Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How Can You Earn $100 Per Month As A Johnson &amp; Johnson Investor?</h2>
If you want to make $100 per month — $1,200 annually — from Johnson &amp; Johnson dividends, your investment value needs to be approximately $36,697, which is around 242 shares at $151.73 each.&nbsp;
Understanding the dividend yield calculations: When making an estimate, you need two key variables — the desired annual income ($1,200) and the dividend yield (3.27% in this case). So, $1,200 / 0.0327 = $36,697 to generate an income of $100 per month.
You can calculate the dividend yield by dividing the annual dividend payments by the current price of the stock.
The dividend yield can change over time. This is the outcome of fluctuating stock prices and dividend payments on a rolling basis.

For instance, assume a stock that pays $2 as an annual dividend is priced at $50. Its dividend yield would be $2/$50 = 4%. If the stock price rises to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). A drop in stock price to $40 will have an inverse effect and increase the dividend yield to 5% ($2/$40).
In summary, income-focused investors may find Johnson &amp; Johnson stock an attractive option for making a steady income of $100 per month by owning 242 shares of stock. There may be more upside to come as investors benefit from the company's consistent dividend hikes. Johnson &amp; Johnson has raised its dividend consecutively for the last 62 years.&nbsp;

How To Put $100 In Your Retirement Fund Each Month With Johnson & Johnson Stock

U.S. stock futures trade mixed in a choppy session on Thursday night, amid President&nbsp;Donald Trump&#8217;s&nbsp;reassurance of a trade deal with Europe and China in the afternoon, following a fresh jab at Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell for not cutting interest rates.
S&amp;P 500 futures are up 0.36% at 5,326, Nasdaq Futures up 0.23% at 18,427, followed by Dow Futures, down 1.14% at 39,398, owing to disappointing earnings results of a few components early in the day.

Japan&#8217;s benchmark Nikkei 225 is up 0.39% after recovering from early losses, as investors interpret key inflation data, which came in at 3.6%, ahead of the Bank of Japan&#8217;s 2.0% target, but below February figures at 3.7%. Pharmaceuticals, auto, and shipping stocks lead the charge as trade talks with the U.S. gain steam.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) pared its gains on Thursday and is now flat at 99.41, up 0.03% at the time of writing.

US Futures Mixed, Nikkei Opens Lower As Investors Digest Inflation Data — Dollar Slides As Trump Takes Fresh Jab At Fed's Powell

On Thursday, Cathie Wood-led Ark Invest made significant trades, most notably offloading ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKB#BATS">ARKB</a>) and pouring funds into the newly listed 3iQ Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ.U).
The ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF Trade
Ark Invest sold a significant number of shares in the ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF. The ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) fund offloaded 39,575 shares, representing 0.25% of the ETF. Based on the last closing price of $84.71, the value of the trade stands at approximately $3.35 million.
This move comes amidst signs of a potential bear market in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>). According to data from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44869153/unrealized-bitcoin-losses-hit-all-time-high-glassnode-says-bear-market-signs">Glassnode</a>, Bitcoin investors are facing unprecedented pressure with the largest unrealized losses on record, concentrated among new market participants.
Even so, Bitcoin showed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44867123/bitcoin-surges-past-82k-despite-u-s-risk-off-mood-is-a-breakout-brewing">impressive strength this week</a>, bouncing from $74K to $84K despite a broader U.S.-focused risk-off environment where even safe-haven assets like Treasuries and the dollar faltered. With stocks down and uncertainty high, Bitcoin&#8217;s 20% gain over six months highlights its growing appeal as an alternative asset. Over 24-hours, Bitcoin traded 0.9% higher at $84,951.
The 3iQ Solana Staking ETF Trade
Simultaneously, Ark Invest made a significant purchase of the 3iQ Solana Staking ETF (SOLQ.U). Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>) and ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>) funds collectively bought 475,000 shares. The transaction was valued at $4.95 million. SOLQ.U ended the day in Toronto at $10.43.
This move aligns with Ark&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855538/cathie-woods-crypto-shuffle-pours-5-2-million-into-newly-listed-solana-staking-fund-dumps-bitcoin-etf-and-buys-robinhood-dip">recent interest</a> in 3iQ Solana Staking ETF, as detailed in a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44855538/cathie-woods-crypto-shuffle-pours-5-2-million-into-newly-listed-solana-staking-fund-dumps-bitcoin-etf-and-buys-robinhood-dip">Benzinga report</a>. On Wednesday, Ark scooped up 500,000 shares of SOLQ.U worth $5.2 million. 
The ETF started trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Wednesday, with major unitholders including SkyBridge Capital, founded and managed by Anthony Scaramucci. It focuses on long-term Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) holdings acquired through over-the-counter counterparties and aims to offer investors "attractive staking rewards," according to a statement from 3iQ, which describes itself as the world's first Digital Assets Managed Account Platform. Solana spiked 2.3% higher at $134.96 over 24 hours.

