Many also feel added pressure to tip amid the rise of automatic tipping prompts on self-service kiosks and apps, NerdWallet's consumer budgeting report found. Amid the "tipflation" debate, where are consumers tipping the least, or skipping gratuity altogether? To find out, CNBC Make It asked three New Yorkers which services they never tip on — and what etiquette experts recommend in each scenario. If it's fast food or you're grabbing a pre-packaged item from a shelf, Farley says you don't need to tip. An etiquette expert's take: When you're paying for a taxi or rideshare, you're paying the price of convenience, and your tip should reflect that, says Farley.

YOUR MONEY How to get high rates to work for you

July 17 (Reuters) - There is no doubt that higher interest rates are hard on a many people – especially if you are taking out a loan on a home or a car, or are struggling to catch up with credit-card debt. But for some, steep interest rates are not actually bad news. In fact, 38% of people say they have benefited from higher interest rates during the past year, according to a new survey from Allianz Life Insurance. “That’s the dichotomy: Higher interest rates are both crushing some people and benefiting others at the same time,” says Kelly LaVigne, vice president of Consumer Insights for Allianz Life. That means if you have some savings set aside, it is time to think about how to flip this negative of higher interest rates into a positive.

To feel comfortable or financially secure, Americans need a salary of roughly $233,000 a year on average, Bankrate found. Although 1 in 3 Americans say low pay is the reason they don't feel secure, other factors are adding to the anxiety. Why Americans don't feel financially secureThe biggest contributors to Americans' financial insecurities may be things outside of their control. Other factors include the economic environment, which 48% of survey respondents cited, and rising interest rates, cited by 36% of respondents. As for retirement savings, 60% of Americans say they don't have a retirement-specific savings account, according to a recent NerdWallet survey.

At four-year private colleges, it now costs $39,400, according to the College Board, which tracks trends in college pricing and student aid. Many students borrow to cover the tab, which has already propelled collective student loan debt in the U.S. past $1.7 trillion. The share of parents taking out federal parent PLUS loans to help cover the costs of their children's college education has also grown, NerdWallet found.

Over 2.8 million travelers are expected to pass through airport security checkpoints on Friday — a single-day record, according to the Transportation Security Administration. This comes as severe storms and staffing shortages have already derailed thousands of flights this week. Federal law doesn't require airlines to pay compensation to passengers for delays, Palmer said. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Airline Customer Service Dashboard outlines passenger rights for specific airlines. Even if a delay isn't their fault, many airlines will transfer your ticket to another airline's flight with available seats at no additional cost — if you ask, according to the U.S. PIRG Education Fund.

Eighty-two percent of American adults had a credit card in 2022, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve. Benefits to having more than one credit cardHowever, there can be drawbacks to having just one credit card. In addition, having a second credit card, or more, can help build a person's credit utilization ratio, said Curtis, founder and CEO of Curtis Financial Planning. Credit utilization is an important determinant in one's credit score and having one that's too high can reduce your score. Having more than one card raises one's overall credit limit, and with responsible use, can reduce one's credit utilization ratio.

Americans are eager to travel this summer despite inflation-strapped budgets. The overall price of travel is up 16% from this time in 2019, according to the NerdWallet Travel Price Index. Car rental prices peaked in July 2021, according to NerdWallet, and have been consistently declining. Moreover, more than 60% of adults intend to travel for the July 4 weekend. International travel is particularly popular this summer, primarily due to pent-up demand, as this is the first summer without Covid-related travel restrictions, Berg said.

However, TikTokers recently found a way to lower some of those travel costs, particularly when it comes to booking flights. The Google Flights "trick" is simple, but does require some flexibility in terms of where and when you're willing to travel. Here's how the feature works: Step 1: Open up your browser and type in Google Flights. Some TikTokers who posted about this trick have shown themselves finding flights to Cancun for $270 and Las Vegas for $94. Consider booking a flight with a layover While direct flights are convenient, flights with a layover often cost less.

From self-service fast-food restaurant kiosks to smartphone delivery apps, there are more opportunities to tip for a wider range of services than ever before. But between the high cost of living and uncertain economy, cash-strapped consumers are starting to tip less — and resent tipping prompts even more.

