Speaker 1: Unfortunately, Dodgers pitcher Walker Bueller has had his one hundred

Speaker 4: One of them took his watch.
Speaker 1: Bueller's starting tonight with the Dodgers played the Padres in
Speaker 1: Game three of the NLDS in San Diego. Remember how
Speaker 1: the Biden administration passed that plan to cap late fees
Speaker 1: for credit cards. Well, companies are finding new ways around it.
Speaker 1: Joel Larsgard is going to tell us about that right
Speaker 1: before the top of the hour. And at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the hour, you've heard our KFI in the sky
Speaker 1: buzzing around the skies of southern California. But who knew
Speaker 1: Will Coleschreiber could sing and dance too, And we've got
Speaker 1: tickets so you can see him sing and dance. It's
Speaker 1: all coming up on wake Up Call. Let's get started
Speaker 1: with some of the stories coming out of the KFI
Speaker 1: twenty four hour newsroom. A man has been heard in
Speaker 1: an explosion at a house in Long Beach.
Speaker 5: Surveillance video shows the top of the home as it
Speaker 5: completely blows out, sending debrief flying in every direction. Jose
Speaker 5: Savalla lives across the street and says he saw the
Speaker 5: man standing in the wreckage, waving his arm as if
Speaker 5: to say he was okay.
Speaker 6: He dives his arms and he's uh fore head mmmm burned,
Speaker 6: but not the.
Speaker 3: Just the schemes.
Speaker 5: Savala says he started smelling gas Saturday night, smelled it
Speaker 5: again Sunday night, and then the house exploded yesterday morning.
Speaker 5: Long Beach Fire says the front house has been yellow
Speaker 5: tagged and it's not clear exactly what caused the explosion.
Speaker 5: Chris Adler KFI News.
Speaker 1: News brought to you by ruterhroo dot com. The LAPD
Speaker 1: has fallen short of its recruitment goals again, even after
Speaker 1: spending thirty five thousand dollars a month on recruitment advertising.
Speaker 1: The LA Personnel Departments Aaron McGraney says, even when applicants
Speaker 1: make it to the end of the process, the department
Speaker 1: is not converting them.
Speaker 7: We're looking at record number of candidates that have made
Speaker 7: it all the way through the process. Get to the
Speaker 7: part where Captain Pattiel gives them a job offer and
Speaker 7: then they decline.
Speaker 1: McCraney, who's a former police officer, says racial justice protests
Speaker 1: and the pandemic in twenty twenty have changed the way
Speaker 1: younger professionals view police work. City Council has asked for
Speaker 1: a report on how to improve the hiring process. The
Speaker 1: War in Ukraine and truthfulness have been talked about in
Speaker 1: the CBS sixty Minutes special with Vice President Harris and
Speaker 1: running mate Tim Walls. Harris's former President Trump's comments that
Speaker 1: he would end the war in Ukraine on day one
Speaker 1: are about Ukraine surrendering.
Speaker 3: Ukraine must have a say in the future of Ukraine.
Speaker 4: When asked last night about some of his false statements,
Speaker 4: Walls said people know the difference getting a.
Speaker 3: Date wrong by a rather than a pathological liar like
Speaker 3: Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: Says he keeps his word. The Mega Millions Lottery is changing.
Speaker 1: Lotto officials say the game that's played in forty five
Speaker 1: states is going to start costing five dollars starting in April.
Speaker 1: The lottery is lead director Josh Johnston says players are
Speaker 1: going to benefit from improved odds with a built in
Speaker 1: multiplier to boost any non jackpot win with.
Speaker 8: The new game change comes obviously higher jacko jackpot that
Speaker 8: will grow faster, as well as more lower tier prizes.
Speaker 1: He says the changes will also lead to better odds
Speaker 1: and more billionaires and millionaires. So, right now, the tickets
Speaker 1: are two dollars, but starting in April, they go up
Speaker 1: to five dollars.
Speaker 4: I don't know, Nick Pouliochini, youre going to buy him?
Speaker 3: No? I haven't bottom to this point.
Speaker 4: How you I buy the Mega Millions but it's two bucks.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I'm going to do it when
Speaker 4: it's five dollars, because.
Speaker 3: That's always the thing. I know, you got to play
Speaker 3: to win. But I've never played so and I.
