Memorial Day Shopping: What to Buy, What to Skip, and How to Save

Shoppers plan to participate in Memorial Day sales, but budgets are tight. Experts say the best buys are seasonal outdoor gear, travel-related items, and mattresses/appliances, while avoiding electronics and most summer fashion for later sales. To maximize savings, make a budgeted list, track prices with tools like Keepa, CamelCamelCamel, and Honey, stack cashback and promo codes, and consider shipping and price-matching policies. Sales often start early and run through Memorial Day, with online and in-store options; inflation and tariffs may limit discounts and stock.

Lower-income Americans burn through savings as inflation bites

Americans are drawing down savings as inflation and higher gas prices bite, with the personal savings rate at 3.6% in March—the lowest since the 2022 spike—while lower-income households cut spending and tap into cash, even as higher earners continue spending and the labor market remains resilient; the divergence points to a K-shaped economy.

CapOne $425M payout: see if you qualify for the settlement

Capital One is distributing about $425 million to current and former customers who held a Capital One 360 Savings account at any time from Sept. 18, 2019, to June 16, 2025. Payments will be issued automatically (no action required) and vary based on how long you held the account and the balance. To check eligibility, sign in to Capital One’s app or website, select the account, then view details or statements; accounts opened after June 16, 2025 are ineligible. The settlement stemmed from claims that the two accounts — 360 Savings and 360 Performance Savings — had similar names but different rates, and customers weren’t clearly told which they held.

70-Year-Olds Face Wide Retirement-Savings Gap, Median About $200K

The article uses Federal Reserve data for ages 65–74 to show a clear gap in retirement wealth: the mean savings is about $609,230 while the median is around $200,000, with 401(k) balances averaging $299,442 (median $95,425). Many 70-year-olds are already taking withdrawals, so coordinating drawdowns with Social Security and home equity is crucial, especially as health‑care inflation outpaces Social Security COLAs (2.4% vs. 5.8% in 2026). A rough guide using the 4% rule suggests $200k yields ~ $8k/year, $600k about $24k, and $1M about $40k, with Social Security expected to fill the gap. The piece also suggests practical steps to boost or stretch savings in the 70s, such as downsizing, leveraging home equity (reverse mortgage/HELOC), or taking part-time work to help ensure a sustainable income into the 80s and beyond.

FTSE 100 Reaches Record Highs: Is It Time to Invest?

The FTSE 100 has reached a record high, prompting discussions on whether now is a good time to invest, especially for first-timers. While investing can offer higher long-term returns compared to savings, it involves risks, and many people still lack sufficient emergency savings. The government and regulators are encouraging more investment, but caution is advised due to potential overvaluation and market volatility, particularly in AI-related stocks. New rules will also make financial guidance more accessible, though not personalized, to help consumers make informed decisions.
