Why Your Next Home Reno Costs More

Noticed your home project budget is stretching? Thank tariffs for that. Steel and timber prices are up, thanks to new import taxes. Lawmakers say it’s for the country’s good, but for now, expect to pay more for anything from kitchen remodels to backyard decks. The silver lining? Some say these higher prices are just a short-term thing, so maybe hold off on big projects if you can. #Business #MoneyTalk #Tariffs

How Many Lifetimes to Earn a CEO’s Pay?

Ever wondered how long it’d take you to earn what a big-shot CEO makes? Try since before the Revolutionary War! In 2024, the average CEO took home $18.9 million—285 times what the typical worker made. While most of us saw a 3% raise, CEOs’ pay jumped 7%. And thanks to new tax cuts, they’re pocketing way bigger breaks than regular folks. Next time you buy a latte, remember: Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666 times more than the average barista! #Business #PayGap #MoneyTalk

Why Your Mall Might Look Empty Soon

Ever noticed your local shopping center looking a bit emptier? Port Chester’s Waterfront mall just had its value chopped in half—from $178M to $80M—because big stores left and fewer people are shopping in person. Even with new apartments popping up nearby, retail spaces are struggling to keep up. If you see more 'For Lease' signs, it’s not just you—brick-and-mortar shopping is still having a tough time bouncing back after the pandemic. #RealEstate #RetailTrends #MoneyTalk

Bankruptcy & Homebuying: The Real Fallout

Thinking about bankruptcy to wipe out debt? Dave Ramsey says, be ready for a long road back if you dream of owning a home. After bankruptcy, your credit score can take a 200-point nosedive, making it tough to get a mortgage for up to a decade. Lenders see you as a risky bet, so you’ll need to save more for a down payment and might pay higher rates. If homeownership is on your vision board, weigh the long-term impact before hitting reset. #RealEstate #MoneyTalk #HomebuyingTips
