How do federal decisions shape everyday life—especially when it comes to your finances? Straight Arrow Senior Cost of Living Reporter Lauren Pearle breaks down why the Federal Reserve’s latest move matters: "I wanted to explain how a complicated Fed decision that unfolded during a political showdown affects household budgets, from mortgages and car loans to credit cards and business borrowing. Even a decision to keep rates unchanged has ripple effects throughout the economy."
