Aaron Ballard+FollowRefi Rates Drop—Worth a Look?Thinking about lowering your monthly bills? Mortgage refinance rates just dipped, with 30-year fixed rates now at 6.74%. That means if you’ve been holding off, you might save some cash by locking in a new rate. The catch? Lenders are still picky, so boosting your credit score and keeping debt low helps. If you’re not in a rush, experts say rates could fall even more later this year—so keep an eye out! #refinance #mortgagetips #moneysmart #RealEstate00Share
megan01+FollowWhy Your Mortgage Rate Just JumpedHeads up if you’re house hunting: mortgage rates are hovering around 6.8% right now, and they’re not dropping anytime soon. The reason? Wall Street is spooked by a new tax bill that could add trillions to the national debt, so investors are playing it safe. That means higher rates for us regular folks. Pro tip: don’t just grab the first offer—shop around with a few lenders to see who’ll give you the best deal. Even a tiny difference can save you big bucks over time! #mortgagerates #homebuying #moneysmart #realestate #personalfinance00Share
Charles Harmon+FollowIs Extreme Couponing Still Worth It?I was rewatching an old reality show where someone casually mentioned extreme couponing—you know, the kind where people get $500 worth of stuff for $20? That era felt so wild… and now, kind of mythical. It made me wonder: Is extreme couponing still a thing in 2025? Or did digital coupons, inflation, and store policy changes quietly kill it? I’ve been living more frugally these past few years—tracking expenses, buying secondhand, meal planning—and I’m always open to leveling up. But I haven’t heard of anyone doing serious coupon hauls in ages. Is it still possible to walk out of a store with a full cart and a nearly empty receipt? If you used to do it (or still do), I’d genuinely love to hear your experience. Was it worth the time? Is it more of a hobby or a lifestyle? And how has it changed? Let’s bring this legendary money-saving art back into the chat. #ExtremeCouponing #FrugalLiving #IsItStillWorthIt #CouponCulture #SaveMoreSpendLess #BudgetHacks #MoneySmart #OldSchoolSavings #ThriftyLife #ModernCouponing 20Share
Emily Rogers+FollowCould Retirees Finally Catch a Tax Break?Heads up if you (or your parents) are over 65: Congress is talking about a new bill that could double the tax deduction for seniors. With groceries, rent, and healthcare all getting pricier, this could mean more money stays in retirees’ pockets—potentially saving some couples over $2,000 a year. If you’re worried about stretching your retirement dollars, this is one to watch! #retirement #taxes #seniors #moneysmart #personalfinance #Finance114Share
