August 15, 2026: Student Loan Decisions, a Healthcare Revival & Record Highs
Some financial decisions can’t be made by looking at just one number. This week, we start with major changes coming to federal student loan repayment and why married borrowers may need to consider not only their monthly payment, but how their tax-filing status affects both their cash flow and bigger financial picture.Then, a listener asks whether it’s time to rethink a healthcare fund he’s owned for 25 years. We examine what’s changed in the sector, how artificial intelligence could reshape parts of the healthcare industry, and why deciding whether an investment still belongs in your portfolio requires looking beyond recent performance to your allocation, goals, and time horizon.Finally, with the stock market continuing to reach record territory, we tackle a familiar question: What do you do with fresh cash when stocks are already at all-time highs? From rebalancing and paying down high-interest debt to fixed income, diversification, and putting money into the market gradually, we explore ways to put your next dollar to work without trying to predict the next correction. We wrap up with a look at the latest market moves and what’s been driving them.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.
