Peter Thiel warns US real estate ‘catastrophe’ will deal massive blow to young Americans, but boomers might get windfall
Yahoo Finance· 2025-12-27 21:27
Thiel connected growing prices to inflation, stating, “There's a way you could talk about inflation in terms of the prices of eggs or groceries, but that's not that big a cost item, even for lower-middle-class people. The really big cost item is the rent.”Though there is reason to believe that growth could be slowing down. A Reuters poll of property experts suggests that U.S. home prices will rise just 1.4% in 2026 (3). While that increase would be relatively minimal compared to the last few years, it’s nev ...
Why mortgage rates are stuck at 6.2% — and might stay there
Yahoo Finance· 2025-12-27 21:00
For weeks now, mortgage rates have barely budged. There’s a good chance they won’t move much in the new year either.

Those levels have been enticing enough to spark some gains in refinancing activity and homebuying in the fall, but are still elevated enough to keep many aspiring buyers priced out of the market. The recent stability at relatively high levels can be explained by the co ...
Will Social Security Cuts and Inflation Shrink Your Retirement Benefits? 4 Factors To Consider
Yahoo Finance· 2025-12-27 20:12
Social Security will continue to provide income for future retirees, but the amount you ultimately receive may look different than what appears on today’s statements. Current projections show that once the Social Security Trust Fund’s reserves run short in 2033, the program may only be able to cover about 77% of scheduled benefits unless Congress acts. Rising costs for retirees may also outpace the modest annual COLA increases. Simply put, if nothing changes, future retirees may only receive about three ...

A key expense for tens of millions of retired-worker beneficiaries offers no relief in the new year.In November, over 70 million people received a Social Security benefit, more than 53 million of whom are retired workers. For most of these retirees, Social Security income isn't a luxury -- it's a necessity.In 2023, Social Security lifted 22 million Americans above the federal poverty line (including 16.3 million adults aged 65 and over), which is more than any other social program.

Youtube· 2025-12-27 04:44

What exactly does that have significance towards with regard to not just the rate trajectory but the overall macro backdrop that the Fed's going to have to navigate in those two halves of the year. So here here's how I think about the new Fed chair.At the margin a dovish Fed chai ...
