on aggressive saving, investing, and frugality to achieve financial independence and retire significantly earlier than traditional retirement age. The team wrapped up the show with personal predictions on the themes that might shape 2025.
