Read previewMario Vasquez Zuniga, 29, got a taste of entrepreneurship three years before he launched his own business. In 2023, Vasquez Zuniga quit his job and cofounded Collective, a consulting firm, with former colleague Thea Appling. Vasquez Zuniga is a first-generation college graduate who earned his degree from San Francisco State University in 2016. Vasquez Zuniga has another advantage: He's a native Spanish speaker, and he said nearly all of the people he works with are bilingual. Vasquez Zuniga added that setting milestones is also key for new entrepreneurs.

Ted Purdom, from San Anselmo, California, graduated in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in English and enrolled in an overseas language program, aiming to learn Spanish. He ended up in Mallorca, the capital of the Balearic islands off the east coast of Spain, for the nine-month program. A friend told him about another program that placed American “language coaches” in Spain, called “Auxiliares de Conversación,” (conversation assistants), run by the Spanish Ministry of Education. So that November he opened The Bridge English Academy in Manacor, converting a former wine store into classrooms to give English language courses to locals. Then there’s the fact that the islanders’ first language isn’t Spanish, but Mallorquin, a dialect of Catalan.

Without the promise of profits, American firms are also becoming less willing to go to bat for China — to reinforce the idea that China's market is crucial to the success of their futures. No demandAfter pandemic lockdowns ended in 2023, the Chinese economy experienced what is known on Wall Street as a "dead cat bounce." What money Chinese consumers are still able to spend is increasingly going to companies that grew up in their home country.

The 'freeing' reality of living smallOne of the biggest challenges was getting rid of most of our stuff before moving into the Airstream.

There wasn't anywhere else I'd thought about living — until I went to see a friend in Lake Chapala. 'Everything I need is within reach'A friend in Lake Chapala, a seven-hour drive away from Mazatlán, invited me to visit. Part of the allure, for me, of the Lake Chapala area is that it's quite rural.

Many have personal shoppers, people whose job it is to pull the best purses to take to brunch or jackets to wear on vacation in the Hamptons. "You think about how much power they have" — top personal shoppers can sell up to $5 million a year — "but they have no tools," she said. Not only does this segmentation create a mess for clients, it meant that personal shoppers could lose out on commissions. Along the way, the app collects data — helping personal shoppers and retailers know which products are performing better and the trends that are emerging.

For over a year, I had been slowly realizing that I needed to change my spending habits, but I wouldn't do anything about it.

Now that the Fed has cut rates, mortgage rates may not drop much further in the near term. But if the Fed doesn't lower rates as much as expected this year, mortgage rates may hold steady or even inch up. But rates are still expected to come down further, so it may also be worth waiting to see how low mortgage rates go. 5-Year Mortgage Rate TrendsHere's how 30-year and 15-year mortgage rates have trended over the last five years, according to Freddie Mac data. Mortgage rates are determined by a variety of different factors, including larger economic trends, Federal Reserve policy, your state's current mortgage rates, the type of loan you're getting, and your personal financial profile.

It sounds like the setup to a lightbulb joke: How much does it cost to change a microwave bulb? While my lightbulb situation may be somewhat unique, experts say it is not uncommon to learn the cost of repairs is more than the cost to replace an appliance. Figuring out the cost for a repairMy first call to repair our microwave was to the appliance store where I made the purchase. Several states — including California, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota and New York — have implemented so-called "right to repair" laws. Some products designed 'with a hostility to repair'Consumer advocates say state laws and the FTC actions help, but haven't solved the problem.

Whooping cough cases climbing for decadesAs with many infectious diseases, cases of whooping cough dropped to unusually low levels during the pandemic as people limited social interactions and took other precautions to defend against Covid-19. In 2020, the US had about 6,000 cases of pertussis, and that number dropped even further in 2021 to roughly 2,000 cases. Whooping cough starts with symptoms that look a lot like a regular cold: a runny nose, sneezing, a low-grade fever and a tickly cough. That’s led to a hunt for better, more durable immunizations against whooping cough that also don’t cause as many side effects. In some ways, whooping cough is an ideal infection to test in human challenge models.

I ended up having to wear clothes from the gift shop and wash my undergarments in a sink. The largest and heaviest bags are sometimes left behind and brought in on a later flight. Since the lodge's laundry service had a too-long turnaround time, I had to wash my underwear and socks in the sink with a hotel soap bar. I tried to buy clothing, but in this remote part of Africa, we only had access to the lodge's gift shop.

How to make the Fed rate cut work for you
  + stars: | 2024-09-18 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +11 min
In its August survey of car shoppers, a majority (64%) said a Fed rate cut likely would affect the timing of their purchase. But here’s the thing: Car loan rates are pretty high — the average is 7.1% for new cars and 11.3% for used cars, according to Edmunds. If you do buy a home this year and are considering buying down points to reduce your mortgage rate, crunch some numbers first, Diodato advised. That’s because you will pay thousands of dollars to buy down your mortgage rate now, and then thousands more in fees to refinance. What to do if you’re not near retirement: Reconsider how much money you’re keeping in cash or cash-equivalent investments.
