ALICE Americans make above the federal poverty level but not enough to comfortably afford all their daily expenses, often making too much to qualify for government assistance. The ALICE Essentials Index, which includes housing, childcare, food, transportation, healthcare, and technology costs, has risen by a projected 7.3% annually from 2021 to 2023; comparatively, CPI has risen by 6.1%. The ALICE Essentials Index for rural areas was slightly higher than that for urban areas, at 7.5% and 7.2%, respectively. "Long before everybody else was upset about inflation, ALICE was dealing with inflation," Hoopes said. Still, ALICE Americans tend to be overrepresented in these roles, as many pay below the ALICE threshold of about $55,000 a year.

Bitcoin mining companies have expansive data centers, with access to fiber lines and large amounts of power across the U.S. They're exactly the types of facilities needed for compute-intensive AI operations, which means their sites and technology are in high demand. Core Scientific will deliver 70 megawatts of computing infrastructure to support CoreWeave's operations. Earlier this month, CoreWeave offered to buy Core Scientific for $1.02 billion, not long after their initial agreement. Core Scientific rejected the bid.

If you've been waiting until the last minute in hopes of snagging a July 4 travel deal, it's time to take the plunge. Katy Nastro, a travel expert at Going, tells CNBC Make It that holding out for a super-cheap flight is a strategy that is likely to backfire. "You don't want to wait any longer hoping and praying that some magic cheap flight is going to drop in price by 50%," she says. You're more likely to find a better price on winter holiday flights than you are for the July 4 holiday. "You're more likely to find a better price on winter holiday flights than you are for the July 4 holiday," she says.

Lower Social Security COLA forecast for 2025Unlike most other sources of retirement income, Social Security benefits are automatically adjusted for inflation each year. As current retirees continue to feel the pinch of higher costs, slowing inflation points to a lower Social Security cost-of-living adjustment next year. The Social Security cost-of-living adjustment may be 3% in 2025, estimates Mary Johnson, an independent Social Security and Medicare analyst. In contrast, beneficiaries saw a 3.2% Social Security cost-of-living adjustment this year — resulting in an average retirement benefit increase of just over $50 per month. That followed record high Social Security cost-of-living adjustments of 8.7% in 2023 and 5.9% in 2022.

After my kids were born, my love for online grocery ordering grew even more. While I used to use a grocery delivery service nearly every week, I only use it in a pinch now. On top of that, there can be things like pick-up fees, service fees, delivery charges, and tips if you use a grocery delivery service. All of this means that I end up having to go to the grocery store anyway, usually stressed because I was counting on the grocery delivery service to save time. Using a grocery delivery service can save time and energy, but it also comes with added costs and, oftentimes, frustration.

Hispanic consumers will likely continue buying Constellation Brands beer even as they tighten their purse strings, according to Jefferies, which can help the company as many shoppers experience economic stress. More than 40% of households purchasing Constellation's beer brands such as Corona and Modelo are Hispanic, according to Jefferies analyst Kaumil Gajrawala. But the Hispanic consumer base is tightening its belt elsewhere within the budgets and keeping up its Constellation spending, the analyst found. Jefferies data shows total beer spend across brands from Hispanic buyers is down 9% from 13 weeks ago. At Constellation Brands specifically, it ticked up just 1%, clearly boosted by the continued support of the Hispanic community.

Jim Holthouser, CEO of GoTo Foods, formerly known as Focus Brands, said that some diners had been limiting their spending. GoTo Foods owns Cinnabon, Auntie Anne's, Jamba, Moe's Southwest Grill, McAlister's Deli, Schlotzsky's, and Carvel. The data only compares restaurant spending in 2019 and 2023, and doesn't show how this has changed in recent months. Estimated retail sales from GoTo Foods' licensing partners totaled about $1.5 billion in 2023, or just over a quarter of total sales across its brand portfolio.

Novak Djokovic once again came back from the precipice of defeat at the French Open after beating Argentine Francisco Cerundolo in Paris. GO DEEPER Novak Djokovic wins at 3:06 a.m. in latest finish in French Open historyCerundolo then settled, and Djokovic, unlike against Musetti when he was down and looked out, failed to rouse himself. After going 2-0 down in the final set, he broke straight back, drawing level at 2-2. Djokovic just wasn’t moving well enough to win the match, it appeared, and Cerundolo was repeatedly exploiting this with well-placed drop shots. A dive volley at full stretch in the seventh game of the final set was Djokovic at his very best.

What Is a Wire Transfer?
  + stars: | 2024-05-30 | by ( Cheryl Lock | Sophia Acevedo | Read More | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
There are two ways to wire money: through a bank or through a wire service. How wire transfers workThe process of initiating a wire transferWire transfers typically come in two forms: a transfer between banks or through a money service, like Western Union. In general, a bank account wire transfer tends to cost less than using a service like Western Union. A wire transfer is a secure, electronic transfer of funds from one bank account to another. It's always good practice to review the recipient's information before initiating a wire transfer, and only send money to people you trust because it's difficult to reverse or cancel a transfer.
