SCRIPTURES AND WALL STREET – THE RETIREMENT LIE

WHAT WALL STREET GETS WRONG ABOUT INTEREST RATES Everyone is watching the Federal Reserve. Will interest rates go up? Will they finally come down? What will the markets do next? But what if investors are asking the wrong question? In this episode of Scriptures & Wall Street, Carlos Cortez Jr. examines one of the biggest narratives dominating financial headlines: interest rates and the future of retirement planning. While Wall Street continues to speculate on every Federal Reserve meeting, Carlos argues that long-term financial success isn't built by predicting the next rate decision—it's built by preparing for every possible outcome. The conversation explores how years of low interest rates changed consumer behavior, why inflation continues to challenge families despite optimistic headlines, and how higher borrowing costs are reshaping mortgages, credit cards, businesses, and retirement strategies. More importantly, Carlos discusses the difference between chasing market predictions and practicing biblical stewardship, reminding listeners that wise financial planning is rooted in discipline, preparation, and faith—not headlines or political cycles. Whether you're nearing retirement or simply trying to make better financial decisions, this episode encourages you to stop relying on market forecasts and start building a plan designed to withstand uncertainty. Because the strongest retirement strategy isn't built around guessing what the Federal Reserve will do next. It's built to succeed no matter what happens.

Carlos Cortez Jr.

Wealth Manager

Carlos Cortez is an inventor of solutions, of ideas and of plans. You know what they say, necessity is the mother of invention. Carlos looked around the financial landscape and saw five things that were missing. #1 People’s money wasn’t safe. #2 People weren’t getting consistent rates of return. #3 The financial world wasn’t transparent. #4 Investments were not being kept in America and were being used to fund foreign economies, like China. #5 People didn’t have access to fiduciaries who believed in God, country, and family. His solution: the America First Retirement Plan. Like all good inventions, it provides a simple solution for a complicated problem. Carlos is dedicated to a conservative political and financial outlook. He values relationships with his clients over money because his integrity is not for sale. His America First Retirement Plan works not only because it focuses on helping people focus on protecting the safety of their portfolios—it also helps people connect with their financial advisor on a political, emotional, and social level. If you don’t trust someone’s opinions on those aspects of life, why would you trust them with your money?
