This episode is the second in a series I am creating in response to questions for my viewers in Nashville Tn..  They wanted to know how do gig workers, self employed and small business owners save for money.  We have already discussed tracking income/expenses.  Now we are moving into spending plans and next will be savings.  

This is a discussion on how the bond market will be impacted by the interest rate cuts starting this month.  We hear alot about interest rate cuts and stock market, but the bond market will be changing as a result of the rate cuts.   TouchstoneFinancialEducation.com No Selling.  Just Education.

This one is a little long I know... but there is no way to short-cut an understanding on how the rate reduction will impact bond yields.  Not only do lower rates impact us as consumers and investors but as tax payers as well.  Thanks for listening.