Speaker 4: Don't have any more money than you. So right, you're
Speaker 4: smarter than me.
Speaker 1: All Right, it's five oh eight on your Tuesday morning
Speaker 1: wake up call, and we've got a big storm to
Speaker 1: talk about.
Speaker 4: But first, Jim, are you gonna buy five dollars Mega
Speaker 4: Million's tickets for me? Yeah?
Speaker 9: Just one?
Speaker 4: Do you play the lottery sometimes?
Speaker 3: We have a little pool going to New York.
Speaker 4: Oh well, tickets are going up from two dollars a
Speaker 4: piece of five dollars.
Speaker 3: Are you serious? Yeah? Geez, no, I'm.
Speaker 4: Not Okay, there you have it.
Speaker 3: Five bucks.
Speaker 4: Okay, let's get down to serious stuff.
Speaker 1: We talked yesterday when Hurricane Milton was a category three.
Speaker 4: In a matter of hours.
Speaker 1: It blew up to a category five. It's back down
Speaker 1: to a four, but still it's gonna be a big one.
Speaker 3: It is. It's going to be really powerful in terms
Speaker 3: of a size.
Speaker 9: If you look from it from edge to edge, you know,
Speaker 9: think about the edges of a frisbee. It's not as
Speaker 9: big as Helene was, and it's moving quite quickly, so
Speaker 9: it's a compact storm, but it's very, very powerful. They
Speaker 9: went up to category five status as you point out
Speaker 9: there Amy, with winds of around a high eighty miles
Speaker 9: per hour. Part of the eye wall began to collapse
Speaker 9: last night. It's down to one hundred and forty five
Speaker 9: miles per hon, which is still a category four status.
Speaker 9: But these categories are sort of misleading. If you're right
Speaker 9: at the point of landfall and catching one hundred forty
Speaker 9: one hundred and forty five mile in our wind, that's
Speaker 9: going to be devastating.
Speaker 3: So evacuations.
Speaker 9: I was just listening to the governor Ron Desanta's talking
Speaker 9: about the evacuations that are in place, and people are
Speaker 9: heating those orders and getting out, getting off the coastline,
Speaker 9: heading north out of the peninsula, or heading to one
Speaker 9: of the shelters being operated by counties and by the
Speaker 9: state all over this area. So people are heating the warnings.
Speaker 9: This could be the worst storm to hit this particular
Speaker 9: region since nineteen twenty one.
Speaker 4: Hey, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: When they put people or ask people to go to shelters,
Speaker 1: are they talking like stadiums and gyms and arenas or
Speaker 1: where do you put all those people if they can't
Speaker 1: leave the area.
Speaker 9: Well, there are some church basements that will offer themselves
Speaker 9: up as potential shelter. Is there whatever building is fortified
Speaker 9: and can stand withstand how powerful win. The governor was
Speaker 9: just saying that there are big warehouse structures designed to
Speaker 9: withstand hurricane category five, the hurricanes, they'll hold ten thousand
Speaker 9: people some of them. Well, so there are facilities to
Speaker 9: make people safe. The good thing about this storm is
Speaker 9: that since it is moving fairly quickly, it's going on
Speaker 9: along what is now twelve miles per hour. That's quick
Speaker 9: for a storm like this. So once it blasts the
Speaker 9: shore here on the Gulf Coast, it's going to start
Speaker 9: to weaken. It's going to head straight across the peninsula,
Speaker 9: probably come out on the other side somewhere or around Orlando,
Speaker 9: but even Orlando will be having tropical storm force maybe
Speaker 9: even hurricane force wins from this. And the big issue
Speaker 9: is that it comes so soon after Hurricane Helene, less
Speaker 9: than two weeks ago. And even though we've focused so
Speaker 9: heavily on western North Carolina and the devastation.
Speaker 3: To that part of the world.
Speaker 9: This storm Helena is it was coming up the Gulf
Speaker 9: coast to Florida, was causing storm surge damage here and
Speaker 9: people have been cleaning up their damaged properties in the
Speaker 9: last two weeks from that, you know, pulling up a
Speaker 9: coal carpet, soaked carpet, rolling it up, putting it out
Speaker 9: on the sidewalk for to be picked up. You know, furniture, appliances,
Speaker 9: all that stuff is still sitting there. It hasn't been
Speaker 9: picked up yet. So once Milton comes in with its
Speaker 9: one hundred thirty hundred and fifty mile an hour winds,
Speaker 9: all that stuff becomes projectiles. So the governor has demanded
Speaker 9: that the landfills stay open twenty four to seven, that
Speaker 9: the pickup of all that debris, you know, intensifies so
Speaker 9: that the streets are clear, the sidewalks are clear, and
Speaker 9: the potential debris is gone. The projectiles aren't there.
