  • Vivek Ramaswamy’s policy proposals and how they would transform the U.S.

    Jump

  • This nonsense might have a small chance if it was Reagan proposing it in 1980. But it's a different world.

    The longer he sticks around the worse the GOP looks to anyone with a brain.

  • Mortgage rates soar to their highest level in 21 years

    Jump

  • Below 4% is a huge win. I bought my house in 2007 at 6.5%. Refinanced after the financial meltdown at 5% then again in 2012 at 3.25%.

    It's been an absolute gift to build equity with such a low rate, but I'm also lucky that I didn't have to move.

  • How to curb unnecessary consumer impulses?

    Jump

  • If you're impulse buying crap online, I find keeping items in the shopping cart for a day or so gives me time to think before pulling the trigger. If it's an emergency that's one thing, but most of the time it can wait.

    Also I find budgetting apps to be really helpful in curbing unnecessary spending.

  • 401(k) millionaires are on the rise after taking a hit last year. Boomers are leading the way

    Jump

  • It's not just boomers.

    Young savers have done especially well. Gen Z saw a 66% increase in average 401(k) balances compared to a year ago, while millennials saw a 24.5% increase. Average Gen X balances were up 14.5%, and baby boomers saw an average increase of 6.3% compared to a year ago.
