The price you see on the shelf may not be the exact amount you pay at checkout.

With penny production ended, some merchants have started rounding cash purchases up or down to the nearest nickel. Depending on the total, that could mean a few cents more or a few cents less.

Paying by credit card may come with another wrinkle. Some retailers and service providers are adding surcharges to help offset card processing costs, which may increase the final price.

That means the same purchase could cost slightly different amounts depending on whether you use cash, debit, or credit.

Before you pay, take a second to compare the total for cash, debit, and credit so you know which option makes the most sense for that purchase.

A longer life is a gift, but a healthier life is the goal. 💙

Retirement isn't just about how many years you live, it's about how many of those years you can truly enjoy. The difference between lifespan and healthspan can have a major impact on your quality of life, independence, and finances.

Chronic health issues can lead to rising medical expenses, long-term care costs, and the inability to do the things you've worked so hard to enjoy in retirement. Investing in your health today may be just as important as investing in your future.

The question isn't just, "Will my money last?" It's also, "Will my health allow me to enjoy the life I've planned?"
