Approximately 10,000 pages of records related to the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy (D-N.Y.) have been made public, unearthing the assassin&#8217;s notes and reigniting discussion of the event.
What Happened: The declassified documents include&nbsp;a handwritten note by the&nbsp;convicted assassin, Sirhan Sirhan, expressing that Kennedy &#8220;must be disposed of.&#8221; This revelation is part of a larger disclosure of national secrets mandated by President&nbsp;Donald Trump.
The released files showcase images of Sirhan&#8217;s notes, one of which calls for &#8220;the overthrow of the current president&#8221; of that time, Lyndon Johnson. The documents also bring to light interviews with tourists who had heard whispers about Kennedy&#8217;s assassination weeks before it actually occurred, reports <a href="https://fortune.com/article/rfk-robert-kennedy-assasination-files-fbi-documents-archives-trump/">the </a>Fortune. 
The&nbsp;National Archives and Records Administration&nbsp;has made these files available on its public website. This follows the disclosure of unredacted files pertaining&nbsp;to the 1963 assassination of&nbsp;President John F. Kennedy, which took place last month.

Trump, who is known for his doubts regarding government intelligence agencies, has been a strong advocate for transparency through the release of such documents. The actions of his administration have opened the door for increased public scrutiny of institutions like&nbsp;the CIA and the FBI.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., applauded&nbsp;Trump and Tulsi Gabbard, the&nbsp;director of national intelligence, for&nbsp;their efforts in releasing these files, stating that it is a crucial step towards rebuilding trust in the American government.
Why It Matters: The release of these documents is significant as it provides new insights into a historical event that has been shrouded in mystery. It not only brings to light the mindset of the assassin but also reveals the existence of rumors about the assassination before it happened. 
This transparency is a step towards restoring public faith in government institutions, a sentiment echoed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Furthermore, it sets a precedent for future disclosures of national secrets, promoting transparency and accountability within the government.

Donald Trump Just Unveiled 10,000 Pages on RFK Assassination — Here's What They Show

Stock market expert Jon Erlichman recently shared a review of stock returns during the last six U.S. recessions, highlighting those that have performed well in difficult times.
In a video <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Lm9FH-c70">post</a> and also on X, Erlichman shared his analysis of stock returns during the past six recessions in the U.S.
&#8220;The Great Recession, which was longer from 2007 to 2009. We added in the dot-com recession, the recession in the early 90s, and the recessions in the early 80s. So you look at that, you start to get a better sample size,&#8221; he said. 
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">We reviewed stock returns in the past 6 U.S. recessions. Here's a list of stocks that have navigated well during tough times. <a href="https://t.co/vPPsxp9UUE">https://t.co/vPPsxp9UUE</a>

In alphabetical order, he mentioned about stock number one, AutoZone (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZO#NYSE">AZO</a>). He said that AutoZone is a great example of a stock that has done well during past recessions. Stock number two was Clorox (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLX#NYSE">CLX</a>). He said that Clorox is a great example of a stock that did well during the last recession.

&#8220;And if you go back through all these six recessions, this is the stock that really stands out as a recession-proof stock. Now, of course, we&#8217;ve got the tariff uncertainty right now. That&#8217;s not great for retailers, but Walmart executives have already come out,&#8221; he said in the post. 
The analysis shared by Erlichman is particularly relevant in the current economic climate. With ongoing market volatility and uncertainty, investors are constantly on the lookout for stocks that can weather economic downturns. 
Erlichman&#8217;s review offers a historical perspective on stocks that have demonstrated resilience in the face of recessions, potentially guiding investors towards more stable investment options during turbulent times.

Stocks That Weathered Past Recessions: Expert Shares Picks That Withstood Every Downturn

The International Monetary Fund, or IMF, has expressed concern over escalating trade tensions sparked by new U.S. tariffs but emphasized that a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44884282/analyst-predicts-recession-is-coming-despite-financial-crisis-put-on-hold-warns-rich-kids-insulated-from-their-own-actions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">global recession is not on the horizon</a>.
The organization acknowledged a sharp rise in economic uncertainty, particularly in relation to trade policy, yet maintained a cautiously optimistic outlook for global growth, BBC reports.
While financial markets have faltered and geopolitical trust has deteriorated, the IMF stated that its revised projections reflect a slowdown—but not a full-blown recession.
Global equity markets have taken a hit since U.S. President Donald Trump introduced sweeping tariffs on April 2, an event dubbed &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; by the White House.

