💬 Housing affordability is one of the biggest challenges Americans face today. In Lydia Moynihan’s recent piece, Better CEO and Founder, Vishal Garg, shares how the company’s embrace of new technology has delivered “approximately two rate cuts worth of savings” by reducing the cost of originating a mortgage from about $5,000 per loan to roughly $3,000 over the last two years.

Debt is a quiet tax on American households. When ~40% of income goes to servicing debt, progress slows to a crawl. Not because people aren’t working hard, but because the system makes it hard to see a path out. That impacts America for generations. What stood out to me in today’s CNBC segment with Vishal Garg is the mechanics behind relief: better information, better tooling, better decisions. When people can clearly see how to lower monthly payments, credit scores improve, cash flow improves, and payoff timelines compress dramatically. That’s not financial magic, it’s engineering applied to finance. This is why on Better's engineer team we're building Tinman's Betsy agent to treat financial literacy and optimization as a first-class product feature. Reduce friction, surface the right levers, automate the hard parts...and suddenly you don’t just lower payments, you give people the momentum to achieve financial literacy and independence. #fintech can be a force for good.

📺 Vishal Garg, CEO and Founder of Better.com, joined Frank Holland on CNBC's Worldwide Exchange this morning to discuss market movement and affordability for everyday homeowners and homebuyers. "On Better.com, we’re seeing consumers who refinance increased their credit score by about 31 points and bring down their monthly payments by about $1,000 a month. That’s real savings that attacks the debt income ratio. The average American family has a 40% debt to income ratio; that means on $100,000 of annual income, they’re paying $40,000 in debt payment payments."