Speaker 1: Okay, and you're in Tampa. I know we've got to
Speaker 1: let you go because you're a busy man this morning.
Speaker 1: But is the weather has it turned yet or are
Speaker 1: you still waiting because it's still like four or five
Speaker 1: hundred miles off shore.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know, it's it's cloudy here, but kind of
Speaker 9: pleasant outside. Nice and you know, in advance of this,
Speaker 9: so we'll start seeing some rain later today, but the
Speaker 9: landfall is expected sometime Wednesday night or early Thursday morning.
Speaker 1: Okay, the column before the storm, Jim Ryan, thank you
Speaker 1: so much. We'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 3: Ran.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Former
Speaker 1: La City councilman Jose Weezar has started serving his thirteen
Speaker 1: year prison sentence for taking bribes from developers and cheating
Speaker 1: on his taxes. Weez Are surrounded to the US Bureau
Speaker 1: of Prisons yesterday and is in a low security prison
Speaker 1: in Santa Barbara County. Weezare was also ordered to pay
Speaker 1: more than four hundred thousand dollars in restitution to the
Speaker 1: City of La and almost forty thousand to the IRS.

Speaker 1: on Thursday. The event is set to take place at
Speaker 1: Warner Brothers Discoveries Movie Studios in Burbank at six oh five.
Speaker 1: Is handle on the news. Well, we're living about as
Speaker 1: long as we're going to say the experts. We'll talk
Speaker 1: more about that right now. Let's say good morning to
Speaker 1: ABC's Karen Travers. So, Karen, the White House is fired
Speaker 1: back against former President Trump and others claims that FEMA
Speaker 1: money is being spent on illegal immigrants instead of Hurricane Heleen.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 13: I mean, this has been a multi day thing where
Speaker 13: the administration, through tweets from the FEMA account, the FEMA
Speaker 13: administrative has been out there doing interviews pushing back very
Speaker 13: strongly about what they say is disinformation, misinformation, just flat
Speaker 13: out falsehoods about what the federal government has available right
Speaker 13: now for people who need immediate resources, and how the
Speaker 13: Department of Homeland Security can spend money. And you know,
Speaker 13: this is all in response to what has been in
Speaker 13: a large part, you know, the former President Donald Trump
Speaker 13: putting out there that people can only get seven hundred
Speaker 13: and fifty dollars now if they've been impacted by Hurricane Helene,
Speaker 13: and that the federal government is spending FEMA relief money
Speaker 13: on migrants instead of storm survivors. So two things, you know,
Speaker 13: One that seven hundred and fifty dollars is just immediate,
Speaker 13: go get this right now.
Speaker 12: You're entitled to this to help you get up on
Speaker 12: your feet in the immediate days hours after the storm hit.
Speaker 13: And also that there are two different buckets of funding
Speaker 13: through the Homeland Security Department, and that it's not being
Speaker 13: spent right now on a migrant response we saw the homelands.
Speaker 13: Excuse me, the FEMA administrator, yes, very strongly pushing back
Speaker 13: on this, and also Vice President Harris saying that what
Speaker 13: Donald Trump and others are saying is extraordinarily irresponsible and
Speaker 13: that people need to know what resources are available to
Speaker 13: them and it's important that they apply for that assistance.
Speaker 1: Okay, but to drill into it, just a schmidge because
Speaker 1: I watched Diana chris Well talking about it. There is
Speaker 1: beeam of money that goes to illegal immigrants, but it
Speaker 1: comes from a different pot, a disaster relief, so.
Speaker 13: Under the Department of Homeland Security. So when Congress allocates
Speaker 13: funding for the year, there's funding that goes to each agency.
Speaker 13: Homeland Security gets their money, and then there is money
Speaker 13: that goes to FEMA, and money from there goes to
Speaker 13: emergency response for migrant relief and what they're doing in
Speaker 13: some cities.