Major indexes remain down, with investor sentiment shaken by fears of retaliatory trade measures and sluggish global investment.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has predicted a contraction in international trade volumes this year, directly linking the outlook to Washington&#8217;s tariff strategy, BBC adds.
Kristalina Georgieva, managing director of the IMF, urged nations to use the moment as an opportunity for structural reform.
BBC quotes Georgieva saying, &#8220;A better balanced, more resilient world economy is within reach.&#8221;
&#8220;We must act to secure it,&#8221; she said.
Georgieva called on the U.S. to address its fiscal deficit, encouraged China to bolster social safety nets, and pressed Europe to eliminate internal trade barriers in services and deepen its economic integration.
Despite lingering fears of a downturn, the IMF&#8217;s current stance offers reassurance that the global economy can weather the turbulence—provided governments act decisively.
The organization emphasized collective responsibility and policy coordination as the path to renewed growth and stability.

Recession? Not So Fast, Says IMF — Even After Trump Tariff Chaos

President Donald Trump has signaled a potential end to efforts in mediating peace between Russia and Ukraine, stating that the U.S. may &#8220;take a pass&#8221; on further negotiations <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888482/trump-set-ultimatum-for-russia-ukraine-peace-talks-not-going-to-continue-with-this-endeavour-for-weeks-and-months-says-secretary-of-state-marco-rubio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">if either side proves unwilling to compromise</a>.
BBC <a target="_blank" href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20x5xn1g92o" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports </a>that Trump emphasized urgency during remarks in the Oval Office on Friday, noting he wants a resolution soon, though not within a rigid timeframe.
Trump&#8217;s warning coincides with comments from Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who stressed that American involvement in ceasefire talks could end within days unless tangible progress emerges.
The administration is prioritizing results, not prolonged diplomatic standoffs, BBC reports.

As Russian forces continue to assault northeastern Ukrainian cities like Kharkiv and Sumy—leaving multiple casualties—U.S. officials are pressuring both sides to find common ground swiftly.
Despite initial confidence from the Trump administration in securing a quick ceasefire, progress has stalled, with Washington expressing frustration at both Moscow and Kyiv.
Trump&#8217;s past criticism of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and overtures to Vladimir Putin have stirred unease among NATO members, who remain committed to Ukraine&#8217;s defense.
Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia remains open to negotiations but under conditions aligning with Moscow&#8217;s interests.
Amid the fragile peace efforts, Ukraine and the U.S. have revived discussions around a joint investment fund aimed at post-war reconstruction.
The preliminary agreement, signed Thursday, also hints at broader cooperation over energy infrastructure and mineral resources.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Ukraine&#8217;s Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko confirmed the deal is progressing and could be finalized by April 26, BBC adds.
Zelensky has continued to push for firm security assurances from the U.S. in any ceasefire deal, warning European allies that a truce without such commitments would leave Ukraine vulnerable.
U.S. officials, however, argue that American business investment itself may serve as a deterrent against future Russian aggression.

Trump May 'Take a Pass' on Russia-Ukraine Peace Talks Without Progress

President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to eliminate all federal funding for Head Start in his 2026 budget proposal, putting a program that has served nearly 40 million children since 1965 at serious risk.
According to <a href="https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2025/04/11/trump-proposal-eliminating-head-start/83045346007/">USA Today</a>, which cites a government official familiar with the plan, the White House&#8217;s proposed budget would zero out funding for Head Start, part of a broader effort to shrink the federal government under the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/11/42152862/trump-picks-project-2025-co-author-russell-vought-for-omb">Project 2025</a> policy blueprint. The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps families with heating and cooling costs, is also on the chopping block.

