A sex educator said ambiamorous people might defer to the relationship style their partner wants. AdvertisementMaybe you've decided that you're ready to be in a polyamorous relationship after only being in monogamous ones. Ambiamorous people are flexible to new relationship stylesUnlike polyamorous people, ambiamorous ones are fundamentally open to new relationship styles. That being said, "changing one's relationship structure from monogamy to polyamory — or vice versa — doesn't make one ambiamorous," she said. "While having labels that explain one's identity or preferences is wonderful, what's most important is that one's relationship style is healthy, loving, and emotionally supportive," she said.

Some Tesla Cybertruck owners noticed their new stainless steel vehicles have small rust specks. A few months after deliveries began, some members of a Cybertruck-owners forum started complaining about rust spots on the vehicle. After all, the Cybertruck is the first stainless steel vehicle to be produced since DMC made the stainless steel DeLorean and later halted production in 1982. The extra upkeep isn't entirely unexpected for experienced Tesla owners, many of whom have taken on the role of early adopters. If Tesla hits Musk's ambitious production targets for the Cybertruck, Tesla is likely to face less forgiving buyers, automotive analyst Ivan Drury told BI.

☆ Millennials have a gusto for bond ETFs — and that may be bad in the long run

Eva-katalin | E+ | Getty ImagesMillennials are holding and buying bond exchange-traded funds with more gusto than older investors — and that's likely not an ideal strategy, experts said. That's a higher allocation than Generation X and baby boomers, who had respective allocations of 37% and 31%. Millennials investing for the long term can afford to — and generally should — take more risk than older investors by allocating relatively heavily to stocks. That's because stocks typically outperform bonds over decades, said Jenkin, a member of CNBC's Advisor Council. "Millennials in their 30s probably shouldn't have 45% of their allocation in bonds," Jenkin said.
