This week on Henssler Money Talks, we're cutting through the noise to focus on the financial issues that could have the biggest impact on your decisions.
We begin with a look at the latest market headlines—from CPI data and the start of earnings season to Federal Reserve testimony on inflation and uncertain progress in the U.S.–Iran ceasefire.

Then we answer a listener’s question many homeowners are asking: If you’ve locked in a 3% mortgage, should you stay put or move anyway? Sometimes the best financial decision isn’t the right decision for your lifestyle.

We'll also revisit some of the financial advice that has become accepted as fact and discuss how changing markets, interest rates, and modern lifestyles have challenged some of the guidance investors have heard for decades.

Finally, we'll examine why Ponzi schemes continue to fool investors, the warning signs to watch for, and practical steps you can take to help avoid becoming a victim.

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice, a seasoned communicator and host, on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
