✈️ Fly through security, build a dividend paycheck & more

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Good morning Reader,

The Federal Reserve has what's called a dual mandate - promote maximum employment and keep inflation in check. If you keep rates high, you risk higher unemployment. If you lower rates too much, you risk higher inflation.

In their most recent meeting, they cut rates by 25 basis points. Borrows benefit from lower interest rates while savers are, surprise surprise, hurt by lower rates.

It remains to be seen if the Fed that walk that tightrope.

✈️ How to Breeze Through Airport Security

If you don't fly often enough to get TSA PreCheck or CLEAR, you could take advantage of a program available through select airports.

You can schedule your security screening and go through a separate, shorter, security line if your airport offers it.

🟢 Could our government re-open soon?

Good morning Reader, At last check, the government looks to be on the verge of reopening after eight Democrats agreed to the resolution in return for a promise of a vote on Affordable Care Act subsidies. Despite what you may think about the politics of the matter, we can all agree it's crazy our country punishes itself like this every few months.