Speaker 12: There is another.
Speaker 13: Bucket of money that is specifically.
Speaker 12: For natural disaster relief.
Speaker 13: They're not taking away money from that right now in
Speaker 13: order to handle and support migrant response.
Speaker 4: Okay.
Speaker 1: So just yeah, because I heard Deana chris Well and
Speaker 1: I was like, well, she did say that FEMA money
Speaker 1: does go to them.
Speaker 4: But I get it.
Speaker 1: There's different buckets, and so that's what needs to be clarified.
Speaker 1: And then moving on as we look at Hurricane Milton,
Speaker 1: which is powering toward.
Speaker 4: Florida.
Speaker 1: There there's I hate how this is all getting politicized.
Speaker 1: But Creint Jean Pierre wouldn't confirm that President Biden or
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris had talked to Governor Ron DeSantis. And
Speaker 1: are they not reaching out as Desanti's not taking the
Speaker 1: calls because they're both saying different things.
Speaker 12: Yeah. No, the White House definitely reached out.
Speaker 13: They reached out last week and the President was of
Speaker 13: course in Florida late last week to survey damage, and
Speaker 13: they invited Dissenttis to join the President down there, and
Speaker 13: then he.
Speaker 12: Did not accept that invitation.
Speaker 13: The White House made very clear yesterday that they had
Speaker 13: reached out, and as Korean put it, it's up to
Speaker 13: the governor to connect at that point with the white House.
Speaker 13: They did talk last night. The President spoke with Florida
Speaker 13: Governor Drun DeSantis last night as well as the mayor
Speaker 13: of Tampa. They talked about the recovery efforts from Helene
Speaker 13: and what the preparations are from Milton. The Vice President
Speaker 13: also reached out to DeSantis, and his office put out
Speaker 13: yesterday you know, sources close to his office were saying
Speaker 13: that he would not take that call because he thought
Speaker 13: it was political. She responded, you know, criticizing that, and
Speaker 13: then he later went on Fox News multiple times saying
Speaker 13: that she has no role in this, she has not
Speaker 13: contributed anything to this, and basically said she is playing
Speaker 13: political games.
Speaker 12: I think the White House will be feisty on this today.
Speaker 12: We've asked the question.
Speaker 13: But you know, they have a Category four or five
Speaker 13: storm heading their way and the White House reaching out
Speaker 13: to offer support, would you know, I think they'd be
Speaker 13: expected that the phone call would be answered.
Speaker 12: On the other end.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And then how's the White House responding to
Speaker 1: Majorcis's comment that FEMA was running out of money.
Speaker 12: I mean, they need more funding.
Speaker 13: You know, Congress only funded the government for a short time.
Speaker 13: Remember September thirtieth, they got to having set down threat. Yeah,
Speaker 13: the Continuing Resolution, Like it's not a full year of funding.
Speaker 13: So they do want Congress to come back and address
Speaker 13: this bigger issue because they don't have the large number
Speaker 13: that they're going to need for rebuilding recovery. But also
Speaker 13: concerned about they have two major back to back disasters
Speaker 13: within one week and they're worried about resources right now.
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's interesting too, and just an observation
Speaker 1: they had predicted and they've been talking about how this
Speaker 1: was supposed to be like one of the most active
Speaker 1: hurricane seasons that we've seen in years and years. I
Speaker 1: don't know that I'm surprised, but maybe a little surprised
Speaker 1: that Congress didn't take it up earlier and go, hey,
Speaker 1: let's set this money aside because it looks like it's
Speaker 1: going to be a bad season. Yeah, maybe that's asking
Speaker 1: too much to have them plan for the future, right probably, Okay,
Speaker 1: that's my thought. Not Karen Drivers. Karen, thank you so
Speaker 1: much for the information. We appreciate it. Hundreds of pro
Speaker 1: Palestinian protest have marched around USC to mark one year
Speaker 1: since Hamas attacked Israel on October seventh.
Speaker 6: The group chanted wave signs and blocked an intersection at
Speaker 6: one point. This protester says liaisons were on scene to
Speaker 6: speak with law enforcement.
Speaker 4: Everything went really smoothly.
Speaker 5: We had very limited interaction with police, limited interaction with
Speaker 5: campus police.