</ul>
While the White House has not confirmed the cut, Rachel Cauley, a spokesperson for the Office of Management and Budget, said, &#8220;No final funding decisions have been made.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Critics Warn of Catastrophic Consequences</h2>
Even so, the news has sparked widespread concern. The National Head Start Association called the proposal to eliminate the program &#8220;catastrophic&#8221; and warned it could result in more than 1 million parents losing access to affordable child care and preschool, disrupting their ability to work.
&#8220;Meals, developmental screenings and health care for nearly 800,000 children would disappear,&#8221; NHSA Executive Director Yasmina Vinci told USA Today. &#8220;We urge every parent, every American, and every believer in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/10/41196233/kevin-oleary-defends-the-american-dream-on-fox-business-im-the-guy-that-invests-in-businesses-5-to-5">American dream</a> to reach out to their elected officials to express their outrage about such a proposal.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Regional Offices Shut Down Without Warning</h2>
The proposal comes on the heels of abrupt closures of at least five regional Head Start offices in Boston, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle. These offices provide crucial oversight and support for local Head Start programs.
NHSA said it was informed of the closures early last week and is urging the administration to halt further action until a transition plan is in place. &#8220;Closing these regional Head Start offices could create delays in essential program support and weaken the system that has successfully served millions of children for decades,&#8221; the group said in a <a href="https://nhsa.org/press_release/nhsa-expresses-deep-concern-over-administration-shuttering-regional-offices/">statement</a>.
The staffing cuts, part of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr's downsizing plans, left many program directors blindsided. &#8220;None of us saw this coming,&#8221; Janice Smith, early childhood services director at the Oakland Livingston Human Service Agency in Southeastern Michigan, told the <a href="https://eu.freep.com/story/news/education/2025/04/11/trump-cuts-head-start-jobs-leaving-local-michigan-programs-uncertain-of-future-closures/83009348007/">Detroit Free Press</a>.
NHSA emphasized that less than 1% of Head Start's annual funding goes to federal staff, including those working in regional offices.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Sen. Murray: &#8216;Offensive and Just Plain Wrong&#8217;</h2>
Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), vice chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, slammed the Trump administration's proposal in a statement released Monday.
&#8220;While families feel the crunch with a worsening child care crisis and much higher daily costs thanks to Trump's tariffs, President Trump wants to eliminate Head Start and kick hundreds of thousands of kids out of the classroom, fire teachers, and make child care and early learning more expensive and less safe,&#8221; Murray said in a <a href="https://www.murray.senate.gov/senator-murray-statement-on-trump-budget-proposal-to-fully-eliminate-head-start/">statement</a>.
She added, &#8220;This administration believes we cannot afford to help families get preschool or help kids get basic health services, but we can afford trillions of dollars more in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43578641/bernie-sanders-says-we-must-not-savage-programs-for-working-families-to-provide-huge-tax-breaks-for-billionaires">tax breaks for billionaires</a>. It's offensive and just plain wrong.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's at Stake</h2>
Head Start serves more than 750,000 children nationwide and is especially important in rural areas where other early childhood education options are scarce. The program provides early learning, health care, and family support to low-income families.
NHSA said it will continue working with the administration and Congress to protect the program. &#8220;An investment in Head Start is an important investment in our youngest learners, their families, our communities, and our nation,&#8221; the organization stated.
With Congress holding the final say on the budget, the future of Head Start now rests on political negotiations. But for the millions of families relying on it, the threat feels immediate and very real.

'It's Offensive And Just Plain Wrong'—Trump's Budget Proposal To Eliminate Head Start, Affecting Over 1 Million Parents

In the ongoing antitrust trial against&nbsp;Meta Platforms Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FB#NASDAQ">FB</a>), decade-old emails from CEO Mark Zuckerberg have taken center stage.
What Happened: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has been scrutinizing Zuckerberg&#8217;s emails, some of which are over 10 years old, during the trial. These emails disclose Zuckerberg&#8217;s long-held apprehensions about potential antitrust issues.
In a 2018 email to senior Facebook executives, Zuckerberg voiced concern that the company&#8217;s growth trajectory could invite antitrust regulation. This email was emphasized by the FTC&#8217;s lead attorney, Daniel Matheson, during the trial.
The emails also shed light on Zuckerberg&#8217;s worries about rising competitors and his candid evaluations of Facebook&#8217;s key deals. In a 2012 email to COO Sheryl Sandberg, Zuckerberg discussed the necessity to acquire Instagram due to its swift growth, reports <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/zuckerberg-meta-antitrust-trial-emails-ftc-2025-4">the</a> Business Insider.
If the FTC emerges victorious in the case, it could potentially force Meta to divest Instagram and WhatsApp. However, legal experts argue that proving Meta established its monopoly through these acquisitions will be a tough task, given that the FTC had previously greenlit these mergers.

