| 0:00.0 | All right, folks, listen up. Last week, President Trump announced that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac |
| 0:04.2 | were going to buy more than $200 billion worth of mortgage bonds. And then I actually saw |
| 0:09.8 | the next morning on CNBC, the head of the FHFA. Well, he says it's actually $225 billion. Now, |
| 0:16.7 | what does this mean? It means that there's going to be more demand. And what does that mean for you? It means cheaper rates. As I'm recording right now, rates are lower than they've |
| 0:26.5 | been in more than three years. And it's free to find out how much money you can save right now. |
| 0:31.6 | But if you've been on the fence waiting for better rates, this could be the second chance |
| 0:36.1 | you've been looking for, especially if you |

| 1:04.1 | at like 22%. You know you can do better than that. If you put Christmas on a credit card, |
| 1:10.3 | what's it going to be before you actually pay Christmas off? May, June? Stop kicking the camp. Keep more of your own money right now. And how's this for starters? No payments for the next two months. That's right. You don't have to make a payment in February or in March. You're done until April. And come April, you're going to be saving a whole boatload of cash. Find out how much money you can save for free. $500, $600, $600, $800 a month.
