*By Carlo Versano* Whether you're paying off student debt, a car loan, or a cell phone bill, this father-daughter duo wants you to remember there's a "Millionaire Within," and it's your job to find it. Such is the wisdom ー and title ー of a book by Walter Wisniewski and Allie Vanaski, the owners of Arcadia Wealth Management who are preaching their family's financial advice for millennials, which revolves around saving, saving, and more saving. Speaking to Cheddar, Wisniewski and Vanaski outlined the four "buckets" of equity young people should strongly consider: * **1. Cash savings and money in the bank** * **2. Invested assets, including IRAs or 401Ks** * **3. Use assets, like a home or car** * **4. Human capital, or "your power to produce"** The pair said some "financial multitasking" can go a long way in creating a workable savings plan, even if you feel hampered by crushing debt. Look at your cash flow, and allocate a little for debt (depending on what your interest rate is) a little for savings, and a little for investments. "You have to do little pieces all at the same time," Vanaski said. We tend to separate money based on subjective criteria like where it came from, Wisniewski added. But that makes it harder to stay on track: whether it's a paycheck or a check from grandma, the source is irrelevant, according to the authors. "Save a little bit of everything you've earned," Vanaski said. As for the stock market, there's no better time to get in then when stocks are on the dip ー like now ー especially when you're young and have a long investing horizon, Vanaski said: "We look at it as: stocks are on sale." "The power of compounding dividends means early investments are apt to increase in value even in a turbulent market." "Save early and don't worry about the market," Wisniewski said. In this case, saving means investing. "Everyone has the power to become a millionaire," Vanaski added. For full interview [click here](https://cheddar.com/videos/how-to-find-your-inner-millionaire).

Al Sharpton to lead pro-DEI march through Wall Street
The Rev. Al Sharpton is set to lead a protest march on Wall Street to urge corporate America to resist the Trump administration’s campaign to roll back diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The New York civil rights leader will join clergy, labor and community leaders Thursday in a demonstration through Manhattan’s Financial District that’s timed with the anniversary of the Civil Rights-era March on Washington in 1963. Sharpton called DEI the “civil rights fight of our generation." He and other Black leaders have called for boycotting American retailers that scaled backed policies and programs aimed at bolstering diversity and reducing discrimination in their ranks.
A US tariff exemption for small orders ends Friday. It’s a big deal.
Low-value imports are losing their duty-free status in the U.S. this week as part of President Donald Trump's agenda for making the nation less dependent on foreign goods. A widely used customs exemption for international shipments worth $800 or less is set to end starting on Friday. Trump already ended the “de minimis” rule for inexpensive items sent from China and Hong Kong, but having to pay import taxes on small parcels from everywhere else likely will be a big change for some small businesses and online shoppers. Purchases that previously entered the U.S. without needing to clear customs will be subject to the origin country’s tariff rate, which can range from 10% to 50%.
Southwest Airlines’ new policy will affect plus-size travelers. Here’s how
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
