For many in the middle class, inflation is at the heart of this feeling. That's making people feel locked out of many of the milestones long associated with middle-class life. 74% of middle class Americans have cut back on non-essential spending, according to Primerica's survey. 46% of middle-class Americans said they've dialed back or completely paused saving for the future and 38% said they didn't think they could afford an unexpected expense over $1000. Buying a home may be the greatest example of a tenet of middle-class life feeling out of reach for many, and that struggle is very real rather than merely negatively perceived.

Major corporations often don't want to seem like they're taking one side politically, so they either sponsor both conventions, or neither. Conventions could see new sponsorsThe Democratic and Republican conventions this summer are the first fully in-person conventions since the 2016 election. Democratic convention organizers in April said if corporations had any reluctance to back the RNC, it hasn't hampered Chicago's efforts to lure donors. Microsoft in 2012 contributed over $1.5 million in a mix of in-kind and cash contributions to the Republican convention. JPMorgan donated $200,000 to the 2012 Republican convention and didn't write a check for the 2016 event.

On average, Americans believe they should save up around $1.46 million before retiring, per Northwestern Mutual's 2024 Planning and Progress study. But in certain states, like Hawaii, you'd actually need more than that. The minimum amount of savings you'd need to retire in the Aloha state is $2,051,077, according to a GOBankingRates study. It also looked at each state's cost of living through the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center state-by-state cost of living index, based on the Council for Community and Economic Research survey data. Here are the 10 states where you'd need the most to retire comfortably, according to GOBankingRates data shared with CNBC Make It.

It is also up 15% from last year, when respondents said they would need $1.27 million. Likewise, a recent CNBC survey showed that 53% of Americans feel like they are behind on their retirement savings. However, experts say having a "magic number" in mind should not be a priority when planning for your retirement. The number experts say to focus onFinancial advisors agree that having a high savings rate, along with appropriate asset allocations, is one of the most significant components of building wealth. "I would much rather have clients that save 15% of their income and get a 5% rate of return than save 1% of their income and get a 15% rate of return," Roland said.

Thanks to those high mortgage interest rates, refinance activity in 2023 was at the lowest level in 30 years. In the first and second quarters of 2023 there was only $75 billion and $80 billion, respectively, in mortgage refinance originations nationally, according to Freddie Mac, a government-sponsored entity that buys mortgages from banks. "We're just in a much higher interest rate situation with the economy," she said. "We've been so accustomed to mortgage rates as a baseline being at 2% or 3%," said Veronica Fuentes, a certified financial planner at Northwestern Mutual. Some lenders may require a higher interest rate if you finance closing costs, plus you'll be paying interest on those expenses for the life of the mortgage.

If you're in your 30s and don't have much saved for retirement, you're not alone. Even if you have little or no retirement savings, you can still get back on track — and even retire as a millionaire. CNBC calculated how much you could retire with if you contributed $1,000 a month to a retirement investment starting at ages 25, 30 and 35. These calculations assume a starting balance of $0 and an annual rate of return of 6% or 8% until age 65. Additionally, the calculations don't account for unpredictable events like market volatility.

According to the survey, Americans set their sights on $1.46 million as the magic number to make them feel comfortable in retirement. And it differs by generation — both Gen Z and millennials said they would feel comfortable retiring with over $1.6 million, Gen X thinks $1.56 million, and boomers think $990,000. For example, the majority of Gen Z, millennials, and Gen X survey respondents expect the US will enter a recession this year — with one-third of adults saying they don't feel financially secure. Gen X is also facing their own tough economic plight as the "forgotten generation." Millennials and Gen Zers both started saving earlier for retirement than their Gen X peers and are more confident that they'll be financially prepared for retirement.