Cathie Wood's Pours Another $4.95 Million Into Solana Staking ETF, Dumps Bitcoin ETF Again

<ul>
<li>Arthur Hayes has pitched his tent behind Ethereum against Solana.</li>
<li>Hayes argued for owning &#8220;the most hated thing&#8221; at a turn in the market cycle.</li>
<li>Ethereum&#8217;s price action continues to raise concerns in the short term.</li>
</ul>
Amid price struggles over the past two years, Ethereum has been reduced to a meme in cryptocurrency circles, written off by retail <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/03/44356017/standard-chartered-lowers-ethereum-price-target-to-4000-heres-why-a-coinbase-blockchain-is-to-blame">and institutional investors alike</a>.
Well, retail and institutional investors, except BitMEX founder and Maelstrom Chief Investment Officer Arthur Hayes. Where others see a lost cause, Hayes sees opportunity, picking the asset over market rival Solana, one of the best-performing crypto assets of the past two years.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8220;The Most Hated Thing&#8221;</h2>
Hayes has pitched his tent behind Ethereum against Solana. Speaking with Laura Shin on the &#8220;Unchained&#8221; podcast on April 8, the market analyst <a href="https://youtu.be/ZJvsyGr7gBg?si=Oz8YINeiaA5UjXme">tipped</a> Ethereum to outperform Solana in the market&#8217;s next potential move up.
&#8220;You want to own the most hated thing because that&#8217;s going to perform the best, and you don&#8217;t want to own the most loved thing from the previous cycle because that&#8217;s going to perform the worst,&#8221; he asserted, arguing that Ethereum offered a better risk to reward potential than Solana for investors with fresh capital coming into the market.
He stressed that this outlook did not mean that Solana would not also see significant gains but opined that it may not perform as well relative to Ethereum.
&#8220;I think ETH has the market fundamentals to do very well in this next leg up because people hate it so much, and so you know if it starts rising a lot in price, then you start getting &#8216;oh ETH&#8217;s back,&#8217; and everyone forgets all the reason why they hated ETH in the previous cycle, and then they jump on the bandwagon,&#8221; he said.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Another reason Hayes offered for backing Ethereum is an anticipated cool down of the memecoin frenzy on Solana in a potential market leg up.
&#8220;There will be some memecoins that do very, very well, but are we gonna go back to where we were 12 months ago where everybody and their mother was just like slinging memecoins trying to find the $1 million market cap that goes to $100 million market cap and just handing hundreds of millions of dollars in fees to Pump.fun? I don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re going back there,&#8221; he asserted.
Indeed, following several high-profile scandals, the most notable being <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44706269/argentinas-congress-approves-investigation-of-scam-ridden-libra-token-promoted-by-president-javier-milei">the LIBRA saga</a>, the Solana memecoin frenzy has significantly cooled down in recent weeks.

According to Dune Analytics <a href="https://dune.com/adam_tehc/pumpfun">data</a>, daily active wallets on Solana&#8217;s popular memecoin casino Pump.fun have dropped from highs of nearly 425,000 in January to barely 109,000 on April 11, a staggering 74% decline. At the same time, weekly volumes have tanked 73% from $3.3 billion to barely $900,000.
Nonetheless, in the short term, it is Ethereum&#8217;s underwhelming price performance that continues to attract wide concern. Amid recent market turbulence, the asset briefly dropped below the $1,400 price point—levels it first hit at the beginning of 2018.
&#8220;The fact that you can still buy ETH at 2017 levels? It&#8217;s either the market&#8217;s greatest joke – or its greatest opportunity,&#8221; Moonrock Capital CEO Simon Dedic <a href="https://x.com/sjdedic/status/1909330449799037235?t=psrE9bYPTf85lq0Q69jeOg&amp;s=19">lamented</a> at the time.

Why Arthur Hayes Sees Ethereum Outperforming Solana In The Next Market Impulse

In speeches and rallies, President Donald Trump paints a spirited picture of a manufacturing comeback. He wants to fill up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44506409/steve-jobs-warned-34-years-ago-about-america-being-hollowed-out-by-foreign-manufacturing-a-concern-trump-now-echoes">half-empty factories</a>, bring jobs back from overseas and restore America's status as a &#8220;manufacturing superpower.&#8221;
But while Americans might love the idea of more factory jobs, most don't actually want to work in one.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Nostalgic Vision Meets Modern Reality</h2>
Manufacturing once dominated the U.S. job market. In 1970, more than 25% of American workers held manufacturing jobs. Today, it's only around 8%, and many of those jobs look very different than they used to.