Speaker 6: The protests yesterday lasted for about two hours. The group
Speaker 6: says it was demonstrating against a year of ongoing genocide
Speaker 6: at USC Blake Trolley kf I News.
Speaker 1: George's Supreme Court has reinstated the state's six week abortion ban.
Speaker 1: The ruling yesterday overturned a lower court ruling that struck
Speaker 1: the ban down. The six week ban will now remain
Speaker 1: in effect while the Georgia Supreme Court considers the state's
Speaker 1: appeal of last week's decision. George's abortion ban law took
Speaker 1: effect in twenty twenty two. Well Swifties can breathe a
Speaker 1: sigh of relief. Taylor swift As Return has returned to
Speaker 1: Aerostadium to watch your boyfriend Travis Kelcey and his Chiefs

Speaker 1: All right, let's get back to some of the stories
Speaker 1: coming out of the KFI twenty four hour newsroom. Hurricane
Speaker 1: Helene cleanup has been put on hold as people in
Speaker 1: Florida get ready for Hurricane Milton. ABC's Victor Akendo says
Speaker 1: downed trees and debris are all over the roads of
Speaker 1: Treasure Island near Tampa.
Speaker 3: The way one neighbor described some of this stuff could
Speaker 3: get picked up and act as a battering ram.
Speaker 6: It could act as projectiles, no doubt, very dangerous in
Speaker 6: those crews, They've got their work cut.
Speaker 3: Out for them.
Speaker 1: The National Hurricane Center says that Milton is a Category
Speaker 1: four storm wins about one hundred and fifty five miles

Speaker 1: storm surge and widespread flooding from heavy rain are predicted.
Speaker 1: Vice President Harris is called former President Trump incredibly irresponsible
Speaker 1: for his criticism of the federal response to Hurricane Helen.
Speaker 1: Trump has accused the federal government of intentionally withholding aid
Speaker 1: to Republican disaster victims. He also claims FEMA has run
Speaker 1: out of money because it went to programs for illegal
Speaker 1: immigrants in the US. FEMA has a separate funding pool
Speaker 1: for disaster relief, which Homeland Security has said does not
Speaker 1: have enough money to make it through hurricane season. Hundreds
Speaker 1: of pro Palestinian protesters and marched around USC's campus to
Speaker 1: mark the one year anniversary of the October seventh attack
Speaker 1: on Israel. Group members say they wanted to demonstrate against
Speaker 1: one year of ongoing genocide in Gaza. People waived signs,
Speaker 1: chanted and blocked in intersection at one point. The acting
Speaker 1: leader of Hesbela says even more Israelis will be displaced
Speaker 1: as the terrorist group extends its rocket fire deeper into Israel.
Speaker 1: Shaik nine Cassam says Hebela's capabilities are still intact despite
Speaker 1: weeks of heavy Israeli air strikes and the killings of
Speaker 1: Hezbollah commanders. A retired airline pilot has been cleared of
Speaker 1: DUI charges in San Bernardino County based on a misread decimal.
Speaker 14: A breathalyzer reading of point zero one three is almost
Speaker 14: seven times less than the point zero eight legal limit.
Speaker 14: Point one to three is almost double, and that meant
Speaker 14: a night in jail for Air Force veteran Mark Winners.
Speaker 14: Lawyer Daniel Mossat says buddycam video showed the point zero
Speaker 14: one three that night. In twenty twenty two, the Redlands
Speaker 14: police officer writes point zero one three in the report,
Speaker 14: which is approved by his sergeant.
Speaker 6: The DA receives this report with the correct number on it,
Speaker 6: and they still press charges.
Speaker 3: Nobody read the report.
Speaker 14: The San Bernardino County DA last week declared Winters factually innocent.
Speaker 14: Redlands paid the guy a one hundred fifty thousand dollars settlement.
Speaker 14: Corbin Carson k if I.

