The maximum Social Security benefit you can collect in 2024 is $4,873. And if that's the benefit you're in line for, you may be able to live quite comfortably on Social Security alone, even though retirees are commonly advised not to do that. Now to be fair, if you're in line for Social Security's maximum monthly benefit, it means you were a pretty high earner during your career.

Image source: Getty Images Have you seen how high the APYs have gotten on certificates of deposit (CDs)? As of Jan. 21, 2024, some of the offers on our best CDs list were offering rates of up to 5.51% APY! With the Fed (possibly) getting ready to cut interest rates, now could be a good chance to lock in a high yield on a CD. But even though the APYs are tempting, I'm not convinced that opening a CD is the right move for my personal finances.

Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) stock peaked at more than $400 in 2021, which valued the company north of $1 trillion. But it has since plunged 52% from that high point amid a series of economic headwinds like high inflation and rising interest rates, which have forced consumers to tighten their belts. The electric vehicle (EV) industry is also slowly maturing, and Tesla is no longer the disruptive start-up it once was; it now sells millions of cars each year, which means it can't grow as quickly as it did
