Kimberly Palmer: How to bolster your financial confidence

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:43:42 GMT

Melinda Perez, a financial educator, still remembers the first time she felt financially confident. She had recently started investing money outside of her employer-sponsored retirement account because she was finally earning more than she spent. “It was exciting because for once, I had what felt like extra money,” recalls Perez, who lives in San Antonio, Texas.Financial confidence, or the belief in one’s money-related abilities, might not come up as much as financial literacy — especially in April, Financial Literacy Month — but money experts say it’s often the hidden ingredient behind savvy money decisions. “If there’s no financial confidence, there is no willpower to succeed. We translate that to financial self-efficacy,” says Perez, who also studies financial confidence as part of her research as a doctoral candidate in organizational leadership.But confidence with money can be hard to come by. According to a NerdWallet survey in January, three quarters of Americans say they do ...

From the ring to the streets: Meet Elia Carranza, BSO deputy who’s also a pro fighter

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:43:42 GMT

In a world where most people stick to one career, Elia Carranza has chosen two. When she’s not fighting in the ring as a professional athlete, she’s out on the streets as a Broward Sheriff’s Office deputy, serving and protecting her community.“I love it, I absolutely love it,” said Carranza about her dual careers. “I love coming out here, but it’s always that you never know what you’re coming into.”Carranza is currently ranked among the best in her weight class and sport. Her time in the ring has honed her “seek and destroy” mentality, giving her the drive and determination to go after her goals relentlessly, but her work as a deputy has also helped her become a more well-rounded fighter. “That’s the mentality. You gotta go, go, go. There’s this dog, lion, wolf mentality that we just have when we’re in here,” she said. “On the road, it’s more so, I’m protecting people ev...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three Tennessee lawmakers who faced expulsion votes after participating in protests over last month’s school shooting in Nashville will visit the White House to meet with President Joe Biden on Monday.Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announced the visit on Wednesday. She said Biden was “proud” and “appreciative” to see the three state representatives calling for stronger gun restrictions, particularly a ban on so-called assault weapons.The president spoke with the lawmakers to thank them “for speaking out and for standing their ground, and being very clear about what’s needed to protect their communities,” Jean-Pierre said.The expulsion votes added a level of political drama and controversy to the violence at The Covenant School, where three children and three adults were killed.Two of the lawmakers — Rep. Justin Pearson and Rep. Justin Jones, both Black — were expelled by the Republican-controlled legislature. The third, Rep. Gloria Johnson, who is w...

EU nears endgame of trade talks with Australia

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 02:43:42 GMT

Australian and European trade negotiators are meeting this week for what they hope will be the last formal negotiating round of the EU-Australia trade talks. But don’t hold your breath for a handshake between the two top politicians just yet.The endgame of the negotiations will be crucial for Brussels, as it set to have an impact on politically powerful groups like French farmers, German carmarkers and Italian parmesan-makers. Meanwhile, Canberra is positioning itself as more “hard to get” than its smaller neighbor New Zealand, which sealed its own trade deal with Brussels last year. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made the deal a priority for the bloc in its quest to cut the EU’s trade dependency on countries like Russia and other more autocratic regimes, while improving Europe’s competitiveness. It would be a big geopolitical win to seal such a pact with a like-minded country, even though Australia is not one of the EU’s l...

Hours before Jhony Brito’s final start of spring training, Luis Severino checked in with the pitcher who ultimately replaced him in the Yankees’ rotation.News of Severino’s latest injury, a lat strain, broke the day before, and everyone around the Yankees knew Brito’s start doubled as an audition. Everyone, that is, except for Brito.The possibility of beginning the season in the majors “never crossed my mind,” Brito told the Daily News. “I didn’t think it was possible.”The 25-year-old had never pitched above Triple-A, and he ranked 27th on the organization’s list of prospects. Brito assumed that, after already losing Carlos Rodon and Frankie Montas, the Yankees would add an experienced starter as teams made cuts at the end of camp.Severino set the youngster straight and explained the opportunity.“I just told him, ‘This is it, bro. If you impress today, you’re gonna make the team,’” Severino tol...
