Many American families are stuck between a retirement crisis and a childcare crisis, with young parents unable to help their own parents — and vice versa. The childcare crisis meets the retirement crisisSandra, 51, has been dealing with both childcare and eldercare challenges over the past year.

The heavy rainfall continued to pummel the region into Sunday. Rescuers have been working hard to rescue hundreds of people left stranded by heavy rainfall there.

I'm exploring how we could save money on these purchases by opening up a new credit card, so I asked certified financial planner Bobbi Rebell whether it's a better idea for us to open a store credit card or a rewards credit card. "Sometimes store credit cards come with 0% interest for a given period of time." The Pottery Barn credit card also works at all seven brands under the store's umbrella, including West Elm and Williams Sonoma. Rewards credit cards come with more flexibility and ongoing perksDespite the perks that store credit cards offer, Rebell says that other credit cards come with more flexibility, especially with how you can use your rewards. That's useful, especially if we need more than 12 months to pay off our credit card bills once a store credit card's 0% APR wears off.

A national debt crisisAmericans are facing a credit card debt crisis, with millennials and Gen Z at the forefront of the struggle. If you're a consumer with average credit who tends to carry a credit card balance, McCarthy recommends seeking options for lower-interest repayment. If the Fed lowers interest rates as anticipated, you can expect personal loan interest rates to drop slightly, regardless of your credit score. "Many consumers struggling with high-interest debt have expressed confusion surrounding credit card APRs, and credit card companies are happy to keep it that way." "Many consumers believe that making the minimum payment is an effective way to manage their credit card debt," Elliot said.

The Fed is expected to cut rates multiple times this year and in 2025, which means mortgage rates should continue decreasing. Will mortgage rates drop when the Fed cuts rates? If he or other Fed officials indicate that bigger rate cuts could be coming, mortgage rates may inch down. How Fed rate cuts affect mortgage ratesChanges to the federal funds rate don't directly impact mortgages, but mortgage rates tend to trend up when the Fed raises rates and go down when it lowers rates. The Fed could lower rates substantially by the time we reach the 2025 buying season, which means mortgage rates may be a lot lower, too.
