Danielle Anderson+FollowIs Your Bank Sitting on a Ticking Time Bomb?Here’s a money lifehack: keep an eye on your bank’s health! Banks are still nursing huge losses from when interest rates shot up, and if the economy gets rocky (think: prices up, growth down), we could see another Silicon Valley Bank-style meltdown. If you’ve got more than $250K in a single bank, consider spreading it out—just in case. One bad headline could send people running for their cash, and that’s when things get messy. #MoneyHacks #Banking101 #FinancialTips #EconChatter #Business00Share

jhampton+FollowWhy Empty Ports Matter More Than StocksForget the stock market drama—if you really want to know how the economy’s doing, check out the ports. Thanks to new tariffs, ships from China are skipping LA, and that means fewer gadgets, clothes, and even jobs. If you notice emptier shelves or slower shipping, it’s not just you. When ports slow down, everything from truckers to warehouse gigs takes a hit. So next time you’re waiting on a package, blame the tariff tango, not just Wall Street! #SupplyChain #Tariffs #MoneyHacks #EconChatter #Business163Share
