Otherwise, your lender might not approve your mortgage refinance, experts say. A change in your financial situation, like a layoff or lower income, or higher debt, could mean you don't qualify. "Your mortgage rate and whether or not you get approved for a loan or refinance ... depends on you," said Channel. You refinanced recently Technically, there are no hard limits on how many times you can refinance your mortgage, Channel said. It may be in your best interest to only consider a mortgage refinance every few years, if your financial situation has changed or if rates are falling "really dramatically," Channel explained.

Your boss says the company does not plan to require employees to return to the office. Some workers have filed lawsuits against their companies or charges with the National Labor Relations Board over RTO mandates. AdvertisementBut remote employees who simply argue that returning to the office is an inconvenience to their lifestyle have "zero chance" to fight the RTO mandate with legal action, Zambrano said. AdvertisementHowever, said Camacho Moran, just because an employee has an illness or a disability "does not mean that remote work is the appropriate accommodation." Reasonable accommodations under the ADA can include modifying a work schedule or workplace setting, as well as moving to remote work.

Constellation Energy stock is still rising after the power company's landmark announcement last week that it plans to restart the Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania. The operational risk to bring the plant back online in 2028 appears manageable, Morgan Stanley told clients in a note on Monday. Renewable energy and natural gas stocks could also indirectly benefit from nuclear deals, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Stephen Byrd. Renewable stocks such as AES Corp. , NextEra Energy and First Solar could get a tailwind for the same reason, according to Morgan Stanley. CEO John Ketchum said the company is looking at restarting the Duane Arnold nuclear plant in Iowa.

Read previewConsumers could end up paying the (personalized) price as AI becomes more popular, FTC Chair Lina Khan recently warned. Khan said that dynamic pricing, while a separate pricing strategy, may have helped price targeting become more prevalent as people become increasingly used to encountering it. Dynamic pricing itself has already proven controversial in some areas. Wendy's received major heat from customers after announcing plans to introduce dynamic pricing and AI-enabled menu changes as early as 2025. Later, the fast-food chain clarified that its dynamic pricing would not raise prices but rather only provide discounts.

The White House wants to close a trade loophole exploited by Chinese discount e-retailers — a move that would have a ripple effect on at least two of our portfolio stocks: Amazon and Meta Platforms. The de minimis exemption has allowed Chinese e-commerce giants, particularly low-cost Temu and Shein, to flourish. Temu has risen in popularity in the U.S. for selling items directly from Chinese merchants at massive discounts. Temu is generally seen as a growing competitor to Amazon since its prices are often lower. Meta challenges On the other hand, the trade shift could present a challenge for Meta, which relies on advertising from e-commerce platforms.

We were at a car show and spotted a compact, camper van from the '90s that was well within our budget. Even so, the costs of upkeep went up as we added more mileage to the camper van. And, after doing some math, we realized we don't need a camper van to do the road trips we dreamed of.
