It's getting more expensive to pay down credit card debt. "Credit card interest rates are as high as they've ever been," Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst at LendingTree, tells CNBC Make It. Since most credit cards have a variable interest rate, there's direct connection between the Fed's rate hikes and the interest rate you're charged on your credit card. A higher interest rate also means that your credit card debt will cost more to pay off, Schulz says. If you're feeling discouraged by credit card debt, here are three steps you can take now.

Billionaire Mark Cuban isn't giving up on crypto, despite the implosion of FTX, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. However, Cuban says former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried should be "afraid of gong to jail for a long time," in an interview with TMZ. Alameda research, the trading firm founded by Bankman-Fried, was borrowing billions of dollars from FTX users' accounts and trading those funds without their knowledge, CNBC reports. FTX and Bankman-Fried did not immediately respond to CNBC Make It's requests for comment.

New York just became the first state to ban certain types of cryptocurrency mining in an effort to address environmental worries over the energy-intensive process. The new law temporarily freezes the issuance and renewal of air permits to companies that have transformed some of the state's oldest fossil fuel plants into cryptocurrency mining hubs. Mining crypto can produce harmful emissions by generating electricity through burning coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels. However, as companies flocked to the region, climate advocates began ringing the alarm over crypto mining's potential environmental harm. On a national level, U.S. crypto mining produced about 25 to 50 million metric tons of carbon pollution according to a White House report.

Although the implosion of one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges has left many investors shaken, billionaire Mark Cuban still believes in crypto.

The "smart contract" within the machine is coded to dispense the selected item after the payment is made. Cuban believes smart contracts will have a significant impact in creating valuable applications that have utility for everyone.

On top of that, new rentals that do become available skew toward the luxury market, pushing median rent prices even higher. One reason Boston is experiencing a spike in rental prices: there just aren't many homes available, Zumper reports. The median price for a one-bedroom rental in Boston jumped by nearly 6% in October to $3,060 per month. Move over San Francisco — Boston is now the second most expensive city for a one-bedroom rental, behind only New York City, according to Zumper's latest national rent report. And even though New York City still ranks as the most expensive city to rent a one-bedroom, median rent prices have fallen about 2% compared with September.
Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban suggests you pay off all your credit cards — and then burn them.

About 15% of American workers want to retire abroad, according to Dutch life insurance company Aegon's latest "Retirement Readiness Survey." Some retirees are already doing it: As of 2021, around 444,000 retired workers collected Social Security benefits while living in a foreign country, according to the Social Security Administration's latest data. "The U.S. dollar is relatively strong compared to many other currencies, which allows U.S. retirees in those countries to stretch their money further," he adds. Although leaving the U.S. doesn't guarantee a lower cost of living, Little warns, there are several international cities where you can live on just a few thousand dollars per month. For American expats looking to stretch their retirement dollars, here are 10 cities across the globe where the average cost of living is less than $2,000 per month.
If you're dreaming of combining your cryptocurrency investments with your retirement savings, you're not alone. If an employer offers this option, employees can invest up to 20% of their 401(k)s in bitcoin. Adding cryptocurrency to your retirement portfolio may drag down its overall performance, McBride adds. This helps to reduce the volatility of your portfolio since you're not overly invested in one specific type of asset. "They recognize the value in speculative assets but also recognize the value of guaranteed income as they approach retirement," says Nathan Voris, director of investments, insights and consultant services at Schwab retirement plan services.
Americans are expected to spend a record $10.6 billion on Halloween this year, surpassing last year's record of $10.1 billion, according to the National Retail Federation's annual Halloween Consumer survey.

From Klarna to Affirm to Afterpay, various "buy now, pay later" services are popping up as a popular alternative to traditional credit cards, especially among younger consumers. One reason young people in particular are drawn to buy now, pay later payment plans is because many watched their parents struggle with credit card debt amid the 2008 economic recession, says Christine Roberts, head of Citizens Pay, a buy now, pay later option offered by Citizens Bank. When it comes to expensive purchases, "this generation very much wants to understand the time frame of payments," Roberts says. Credit cards, on the other hand, typically calculate a minimum monthly payment based on the overall card balance rather than individual purchases. However, as with credit cards, buy now, pay later users may risk accumulating debt without realizing it if they're not careful.
Cryptocurrency enthusiasts may want to consider moving to Nevada: It ranks as the No. Local governments aren't allowed to tax blockchain technology, the underlying tech that cryptocurrency relies on to operate, for example. Although California is home to Silicon Valley and known as a hub of tech innovation, it ranked third in SmartAsset's study. Californians search for crypto-related keywords on Google more than any other state, but government regulation of cryptocurrency use remains unclear in the state, which dragged down its ranking. Here are the top seven states for cryptocurrency enthusiasts, according to SmartAsset:1.
On average, American workers think they'll need $1.7 million saved for retirement, but a little less than half believe they're likely to meet their savings goals, according to a recent Charles Schwab study. That's understandable: Financial planners typically recommend saving between 10% and 15% of your gross annual salary for retirement, which is no small feat. Workers with employer-sponsored retirement plans only contribute around 7% of their income toward their retirement fund on average, according to Vanguard's "How America Saves 2022" report. With this in mind, CNBC calculated how much you'd need to put away to save $1.7 million by 65, as well as how much you'd need to earn to accomplish this without saving more than 15% of your income. Here's how much you need to put away each month to save $1.7 million by 65.
