Moody's Just Downgraded U.S. Debt (Here's Why)

Video Description

For the first time ever, Moody’s has officially downgraded the U.S. credit rating — and it could have serious consequences for your money. In this video, I break down exactly what this downgrade means, why it happened, and how it could impact everything from mortgage rates to your investment portfolio. Treasury yields are spiking, bond prices are falling, and borrowing is about to get more expensive. We’re also seeing increased economic strain from Trump’s ongoing tariff policy — all while the U.S. debt burden balloons to historic levels. If you’re wondering how this all ties together — and what it means for your financial future — this video is for you. 💼 Topics I cover: • Why Moody’s downgraded U.S. debt • The history of past downgrades (S&P in 2011, Fitch in 2023) • How rising yields affect your mortgage, car loan, and credit card • What this means for investors going forward • Why reducing the U.S. deficit should be a bipartisan issue 📉 The U.S. is on an unsustainable fiscal path. Now is the time to get educated, stay informed, and position your finances wisely. 🛒 Get your gold & silver from JM Bullion – my trusted dealer for over a decade! 👉 https://www.jmbullion.com/whiteboardfinance MY FAVORITE TOOLS & RESOURCES 🤝 Join My Private Community: https://lp.whiteboardfinance.com/ 🏠 Get My Home Affordability Spreadsheet: https://buymeacoffee.com/whiteboardfinance/e/374674 ₿ $5 FREE Bitcoin (River): https://river.com/whiteboardfinance 🔒 Ledger - Store Your Bitcoin The Right Way: https://whiteboardfinance.com/go/ledger 🧑‍🎓 CourseCareers - Land a high-paying job with no experience or degree by going through an affordable online course: https://coursecareers.com/a/WhiteBoardFinance MY OTHER SOCIALS: 🐦 X - https://twitter.com/whiteboardfin 📸 Instagram - https://instagram.com/whiteboardfinance ABOUT ME 👇 My mission is to provide my viewers with actionable content that enables them to create financial wealth.
