🚀 A spacecraft sent to rescue one of NASA’s aging telescopes got within just nine miles of its target, but it still wasn’t enough to save it.

Katalyst Space Technologies’ Link spacecraft was sent to boost NASA’s Swift Observatory into a higher orbit. After Link developed problems of its own, engineers managed to stabilize it, but the effort used too much fuel to complete the rescue.

Even so, the mission wasn’t a total loss. 🛰️ Link gathered data and images of Swift, giving engineers valuable practice for future satellite servicing missions.

NASA says Swift, launched in 2004, is expected to reenter Earth’s atmosphere sometime between October and the end of the year as solar activity continues to pull its orbit lower. 🌌

Sometimes, even an unsuccessful rescue can become a useful test for the next mission.

🌴 More Americans are deciding that enjoying life now matters just as much as making financial progress for later.

A recent SoFi survey found that 72% of Americans would be willing to make slower progress toward their financial goals so they can spend more time with family, travel more, and prioritize meaningful experiences.

That doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning long-term goals. In fact, 59% of respondents said enjoying life is how they define financial progress, compared with 27% who pointed to owning a home.

The challenge is finding a balance between what matters now and what matters later. ✈️ That can mean making room for a vacation, concert, or family event while still keeping an eye on retirement savings and debt.

But charge that trip to a credit card and carry a balance, and interest can turn a two-week memory into a much longer bill.

What does financial progress look like to you: reaching the next milestone, enjoying more of life now, or some mix of both?

🏠 Homebuyers are stepping back as mortgage rates climb higher, fast.

Total mortgage application volume fell 4.1% last week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Applications for a home purchase were down 1% for the week and 19% lower than the same week a year ago.

Refinance applications felt it even more, dropping 9% for the week and sitting 65% below year-ago levels.

The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage climbed to 6.97% last week, and by Tuesday it had moved even higher, to 7.22%, according to Mortgage News Daily. That's nearly a full percentage point above where rates sat a year ago.

🔑 Rates aren't the only pressure buyers are weighing. Home prices remain elevated in many areas, and while more homes have come on the market, much of that added supply sits at the higher end.

For many households, higher borrowing costs paired with higher prices are making the buy-or-wait decision a harder one to call.

This is exactly the kind of shift worth walking through together, especially if a purchase or refinance has been somewhere on your radar.

🏢 Warren Buffett has stepped down as chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, marking the end of another chapter in one of the most closely watched leadership transitions in corporate America.

His son, Howard Buffett, has assumed the role of chairman, while Greg Abel continues as CEO. Warren Buffett will remain on Berkshire’s board as chairman emeritus and continue offering his perspective to the company.

The change completes a succession process that has been years in the making. Howard Buffett has served on Berkshire’s board for more than three decades, while Abel took over as CEO earlier this year.

📌 For Berkshire, the transition now shifts attention to how the company preserves its culture and long-term approach to running the business while operating under a new generation of leadership.
