## Resource

This week on the podcast, two things happening at the same time that almost nobody is connecting. First, the new Fed chair's plan to quietly cancel $39 trillion in national debt -- and why a side effect of that plan is the single greatest gift your fixed-rate mortgage will ever receive. Then, a California ballot measure that just hit 52% in the polls and lays the framework for taxing what you already own -- your savings, your car, and the equity sitting in your house. Two stories, same playbook -- the system has decided where the money is coming from, and it's looking at you. Park your savings somewhere that actually keeps up with inflation -- the list of high-yield options Matt uses --> stackmybanks.com Pull equity out of your home without giving up your low rate -- the three-way breakdown --> houserichcashready.com