Speaker 1: Padres organizations only selling tickets to customers who can verify
Speaker 1: they live in San Diego County. The same effort to
Speaker 1: preserve home field advantage was employed in the twenty twenty
Speaker 1: two National League Division Series when the Padres beat the
Speaker 1: Dodgers three games to one. Well, Game three is tonight
Speaker 1: in San Diego. It's the National League Division Series, and
Speaker 1: since you probably can't get a ticket, why not just
Speaker 1: listen to it. First pitch goes out at six o'clock

Speaker 1: Trump is headed to Coachella Saturday for a rare rally
Speaker 1: in California. It's expected to, of course, overwhelmingly Democrat in
Speaker 1: California for the presidential election four weeks from today. Trump
Speaker 1: has been to California for fundraising events several times, but
Speaker 1: usually doesn't do rallies. Your chance to become a lotto
Speaker 1: millionaire is getting more expensive. Mega Millions has announced the
Speaker 1: cost of a lottery ticket is going to go it
Speaker 1: from two dollars to five dollars starting in April. Officials
Speaker 1: say players won't mind because the increase will lead to
Speaker 1: bigger prizes and more frequent winners. I think that's a
Speaker 1: good place to start with our very own how to
Speaker 1: money guy, Joel Larsgard, Should we buy lots of lottery tickets?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 15: I mean, yeah, that's the quickest way to building tons
Speaker 15: of wealth. Why not just win it in one fell swoop?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 4: Although I have to tell you my brother and I
Speaker 4: were talking.
Speaker 1: We're just talking about, you know, the high cost of
Speaker 1: living here in California and the high cost of housing
Speaker 1: and how you know, how you have to earn like
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty thousand dollars to make enough money
Speaker 1: to afford any kind of a mortgage in California.
Speaker 3: Huh.
Speaker 1: And Steve said, you know, at this point, I'm thinking
Speaker 1: lottery might be part of my retirement plans.
Speaker 15: I know, it's good you're getting it something though, Amy
Speaker 15: that this is like a for real thing. I think
Speaker 15: people feel this existential angst and they're like, well, the
Speaker 15: slow path to wealth, that's just not going to work
Speaker 15: for me because I'm not going to get where I
Speaker 15: want to go in enough time. And so I think
Speaker 15: people do either kind of write it off all together,
Speaker 15: or they try to go for what's the quick hit,
Speaker 15: which is something like the lottery. And the average person
Speaker 15: who plays the lottery, I want to say, they spend
Speaker 15: something like twenty dollars a week on lottery tickets and
Speaker 15: eighty dollars a month. If you were to invest that
Speaker 15: and compound it, it sounds ridiculous me saying it, but
Speaker 15: it really will lead to a reasonable chunk of money
Speaker 15: in retirement. So I think people are often in this
Speaker 15: sort of nihilistic mindset and that's what's leading to maybe
Speaker 15: overplaying something like the lottery, not realizing that the slow play,
Speaker 15: over time, it actually is going to amount to something meaningful.
Speaker 1: Wow, Okay, I didn't think of as because I always
Speaker 1: think of it as like a Starbucks, I buy like
Speaker 1: one or two tickets.
Speaker 3: Well, that's another thing.
Speaker 15: I don't want to be the guy because they're are
Speaker 15: these people in the personal finance space who like condemn
Speaker 15: you forgetting an avogado toast or a latte or something
Speaker 15: like that, and there is it's kind of ridiculous and
Speaker 15: it's overblown. It's not like most people are getting three
Speaker 15: lattes a day from Starbucks. But I went to I
Speaker 15: took my girls to Starbucks recently, and I was like, wait,
Speaker 15: that was kind of expensive. And when you do actually
Speaker 15: run the numbers and think about, Okay, what if this
Speaker 15: little drip thing in my budget that's happening consistently, what
Speaker 15: if I were to eliminate it and invest in said,
Speaker 15: And I don't mean to take everything good and decent
Speaker 15: and lovely out of.
Speaker 3: Your life in order to build wealth, but like.
Speaker 15: If this has become a habit, something you do every day,
Speaker 15: maybe it doesn't feel as special anymore. And so maybe
Speaker 15: you can cut back from doing that thing five or
Speaker 15: six times a week to one time a week. Invest
Speaker 15: the rest of that money, and you're like, it is amazing.
Speaker 15: Like those those dollars and cents add up. It seems
Speaker 15: people laugh it off, but it's true. The little purchases
Speaker 15: of the little things we do, they do matter.
Speaker 1: Okay, speaking of dollars and cents adding up, we have
Speaker 1: talked in the past about how the credit card companies
Speaker 1: were going to be limited in how much they could
Speaker 1: charge for late fees, and they were going to reduce
Speaker 1: the fees to like eight dollars or something like that
Speaker 1: or was it. Yeah, but and we thought, isn't this
Speaker 1: a cool thing? But the credit card companies are finding
Speaker 1: ways around it.