Mark Hansen, Meta&#8217;s lead attorney, has tried to downplay the importance of Zuckerberg&#8217;s emails, suggesting that worrying about competition is a standard part of a CEO&#8217;s job.
Why It Matters: The emergence of Zuckerberg&#8217;s old emails as key evidence in the trial underscores the FTC&#8217;s determination to hold Meta accountable for potential antitrust violations. 
The emails not only reveal Zuckerberg&#8217;s longstanding concerns about antitrust issues but also his strategic moves to neutralize emerging competitors. The outcome of this trial could have far-reaching implications for Meta and other tech giants, potentially reshaping the digital landscape. 
If the FTC wins, it could set a precedent for future antitrust cases, signaling a tougher regulatory environment for big tech companies.

Zuckerberg's Leaked Emails Show His Rivals Lived Rent-Free in His Mind

According to a recent survey, 40% of Americans with credit card debt are under the impression that making minimum payments is an effective way to manage their debt.
This misunderstanding is contributing to the escalating credit card debt in the country, which has now hit a record high of $1.2 trillion. The <a href="https://www.experianplc.com/newsroom/press-releases/2025/americans-tackling-debt-to-achieve-their-own-cinderella-story">survey</a> was carried out by Experian.
It revealed that a large number of Americans falsely believe that making the minimum payment on their credit card debt is enough to keep it under control. This misunderstanding is contributing to the growing credit card debt in the United States, which has reached an all-time high.

According to&nbsp;the Federal Reserve Bank of&nbsp;New York, American consumers collectively owe $1.2 trillion in credit card debt.&nbsp;
Experts suggest strategies such as&nbsp;the &#8220;snowball&#8221; or &#8220;avalanche&#8221; methods&nbsp;to effectively manage and pay off credit card debt. Both methods have their pros and cons, and the choice depends on what works best for the individual.
The issue of credit card debt is a serious one, with experts stressing the importance of strategic debt management.&nbsp;
&#8220;Credit card debt is the&nbsp;highest cost debt for most&nbsp;households.

Survey Unveils American Misconceptions About Credit Card Debt Management

When it comes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44793077/retirement-nightmare-45-year-old-weighs-230k-lump-sum-vs-lifetime-pension-are-dividends-a-good-idea-for-me-reddit-reacts">retirement planning</a>, many Americans contribute to a traditional 401(k). But there&#8217;s another option available in most employer-sponsored retirement plans — and according to personal finance expert Suze Orman, far too few people are taking advantage of it.
The Roth 401(k) is a feature offered by roughly 90% of workplace retirement plans, yet only about 20% of participants are using it, according to Orman. She believes this overlooked strategy could offer major benefits, especially when it comes to taxes in retirement.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Roth 401(k) vs. Traditional 401(k): Know the Difference</h2>
With a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44424162/its-a-really-really-bad-idea-suze-orman-warns-58-year-old-against-using-a-401k-to-buy-a-lifetime">traditional 401(k)</a>, your contributions are made with pre-tax dollars. That means you reduce your taxable income today, but you'll owe income tax on every dollar you withdraw in retirement.
A Roth 401(k), by contrast, is funded with after-tax dollars. You won't get a tax break up front, but qualified withdrawals in retirement are completely tax-free. That includes both your contributions and any investment earnings.
"So for those of you saving in a 401(k), I want you to check if your plan offers the Roth 401(k) option. If so, I think you should consider switching your new contributions over to the Roth 401(k)," Orman wrote in a recent <a href="https://www.suzeorman.com/blog/The-Best-Investing-Move-for-Your-Retirement">blog post</a>.&nbsp;
Trending: It&#8217;s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $250 million in art — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">this alternative asset has outpaced the S&amp;P 500 since 1995, delivering an average annual return of 11.4%. Here&#8217;s how everyday investors are getting started.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Suze Orman Recommends Switching Future Contributions</h2>
Orman isn't advising anyone to convert their existing traditional 401(k) balances to a Roth — that move comes with a tax bill. Instead, she's suggesting that savers consider directing new contributions into a Roth 401(k), if their plan offers it.
This strategy, she says, could help reduce your taxable income in retirement. If you've already built up savings in a traditional 401(k), adding Roth savings to the mix gives you more flexibility. You'll be able to tap into tax-free funds in retirement, which could help you stay in a lower tax bracket and minimize required minimum distributions from your traditional accounts.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Avoiding Higher Medicare Premiums</h2>
Another important reason Orman says to consider a Roth 401(k)? Your future Medicare premiums.
Medicare Part B premiums are based on your taxable income. Withdrawals from a traditional 401(k) count as taxable income, but withdrawals from a Roth 401(k) do not — assuming the account has been open for at least five years and you're 59½ or older.
By using tax-free funds from a Roth 401(k), you may be able to avoid crossing into higher income tiers that trigger <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44694563/medicare-advantage-rates-expected-to-climb-over-5-in-2026-easing-pressure-on-managed-care">increased Medicare costs</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Flexibility for Life's "What Ifs"</h2>
A Roth 401(k) can also provide valuable peace of mind. Whether it's a big vacation, home care, or an unexpected expense, knowing you have access to tax-free funds can ease the financial pressure.
"I strongly believe that you will appreciate having some of your retirement money in Roth accounts once you are in retirement," Orman says.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bottom Line</h2>
If your employer offers a Roth 401(k), it might be worth giving this underused tool a closer look. Contributing even a portion of your future retirement savings to a Roth 401(k) could offer greater tax flexibility, protect your Medicare premiums, and give you more control over your retirement income.