<li>Invest in the future of digital engagement: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/vatom-adv">Own a piece of the $100 billion Metaverse for just $500</a>.</li>
</ul>
Despite this drop, support for manufacturing remains high. A 2024 Cato Institute <a href="https://www.cato.org/sites/cato.org/files/2024-08/Globalization%20Survey_2024.pdf">survey</a> found that 80% of Americans believe the country would be better off with more manufacturing jobs. But when asked if they personally would prefer a factory job over their current work, only 25% agreed. About 73% said no, and just 2% of respondents actually work in manufacturing today.

</figure>
So what gives? According to Carolyn Lee, executive director of the Manufacturing Institute, the jobs that still exist in modern factories are not what they used to be. &#8220;The majority of the jobs in the sector are not entry-level jobs that have no skills,&#8221; she told <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/10/business/manufacturing-us-jobs-trump-tariffs/index.html">CNN</a>. These roles now require everything from certifications to software and robotics skills.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs Alone Won't Bring Back the Old Jobs</h2>
Trump believes sweeping tariffs will reverse the decades-long decline in factory work. In a recent social media <a href="https://x.com/TrumpDailyPosts/status/1909784713847321085">post</a>, he wrote, "I'm proud to be the president for the workers, not the outsourcers."
But many economists say the plan oversimplifies the issue. U.S. manufacturing output has actually increased over the last 40 years, even as jobs declined—thanks to automation and improved productivity. American factories now produce more high-value goods with fewer workers.
The push to onshore production also faces a major labor problem. There simply aren't enough Americans willing—or trained—to fill these roles. In February, the U.S. had <a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/jolts.t01.htm">482,000</a> open manufacturing jobs, and projections show 1.9 million may go unfilled by 2033, <a href="https://themanufacturinginstitute.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Digital_Skills_Report_April_2024.pdf">according</a> to Deloitte and the Manufacturing Institute.
&#8220;The skills U.S. workers have are mismatched for manufacturing right now,&#8221; Olaf Groth, a professor at UC Berkeley, told CNN. &#8220;What we need to do is lift the majority of American labor from mid-skilled to high-skilled.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">High Costs, Uncertain Results</h2>
Trump's supporters argue that tariffs will help revive old factory towns. But the costs are high. Tariffs raise the price of imported goods, which hits lower-income families the hardest. A <a href="https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/current-events/us-tariffs">note</a> from JPMorgan Chase summed it up: "At the end of the day, tariffs are a tax on imports… the tax incidence nearly always falls on domestic sellers and consumers, not foreign producers."
Trump&#8217;s steel and aluminum tariffs during his first term are a case in point. They raised costs for U.S. manufacturers and consumers alike. In 2018, the Peterson Institute <a href="https://www.piie.com/blogs/trade-and-investment-policy-watch/steel-profits-gain-steel-users-pay-under-trumps">estimated</a> it cost about $650,000 to save a single job in the steel industry.
There's also no guarantee that jobs would come back <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44660218/commerce-secretary-howard-lutnick-says-army-of-workers-will-build-iphones-in-the-us-but-trumps-tariffs-could-reportedly-push-iphone-16-pro-maxs-prices-to-2300">at the scale envisioned</a>. As Lee noted, new factories may open, but they'll need fewer people. Robots and machines will do most of the manual work. And many Americans just aren't interested. The Cato survey confirms that.

Here's How Much $100 Invested In Automatic Data Processing 10 Years Ago Would Be Worth Today

A 36-year-old Reddit user with $85,000 in savings recently sparked a viral discussion on <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Millennials/comments/1jynv19/to_the_millennials_who_have_no_hope_of_buying_a/">r/Millennials</a> by asking a question that hit a nerve: If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/03/44402207/billionaire-peter-thiel-warns-of-a-looming-real-estate-catastrophe-a-massive-hit-to-the-lower-middle">homeownership is out of reach</a>, what are you doing with your money?
&#8220;I have about $85k in savings and put away $1,200 a month,&#8221; the user wrote. &#8220;I have a good income, but not enough for a bank to want to give me a mortgage.&#8221;
That comment set off hundreds of replies from other millennials who have faced the same struggle: doing everything right financially but still feeling like owning a home is a fantasy.