Speaker 3: Of course, that is what they do.
Speaker 15: They are crafty, they are smart, they are profit driven entities,
Speaker 15: and so yeah, the Consumer Financial Production Bureau essentially issued
Speaker 15: this rule saying, listen, we want to cap late fees
Speaker 15: at eight dollars. So if you are late paying your bill,
Speaker 15: I think the average late fee was somewhere in the
Speaker 15: forty dollars range, and they said, that's egregious.
Speaker 3: The credit card companies are.
Speaker 15: Taking advantage of people who are paying late, paying their
Speaker 15: bills late, and so instead of the forty dollars, which
Speaker 15: is which is going to add up for somebody who's
Speaker 15: consistently late, we want to cap that at eight bucks.
Speaker 15: And when we talked at the time, I told you, hey,
Speaker 15: I get the reasoning behind this, and yeah, it's obviously
Speaker 15: terrible if someone's cause stillly late paying their bill that
Speaker 15: they're racking up late fees of that to that extent.
Speaker 15: But the credit card the credit card companies are going
Speaker 15: to find find some way to crawl to claw back
Speaker 15: this income, and they're they're doing that. There was this
Speaker 15: article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday talking about highlighting
Speaker 15: some of the ways that the big credit card issue
Speaker 15: issuers are planning ahead. Even though this this CFPB attempt
Speaker 15: to reduce late fees is essentially stuck in legal limbo.
Speaker 15: It's in the court system right now. We don't know
Speaker 15: what's going to pan out. They are starting to issue
Speaker 15: new fees, different fees, so fees if you get paper
Speaker 15: statements for instance, So definitely if that if your credit
Speaker 15: card company is charging you for that, opt for digital
Speaker 15: statements and save them as a PDF if you feel
Speaker 15: like you need to have them for your records. Others,
Speaker 15: other credit card companies are even raising interest rates. And
Speaker 15: you might say, well, the Fed just lowered interest rates,
Speaker 15: it would make sense that the credit card companies are
Speaker 15: going to lower interest rates too and give us all
Speaker 15: a little bit of a break. Alas, that's not what's happening,
Speaker 15: because they're trying to compensate for this other loss and income.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we knew that this was going to happen,
Speaker 1: but we did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we did know.
Speaker 15: And it's one of those things where I am actually
Speaker 15: I'm a fan. I say this all the time. I'm
Speaker 15: a fan of credit cards. I think they're one of
Speaker 15: the best ways to pay their extra protections for you legally.
Speaker 15: If you pay with a credit card, it also means
Speaker 15: that you if something happens with a purchase and you
Speaker 15: have to challenge that purchase like you've had to do Amy,
Speaker 15: which we've talked about, you you're not out the money yet,
Speaker 15: you're not trying to claw money back that left your
Speaker 15: account already.
Speaker 3: And so I think credit cards is plus.
Speaker 15: When you talk about the rewards that credit cards offer,
Speaker 15: they can be significant, and so you have to at
Speaker 15: least think about credit cards. But they're a tool, and
Speaker 15: they can be used well and they can.
Speaker 3: Be used poorly.
Speaker 15: And so when you think about these fees and these
Speaker 15: other ways that credit card companies are trying to get you,
Speaker 15: you have to play the game well, you have to
Speaker 15: outsmart the fox essentially.
Speaker 4: And how am I going to play the game well, So.
Speaker 15: That just means I call it the Golden rules of
Speaker 15: plastic and that means not spending money that you don't
Speaker 15: have because you're using plastic instead. And I think people
Speaker 15: have learned that over time. But the truth is only
Speaker 15: fifty percent of Americans pay their bill on time and
Speaker 15: in full. And when it comes down to it, the
Speaker 15: crux of the matter is that pay your credit card
Speaker 15: balance on.
Speaker 3: Time and in full, no matter what.
Speaker 15: If you don't have the money to pay for it,
Speaker 15: don't buy the thing, even if you can put it
Speaker 15: on credit.
Speaker 3: And so a big chunk of people say, actually, a.