90% of Plans Offer It, But Only 20% Use It — Suze Orman Says This 401(k) Feature Is Being Ignored at Your Own Risk

Bill Ackman&#8216;s hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management has acquired a significant stake in Hertz Global Holdings Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HTZ#NYSE">HTZ</a>).
What Happened: The stake, which includes both&nbsp;share ownership and total return&nbsp;swaps, has been built up since the end of last year. 
Ackman is of the opinion that Hertz can bounce back from an ill-advised investment in&nbsp;Tesla Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) electric vehicles and leverage a potential surge in used-car prices triggered by President Donald Trump&#8216;s&nbsp;tariff on US auto imports.
In a post on X, Ackman said that the company has "a 19.8% stake in the company comprised of outright share ownership and total return swaps."

"Hertz is uniquely well-positioned in the current tariff environment. Hertz owns a fleet of over 500,000 vehicles valued at approximately $12 billion. A 10% increase in used car prices would equate to a $1.2 billion gain on its auto assets – equivalent to approximately half of the company's current market capitalization," Ackman added in the post.

Following the news, Hertz&#8217;s shares soared&nbsp;44% in New York trading&nbsp;on Thursday, doubling in value over a two-day rally. 
The company&#8217;s CEO, Gil West, who is responsible for managing the company&#8217;s significant debt and implementing the turnaround, expressed gratitude for Ackman&#8217;s support in a note to employees.
Ackman also suggested a future where Hertz, leveraging its global presence, could manage a fleet of autonomous vehicles for&nbsp;Uber Technologies Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UBER#NYSE">UBER</a>). Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi responded positively to the idea, expressing interest in expanding their existing partnership.
&#8220;Investing is risky. There are no guarantees of a successful outcome. Caveat emptor,&#8221; he concluded in his post. 
Why It Matters: Ackman&#8217;s investment in Hertz is a strong vote of confidence in the company&#8217;s turnaround strategy. The hedge fund manager&#8217;s belief that Hertz can recover from its investment in Tesla and benefit from&nbsp;a potential rise in used-car&nbsp;prices due to tariffs on US auto imports could signal a positive future for the company.
Moreover, the idea of Hertz managing a fleet of autonomous vehicles for Uber could open up new avenues for the company, further strengthening its position in the market. However, Ackman has warned investors about the inherent risks, stating, &#8220;Investing is risky. There&nbsp;are no guarantees of a&nbsp;successful outcome. Caveat emptor.&#8221;

