As a financial coach, the surge in "buy now, pay later" schemes alarms me. It indicates that companies may become more exploitative, and individuals might overspend beyond their means. #DebtAwareness #FinancialHealth
Buy now, pay later is booming, and experts say the risks are growing
Buy now, pay later services surged over the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping period. Here’s what consumers should know.

It's a tough time to be a teacher in a public school in America. Teacher appreciation means that we show that by paying them more and not politicizing their roles. #teachers #TeacherApprectiation

“Stay the course” is starting to sound like “thoughts and prayers.” Here’s my take on the market losses this week and what really matters to most people. @marketwatch.com
‘Stay the course’ sounds like advice for rich investors. What can I do now?

Overturning the #CFPB's overdraft fee rule will be expensive--really expensive. Without the rule, 23 million households will pay a collective $𝟓 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 per year.

The Senate has already voted to side with big banks. Now it's up to the House to reject these anti-consumer efforts.
These banks stand to be the biggest winners of the Senate's decision on overdraft fees
Overdraft fees have been on the decline, but a new Senate decision could herald their comeback. See which banks stand to win.

The #CFPB has a wealth of resources that anyone can access and use. If the agency goes away, consumers (we the people) will be vulnerable to fraud and scams. www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-too...

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created by Congress after the Great Recession with the sole mandate to protect consumers. Elon Musk and the Trump admin is attempting dismantle the agency. @laurelwams.bsky.social explains what this means for consumers. www.npr.org/2025/02/15/n...