Experts weigh in"Inflation and general economic unease seem to be making Americans stingier with their tipping habits, yet we're confronted with more invitations to tip than ever," said Ted Rossman, Bankrate's senior industry analyst. Many feel the pressure to tip has increased over the last year, NerdWallet's consumer budgeting report also found.

If you're among the cohort lacking a retirement account, just about every financial planner would tell you to get started as soon as possible. There are plenty of different ways to invest out there, including workplace retirement accounts, individual retirement accounts, accounts designed for medical expenses and regular old brokerage accounts. Still, there are some general guidelines that financial pros typically prescribe when it comes to where you park your retirement savings. Priority 3: Get triple tax savings with an HSANot every retirement saver can invest using a health savings account.

Smaller and regional banks are important for the US financial system. "Regional banks have a combination of regional knowledge and expertise that makes lending more efficient," C. Michael Zabel, a former executive at M&T, the Buffalo-based regional bank, told Dealbook in April. Broadly, regional banks are staring down two main headwinds. In the first quarter, Ally Financial and Goldman Sach's Marcus online bank saw them rise, while regional-bank powerhouses like US Bank, Truist Financial, and Citizens Financial saw deposits fall, according to The Wall Street Journal. The pressure on regional banks hasn't abated yet.

This means booking a flight with a layover at the intended destination and skipping the second leg. The practice is sometimes cheaper than booking a regular nonstop flight, but airlines hate it.

There are a host of complicated issues in the solar market, including some contentious politics. Last year, the growth of residential solar in the U.S. boomed. It won't repeat that in 2023, but will remain a large part of the solar market. Ohio, for example, has a state program that offers a reduced rate on a solar loan with certain lenders.

Typical trip costs increased by 9% in the first quarter of 2023, according to the NerdWallet Travel Price Index, which includes prices for flights, hotels, car rentals and dining out. When expressed in dollar terms, travelers would have paid an extra $180 per person for a $2,000 trip, NerdWallet found. "As has been the case ever since the onset of the pandemic, travel prices have been volatile," said Sally French, a travel expert at NerdWallet. "I think you're going to enjoy it a little bit more," Griscavage said of off-season travel to popular cities.

As the mother of a college sophomore and high school senior, I know thinking about paying for college is daunting. Financial aid is determined by income information that is not necessarily up to date. If your circumstances are now different, that should be brought to the financial aid office's attention, he said. If you're concerned about making ends meet based on the financial aid award letter your child has already received, you can still ask for more aid. "So performing well throughout your high school career is not only important for admission but also for scholarship awards."
While most investors focus on finding the right asset allocation for their retirement fund, Baker believes that asset location, or the type of fund you're using, is just as important. Fund fees can eat into your retirement savingsAnother key detail many investors miss is the fees associated with certain retirement funds. "Unless you want to read a 60-page prospectus, it's very difficult to find out what all of these mutual funds cost," Baker said. While you're still too young to adjust how you're allocating to your retirement fund, you may need to consider where you're allocating. If you needed to withdraw your income from your retirement fund last year, you took a loss on those withdrawals, Baker noted.
Many young adults overwhelmed by financial stress cope by ignoring the problem. Some tune out bank and credit-card balances, lose track of their spending and rack up debt. Average credit-card debt rose 29% to $5,800 in March from a year earlier for millennials and increased 40% to $2,800 for Gen Z, Credit Karma said. Younger people were also more likely to have paid late fees or taken advances from their credit cards, a survey from NerdWallet found.

Avail yourself of balance transfer cardsCards offering 15, 18 and even 21 months with no interest on transferred balances "can be your best friend on the path to getting out of credit card debt," McBride said. watch nowMaking the best use of a balance transfer boils down to making those payments on time and aggressively paying down the balance during the introductory period. Most cards have a one-time balance transfer fee, usually around 3% to 5% of the tab. "The interest rate will depend on your credit, but it may be worth it if the cost of interest and fees are significantly lower than what you're currently paying on your credit cards," Rathner said. Currently, those rates are around 10%, on average, still well below what you may have on your credit card.
Baby boomers and Gen Z kids are divided on what age adults should start paying their own bills. 68% of US parents are sacrificing savings to financially support their adult kids, Bankrate found. Part of the reason could be that parents are sick of sacrificing their hard-earned cash to financially support their adult kids. The study found that 68% of parents have made a "financial sacrifice" to help their adult kids with their finances. As a result, adult children may find it harder to achieve financial independence.