Members of AmeriCorps and Peace Corps are facing an uncertain future due to staff cuts initiated by&nbsp;the White House DOGE office. This has left numerous young volunteers and employees in a state of doubt regarding their career trajectories.
What Happened: AmeriCorps members were unexpectedly sent home, with many of them only three months into their ten-month service contracts. This sudden decision has left thousands of volunteers and employees in a state of uncertainty, as they prepare for potential layoffs.
The&nbsp;White House DOGE&nbsp;office had previously visited the&nbsp;AmeriCorps and Peace Corps headquarters, leading to speculation about the future of these agencies. 
However, despite the hiring freeze, the Peace Corps confirmed that volunteer recruitment activities are ongoing and no staff have been cut as of yet, reports <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/americorps-peacecorps-genz-doge-trump-cuts-career-2025-4">the</a> Insider.
Founded in 1993 and 1961&nbsp;respectively, AmeriCorps and the Peace&nbsp;Corps enroll hundreds of thousands&nbsp;of young adult volunteers each&nbsp;year. These volunteers, who&nbsp;receive a stipend for living&nbsp;expenses, participate in various service works in local communities. The experience often serves as a stepping stone&nbsp;for a career in public&nbsp;service.

Nevertheless, the recent developments have left many members concerned about their future career prospects. The White House confirmed that about&nbsp;75% of full-time AmeriCorps employees&nbsp;were placed on administrative leave&nbsp;this week, with&nbsp;no clear timeline for when&nbsp;they&nbsp;could return to work or&nbsp;be fired.
An administration official cited AmeriCorps&#8217; failure in eight consecutive audits and its management of&nbsp;over $1 billion in taxpayer&nbsp;dollars every year as reasons for the staff shake-up. AmeriCorps representatives have not responded to requests for comment.
Why It Matters: The current situation has raised concerns about the future of public service agencies and the impact on young volunteers who rely on these programs for career development. 
The uncertainty also raises questions about the management of taxpayer dollars and the accountability of these agencies. 
The outcome of this situation could have far-reaching implications for public service in the United States.

Dave Ramsey is known for helping people get out of debt, so it was shocking when he told a 40-year-old widower to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdlvQ48onNo">buy a new car</a>. The caller mentioned he was considering a new car to impress women since he's ready to attract another woman in his life. Ramsey didn't only tell him to get a new car, but he was pretty adamant about it.
"Regardless of women, you should get a better car. Your car sucks."
The context behind this response and the advice Ramsey gives later in the call can help people who are looking for love and want to build their net worth.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Caller Has An Old Vehicle</h2>
It's normal for people to drive older vehicles. The average age of a U.S. vehicle reached a <a href="https://www.spglobal.com/mobility/en/research-analysis/average-age-vehicles-united-states-2024.html#:~:text=Vehicles%20on%20the%20road%20are,2023%2C%20according%20to%20new%20analysis.">record 12.6 years</a> in 2024. New cars are expensive and can get you deep into debt, but there are two unique factors to the caller's situation.
The first one is that the caller is driving a 25-year-old pick-up truck. Even a used car from the 2010s is a massive upgrade from an old pick-up truck. The second detail is that the caller is in a tremendous financial position. He has a $1.3 million net worth and earns $132,000 per year. He also has no debt, no mortgage, and no kids.
While the caller shouldn't get an exotic luxury vehicle, he doesn't have to settle for a 25-year-old pick-up truck either.&nbsp;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Don't Buy A Car Just To Attract Women</h2>
The way Ramsey framed his advice is also important. He said that the caller should get a better car, even if trying to impress women wasn't a part of the equation. While Ramsey recommended a vehicle upgrade, he also warned against the caller tipping people off on his net worth.
"If you impress them with the car, it's the wrong woman," Ramsey responded.
A flashy car risks attracting a woman who only loves you for your money. Showing off rich items may attract a gold digger.&nbsp;
However, it is still ideal to have a car that's in good condition. Ramsey's daughter, Rachel Cruze, was the co-host for this episode, and she chimed in from the woman's perspective.&nbsp;
Cruze said that having a beat-up car can indicate to a woman that she has to be the breadwinner to hold up the family financially. Not every woman wants that pressure, especially biblical women. It's common for biblical women to see themselves as the person who has to nurture the kids while the father is the breadwinner who provides for the family.&nbsp;
See Also: Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/rad-intel">invest pre-IPO from $0.60 per share now</a>.
A good car can show a woman that you are able to provide. It can indicate that you either have good finances or are making progress with your finances.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Caller Is Looking At Used Cars</h2>
The caller has good financial management skills based on his net worth, and he's also looking at cars that range from $5,000 to $10,000. That puts him in the used car market, which isn't a bad thing. Almost any car is an upgrade from what he currently has.
While he has the flexibility to raise his budget, the caller's desire to spend a relatively small amount of money on a car demonstrates good financial management. A new car is a good investment, and in this case, a new car can simply mean a used car that looks better than the pick-up truck.

