While home prices have relaxed since their peak in the COVID-19 pandemic, the typical cost of a home in the U.S. has risen by more than 23% from early 2020 through the end of 2025. Compounding the housing affordability problem further, mortgage rates remain at elevated levels not seen since before the Great Recession. Additionally, the impacts of high rent and inflation have made it harder for many would-be buyers to save up for home purchases. Underlying all of these conditions is the…
You cut the cord to save money, right? That was the promise. But look at your credit card statement right now. If you’re subscribing to Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, and Disney+, you’re probably paying just as much as you did for old-school cable. Netflix is the king of the slow bleed. It just raised prices across the board again. According to the Los Angeles Times, the premium plan is now a staggering $26.99 a month, and even the ad-supported tier jumped to $8.99. That’s over $320 a year for the premium tier just to watch television. And let’s be honest,…
The United States is not in a recession, but it may be in a “vibecession.” Despite ticking up for the past three months, the closely watched University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 53.3 in March — lower than its preliminary estimate of 55.5 two weeks ago — and down from 56.6 in February and 57 this time last year. Of those surveyed, expectations for gas prices surged, and inflation predictions rose following the start of the Iran war on Feb. 28. While sentiment declined across age groups and political affiliations, “consumers with middle and higher incomes and stock…
We all know the stereotype of getting older. You hit 65, and it’s nothing but doctor visits, lost keys, and a slow fade into the background. It’s a depressing thought. It’s also completely wrong. A recent study from researchers at the Yale School of Public Health tracked thousands of older adults, looking at their physical and cognitive health over a dozen years. The results should serve as a massive wake-up call. Nearly half of the participants over 65 actually improved. They got faster. They got sharper. They didn’t just slow the decline. They reversed it. If you want to join…
Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared on Live and Invest Overseas. Moving from the United States to another country is an opportunity to leave a consumerism-driven lifestyle behind for good. The U.S. may have the most consumerist culture in the world. But buying stuff doesn’t make you happier. Will Rogers said it best when he said, “Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people that they don’t like.” By moving to a new country, you can be exposed to a new perspective… one that embraces minimalism. This doesn’t mean that you…
I turned 70 last summer, and let’s be honest: Aging gracefully takes actual work. It isn’t something that just happens to you. It’s a series of choices you make every single day. Lately, I’ve caught myself slipping into some of the very traps I’ve read about and warned my readers about. It’s incredibly easy to sleepwalk into our later years, making the same foolish mistakes that drain our bank accounts, ruin our health and isolate us from the people we love. You don’t have to go down that road, and neither do I. If we want to stay sharp, wealthy…
Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared on MyPerfectResume.com. For decades, corporate life has catered to the early risers. Morning meetings, nine-to-five office schedules, and leaders boasting about being the first in the office all send the same signal: The workplace belongs to morning people. But a new study of more than 1.5 million workers in the U.S. and Canada, conducted by Herrmann International in partnership with MyPerfectResume, shows that not everyone operates at peak energy in the morning. In fact, younger and creative workers are far more likely to identify as “night people.” The problem? Leadership is dominated by morning…
You pull up to the pump, watch the numbers spin, and wonder if there is a better way to manage this recurring expense. Gasoline takes a significant bite out of your budget, but you have more control over your fuel efficiency than you might realize. By tweaking how you drive and maintain your vehicle, you can stretch the distance between fill-ups and keep more cash in your wallet. 1. Ease up on the accelerator Slamming your foot on the gas pedal might get you to the next stoplight a second faster, but it actively drains your tank. Aggressive driving —…
Morning Bid: You can’t handle the ’Truth’
The outlook for U.S. new car sales volume this year is uncertain amid economic volatility, but one thing consumers can expect is that vehicle prices will rise as carmakers look to offset the costs of tariffs that they no longer can absorb, as they did last year. According to Cox Automotive, the total burden of President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on imported cars and auto parts and 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum, cost automakers and suppliers an estimated $35 billion last year. “(Automakers) absorbed those tariff costs at launch to defend volume and protect market share, but that was…
