derek12+FollowWhy Steve Jobs’ Billions Won’t Go to His KidsHere’s a twist: Steve Jobs’ wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, is worth over $12 billion, but she’s not leaving it to their kids. Instead, she’s using her fortune to fund causes she cares about, like education and the environment. Her kids are making their own way—one’s a writer, another’s an investor, and one’s a model. Laurene says legacy wealth isn’t her thing, so she’s giving it all away for good. Talk about a different kind of family plan! #Business #MoneyTalks #Philanthropy247Share
Danielle White+FollowWhat Your Grocery Cart REALLY SaysEver peeked at someone’s grocery cart and wondered what it says about their life? Turns out, your cart is basically a financial diary. Bulk buys could mean you’re a planner—or just anxious about prices. All generic brands? Maybe you’re saving for something big, or maybe every dollar counts. Splurging on fancy cheese? That’s either confidence or a little denial. Even your go-to snacks spill the tea on your money habits. Next time you shop, check your cart—what’s it really saying about you? #News #MoneyTalks #GroceryCartConfessions20Share
Michael Austin+FollowCan You Really Get 10% Returns Safely?So, you’ve hit 50 with $5 million in the bank—nice! But if you’re hoping to park that cash somewhere for a year and make 5-10% with zero risk, you might want to lower your expectations. Right now, the safest bets—like high-yield savings, CDs, or Treasuries—are offering closer to 4%. Chasing higher returns means rolling the dice, and nobody wants to see their nest egg scramble. Sometimes, boring is better when you’re this close to the finish line! #Business #Market #MoneyTalks94Share
randerson+FollowWould You Buy a 'Haunted' Mansion?Epstein’s luxury homes sold for way less than their asking prices—think $51M for a NYC mansion once listed at $88M. Why the markdown? No one wants a house with that kind of baggage. Most of the cash went to victim funds, but there’s still millions sitting in the estate. Real estate lesson: a property’s past can tank its value, no matter how fancy the zip code. Would you buy a place with a dark history if it meant a discount? #RealEstate #MoneyTalks #LifeHacks145Share
eric01+FollowIs the 'Everything Bubble' About to Burst?Heads up, coffee crew: Albert Edwards, the guy who called the dot-com crash, is waving a big red flag again. He says US stocks and home prices are way too high—like, 'everything bubble' high—and could pop soon. Why? Rising interest rates mean investors might ditch risky stocks for safer bets, and the US housing market hasn’t cooled off like Europe’s. If Japan keeps raising rates, it could shake things up globally. Maybe time to check your 401(k) and not go all-in on that dream house just yet! #Business #Market #MoneyTalks5731Share
