I stopped spending money on things that weren't of value to me." Side hustles and investing in retirement can boost one's savingsOver the past decade, Grumet has padded his savings through various income streams. In addition to hospice work, he's also tried side hustles that include medical expert work, nursing home medical directing, medical blogging, and several forms of consulting. While the extra income has helped boost his savings, Grumet said investing much of this income into the stock market — and seeing strong investment returns — is what's allowed his finances to truly blossom. Grumet said his retirement goal was to have at least 25 times his total annual spending in savings — he's already met this milestone.

Stocks had a rough week, topped off with a pummeling Friday after the July jobs data came in weaker than expected. 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. Next week is light on economic data, so expect earnings reports and CEO commentaries to drive the market action.

☆ Home flipping and BRRRR are back: Interest rate cuts are set to fuel a resurgence in the real-estate investing strategies, says BiggerPockets' housing-market guru
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-04 | by ( William Edwards | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Read previewHome flipping and the BRRRR method have been in the doghouse among much of the real-estate investing community over the last couple of years. As the Federal Reserve jacked up interest rates and home prices cooled off, warnings about the viability of these strategies abounded. But now, the popular strategies are due for a resurgence, according to Dave Meyer, BiggerPockets' housing market expert. Related storiesOne piece of evidence for this is that home flipping profits have generally been on the rise since the start of 2023 and jumped significantly in Q1 2024, according to real-estate data firm ATTOM. Further, he argues, the housing market is not as volatile as the stock market, and it's rare to see forced selling on a grand scale, he said.

I am just prematurely predicting other investors fleeing the stock because they think Warren knows more than them. Many investors thought that Amazon was the best set up of the Mag Seven going into earnings.

In addition to downcast labor market data, the ISM Manufacturing Index fell further into contraction territory this week, signaling that US manufacturing continues to slow. The market's direction also depends on how investors interpret interest rate cuts alongside future data. Fed funds rate futures markets are now pricing in a 50-basis-point cut in September, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

☆ 41 cities for hopeful homebuyers looking for leverage at work as unemployment rises

Leading real-estate analyst Ivy Zelman recently told Business Insider that entry-level houses are still about 20% more expensive than normal. While the unemployment rate remains relatively low, it has now risen for four straight months and appears to be accelerating. A higher unemployment rate is a troubling sign for employees, including those who have jobs and aren't looking to leave. In a tight job market, workers can demand higher raises since there aren't as many viable replacements for them if they left. Note that data for the cities is from June — the most current data obtained by Business Insider — while the national data is from July.

Job growth in the U.S. slowed much more than expected during July and the unemployment rate ticked higher, the Labor Department reported Friday. The unemployment rate edged higher to 4.3%, its highest since October 2021. "Temperatures might be hot around the country, but there's no summer heatwave for the job market," said Becky Frankiewicz, president of the Manpower Group employment agency. From a sector standpoint, health care again led in job creation, adding 55,000 to payrolls. The labor force also contracted by 214,000, though the participation rate as a share of the working-age population actually edged higher to 62.7%.

☆ Famine declared in Sudan’s war-ravaged Darfur region after months of civil war

CNN —Famine has officially been declared in at least one refugee camp sheltering hundreds of thousands of people in the Darfur region of Sudan, food security organizations announced, a stark warning of the cost being paid by the population after 15 months of civil war. Famine has been ongoing in the Zanzam camp near the city of El Fasher since June, according to the United Nations-backed Famine Review Committee (FRC). The last time the FRC declared a famine was in 2017, when 80,000 people in South Sudan faced famine conditions in parts of Unity State after three years of civil war. Although this was also limited to the Zanzam camp, it warned famine could spread across the rest of El Fasher, which is home to an additional estimated 800,000 people. Both groups warned the famine at Zanzam is likely to last at least until October and potentially much longer.

☆ Surging US unemployment has triggered a recession indicator with a perfect track record
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-02 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Read previewA closely watched recession indicator flashed on Friday after a weak July jobs report showed an unexpected surge in the unemployment rate. The Sahm Rule, created by former Federal Reserve official Claudia Sahm, triggers when the unemployment rate's three-month moving average moves 50 basis points above its 12-month low. That rule was triggered on Friday, with the moving average rising 53 basis points above that one-year trough, according to the real-time Sahm Rule Recession Indicator from the St. Louis Federal Reserve. The only misfire for the rule was in 1959, but even then, a recession started just five months after the Sahm Rule flashed. But Sahm herself wrote in a Substack post last week that "the rise in the unemployment rate is not as ominous as it would normally seem."

The 10-Year US Treasury yield plunged nearly 20 basis points to a 2024 low of 3.80% immediately after the jobs report was released.
