If you’re a parent or grandparent thinking about your child’s long-term financial future, the new Trump accounts could be one of the most interesting tools to hit the market in years.

They’re not a replacement for 529 plans or Roth IRAs, but they offer something unique: the ability to start serious, tax-advantaged investing the day a child is born - without needing earned income.

An RMD is a minimum amount you must withdraw each year from most tax-deferred (non-Roth) retirement accounts after you reach your “RMD age.”

Think of it as the government saying: “You’ve had decades of tax deferral—now it’s time to start recognizing that income.”

The Federal Reserve cut interest rates again this afternoon, lowering the federal funds rate by 0.25% to a new range of 3.5%–3.75% - its third straight cut this year. The is the final rate decision for 2025, leaving one less catalyst on the table between now and the end of the year.

Why does this matter?

• Borrowing costs: Over time, today’s move can put gentle downward pressure on rates for things like credit cards, home equity lines, and some other short-term loans. It’s not an overnight change, but directionally it matters for households carrying debt. 

• Savings & income: If cuts continue, banks may eventually trim yields on savings accounts, CDs, and money markets. That makes it even more important for retirees and savers to be intentional about where their “safe money” lives.

• Markets & your plan: The Fed itself is split on what comes next, and there’s no clear consensus for 2026—some members want more cuts, some want to pause.  That uncertainty can translate into more market volatility in the short run, even if the economic outlook still calls for modest growth. 

Our view: your financial plan should not swing with every Fed meeting. Instead, this is a good moment to:

• Revisit your cash reserves and debt strategy

• Check whether your portfolio still lines up with your time horizon and risk comfort

• Make sure your retirement income plan assumes a range of interest-rate environments, not just today’s level

If you’re wondering what today’s decision means for your mortgage, savings, or retirement strategy, we’re happy to walk through it with you and adjust your plan as needed.

For over half a century, Equity Financial Group has remained proudly independent and family-owned. In a world dominated by corporate firms and call centers, here’s why that difference matters more than ever — especially when it comes to your financial future.

The Federal Reserve just announced the results of today’s FOMC meeting: a 10-2 decision to lower rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%–4.00%, marking the second cut of 2025. Two officials dissented—one favoring a larger 50 bps reduction, the other preferring no change—amid concerns over a softening labor market, moderating growth, and inflation that's edged up slightly but remains on a downward path overall. Chair Powell emphasized a data-dependent approach, noting that a December move "is not a foregone conclusion" given evolving risks.

Our 2025 FOMC outlook highlights no changes through July, followed by measured rate cuts starting in September—a -0.50% adjustment bringing the target range to 3.75%–4.00%, and another -0.25% step in October. December remains TBD as data evolves.

At Equity Financial Group, we’re here to guide clients through whatever lies ahead—whether it’s steady rates, gradual easing, or unexpected shifts—keeping your long-term goals front and center with personalized strategies and calm, informed perspective.
