Image source: Getty Images I shop at Costco on a weekly basis. This is necessary for my household, since we're constantly running out of products like milk, produce, and snacks (especially, ahem, the snacks). But I like to time my Costco runs strategically to when my minivan's gas tank is getting low. Buying gas at Costco commonly saves me money compared to the cost of filling up elsewhere.

Dividend investing has long been a popular strategy for those seeking steady income and potential long-term growth. However, stocks with exceptionally high yields (over 5%) often raise eyebrows among investors. These ultra-high-yield stocks tend to underperform the broader market in the short term, as their generous payouts often reflect underlying challenges.

While history unequivocally shows that patience pays off handsomely on Wall Street, it also tells us that stocks rarely move up in a straight line.

Seven questions I’m pondering at the moment: 1. Why doesn’t the Fed just cut now? Inflation is under control. The labor market is cooling off. The housing market is a mess. I know people who lived through the 1970s are worried about a replay but this is not that. If the Fed waits too long the economy is going to roll over and they’re not going to be able to stop the unemployment rate from rising.

Not only do credit cards tend to charge high interest rates, but credit card interest is often compounded daily, allowing it to quickly add up. That's why a credit card balance can be so harmful to your finances. But the good news is that all generations have managed to decrease their credit card debt since the end of 2023, according to New York Life's latest Wealth Watch survey.
