The Federal Reserve cut interest rates for the first time in 4 years. What does this big decision mean for families? Meghan Rabuse, the Family Finance Mom, joins the show again to help us answer this big question.  Also, Steven and Lauren Keys from Florida share how they built a millionaire net worth in their early 30s!

She shares simple money tips for moms to help their family reach their financial goals by building a financial plan they can LIVE with! GUEST BIO - Steven & Lauren Keys Lauren and Steven Keys became millionaires on five-figure salaries. By intentionally keeping their household expenses low after college graduation, they grew a buffer of cash and investments that freed them from work and enabled them to do some really fun stuff, like taking six months off to explore Hawaii and another seven months to travel to every National Park in the US. They retired from their full-time jobs at age 29, and now they’re hoping to help other people (like you!) do something similar.
