People in the LGBTQIA+ community often use the word partner to describe their relationship to other parties. ‘Boyfriend’ can sound juvenileLike many couples, Rouzer found “boyfriend” an inaccurate description of her close companion. Carey explained that “the relationship escalator” is a concept where couples are expected to follow several steps in a romantic relationship.

☆ Here’s why mortgage rates are rising after the Fed’s rate cut
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-24 | by ( Bryan Mena | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

Expectations of a Fed rate cut caused mortgage rates to drop to a two-year low of 6.08% in late September, but it failed to spur homebuying activity. Every percentage point on a mortgage rate makes a big difference for that monthly payment. Here’s what’s driving the recent upswing in mortgage rates. Mortgage rates track the 10-year US Treasury yield, which was expected to fall in anticipation of further rate cuts. “I am clearly not going to own any fixed income.”The government’s fiscal situation might already be having an impact on mortgage rates.
