Youre telling me heelies and pez dont work except when youre at school . Elementary school. Exactly. Hey. Then the other guy gets involved. Kind of screwed that one up back there. Its a vlog. He keeps laughing at his own joke. I would have started laughing hysterically. I think honestly theyre just scared to engage him. Hello, cutie. Grimacing as he walks away. If youre wondering how not to pick up women on the street, this is the video to watch. Can i show you a cool little number . Okay. That was by far one of the best episodes of 2018. Easy. History. Reporter and business is set to boom. Whats expected to be a 7 billion industry in the state. And dispensaries are bracing for the rush. Were getting ready. We have five new registers, six new bud tenders. Reporter these stores offer can base coffee, cookies, candy, even dog treats. But easy access makes the california Highway Patrol uneasy. You can look at the states that have legalized it and theyve seen an uptick in collisions. Its a concern for us. Reporter with legality come taxes.

Its been the number 1 doctor recommended brand for 10. Straight years, and its still recommended today. Use as directed. Welcome back. It is time to make some new years financial resolutions. And here to show us how to cut our debt and save more is our expert, vera gibbons, and i hate to see her putting me to the test. Good morning. Lets go through some popular goals. Resolution number one is to pay off credit card debt. Mmhm. And im going to quiz you and find out if you know anything about personal finance. How much debt do you think the average household currently has, over 25,000, over 15,000 or over 5,000 . Id say definitely over 15,000. Ding, ding, ding, you got it. Over 15,000. That is the current amount. Its approaching 16,000. 15,654 right now. About 50 of households roll that debt over month to month. Theyre paying about 9 hu 900 i interest. Paying this off should be a top priority. Because in 2018 were going to get more Interest Rate hikes. What are the solutions for paying it off . You know that we have 50,000 in debt. Theres no one size fits all strategy. Some people like to chip away at the card that has the most, others like to nalt oil the onet has the least debt because it makes them feel good. You just have to have a strategy. Save more. Your options. 600. Not quite 1 , about 3 or just over 5 . Ill say not quite 1 . Just a little over that. But thats not good. 5 , 4 , 3 over the last couple years. Personal finance experts say you need to stash away 10 to 15 . Were not doing that. You want to make a resolution to try to save more in 2018. How do you save more . You spend less, i guess. That is one strategy. Build an emergency fund. That is definitely one of the k key things. This is an important resolution. People get into predicaments where they cant afford unexpected job loss or car repairs. How Many Americans have no Emergency Savings whatsoever, 11 million, 32 million or 57 million. Im going to go with the top. 57 million. 57 million americans. This is not a good number. What does happen if you have an unexpected job loss or medical bill, you end up putting it on the credit card, charging up a storm, not good. You want at least six months safety net to go. The easiest way to do that is have it set up for a certain a money from your paycheck into your savings. Six months of your salary. Maybe more than that depending on your situation, but thats the general ballpark. That is frightening to know. Resolution number four is boost your credit. This is an important resolution. If you have bad credit, it makes it difficult to buy or rent a home, land a job or purchase a car or get a cell phone or all of the above. The answer is all of the above. Heres the thing. Bad credit makes it difficult to do all these things. So you really want to make it priority to actually boost your credit score. You should, first, if you dont know what it is, you should find out what your score is by going to annual credit report. Com and you want to pay your bills on time, having a responsible mix of credit, not having too much, things like that. Not having 15,000 as debt. Ooh, yeah. And with the calendar turn being, you get one year closer to retirement. For me, its to recommit to retirement. Retirements a lot different today than your fathers and grandfathers. People arent sitting on the ba back porch drinking lemonade. What is the percentage of americans who plan to work in retirement. I would go 30 . And were not talking walmart greeter here. Some of them are doing parttime gigs like that. Weve got a growing percentage of preretirees becoming you know are drivers, airbnb, anything they can to bring in a little extra cash. Its, its social. They like the flexibility and they do like having a little extra money. Over 30 . Mmhm. Working after retirement. Surely we will be having these conversations next year at this time. How do we keep them . Smart. Smart. Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, terrific. Now you know why my resolutions are all gone by 2015. Good advice there.
