First-time homebuyers in Southeast Texas face rising flood and windstorm insurance costs

Monthly mortgage payments for homebuyers in Southeast Texas increase as flood insurance costs have risen over the last decade. This cost is part of a total monthly payment that includes principal, interest, taxes, and insurance. In coastal areas of the region, buyers must also account for windstorm coverage. Tish Cornell of CommonCents Credit Union says the debt-to-income ratio for buyers should remain under 40%.

Federal policies now eliminate future grant opportunities and cut off current funding, leaving many communities in the middle of infrastructure upgrades or replacements with no way to finish. Infrastructure that protects homes and businesses from natural disasters is not built or upgraded, which increases the risk of greater property damage.

Half of South African adults lack the financial literacy to manage money and plan for long-term success

Corporate Debt Refinancing Hits $425 Billion as Firms Lock in Rates Before Expected Spikes

Companies are refinancing their debt to preserve cash flow for expansion, large purchases, or acquisitions. This activity has driven corporate debt refinancings in the United States to about $425 billion in 2025, the highest level since 2020. The movement is a defensive play to capitalize on interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve. Companies are locking in lower rates before expected spikes driven by inflation, geopolitical strife, and fiscal policy uncertainty. This urgency is amplified by a recent Supreme Court ruling on tariffs and a subsequent executive order. To avoid being viewed by credit rating agencies as taking on too much risk, companies refinance before their debt is less than a year from maturing.
