A Hawkish Fed, NVIDIA's Blowout, and the Month Nobody Trusts

In this episode of Money Matters, brought to you by Greenberg Financial Group, Dean Greenberg, Dave Sherwood, Todd Glick Jr. and Sebastian Borsini close the books on August with the indexes near highs and the calendar turning to September.

Dean opens with the thing that gets him going every time. So many people say they are doing retirement planning, and he cannot stand the phrase. Retirement is the end of something. You spent forty years working for your money. He wants to talk about what happens when your money finally starts working for you, and why so many people who can afford to enjoy that are too afraid to.

Then there is NVIDIA. The quarter was enormous. The stock popped, never made a new high, and gave it back by Friday. The team pulls that apart from a few angles, including the part where a chipmaker quietly turned into a lender, what higher yields are doing to the price of growth, and whether the receivables number deserves a second look.

The data center conversation gets lively. Sebastian brings a town of 8,600 in Washington that now hosts thirty of them and just built itself a new aquatic center, new roads, a new high school stadium. Dean has thoughts on what Tucson turned down and the reason it gave. Dave tracks the software names that AI was supposed to bury and somehow did not.

Hailey Glick joins to introduce G&G Tax Advisors, and this segment might be worth actual money to you. Arizona has four separate tax credit buckets most people never touch. Dollar for dollar against your state liability, up to roughly $5,600 if you are married, and you have until April to use them. Todd admits on air he has been leaving them on the table. If you are doing your own return, you may be too.

Also in this hour, a forty year mortgage with a thousand dollars down and what the catch might be, why waiting for the housing market to crash keeps costing people houses, the Meta settlement and the odd way the market reacted, why nobody wants to buy shoes, and Dave's fun fact on the hidden ocean sitting underneath Tucson.
