☆ Americans lost a record $5.6 billion to crypto scams last year, says FBI—this is the No. 1 kind to watch out for

Financial losses "involving the use of cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, ether or tether" last year totaled over $5.6 billion, per the agency's 2023 Cryptocurrency Fraud Report . Americans lost billions to cryptocurrency scams in 2023, according to a recent report from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, investment scams swindled Americans out of $4 billion, the highest loss by crypto crime type last year, per the FBI's report. They'll sometimes communicate with victims for months in order to gain their trust before offering so-called investment advice about cryptocurrency. And even after paying the fees, many victims aren't able to recover the bulk of what they've already lost, per the FBI's report.

☆ Credit expert: You have 'dozens and dozens' of credit scores, but they should all have one thing in common
▼ + stars: | 2024-09-10 | by ( Cheyenne Devon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

The idea that you only have one credit score isn't true. In fact, it's one of the biggest credit score myths people consistently fall for, says John Ulzheimer, a credit expert who formerly worked for FICO and Experian. "You literally have dozens and dozens and dozens of credit scores that are not all the same three-digit number," he tells CNBC Make It. Unfortunately, the difference in numbers can cause confusion or even mistrust if you're not aware that you have multiple credit scores, Ulzheimer says. "But really, they're not doing anything wrong, they're just pulling a completely different credit report."

☆ Most Americans worry their savings won’t last through retirement—use this calculator to see how much you’ll need

Many Americans worry that the money they've stashed away for retirement may not be enough to sustain them during their post-work years. In fact, nearly 60% of retirees say they're very or somewhat concerned about running out of retirement savings, according to CNBC's August 2024 Your Money retirement survey conducted with SurveyMonkey. A little over 20% of retirees surveyed say they have nothing set aside and 15% say they have less than $50,000 saved. Since retirement can last 25 years or more after you stop working, worries about running out of money are understandable. CNBC Make It's retirement calculator uses factors like your age, income and current retirement savings to give you an estimate of how much you should aim to put away by the time you retire.

The majority of Americans wouldn't be able to cover an unforeseen $1,000 expense with money from their own savings, according to Bankrate's 2024 emergency savings report. Generally, you'll face a 10% penalty for withdrawing money from retirement savings before you reach the age of 59½. For one, you can only make one $1,000 withdrawal per year. But if you don't replace that amount in your retirement account in full or through regular deposits within three years, you won't be able to make another $1,000 withdrawal during that repayment period. And you'll need to self-certify in writing with your retirement plan administrator that you need the money for an emergency.

Until then, bad economic news was good news for the stock market, because it meant the Federal Reserve would start cutting interest rates sooner. On Thursday, a drop in U.S. manufacturing activity for July and a jump in initial jobless claims dragged down the market.
