EMMAUS, Pennsylvania (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday tried his hand at retail politics — stopping in a trio of Pennsylvania stores to stress the value of small businesses and talk up his economic record. Biden gladhanded and joshed at a running shoe store, bicycle shop and coffee house in Emmaus, Pennsylvania. “If you notice, they're feeling much better about how the economy is doing,” Biden said in response to a reporter's question. “It was cool for him to be able to see the small businesses that power our economy and the folks behind that,” Shapiro said. As he left the coffee shop, the president noted that his birthplace was just 90 minutes away.

But is there a way to figure out exactly how much you should save each month? Around 20% of your income (after taxes) is a good amount to save each month, according to the 50-30-20 budget and 70-20-10 budget. Over time, you can may find that you can save more each month — going from $20 to $30, and so forth. A person with that income would need to save around $660.50 per month if they are using the 50-30-20 budget rule. The amount each person should save per month will likely depend on their savings goals and current budget, though.

But Tsai, in a transcript of the interview her office published on Thursday, said China had too many issues at the moment. And my thought is that perhaps this is not a time for them to consider a major invasion of Taiwan," she said. Tsai and her government have repeatedly called for talks with China but been rebuffed, as Beijing views Tsai and the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) as separatists. The DPP's Lai Ching-te, currently vice president, is the frontrunner to be Taiwan's next president according to opinion polls.
