Most people 'genuinely have no idea'The couple's recent major purchases include an awning and rack for their van and a vacation to Barbados. In both instances, they considered whether or not they could afford the purchase on a monthly basis, Sethi said. "This is very common, and most people genuinely have no idea how to decide if they can afford something." Like many people, Callie and Travis think about their budget on a monthly basis, rather than an annual one. "Until now, they would go on trips, charge up a bunch of stuff, and then get surprised at how much it all cost," Sethi said.

When mortgage rates rise, consumers look for any way to lower their monthly payments, and that often leads them to adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). These loans offer lower interest rates than their fixed-rate counterparts but are considered riskier. When mortgage rates hit record lows back in 2021, the ARM share of applications was in the 3% range. Meanwhile, the average contract interest rate for 5/1 ARMs decreased to 6.60% from 6.64%. "Inflation remains stubbornly high, and this trend is convincing markets that rates, including mortgage rates, are going to stay higher for longer.

The 10-year Treasury yield at one point in April neared 4.75% after starting the year below 4%. The anecdote, coupled with troubling inflation and economic growth data in April, helped push Treasury yields higher. More worrisome Powell commentary Wednesday after the Fed decision could further spike Treasury yields — or perhaps, he will sound confident the Fed still has a handle on inflation and rates will decline in response. However, that climb could run out of steam if Federal Reserve comments on Wednesday force Treasury yields higher. Higher interest rates constrain technology companies' ability to post the type of strong growth the sector has become synonymous with in recent years.

US futures slid as traders weighed Amazon's earnings beat against Starbucks and McDonald's misses. The Federal Reserve is set to provide an update later on the likely trajectory of interest rates. McDonald's also fell short of Wall Street's revenue, earnings, and same-store sales estimates for last quarter as consumers spent less at the fast-food chain. A painful combination of historic inflation and soaring interest rates over the past couple of years have squeezed household budgets and stoked concern of a recession. Stubborn inflation in recent months has dampened Wall Street's hopes that the Fed will cut rates in the months ahead.

Not using a high-yield savings accountHigh-yield savings accounts are a no-brainer for Allocca, who says that there's "no advantage to a traditional savings account." High-yield savings accounts are typically offered by online banks or credit unions, and usually come with higher interest rates than traditional savings accounts offered by big banks. Currently, you can find high-yield savings rates over 5%, compared with the 0.58% average for savings accounts as a whole. One trade-off is that smaller banks or credit unions might take longer to process a withdrawal from a high-yield savings account. "I like to call high-yield savings accounts 'inconvenient savings,' because they are still accessible, but totally separate and disconnected from your checking account," she says.

American households who have been hoping interest rates would soon decline may have to wait a bit longer. The Federal Reserve is expected to keep its benchmark interest rate unchanged on Wednesday. But yet another report of persistent inflation may ultimately cause the policy-making body to keep rates elevated for longer than it had previously expected. For people with money stashed away in higher-yielding savings accounts, a continuation of elevated rates translates into more interest earnings. But for people saddled with high cost credit card debt, or aspiring homeowners who have been sidelined by higher interest rates, a lower-rate environment can’t come soon enough.

If Trump is elected again, Stiglitz said, he could well pull support for Ukraine, sending grain prices soaring. For Stiglitz, the 2001 winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, America's appetite for Trump can be traced back a little more than four decades ago to the election of Ronald Reagan. "We've had 40 years of a neoliberal experiment: Strip away the regulations and lower the taxes — taxes are much lower than they used to be. But Komlos and Stiglitz don't place blame solely on Reagan for the growing economic inequality. Every European country that's had a wealth tax has walked away from it, by and large."

But largely, TikTok is a place Black creators found where they could thrive and reach new audiences and customers for their growing businesses. It wasn't that the content wasn't good, Ford said, it was that Instagram "just wasn't a place for Black creators, minority creators, to excel." Some Black creators suspected their Black Lives Matter content was suppressed in 2020 after George Floyd's death ignited a wave of protests. AdvertisementBlack TikTokers have also expressed an "undertone of anti-Blackness" in the platform's algorithm, where white creators benefited from the trends started by Black creators.

The Education Department announced $6.1 billion in student-debt relief or 317,000 borrowers. The relief applies to borrowers who attended any Art Institute campus from January 1, 2004, to October 16, 2017. Investigations found that the Art Institutes misled students about career prospects and salaries. The Art Institutes were a for-profit system that prompted investigations from the attorneys general of Iowa, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. More broadly, the Education Department is working to implement its broader student-loan forgiveness plan after the Supreme Court struck down its first attempt.

After paying off around $20,000 in credit card debt six years ago, Shonnita Leslie hasn't used a credit card since. Leslie began receiving credit card offers in the mail before she turned 18 and recalls her mom saying it was "inappropriate" for someone her age to have one. Leslie got her first credit card after earning her master's degree in 2009, she says. Since she wasn't earning much money from her first job and most of her paycheck went toward necessities like rent, she initially used her credit card to buy work clothes. While Leslie recognized she would eventually need to clear her credit card debt, she didn't prioritize paying off her full balance each month, which caused her debt to skyrocket due to costly interest charges.