A Widower Asks Dave Ramsey If He Should Get A New Car To Impress Woman: 'Regardless Of Women, You Should Get A Better Car. Your Car Sucks.'

Cryptocurrency analyst Benjamin Cowen has proposed that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) could potentially see a 137% increase in a perfect market scenario.
What Happened: Cowen, during his discussion with Kyle Chasse, put forth that Bitcoin could reach up to $200,000 if it&nbsp;is currently in a right-translated&nbsp;cycle. This type of market cycle is characterized by prices peaking later rather than sooner.
During the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nTKdVWUM1Y">interview</a>, Cowen inferred that in such a cycle, Bitcoin could experience a 10x increase from its lowest point, positioning it around $150,000. However, he does not anticipate Bitcoin reaching $300,000 in this cycle, even though he is confident it will eventually hit that mark.
The analyst stressed that for Bitcoin to stay on course for new all-time highs in this cycle, it needs to uphold the 2024 high of&nbsp;approximately&nbsp;$72,000 on the weekly chart. He expressed a positive outlook for later in the year if Bitcoin can sustain this level, even in the face of another pullback.
"I would say that it's possible if we get a right translated cycle that from the bottom Bitcoin could go up about 10x or something, which would probably put it around $150,000. So I would say, in a right translated cycle my guess is that it would be anywhere from like $120,000 to like $150,000,&#8221; he said.

&#8220;It's possible in the perfect scenario that it could go all the way up to $200,000. I don't think Bitcoin will hit $300,000 this cycle. I do think Bitcoin will eventually hit $300,000, but I don't think it will be this cycle," Cowen added. 
&#8220;I would definitely become more optimistic later on this year. That's my main concern right now, is, if there is another pullback, can we hold it? The good news is we've held it so far, and we actually technically we haven't even tested it. So the good news is if there is another drop, you probably would have some bulls try to hold the line at those levels because we haven't even tested those levels yet," he continued. 
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $84,483, with no significant change on the day.
Why It Matters: Cowen&#8217;s predictions come at a time when Bitcoin&#8217;s performance is under intense scrutiny. The cryptocurrency&#8217;s ability to maintain a high weekly chart, as Cowen suggests, could be a key determinant of its future trajectory. 
His forecast of a potential 137% surge under ideal conditions underscores the volatile and unpredictable nature of the crypto market. However, it also highlights the immense potential for growth that Bitcoin holds, reinforcing its appeal to investors. 
Despite the lack of a specific timeline for when Bitcoin might hit the $300,000 mark, Cowen&#8217;s optimism provides a positive outlook for the cryptocurrency&#8217;s long-term performance.

This Crypto Analyst Predicts Bitcoin Could Soar 137% Under Perfect Market Conditions

Robert Kiyosaki, the well-known entrepreneur and author, has predicted that Bitcoin&#8217;s price will soon exceed $1 million.
What Happened: In a post on X on Friday, Kiyosaki, the author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, expressed the view that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) will cross the $1 million mark.
His prediction is rooted in the current financial state of the U.S., which is burdened with heavy debt, soaring unemployment rates, and shrinking pension funds.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

Kiyosaki also expressed concerns about a potential &#8220;Greater Depression&#8221; looming over the country, a prediction he had made in his early 2000&#8217;s book Rich Dad's Prophecy. Despite the bleak outlook, Kiyosaki conveyed that individuals can still amass wealth amidst the current market crash.
He advocates for investing in Bitcoin, gold, and silver, stating that owning even a fraction of Bitcoin could lead to wealth post-crisis. He is confident that by 2035, Bitcoin&#8217;s price will cross $1 million, with gold and silver also witnessing significant increases in value.

At the time the report was published, Bitcoin was trading at $84,967, marking a 2% increase since the previous Wednesday.
