Coming up danon alright, july 4th travel coming up here and were going to see the lowest gas prices that weve seen in years. Black its Pretty Amazing isnt it . So, because most of us we fill up our tank of gas and we look at it as kind of a tax when gas is expensive. Right now, its not expensive. Drivers on the road this fourth of july. Were going to see the cheapest gas prices since 2005. U. S. Consumers are going to see 2. 21 cents per gallon at the pump. And again youre not going to see that in california because california has really high taxes. Prices are expected to be lower than they were on new years day this year about 12 cents. Gas prices are down 15 cents in the last couple of weeks. Opec tried to cut the supply by cutting how many barrels were on the market. But theres just no enough demand. 64 percent of travelers said that gas prices do not impact their decision. But again we do end up with more money in our pockets. About 50 to 60 percent of drivers are going to take to the road this year with trips over 500 miles. Its up nine percent from last year so we are driving and we are consuming that gasoline but again, cheap gas. Fourth of july. Its pretty sweet. Danon we certainly love it. It turns out were going to get less in Social Security than our parents did. Black yes because theres a trick inside of Social Security that if you wait until your full retirement age and you delay it a couple years, you get 8 percent each year that you delay it. And because the Social Security age is creeping up higher and higher were going to get less and less. So right now if you delay your retirement to 70 and a half. You get the maximum benefit but if theyre forcing you to call your first year of retirement a little bit early. 65 is the age that you can retire. Thats what it used to be. Now its 66 in two months so weve already lost 7 or 8 months there. And a year plus. And thats going to continue to go in that trend so Social Security. Talked with a financial planner. Financial planners wont even count Social Security if youre under the age of 45. Black if you have a question for rob, post it on his Facebook Page and well try to answer it on the air here on kron4.
