☆ I'm out $3,650 after my niece's wedding with an abusive partner was canceled — am I wrong to expect a refund?

AdvertisementA few months later, she canceled the wedding due to the domestic violence she experienced from her fiancé. I found out by seeing a post on social media. Her husband posts pictures on social media washing brand-new four-wheelers they purchased for him and their two kids and an expensive truck. Research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Center for Financial Security tells us that 99% of domestic violence cases have a financial element. Certainly, remember what may happen before you give your niece money in the future, but don't stop showing up for her in other ways.

☆ Just 1 in 4 college seniors plan to negotiate their first salary—It ‘should always be on the table,' says career expert

The class of 2024 longs for both job and financial security — and those priorities may be at odds when they negotiate the pay for their first jobs out of college. Some 3 in 4 college seniors graduating next year say they're unsure whether they plan to negotiate their starting pay, that it will depend on the offer, or they're outright not planning to have the discussion, according to Handshake's latest survey of 1,148 students in the class of 2024. Students say their main reason for not negotiating is they're worried an employer may rescind their offer if they do, followed by concerns that doing so will leave a bad impression. The remaining 1 in 4 students say they "definitely" plan to negotiate. But the fear of negotiating is "at odds" with many students' need for financial security, Williams adds.

☆ If you haven't looked at your savings account lately, you're probably losing money

Known for offering little to no interest, savings account interest rates have greatly increased as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates several times in 2022 and 2023 to combat inflation. The average savings account interest rate in the US is 0.42% APY, but the account you choose has a big impact on that rate. If you opened a savings account years ago and never looked again, it's likely you're not earning nearly as much as you could. I have my own version of a savings ladder using three savings accounts: an emergency fund, a high-yield savings account, and a savings account for a down payment on a home.

☆ 3 reasons why even China doesn't want the yuan to replace the dollar as the world's reserve currency
  + stars: | 2023-05-29 | by ( Huileng Tan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
The Chinese yuan is one of the top contenders challenging the USD's dominance as a reserve currency. However, Beijing may not be fully supportive of making the yuan the reserve currency of choice. Here's why even China isn't that keen on de-dollarizing the world economy and making the yuan the top reserve currency. So, the US will need to contend with ever larger amounts of deficit, in order to maintain its pre-eminent reserve currency position. Given the issues standing in Beijing's way, it's unlikely for the yuan to take over the greenback's position as the world's reserve currency of choice, said Green.

☆ Giving babies $1,000 at birth is an 'unprecedented opportunity for financial security,' Ayanna Pressley and Cory Booker say

Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Sen. Cory Booker urged the Treasury Department to support their "Baby Bonds" legislation. "This policy would provide every child in America with unprecedented opportunity for financial security," Pressley and Booker wrote in their letter. They cited reports from Columbia University and Morningstar that found Baby Bonds would "substantially" close the racial wealth gap. When we introduce baby bonds, this gap narrows to 71% for Black families and 67% for Hispanic families." Along with Pressley and Booker, other Democratic lawmakers have been stressing the benefits of Baby Bonds over the past year.

Retirement saving for women can be difficult because of pay gaps and time out of the workforce. "It's vital that women understand what their specific challenges to saving and investing will be," Kaufman said to Insider. But it will definitely take more than telling women to just save more money or make more money. "We have to do more than save money in a 401k and a bank account," says Kaufman. Just working and saving money is not going to get you there," Tisdale says.

With that question, The Washington Post's technology columnist, Taylor Lorenz, kicked off a recent Aspen Institute panel entitled "Can Gen Z Trust Their Elders?" Across the board, members of Gen Z are less inclined to trust major institutions than their elders are. Add all these factors up, and Gen Z is looking more and more like it will become permanently mistrustful. Why doesn't Gen Z trust anyone? According to a report by Edelman, seven in 10 members of Gen Z say "they will fact-check" any claim made by a business or advertiser.
