The stock market is sitting at historical highs, but inflated valuations mean we could be facing a major correction or extended period of low returns. With leveraged funds adding dangerous fuel to this speculative fire, the risk of a sharp market shock is real. If you’re approaching or currently in retirement, now is the time to review your portfolio.

On the consumer front, T-Mobile is turning its back on the customer-first culture that made it famous, forcing legacy subscribers off locked-in rates and hitting loyal users with continuous price increases. You don’t have to accept a bloated cell phone bill. By breaking up family plans based on actual usage, avoiding the "free iPhone" trap that locks you into expensive contracts, and exploring budget-friendly sub-brands that use the exact same towers, you can slash your monthly bill down to $10–$30 a line. Calculate your annual cell phone spend today—you might be shocked by how much you can save! Compare plans right now at clark.com/phoneplanfinder.
