I'd often have to cut spending in other parts of my life just to cover my monthly high insurance costs. Laura Sliva Collier/Getty ImagesWith sunlight beaming down most of the year, it's clear why Florida is known as the Sunshine State. Unfortunately, the heat and humidity kept me from fully enjoying all the beautiful outdoor activities and attractions throughout Florida. AdvertisementMosquitoes were a huge nuisance to me at nightI also struggled to deal with mosquitoes when I lived in the Sunshine State. Although the pesky insects can be found in every state, Florida has more than most and over 80 species of them.

The generation is leading the way when it comes to pet ownership — almost a third of US pet owners are millennials. Across the board, more pet owners are splurging on their animals. In its annual surveys, the American Pet Products Association has found that pet owners have reported spending more on things like treats, food, toys, and clothing each year. While some millennial dog owners are forgoing having children, others are using dogs as training for parenthood. Dog owners can't be blamed entirely for the changing behavior.

But there are some weak points — like a growing federal debt load. There are a few less-rosy data points out there, like rising long-term unemployment and a historically high level of federal debt. Federal debt is high compared to GDP, even looking beyond the spike of the debt as a share of GDP during the pandemic. While federal debt as a share of GDP was slightly above 100% before the pandemic, recent figures are much higher than in the past. Federal debt was 120% of GDP in the second quarter of this year.

Is it OK for an AI company to exclude the cost of training its AI models when it reports earnings? Related storiesFor an AI company like OpenAI, training models will be an ongoing process. The world is constantly evolving, and new data is being generated, which will have to be incorporated into AI models' understanding. Let's call it "AI adjusted earnings" for an AI company.

"Our partnership with OpenAI will help us evolve the future of magazine content," Hearst Magazines President Debi Chirichella said in a statement.

Reddit also announced a deal with OpenAI in May to allow the ChatGPT maker to train its AI models on the social media company's content.

Mortgage rates are expected to drop, which means that it might be a good time to buy a second home. There's no perfect time to buy a home, so I'm more concerned with whether it feels like a good time. So, while mortgage rates are expected to go down this year for primary homes, mortgage rates for second homes might not fall as equally. Still, the Fed rate cut is already impacting mortgage rates, which could benefit second-home mortgages, as well. Barring a big windfall of cash allowing you to buy something outright, there may never be a "perfect" time to buy a home.

Perplexity AI on Tuesday debuted a revenue-sharing model for publishers after more than a month of plagiarism accusations. Media outlets and content platforms including Fortune, Time, Entrepreneur, The Texas Tribune, Der Spiegel and WordPress.com are the first to join the company's "Publishers Program." Under the new partner program, any time a user asks a question and Perplexity generates advertising revenue from citing one of the publisher's articles in its answer, Perplexity will share a flat percentage of that revenue. "Some of it grew out of conversations we were having with publishers about integrating Perplexity APIs and technology into their products," Shevelenko said. But not all news organizations are gearing up for a fight, and some are instead joining forces with AI startups like OpenAI, Perplexity and others.

For some car owners, it might be more financially savvy to rent a vehicle for a road trip than use their own, experts said. Drivers would need to compare total rental costs — the daily rental rate and potential add-ons like insurance — versus those of operating their own car. "Most people will be shocked at what it actually costs to own and operate their car," Brannon said. The cost of rental car insurance might add $30 to $61 to the daily rate, depending on insurance type, according to Allianz Travel, citing MarketWatch data. Car owners may already get full coverage on a rental via their own car insurance policies, or may have some coverage through credit-card benefits, Brannon said.

What Is a Wire Transfer?
  + stars: | 2024-05-30 | by ( Cheryl Lock | Sophia Acevedo | Read More | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
There are two ways to wire money: through a bank or through a wire service. How wire transfers workThe process of initiating a wire transferWire transfers typically come in two forms: a transfer between banks or through a money service, like Western Union. In general, a bank account wire transfer tends to cost less than using a service like Western Union. A wire transfer is a secure, electronic transfer of funds from one bank account to another. It's always good practice to review the recipient's information before initiating a wire transfer, and only send money to people you trust because it's difficult to reverse or cancel a transfer.

Fiske, 24, was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday evening. "I had never been around that much money," Fiske told MarketWatch last month. Together, they've discussed "how my financial life is going to change" upon signing an NFL contract, Fiske noted. "I'm putting money into mutual funds, index funds, high-yield savings accounts and maybe exploring new investment opportunities, too," he said, adding: "I also have a Roth IRA ...

That would mean a likely contract of around $8 million over four years, including a $2.7 million signing bonus, according to MarketWatch . The idea of young athletes reaping instant riches has long been an annual subplot of the NFL draft. The money I received gave me a peace of mind I did not have previously," Fiske told Business Insider. Though he made some savvy choices, Fiske admitted he made "a few mistakes" early on after receiving his NIL money. "I'm sure I'll give in once I see more 0s on my account," Fiske told MarketWatch.

Tesla might be facing another difficult quarter, Baird analysts warn. The carmaker reported a drop in its delivery numbers for the first time since 2020 last week.

"We speculate Tesla likely unveils both a robotaxi and a $25k vehicle," Kallo wrote. Tesla's stock dipped more than 5% on the day the delivery numbers were released and it's down more than 29% year to date.

Shares of Meta Platforms are approaching the $1 trillion mark after its stock price gained 200% in 2023. Meta's market cap is now $966.60 billion, which means it's $33.4 billion away from the prized $1 trillion milestone. Microsoft is currently leading the pack with a market cap of $2.93 trillion. In the third quarter of 2023, Meta reported strong earnings that beat analysts' estimates. They would need to close at $389.13 for the company's market cap to hit the trillion-dollar mark, according to a MarketWatch calculation.

This means interest rates are likely to stay at higher levels for longer. AdvertisementMarkets are far too optimistic about the prospects of interest rate cuts — because inflation is still above the Federal Reserve's target, an asset manager told MarketWatch. AdvertisementLower interest rates boost demand for loans, spurring investment and spending, while higher rates have the opposite effect. The Fed slashed benchmark interest rates to boost the US economy amid the Great Recession until they hit the range of 0% to 0.25% at the end of 2008. Interest rates were once again slashed to near-zero in March 2020 when the economy was hit by the pandemic.
