June 28, 2025: One Big Bill, One Big Mid-year Check-In, and One Big Hassle

This week, we dive into Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping piece of legislation packed with bold promises: historically large tax cuts, rising wages, lower spending, tougher border security, and protections for Medicaid. We unpack what’s actually in the bill—and how it could affect your paycheck, your benefits, and the broader economy.

Over the weekend, the U.S. launched an aerial strike on three major nuclear sites in Iran. You’d expect markets to panic, right? Instead, stocks rose. We examine why investors seem to shrug off geopolitical risks, what drives this kind of market resilience, and what it signals about sentiment today.

Mid-year is the perfect time for a financial checkup. In this segment, we walk through what you should be reviewing with your adviser now: spending, saving, taxes, investments, and any significant life changes. Plus, we outline smart moves you can still make in the second half of the year to stay on track or get ahead.

And finally, we tackle a familiar frustration: buying a car. Why is the process still so painful? Why does it take all day? And in a digital age where you can mortgage a home or order dinner in minutes, why hasn’t anyone cracked the code on car buying? We break down the hidden friction points—and how you can navigate them with less stress.

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.
