Darya Komarova | Moment | Getty Images'The dots need to be connected for consumers'Exposure to our older selves is only part of the process of making decisions for retirement, experts say. While the TikTok filter has recently made it popular to look at our future selves, this type of application has been around since the early 2000s, said Joseph Coughlin, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab. Once people see an image of their older selves, they tend to feel differently about their future decisions. Successful, lasting behavioral changes typically come with incentives to work toward, such as saving money or exercising, Coughlin said. Pairing the videos with prompts to save more money or invest more toward retirement may be effective, according to UCLA's Hershfield.

How much do you need for a down payment on a house? On a $200,000 home, a 3% down payment means you'll need $6,000. FHA mortgage: 3.5%To get an FHA mortgage, you'll need at least a 3.5% down payment. It depends on what type of loan you're getting, but you may need between $9,000 and $60,000 for a down payment on a $300,000 house. A 20% down payment on a house allows you to avoid paying for private mortgage insurance, meaning you'll have a lower monthly mortgage payment and likely a lower mortgage rate as well.

After an overhaul to Florida’s African American history standards, Gov. Ron DeSantis, the state’s firebrand governor campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, is facing a barrage of criticism this week from politicians, educators and historians, who called the state’s guidelines a sanitized version of history. For instance, the standards say that middle schoolers should be instructed that “slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit” — a portrayal that drew wide rebuke. In a sign of the divisive battle around education that could infect the 2024 presidential race, Vice President Kamala Harris directed her staffers to immediately plan a trip to Florida to respond, according to one White House official. “How is it that anyone could suggest that in the midst of these atrocities that there was any benefit to being subjected to this level of dehumanization?” Ms. Harris, the first African American and first Asian American to serve as vice president, said in a speech in Jacksonville on Friday afternoon.

Pixdeluxe | E+ | Getty ImagesAmericans often worry about hitting specific money goals for retirement, but a new report finds that the decision to retire often happens independently of reaching that "magic number." The report found that more than a third, 36%, of households ages 55 to 64 are already retired. In that age group, 27% are within five years of stopping full-time work and 37% expect to continue working full-time for more than five years. About a third, 35%, of people in that age group who have less than $50,000 in investable assets described themselves as retired. That may be especially true of those in the 55-plus age group, who may believe they have enough, but cannot predict whether they will live another four decades.

WASHINGTON, June 23 (Reuters) - Critical U.S. air traffic control (ATC) facilities face staffing challenges and the Federal Aviation Administration "lacks a plan to address them," a government audit released on Friday found. The Transportation Department Office of Inspector General said the staffing issues pose risks to the continuity of air traffic operations. The report said the FAA has made limited efforts to ensure adequate controller staffing at the busiest air traffic control facilities, adding that 77% of critical ATC facilities are staffed below the FAA's 85% threshold. The center in busy Florida has had 300 staffing triggers - events when workforce issues require reducing air traffic, the report said. The Transportation Department in May sought $117 million to hire 1,800 air traffic controllers next year, in addition to 1,500 being hired this year.
