Reporter the white house is expected to announce the president s trip to cuba sometime later today. It has been just over a year since mr. Obama said he would begin normalizing relations. Many critics are saying it is much too soon to reward the castro regime. A Senior Administration official telling nbc news that president obama will visit cuba in march marking the first time in 88 years a sitting president will visit cuba. These 50 years have shown it is time for a new approach. Reporter warming relations began after facetoface meetings. The pair announcing in late 2014 that they would begin normalizing ties.

Since then secretary of state john kerry travelled to the island and this week signed a deal to resume air traffic. Still there are hurdles. Tourists cannot visit the island and trade cannot resume until an embargo is lifted. Ted cruz and marco rubio were quick to pounce on the announcement. Rubio saying he would not go if he were president. Just communist dictatorship but antiamerican. I am saddened to hear i wasnt surprised. Reporter mr.

I dont know if we will have a lawsuit but we want to keep somebody honest. Reporter trump still dominates with cruz behind. Marco rubio is picking up speed and another critical endorsement from governor nikki haley. We say that every day is a gate great day in South Carolina. Ladies and gentlemen, if we elect marco rubio every day will be a great day in america. Reporter not a great day for jeb bush who 24 hours earlier told nbc news haleys endorsement would be the most powerful in the state. Its all been decided apparently. The pundits have made it all decided. We dont have to vote it is all finished. I should stop campaigning maybe. Thats not how democracy works. Reporter here is something you dont see every day. Jeb bush chest bumping his brother back stage after w. s endorsement part of a new campaign video. Jeb heard saying thanks, i love you. I dont think the president was ready for that chest bump.

Sanders will be appealing to nevada voters during a democratic town hall on msnbc. With just two days before the caucuses clintons lead has disappeared. A new poll has her just one point over sanders. Nationally things could be getting worse.

Lets talk polls. Here is what we see, 36 donald trump far and away the leader and this tight race for second or third. Is South Carolina poised to be the state that winnowathize field . Donald trump is way ahead in our poll and other poll. The real match between marco rubio and jeb bush. The former protege. The two of them before i thought maybe both make it out.

Andrea is quite right that saturdays caucuses are very important for momentum into South Carolina and into march we see a very long protracted clintb sanersclint Clinton Clinton sanders battle.

A new survey finds 25 million americans have not changed their goto card in at least ten years. 20 million have never changed thar car. Is that loyalty good or does it hurt you . Guilty as charged, so to speak. I never change my credit card. Is that a mistake . There are a lot of rewards. You are only able to capitalize on them if you change your card. Loyalty is a small portion of your credit score. You probably dont want to get rid of the card you had the longest. How many should you have . Theres no magic number but you want to have enough so that of your credit limit on any of them at any one time. So for most people that is about four. If you have a problem with credit no more than two. According to the survey 44 of people didnt want to sign up for new credit cards because they thought it would hurt credit card. Signing up and closing an old one can take the score down a little bit. If you do it like every six months and not before you apply for a mortgage or car loan you will be fine.

That one i practiced. 1. 5 back on everything you spend. 39 annual fee. 0 Interest Rate through november. This is not a card where you want to carry a balance because the Interest Rate of november is 24 . If you have a debt or balance to pay should you be looking for 0 Interest Rate cards. Rewards are not for you if you carry a balance. You will save more money just by transferring balance to 0 card. The one we like is the chase slate card and it offers 0 interest for the first 15 months. No Balance Transfer fee. Most have 3 Balance Transfer fee. You have to transfer the balance within the first two months to capitalize on that. Dont wait until you had the card for six months. You keep all those numbers and names in your head.

Coming up next, is it time to have the money talk with your parents . What you should be doing to make first this is today on nbc. As we heard all week slief spans are longer than ever. Senior personal finance correspondent. This is a tough conversation to have for any parent with a child. It is a very tough conversation because a lot of seniors are embarrassed. They dont want to admit that they may need help. You need to have this conversation because statistics show when there is fraud involved it could mean up to 30,000 out of pocket. Conversation. It starts with just having the money talk. Having the money talk is very important. Open communication is very important in terms of preventing fraud. You want to ask them solutions to help them to review their finances with them. Sometimes it is difficult to have this talk. You need a third party to step in maybe talk to a financial adviser. Some ways that is toughest. Once you have gotten going help set them up for safety. You need to know where the documents are. Where do they keep financial documents and tax returns. Know people involved in handling documents. I love online bill pay as much as that they can do for themselves. You want to get rid of junk mail. Contact direct marketing. Get rid of catalogs and things. Get on the do not call registry. Watch out for signs of trouble. There are a lot of signs of trouble. If you see piles of mail, credit notices that could be a sign that something is going on with them and also that they are being bombarded by things, changes in their will that may be a sign that memory is lapsing. Also, look for suspicious financial activity. If you see a lot of atm withdrawals you know that your mother has been actually bedridden that is not possible. Find out if that is happening. Unpaid bills and unusual purchases. You know they wouldnt buy these things. The next one is really important. Watch out for scams. The aarp bulletin did a huge bulletin about seniors being targeted. All of them say medicare is one of the top ones to watch out for. Your medicare number needs to be protected. Fault into the wrong hands. You want to make sure payments you may have to make are yours. Telemarketing another very important one. We get telemarketing calls. You want to make sure the business is legitimate before you buy anything or respond in any way. Is there a website or something in. Just go to the Better Business bureau and make sure it is a legitimate business. In terms of tech support here is one that the aarp found. If they are asking you to download a particular website that could be a virus or something for them to get access to your personal information on your computer. The biggest one is irs scam. That is a voice mail or call saying you owe back taxes, asking to pay for that. Irs never calls you. The irs only contacts through u. S. Postal service. You should know that so you can be aware of scams. When all else fails you might splmpt dw thats a big step for a lot of people to take. Offer to take over and have the conversation before you do it. You can handle a lot of things remotely and then consult with someone if you need to and see if you can hire someone to help. Great points. Thank you so much. Thanks. Look who joined our couch.

The first thing i saw when ryan walked in was this stylish jacket. Its vintage from San Francisco . So this is a good topic for you. The wall street journal has an article today. The question is should a mans shoes and belt always match . As a lady we sort of i dont wear a lot of belts but when i do i think i tend to match them to my shoes. I dont think you have to. Do whatever you want. Do what feels good. I usually do. In my civilian life i dont really care. You dont wear pants. I never wear belts. Are belts outdated . I think so. Why are you looking at my belt . Pants are very slim and really fits you. Thats the thing. Its not like you have the big shirt. You will see that a lot of red carpets and stuff you see guys with a good fitted pant and not a belt. I think we are moving towards nudity as a society. To answer the question the wall street journal people polled say 70 say you should match your shoes to belt. 30 say no. Fashion experts say as long as they are in the same family tone wise as well as same sensibility. You wouldnt wear a western belt necessarily with tennis shoes. Im on your plan. Wow. This is really spiraling out of control. Lets launch our hashtag battle. We are going deep on the topic. For yes tweet us with matchymatchy. Perfectly matched like the belt to the shoes. Sharp.
