Bryan Grant+FollowWhy Your Change Is Getting Rounded UpHeads up: your penny jar could be more valuable than you think! With the U.S. pausing new penny production, stores are running low and many are rounding your change up to the nearest nickel. Some spots even offer gift cards or freebies for your spare coins. So, if you’re paying cash, don’t be surprised if you get a little bonus—or get asked to use a card instead. Time to cash in that coin stash! #Business #LocalBusiness #MoneyHacks11Share
Diane Carter+FollowHow to Not Get Scammed With Big ChecksEver get handed a cashier’s check for a car or house deal and think, “Sweet, I’m set”? Not so fast. Scammers love these checks because banks make the money look available fast, but if the check is fake, you’re on the hook—sometimes weeks later. Always verify the check with the issuing bank (don’t use the number on the check!) and never hand over your car or keys until you’re 100% sure the money is real. Protect your wallet! #Business #MakeMoney #MoneyHacks00Share
Gregory Mann+FollowHow to Get Monthly Cash Flow Like a ProEver wish your savings could pay you every month, like clockwork? Check out the iShares Investment Grade Bond ETF (LQD)—it’s basically a basket of 3,000+ company IOUs that paid out a 10% return last year, plus steady monthly income. The catch? If interest rates jump, your balance could dip. For lower fees, Vanguard’s VCIT is a solid swap. Perfect for those who want mailbox money, but not for folks who panic at price swings! #Business #Market #MoneyHacks00Share
Danielle Anderson+FollowWhy These 3 Giants Rule Your Digital LifeEver wonder why your phone, work, and Google searches just work?

For us, that means convenience, but it also means fewer choices and higher prices. Still, if you’re investing for the long haul, these giants are hard to beat for steady growth. #Business #Market #MoneyHacks00Share
