Inflation just hit 3.7%, and gas prices did most of the damage. ⛽

Here’s the September CPI picture:
📈 Inflation rose from 3.4% in August to 3.7%
⛽ Gas prices jumped 9.1% in a single month
🔍 Core inflation (excluding food and energy) sits at 2.6%
📊 More than half of CPI categories are running above 3%

So should it change how you invest?

The bigger concern isn’t one month’s number. It’s the trend. Stocks aren’t directly tied to inflation or interest rates, but a sustained inflation trend could raise the risk of a recession, and recessions are what tend to weigh on markets.

In the meantime, money you expect to need within the next 10 years may belong in more conservative investments, which could even benefit from today’s higher rates.

The Fed just raised rates for the first time since 2023. So who pays, and who gets paid?

Credit card balance or home equity line? Those rates tend to rise almost right away.

Fixed-rate mortgage? Nothing changes. Your payment stays put.

Savers and retirees may come out ahead, with yields on savings accounts, CDs, and money market funds tending to rise after a hike.

This is not 2022. Inflation was over 9% then and is around 3.5% now.
Do not panic. Plan. 🧭

Brokerage account or advisory account: Do you actually know the difference in how you're paying for it? 🤔

Think of it like this: a brokerage account is like buying a movie outright. Pay once, own it, no ongoing charges. An advisory account is more like a streaming subscription — a recurring fee for ongoing access and active management.

Neither is "better." It just depends on your goals, your timeline, and how hands-on you want your advisor to be.

We break down what you're really paying for (and why) in our latest blog.

Wondering what you're actually paying for? GenWealth explains brokerage vs. advisory account fees in plain, straightforward terms.

$40 trillion in national debt. A 19-year high in Treasury yields. Sounds like panic, right?

Nobody told the bond market.

$183 billion sold across three auctions this week — and demand held strong. No stuck bonds. No weak auctions. The MOVE Index, the market's own fear gauge, just hit its lowest point all year.

This isn't a crisis. It's investors betting on the long game.
