"I don't care what tax bracket you're in," says Suze Orman, a financial expert and host of the "Women & Money (and Everyone Smart Enough to Listen)" podcast. "You have to be crazy to do anything other than a Roth retirement account." Roths take advantage of low tax rates The traditional thinking around traditional versus Roth accounts revolves around your personal tax rate. "Tax rates are low, secularly, compared with where they've been historically," she says. "So the idea is that you're better off taking your tax medicine now at relatively low tax rates."

☆ The French Don’t Snack. They Apéro.
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-17 | by ( Rebekah Peppler | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

Barring the afternoon snack of school children, it’s true: Snacking between meals isn’t really a thing in France. Unless, of course, you swap in the word snack for “apéro.” Pausing for a drink and small bite during apéritif hour is sacred across France — and easily translates to your own backyard. The word apéritif, derived from the Latin “aperire” or “to open,” refers both to a set of low alcohol-by-volume bottles (such as vermouth, sherry or Suze) as well as drinks. Meant to whet the appetite and always paired with a small, savory bite, l’apéro often takes place during the transition from day to evening, though a lunchtime apéro isn’t unheard-of.

☆ Why some people feel good about their bank accounts but bad about the economy
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-07 | by ( Nicole Goodkind | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +10 min

A recent Wall Street Journal poll of American voters in swing states found that while people think the national economy is in bad shape, they feel good about their personal finances. In Gallup polling from last April, just 16% rated the economy as “good” or “excellent,” but 45% said their personal finances were “good” or “excellent.”But according to available data the economy has improved. But the dichotomy between how people feel about their own finances and the economy at large presents a different conundrum. It’s important to look at consumer behavior and not just sentiment when determining how Americans feel about the economy, said Harris. Those behaviors signal that Americans, overall, actually feel pretty good about their economy.

When asked by Wallace what percentage of Americans she thought were financially illiterate, she said, "Truthfully, probably 95%." So-called "traditional" accounts, including 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts, give you a tax break up front. Because you fund these accounts with money you've already paid taxes on, your contributions don't count against your taxable income. Contributions to these accounts are made with after-tax money, but investments in them grow free from federal or state tax. You can contribute to any state's plan — and each plan comes with different investing options — but you'll generally only receive tax benefits, if they're offered, by investing in your home state's plan.

Financial experts, though, see a different side to the agreements and think all couples should consider them. Theresa Viera, an attorney based in South Carolina, told NPR that prenups are financial safety nets, not harbingers of separation.

If you've been looking for an investment to keep up with inflation, everyone from your financial planner to your dad to Suze Orman has likely recommended looking into Series-I savings bonds, also known as "I bonds." These inflation-adjusted bonds backed by the U.S. government pay a fixed rate throughout the life of the bond, plus an inflation rate pegged to changes in the consumer price index. Given how high inflation has been, these bonds currently offer a record 9.62% annual interest rate. If you haven't bought in already, rushing to get it done by tomorrow could be worth it, says Naveen Neerukonda, a certified financial planner with PVA Financial in Chicago, Illinois. If you already have certain bases covered financially, "this is a great opportunity, given the nearly risk-free nature of I bonds," he says.
