Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut timeline, investors remain optimistic, with over 74% of traders anticipating a rate cut by September. To navigate these uncertain financial waters, Founder and Head Lawyer of Tayne Law Group Leslie Tayne joins Wealth! to offer guidance on money management strategies.

Tayne highlights the significance of potential rate cuts for consumers, stating, "as a consumer, this is an important number." She notes two impacts: lower rates could stimulate borrowing, benefiting consumers seeking loans or mortgages. However, she cautions that savings like CDs and high-yield savings accounts will likely see less returns. Given this outlook, Tayne advises, "now might be the time to lock in those higher rates."

Recognizing the impact of interest rates on finances, Tayne stresses the importance of financial review: "You want to consider your budget at all different times, and a rate cut is a great time to re-look at your budget."
