This week’s Ask Farnoosh pulls together some of the most revealing financial stories of the week, grom pandemic-era homebuyers now feeling “locked in” by their ultra-low mortgage rates, to Gen Z putting marriage, kids, and career plans on hold until they can afford a home. Farnoosh also breaks down an under-the-radar proposal from the CFPB that could weaken anti-discrimination protections in lending, a shift that could impact mortgages, auto loans, credit cards, and small-business financing.Then, she heads to the mailbag to answer listener questions:<ul><li>Should you borrow more on a home-equity loan to protect your savings during a renovation?</li><li>How can a self-employed spouse take full advantage of a healthcare FSA?</li><li>What exactly is the IRS “contract” that lets you withdraw from retirement accounts early? (Hint: SEPP/72(t) and the Rule of 55.)</li><li>And if you’ve bought a home for your parents, are you putting your own retirement at risk?</li></ul>