<li><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">Are you rich?</a> Here&#8217;s what Americans think you need to be considered wealthy.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Laughter, Support, and Shared Struggle</h2>
The top reply, with more than 1,300 upvotes, summed up the mood: &#8220;You have savings?&#8221;
For many, the idea of having tens of thousands stashed away is laughably out of reach. One user admitted they had only $1,200 total. Another said their savings evaporated after an unexpected dental emergency.
Then came the deeper stories. One user said they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/01/42926724/were-350000-in-debt-and-have-no-savings-at-50-this-couple-making-258000-a-year-asks-ramit-sethi-will-i-have-to-work-until-we-die-2">have no savings</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44385855/45-year-old-with-no-401k-making-80k-says-he-prioritized-his-son-and-debts-now-incredibly-stressed-about-retirement-how-can-i-catch-up">no 401(k)</a>, and no inheritance coming: &#8220;So, probably just die at my desk at work.&#8221;
Another shared, &#8220;I&#8217;ve been able to weasel my way into some awesome stuff.&nbsp; I rent a big old farm house for the going rate of a studio (in my area). I&#8217;ve managed my way into a job I&#8217;m underqualified for. I count my blessings every day.&#8221;
Trending: The secret weapon in billionaire investor portfolios that you almost certainly don't own yet. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">See which asset class has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 (1995-2024) – and with near-zero correlation.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">So What Are People Doing With Their Money?</h2>
Many are choosing to put their money into high-yield savings accounts, exchange-traded funds, or just saving for retirement in general.
&#8220;I have $180k in retirement, $50k in emergency savings at 40,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;I probably should have closer to $300k in retirement to comfortably retire.&#8221;
Others are planning to leave the country entirely.
&#8220;Maybe eventually buy a house down in Mexico,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;Just because sh&#x2A;t is unaffordable in America doesn't mean it's like that everywhere.&#8221;
A few even joked about giving up completely: &#8220;Going to spend it on my inevitable relapse,&#8221; someone commented.
But not everyone is throwing in the towel. One said they're saving for an RV and solar panels to travel the country. Another is considering co-owning property with friends through an LLC.
Trending: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Buying Still Matters—But It&#8217;s Complicated</h2>
Some users were confused about why someone with $85,000 and a stable income couldn't get a mortgage. &#8220;Sounds pretty stupid,&#8221; one wrote. Others pointed to location: $85,000 doesn't stretch far in cities like Vancouver, Toronto or San Diego, where even condos can be out of reach.
One commenter explained, &#8220;You could buy an entire house on a piece of land in my state for 130K&#8230; no mortgage.&#8221;
That sentiment was echoed repeatedly. It's not that homeownership is dead everywhere—just in places millennials were told to chase dreams.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Letting Go Of The White Picket Fence</h2>
Beyond the dollars, a shift in mindset is happening. Some said they <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/05/38874948/have-american-renters-given-up-on-the-dream-of-homeownership">no longer want a home at all</a>.
&#8220;Everyone I know who owns a home is constantly doing things around the house,&#8221; one person said. &#8220;How do they make time to do fun things?&#8221;
Others plan to stay renters forever and just build wealth elsewhere. &#8220;Rent is the maximum you'll pay, a mortgage is the minimum you'll pay,&#8221; someone pointed out.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Hope, If You Squint</h2>
Despite the bleak tone, most replies had a sense of solidarity. The financial system may be broken, but millennials aren't giving up entirely. They're just shifting the goalposts.
&#8220;I'm saving/investing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-retire-at-55">be able to retire early</a>. Every month matters!&#8221; one user said.
Another summed it up: &#8220;Keep saving and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44737339/americans-have-401ks-not-cash-lying-around-to-buy-stocks-says-an-investor-exposure-to-the-market-doesnt-mean-they-can-buy-the-dip">keep investing</a>. You will get to where you want to be eventually.&#8221;
The dream might be dead, but the money—and the grit—is still there, at least for some millennials.

President Donald Trump's aggressive new round of China tariffs has temporarily spared electronics like smartphones and laptops, but that grace period is short-lived.&nbsp;
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Sunday told <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/commerce-secretary-lutnick-tariff-exemptions-electronics-temporary/story?id=120752319">ABC's "This Week"</a> that Apple and other tech companies should expect new semiconductor-specific tariffs "in probably a month or two."&nbsp;
Apple's dependence on China is massive. Roughly 90% of iPhones are made there. As <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/11/iphone-apple-trump-tariffs-tech-us-china">The Guardian reports</a>, if tariffs stick and Apple doesn't shift production, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could jump from $1,199 to $2,150 — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/44728758/trumps-tariffs-could-push-apple-iphone-prices-to-a-staggering-3500-says-top-analyst">or even $3,500</a> if production were forced into the U.S.

