#LDW What you need to know to have an intelligent conversation this weekend

Labor Day weekend is here...

And for whatever you have planned make sure you are ready to hold a conversation with your closest friends, an interesting new stranger, or your family.

NUMBER 1: The Federal Reserve a.k.a The Fed is trying to decide if they want to raise interest rates
         The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States. They lend money to banks in order          to help control the US economy.

What does an interest rate raise mean to you??

With higher interest rates you have to pay more to borrow money
AND you will have less disposable income

SO SAVE DAT MONEY

NUMBER 2: Brock Turner gets out of jail early. If you do not know who this is... Google it. 
The Standford swimmer who went to jail for sexual assault and sparked conversation everywhere. 


NUMBER 3: I am so apathetic about this presidential election so try and spend your weekend relaxing and not worrying about who is the worse presidential candidate. #sorrynotsorry

NUMBER 4: Waze. The app that tries and help you avoid traffic, and potholes, and cops. 
It was recently bought by Google.
They are using it to launch a ride sharing service.
It would be way cheaper than Uber and Lyft.
TBD whether it's the next big thing.

NUMBER 5: Hurricane Hermine hits Florida. If you live in the southeast it is time to break out your raincoat and Hunter boots. 


HAVE A GREAT LABOR DAY WEEKEND EVERYONE :)
