Ohio native Lauren Scott, 29, had lived in Los Angeles for 10 years working as a freelancer in the film industry, when she decided she was ready to buy a house. At the time, Scott lived in a studio apartment and paid $1,175 in rent. Scott started her search in 2019 and wanted to stay under $400,000.

Getting vaccinated causes a physiological effect that boosts the function of the immune system. Supplementing with nutrients doesn't have the same effect, he says.

Stocks are wobbling. Inflation is expected to tick higher again, if maybe only in the short-term, if President Trump follows through on expansive tariffs threats against trading partners around the world. The messaging from Trump and his top economic advisors is that he plans to do just that on April 2, and any short-term market correction or economic "detox" is a price worth paying to reset the U.S. economy. Trump has renewed his pressure on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates to help ease the pain of tariffs as more Americans become worried again about their financial situation. There's at least one more way for the administration to placate the public. As Elon Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues its effort to gut the government, the idea has been floated that savings could end up in checks mailed to taxpayers. That idea has come and gone in the headlines, but it is one that Trump has expressed support for in the recent past. "I love it.

Maddy Brannon never set out to become the queen of Washington, D.C.-area estate sales. In 2020, the stand-up comedian and her husband had just bought a new home that was feeling conspicuously empty. "I was looking at other people's Instagrams and being like, 'How can they afford furniture?' We were just trying to buy stuff," Brannon, 33, tells CNBC Make It. "And I came across a video about an estate sale, and then I was immediately obsessed."

Being indecisive is one of the most frustrating, unproductive behaviors you can engage in. It breeds doubt, uncertainty, and even resentment from people counting on you to make a call so they can move forward. When you let multiple options linger, it can sap everyone's energy and make them question your ability to get things done.