Speaker 15: Large, large reason why I'm in credit card debt is
Speaker 15: because of non essential things. You might think it's people
Speaker 15: trying to buy groceries, but for the most, for the
Speaker 15: vast majority people who are in credit card debt, it's
Speaker 15: a vacation. It is putting extra things that you wanted,
Speaker 15: not necessities, on the credit card. You've got to limit
Speaker 15: those things if you're going to use credit cards, because
Speaker 15: it's not worth the interesting fees that come along with
Speaker 15: it if you don't pay it off on time.
Speaker 1: Okay, now let's look move over real quick before we
Speaker 1: run out of time to because we want to talk
Speaker 1: about changing jobs. A lot of people are thinking at
Speaker 1: any given time, you know what I'm done with this
Speaker 1: I want a new job, but it might not be
Speaker 1: such a great idea.
Speaker 3: So it's interesting. There's like flip sides to this coin.
Speaker 15: There's been data in the past, and especially kind of
Speaker 15: post COVID where jumping ship and changing jobs and it
Speaker 15: netted people significant pay increases. Right especially in that incredibly
Speaker 15: tight labor market, people were saying, I think I'm gonna
Speaker 15: go check out this other company or maybe even change careers,
Speaker 15: and because there was such a dearth of workers, people
Speaker 15: were getting seeing significant pay increases. But there's this new
Speaker 15: study from Vanguard that finds that when people switch jobs,
Speaker 15: even if they do get a bigger paycheck, they often
Speaker 15: end up saving less for retirement. They're putting less away
Speaker 15: in their four one K. So let's say they've been
Speaker 15: at it's I think it's this sort of inertia bias thing,
Speaker 15: and so, hey, I'm in this job and get over time.
Speaker 15: I've I've started to save twelve fourteen percent of my
Speaker 15: pay into.
Speaker 3: My four one K.
Speaker 15: I got this new job and maybe they launched me
Speaker 15: at three percent. I'm not going to change it. Yeah,
Speaker 15: I was saving more before, but now you know, I'm
Speaker 15: just going to go with what they signed me up
Speaker 15: at and so this can be ultimately like a six
Speaker 15: figure mistake, costing you hundreds of thousands of dollars down
Speaker 15: on the line by going from fourteen down to three.
Speaker 15: If you just if you haven't put the thought into it.
Speaker 15: When you trist jobs and you're making more money, that's great,
Speaker 15: but make sure your four O one K contributions are
Speaker 15: at least the same as you were doing at your
Speaker 15: former employer. Hopefully, especially if you're snagging more money, hopefully
Speaker 15: you're able to raise it by a percentage point or
Speaker 15: two as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, so pay attention because they start yeutlow, but you
Speaker 1: can go and adjust that on your own.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 15: It's one of those things. It's inertia bias. I mean,
Speaker 15: that's a complete human tendency. Is to say, you sign
Speaker 15: me up at three, I'll leave it there. That must
Speaker 15: be good enough. But yeah, if you were contributing more before,
Speaker 15: you want to stay at that same rate in order
Speaker 15: to kind of continue to keep that savings rate up
Speaker 15: and continue to build wealth for your future.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, absolutely.
Speaker 1: And the other thing to remember that, like I know
Speaker 1: that I was playing with the numbers, like how much
Speaker 1: can I afford to put away and I made an adjustment,
Speaker 1: and I was like, it barely even shows on your
Speaker 1: paycheck because it's all pre tax money.
Speaker 15: Yeah, that's the thing is if you do every time
Speaker 15: you get a raise, if you bank half of that, right, So, oh,
Speaker 15: I got a five percent or six percent raise, I'm
Speaker 15: gonna put I'm gonna up my four one K contribution
Speaker 15: by three percent. You're not gonna feel it at all.
Speaker 15: In fact, you're still going to feel like you got
Speaker 15: a little bit of a raise. You're going to see
Speaker 15: a little more of that take home pay. But the
Speaker 15: cool thing is you're you're ramping up your retirement saving contribution.
Speaker 15: So if you do that consistently over time, it feels
Speaker 15: like barely a pinch. But ultimately, at the end of
Speaker 15: the day or at the end of decades, I should say,
Speaker 15: you're gonna have a lot more money to show for it.
Speaker 4: All Right.
Speaker 1: For more great advice on how to best take care
Speaker 1: of your money and hopefully earn more money and save
Speaker 1: more money, you can listen to the host of how
Speaker 1: to Money on KFI Sundays from noon to two. It's