The S&P 500 tumbled the first two trading days of the new quarter and is down 0.8% for the week after paring back some of its losses on Wednesday. Some Fed officials revealed at the central bank’s policy meeting last month that they see fewer rate cuts than the three they forecast last December for 2024. Traders see a 63% expectation that the Fed cuts rates in June, a drop from more than 70% a week earlier, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. “With Middle East tensions on the rise, OPEC+ supply side measures have pushed crude oil volatility down,” BofA strategists wrote in a Wednesday report. “Adding to a complex backdrop, we now estimate that improving economic growth expectations have helped push global oil markets into a deficit.”The price of gold has also climbed this week.

"Since the pandemic, affordability has just totally collapsed," said Chen Zhao, a senior economist at Redfin. February 2021 was the last month when the typical household earned more money than they needed to afford the median home. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sets the standard of affordability at 30% of household income. Affordability deficit narrowed in FebruaryThe average household fell short $29,448 to afford a home in February, according to Redfin. The affordability deficit narrowed because rates have been on a consistent decline since the last peak in October, according to Zhao.

On average, Americans believe they'll need nearly $1.3 million to retire comfortably, according to Northwestern Mutual's 2023 Planning and Progress study.

"We can't ditch our fears, but we can be intentional about managing our fear," Sokunbi said during CNBC's Women & Wealth event on Tuesday. Most women are worried about moneyFor women, "financial stress is pretty consistent across all age groups and income," said Lorna Kapusta, head of women and engagement at Fidelity. However, financial stress levels drastically decrease with each additional month of emergency savings set aside, according to Fidelity. Roughly 81% of women with no emergency savings felt a fair amount or a lot of stress. Once women have three months' worth of emergency savings, only 26% report high stress levels, Fidelity found.

Alexa von Tobel realized the importance of being financially savvy at a young age, but she still wishes she'd learned more about money as a kid. Like most children in the U.S., von Tobel received "no formal education" on personal finance. "Appreciating that you can have your dollars work hard for you, and on behalf of you, is a really powerful concept," von Tobel says. 'A skill set that you need for your whole life'Given her success as a fintech founder and investor, von Tobel clearly mastered that particular financial lesson eventually. "That concept is very powerful," von Tobel says.

Money is, simply, "a tool to help you live the life you want to," von Tobel says. Keep it practicalTalk to your kids about money in ways that make sense to them, von Tobel advises. "When you're walking through a store and your child wants something, pick it up [and] show them the price," says von Tobel. Adults often associate money with stress, because they're only thinking about "the things you didn't have," von Tobel says. "Trying to orient kids to have very positive, empowering moments around money early in their lives, we know from data [that] can change their life."

Many Americans want to retire before turning 65, and they're pretty optimistic about achieving that goal. Nearly three quarters of American adults — 74% — are confident they'll be able to retire at 64, per New York Life's recent "Wealth Watch" survey. The average American thinks they'll need around $1.3 million to retire comfortably, according to Northwestern Mutual's "Planning and Progress" study. Taking that into account, CNBC calculated how much you would need to save each month in order to retire at 64 with $1.3 million. The calculations don't factor in common, but unpredictable, life events such as layoffs, promotions or market volatility.

The year opened with a bang as employers added 353,000 jobs in January, far exceeding the most optimistic of forecasts. Revisions also raised the November job number to 182,000 and also added 117,000 more jobs to December. “The labor market is certainly cooling,” Brent Schutte, chief investment officer at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management, said ahead of the report. “I think the labor market by many measures is at or nearing normal, but not totally back to normal,” Powell told reporters. But it is hard to contain the enthusiasm that a strong jobs report along with moderating inflation is good for most Americans.

Goldman Sachs"We expect price increases to be driven by modest earnings growth and well-supported price-to-earnings multiples," wrote Austin Pickle, a strategist at WFII, in a January 16 note. Stucky continued: "I've never seen a re-acceleration in earnings growth — which is what the baseline expectation is for earnings — absent some sort of economic recovery or an acceleration in economic growth. He noted that many factors influence profits, but added that his forward model suggests there's earnings risk ahead. Bianco said he expects flat or mid-single-digit earnings growth for stocks in most sectors. However, he said that during expansions, GDP growth is a poor predictor of earnings growth.