Ironically, this was a debate 14 years ago.
At a 2011 Silicon Valley dinner with then-President Barack Obama, Apple CEO <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44780772/bill-gates-said-its-a-gross-oversimplification-to-compare-elon-musk-to-genius-steve-jobs-you-wouldnt-walk-into-a-room-and-confu">Steve Jobs </a>gave a blunt answer when asked what it would take to make iPhones in America: "Those jobs aren't coming back." That quote, reported by <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/business/apple-america-and-a-squeezed-middle-class.html">The New York Times</a>, captured the stark reality of globalized manufacturing.&nbsp;
It wasn't just about labor costs. At the time of the 2011 article, experts estimated that paying American wages would only add about $65 to each iPhone.
The real issue was China's supply chain dominance. "You need a million screws? That factory is a block away," a former Apple executive told the Times.
In that same dinner, Jobs said that Apple could potentially bring some high-skill manufacturing to the U.S. if the government helped train engineers. But he was clear: America didn't have the mid-level engineering workforce or production speed needed to compete.
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Current Apple CEO Tim Cook has tried to soften that stance. Apple in Februay <a href="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/02/apple-will-spend-more-than-500-billion-usd-in-the-us-over-the-next-four-years/">announced</a> plans to invest $500 billion in the U.S. over four years, building a new factory in Texas and expanding teams across 10 states. But most iPhones are still made abroad.
Even back in 2012, Cook pledged $100 million to build some Mac computers in the U.S. While this move garnered attention, analysts viewed it as a strategic decision rather than a significant shift in Apple's manufacturing strategy. Tom Dinges, a senior supply chain analyst at IHS, <a href="https://www.wired.com/2012/12/apple-insourcing/">told Wired</a> the impact would be minimal across Apple's global operations.
But more than a decade later, the conditions Cook once hedged against may be catching up.
Apple has started ramping up production in India, aiming for 25 million units this year, but China remains its manufacturing heart. As Trump pushes tariffs, Apple may be forced to test Jobs' theory — whether those jobs really are gone for good, or whether a $3,500 iPhone is what it takes to bring them home.

Spring offers an ideal opportunity to refresh financial health. Just as decluttering a home brings clarity and calm, conducting a financial spring cleaning can help gain control, reduce stress and set the stage for future success. Here are key<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/04/44854372/gold-hits-new-record-highs-as-safe-haven-demand-climbs-2-ways-to-invest"> steps to consider:</a>
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Review Budget and Spending</h1>
Begin by revisiting the household budget. Track expenses over recent months to reveal unnecessary or impulsive purchases and adjust the budget to align with current financial goals — such as saving for a vacation, paying down debt or building an emergency fund.&nbsp;
Credit Karma, an app from Intuit Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTU#NASDAQ">INTU</a>), can organize each transaction by category and track spending habits and identify leftover funds available for investing or saving.&nbsp;

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Tackle Debt Strategically</h1>
Addressing debt is an essential part of financial spring cleaning. Listing all debts, including interest rates and minimum payments, can help prioritize high-interest debts like credit cards. Paying off high-interest debt quickly helps save money and can enhance credit scores.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Optimize Savings</h1>
Evaluate savings accounts and emergency funds often, but at least once a year. Ideally, an emergency fund should cover three to six months of expenses or more. Automatic transfers to savings accounts can facilitate the steady growth of financial reserves.&nbsp;
Acorns offers<a href="https://www.acorns.com/"> an app </a>that can automatically transfer small amounts from a checking account into a savings account to build an emergency fund over time.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Check Subscriptions and Bills</h1>
Reviewing and canceling unused subscriptions, as well as negotiating bills such as cable, internet or insurance, can lead to significant monthly savings. The savings can then be redirected toward more important financial objectives.&nbsp;
Rocket Money, an app from Rocket Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKT#NYSE">RKT</a>), can help identify unused or duplicate subscriptions and even help to cancel them.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Plan for the Future</h1>
Review retirement accounts and investment portfolios to ensure that asset allocation matches risk tolerance and time horizons. For those who have yet to begin investing, spring presents an excellent opportunity to start.
Some online brokerages, like Robinhood Markets, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HOOD#NASDAQ">HOOD</a>) and Webull Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BULL#NASDAQ">BULL</a>), offer retirement investment accounts and easy-to-learn apps.&nbsp;
