Christine Baxter+FollowCarnival Cruises Just Flipped the Loyalty ScriptCarnival Cruises is shaking up its loyalty game: starting 2026, it’s not about how many nights you cruise, but how much you spend. So, splurging on spa days, fancy dinners, or even drinks now gets you more perks than just racking up nights at sea. The catch? Status resets every two years, so you’ve got to keep spending to stay VIP. Royal Caribbean fans are watching closely—will their perks be next? #CruiseLife #TravelHacks #CarnivalCruise #Business #MakeMoney30Share
Diane Carter+FollowCD or Money Market? Here’s the Real DealEver wondered where your $10K will grow faster—locked up in a CD or chilling in a money market account? Right now, both offer similar interest, but CDs lock in your rate (and your cash), while money markets let you dip in and out. The catch? Money market rates can change anytime. Some savers are splitting their cash between both to snag the best of both worlds. Smart move if you want to keep your options open! #MoneyHacks #SavingsTips #PersonalFinance #Business #MakeMoney00Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowWho’s Getting That $1,900 Social Security Drop?Heads up if your birthday’s at the end of the month: your Social Security check (about $1,900 for most folks) lands next Wednesday! If you’re retired, on disability, or a survivor, check your bank app for that deposit. The big shift? Direct deposit means most people get paid by breakfast, but paper checks still take a few days. If your money’s late, don’t panic—give it three days, then check your SSA account or call them up. Mark your calendar for July’s payment dates too! #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #RetirementReady #Business #MakeMoney121102Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowDid Your Social Security Hit Yet?Heads up! Social Security checks are dropping this week for folks who started benefits after May 1997 and have birthdays between the 11th and 20th. The SSA is now sorting payments by your birth date, so mark your calendar! If you’re budgeting for rent or groceries, knowing your exact pay date is clutch. Pro tip: Set up direct deposit to skip mail delays and get your money right on time. If your payment’s late, give it three days, then check your SSA account or call in. Patience pays off! #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #Budgeting #Business #MakeMoney6530Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowDid You Just Unlock Surprise Social Security $$?Heads up if you or someone you know worked a job that didn’t pay into Social Security—like teachers or government workers! Thanks to a new law, you might finally get spousal or survivor benefits that were blocked before. Some folks could even get back pay. It’s like finding money you didn’t know you had. If you think you missed out, check your Social Security account or call them to see if you qualify. Don’t leave free money on the table! #SocialSecurity #MoneyHacks #RetirementTips #Business #MakeMoney232Share
Diane Carter+FollowSocial Security Checks Might Get a BoostHeads up if you’re counting on Social Security: your monthly check could go up in 2026! The latest buzz says payments might rise by 2.5% to keep up with higher prices at the grocery store and gas pump. But here’s the twist—if inflation numbers are off because fewer stores are being checked, that raise might not match real-life costs. Double-check your info with Social Security so your payment lands on time! #SocialSecurity #MoneyTips #Inflation #Business #MakeMoney373254Share
Robyn Anderson+FollowSocial Security Cuts: Are You Ready?Heads up: Social Security might run out of extra cash a year sooner than we thought—2034 instead of 2035. That means your future retirement check could get a haircut unless Congress steps in. Why? More people are retiring than paying in, so the piggy bank is emptying fast. If you’re counting on Social Security, now’s the time to check your savings game plan. Don’t wait for lawmakers to fix it—future you will thank you! #SocialSecurity #RetirementPlanning #MoneyHacks #Business #MakeMoney139245Share
Emily Rogers+FollowWould You Pay $800 for a Credit Card?Chase just cranked up the annual fee on its Sapphire Reserve card to a jaw-dropping $795. Unless you’re dropping $75k a year on travel and dining, those perks might not actually pay off. Some cardholders are side-eyeing the new benefits like free DoorDash and Apple TV+, wondering if it’s worth the splurge. If you’re not a big spender, maybe stick to cards with simpler rewards—or just pocket one of those sweet sign-up bonuses instead! #MoneyHacks #CreditCardTips #ChaseSapphire #Business #MakeMoney10Share
Christine Baxter+FollowWhy Are Groceries on Layaway Now?Ever thought about putting your groceries on layaway? More folks are using 'buy now, pay later' apps like Klarna and Afterpay just to cover food runs. It sounds handy, but if you miss a payment, you could get hit with fees or even ding your credit score. Instead, try using a rewards credit card (and pay it off monthly), shop at budget stores like Aldi, or use cash-back apps to stretch your dollars without the risk! #MoneyHacks #GrocerySavings #BNPL #Business #MakeMoney20Share
Emily Rogers+FollowStudent Loan Deadline Sneaks Up—Are You Ready?Heads up if you’ve got student loans: a big deadline is coming up, and missing it could mess with your paycheck and credit score. Over 5 million people are behind on payments, and if you hit 270 days late, you’re officially in default. That means more than just annoying calls—it could cost you big time. If you’re struggling, now’s the moment to check your loan status, call your servicer, and see if you can switch to a lower payment plan or get a pause. Don’t let this sneak up on you! #StudentLoans #MoneyHacks #PersonalFinance #Business #MakeMoney00Share
