President Trump recently joked at a rally in Texas that the $5,000 payments he's promised if Republicans win the midterm elections would only get Americans "a hamburger and maybe a small dessert" at his Mar-a-Lago club.
The president has vowed to give every American adult $5,000 if Republicans retain majorities in the House and the Senate after the midterm elections on Nov. 3. Trump specified, though, that the money must be spent in the U.S., pitching his own club as a possible — yet expensive — option on where to spend it.

A Florida woman who passed away kept receiving her Social Security retirement benefits for nearly six years — and her great-niece was cashing in.

Bezos told Fox News he would "usually" advise retirees to buy the S&P 500 rather than individual AI stocks, leaving room for exceptions.
The S&P 500 already provides AI exposure, with NVDA, MSFT, and GOOGL making up roughly 19% of the index.
BlackRock warns the S&P 500 alone isn't enough for retirement, recommending an income-focused strategy instead.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos once challenged Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-N.Y.) argument that billionaires cannot legitimately earn their fortunes.
During a May 2026 interview with CNBC's Andrew Ross Sorkin at Blue Origin's rocket factory in Florida, Bezos responded to Ocasio-Cortez's statement that no one can earn $1 billion without exploiting workers, abusing market power or breaking rules.
The Amazon executive chairman rejected the premise, illustrating his argument with a hypothetical burger restaurant that starts with 10 employees and gradually expands to 1,000 locations as customers embrace its products.

For younger generations, the idea of living a life of leisure in retirement — playing golf, pursuing hobbies, going on bucket-list trips — seems increasingly out of reach.
At least one expert is saying they're right — and the new retirement plan is to "keep your job." Cultural historian Lawrence Samuel told Marketwatch he believes the modern idea of a leisurely retirement has come and gone.
Indeed, he says it's a powerful myth — just like the American dream. "But most Americans don't realize their American dream. The odds are against you," he told MarketWatch.

Around 57% of households have some type of unsecured debt, including credit cards and personal loans. This debt can be a financial burden because borrowers must make monthly payments and cover interest.
Once you've taken on debt, you're committed to paying it back. Otherwise, you could hurt your credit score and face collection activity. But what happens if the company you borrowed from runs into financial trouble and goes out of business? Does that mean your debt disappears?

Losing your job at age 60 is difficult enough. Losing it when you've saved practically nothing for retirement can turn the next few years into a financial scramble.
Consider George, a single man from Little Rock, Ark., who found himself in that position after losing his job in a company restructuring. At 60, he was still two years away from being eligible to claim Social Security and five years away from Medicare eligibility — with little retirement savings to fall back on.

Americans are increasingly falling victim to so-called "ghost charges": small, frictionless payment purchases at Starbucks or McDonald's, or digital subscription deductions from your bank account you forgot about. The costs may only be $5 or $10 a pop, but they add up, and before you know it, $200 has disappeared from your savings every month.

A recent study from Cashews, a digital bank tracking platform for serial small recurring charges, shows that 61% of people have more than $50 a month in these small charges; 38.7% have more than $100 a month; and 14.5% have more than $200 a month in charges where no single charge is over $100. Additionally, three of the median person's four small recurring monthly charges go to merchants they never otherwise interact with.

You've been working for decades and are eagerly anticipating your retirement years, when you'll finally be free to do whatever you want — whether that's travel, golfing, hiking or volunteering.
But while you may be looking forward to ending your worklife, you may not have yet created a strong enough plan. A 2026 study from the Employee Benefit Research Institute, for instance, found that only half of retirees rated their household financial well-being as at least very good, while two in five said healthcare costs have been higher than they expected. Two in five also said their overall spending in retirement was more than they expected.
