Gen Z is not banking on an early retirement — or even a traditional one. More than a third of Gen Zers, or people who were born between 1997 and 2012, say the standard retirement age of 65 no longer feels relevant in today’s economy, according to a new survey from insurance company Nationwide. Nearly half (48%) say they plan to work beyond that age, with many pointing to the flexibility of remote work as a reason they can stay in the workforce past 65.

If you're a Supplemental Security Income, or SSI, recipient, you might be surprised to find that there will be no payment in June 2025. But don't fret: This isn't due to any policy change or reduction in benefits. Instead, it's a result of a standard scheduling adjustment by the Social Security Administration, or SSA, to accommodate weekends and federal holidays. Although it may feel like you're missing a month, you’re not losing any money.

2 weeks ago | money.com | Pete Grieve |Julia Glum

After both parties in Washington embraced ending federal income tax on tips during the last election cycle, a bill that would do just that made it through the Senate Tuesday. The big story in Congress right now is that Republican lawmakers in the House are negotiating a large-scale tax bill that would extend 2017 tax cuts and, among other things, end taxes on tips and overtime pay. But while those discussions were playing out on Tuesday, Sen.

2 weeks ago | money.com | Adam Hardy |Julia Glum

Looks can be deceiving, and that’s especially true with those ubiquitous ratings that accompany countless products online and in stores. The five-star rating system, for instance, is commonplace on Google and Amazon. Millions of shoppers rely on it every day to help them decide what to buy, and where. However, just-released research shows that the way the ratings are displayed — whether as a star or a numeral — can make a huge difference in how people interpret them.

President Donald Trump made sweeping changes to the tax code during his first term. Now, he’s trying to do it again. House Republicans are working on a "big, beautiful" bill that would deliver on many of Trump’s economic promises — and impact various aspects of Americans’ personal finances.

3 weeks ago | money.com | Katherine Peach |Julia Glum

The projected cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, for Social Security beneficiaries in 2026 nudged slightly higher this week to 2.4% based on the latest inflation data. That's up from last month's estimates but still falls short of the 2.5% COLA retirees received in 2025. It could also be the smallest benefit bump in five years.
