So, if you've splashed out on new tech this Amazon Prime Day, why not protect it and take advantage of one more great deal.
NordVPN Plus, NordVPN Complete, and NordVPN Prime are the plans to highlight for US users.
NordVPN Plus is the first premium tier offered by NordVPN and represents a big leap up from NordVPN Basic.
NordVPN Plus costs $3.76 per month ($105.36 up front pre-tax) for 28 months of VPN protection. For this, you'll get a $20 Amazon gift card.
NordVPN Basic comes in at $2.91 per month, which is the lowest price we've seen for a while. But for less than $1 a month more, you'll unlock a heap of extra features with NordVPN Plus.
Features include Threat Protection Pro, which protects against malware and phishing, and NordPass, one of the best password managers. This is in addition to the protection for 10 devices, 950+ Mbps speeds, and post-quantum encryption offered as standard – and there's the bonus gift card too.
NordVPN Complete is the next tier up. It's $4.62 per month ($129.36 up front pre-tax) for a 28 month subscription and includes a $40 Amazon gift card.
The up front cost of this plan is $24 more than NordVPN Plus. 1TB of encrypted cloud storage is the only extra NordVPN feature you'll benefit from but you're also doubling your Amazon gift card value from $20 to $40.
Working out at $6.33 per month ($177.36 up front pre-tax), NordVPN Prime is the most expensive plan NordVPN has. This will cover you for 28 months and grant you a $50 Amazon gift card.
NordVPN Prime is a total cybersecurity package. Everything in previous plans is included here plus NordProtect.
There's up to $1 million in ID theft insurance, as well as up to $100k in cyber extortion insurance. You can keep an eye on your data thanks to dark web and credit monitoring and a dedicated case manager will assist you with any claims.
As VPN plans go, it's an expensive one, but we rarely see NordVPN Prime drop below $7 a month. So if you're in the market for complete cybersecurity protection, this deal could be for you.
It's not just the US that is getting this exclusive offer, it's the UK, Australia, and Canada too. Like the US, all two-year plans except NordVPN Basic come with four free extra months and an Amazon gift card.

NordVPN Ultra is CA$7.71 per month (CA$215.76 up front pre-tax), and includes a CA$50 Amazon gift card.
Like the UK, Canada's most premium NordVPN plan differs from NordVPN Prime in the US. Instead of NordProtect, Canadians will receive a subscription to the data removal service Incogni – this is a paid add-on for other international users.

Forget Prime Day — You can still save on these 21 running shoe deals on Brooks, Skechers, Asics and more at Amazon
Prime Day may be over, but you can still find plenty of great running shoe deals on Amazon hanging around. Some of our favorite pairs are seeing stellar discounts right now, but you'll have to run, not walk, to snag these deals before they're gone. I'm talking Skechers deals from $13, Brooks for under $100, and up to 30% off the best running shoes from Asics. Amazon is one of my favorite places to go for Skechers deals, and while it's hard to pick just one, I highly recommend the Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 on sale from $43 at Amazon. In our Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review, we praised their bouncy and comfortable feel underfoot and called them a great pair for beginner runners. I'm more of an Asics girlie myself, so my top pick is the Asics Novablast 4 on sale from $99. It's bouncy and lively enough to help you pick up the pace on your tempo runs and speed sessions, while still being cushioned and comfortable on long runs and easy days. Just keep in mind that the prices vary based on your choice of size and color, so check out the different color options in your size to score the best deals. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes coverage. Score these comfortable Skechers sneakers starting from $14. They feature a Skechers memory foam footbed and come in four stylish color options. Reviewers on Amazon say these are sturdy and fit true to size. The Skechers Tantric are on sale for a super-cheap price, although the discount doesn't apply to all sizes and colors. These are super comfortable to wear thanks to their soft perforated footbed and canvas strap. These creatively-named Skechers wedges are on sale for a steal in certain sizes and colors! These sandals are super comfortable to wear thanks to their stretchy strap and Memory Foam footbed. I love the color option with the sparkly jewels on the strap! Score a great deal on these Skechers Nampa Groton. These simple shoes look smart and have a super comfortable Skechers Memory Foam footbed. They're also slip resistant, making them a solid choice for work days. Looking to save on a comfortable and secure sandal now that the season's winding down? You can't go wrong with this Skechers slide sandal that features a lightweight upper with adjustable buckle straps, a contoured cushioned footbed and podiatrist-certified arch support. These are the best Skechers slip-ins we've tested, so they're the ones to get if you want a super easy way to put your shoes on. They're lightweight, stretchy and breathable. In our Skechers Slip Ins Dazzling Haze review, we said they're perfect for low-impact activities like walking, light resistance training and dance cardio. If you prefer the classic slip-on look, the Go-Walk 5 Skechers have a soft, breathable, knitted upper that is comfortable across the top of your foot, whether you're wearing socks or not. They are machine washable, comfortable underfoot, and by design, extremely easy to slip on and off. These Skechers loafers are both smart and comfortable. They blend in well everywhere, from the office to the beach! With air-cooled memory foam underfoot and a stretch knit upper, your feet will be supported, and there's no chance of blisters. These Skechers sandals are the perfect summer shoe. They have Skechers' iconic comfortable midsole, paired with breathable, adjustable straps for a supportive fit, wherever you're walking this summer. They are vegan, and machine washable, with one customer writing, "Most comfortable sandals that I have ever bought. Bought one pair a year ago and had to buy another one this year cause they were that good." Now is a great time to buy, as the shoes are discounted in the two most popular colors: sand and black. If you're hitting the road, these Skechers are an excellent choice. Our Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review said that these are great for beginner runners thanks to their affordable price point, bouncy and propulsive soles and breathable design. We rank these shoes as the best Skechers for novice runners. These extremely light and breathable shoes are supportive, durable and come in at an affordable price point. However, we noted in our Skechers Go Run Lite review that you'll eventually want to upgrade to a shoe that is engineered for running longer distances if you do get serious about the sport. Did you know Skechers also makes running shoes? If you're obsessed with the soft cushioned comfort of Skechers, but want to run in them too, give these a try. This Tom's Guide staffer recently tested them and wrote, "I didn't know that I was missing a whole other level of comfort until I tested the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0. They are so comfortable to wear even just for walking around, but when I took them on a run for the first time I set a new PR for my 3-mile run." The Novablast 4 is on sale! Cycle through the different options to find the best deal in your size. My colleague runs marathons pretty much for a living, and it's one of her favorite pairs of Asics shoes. The Gel Venture 10 is a waterproof trail running shoe that comes in 11 different color options and is Amazon's #1 bestseller. We price-checked against Asics, and although they are running a sale, this is the lowest price available. Although a fairly modest discount, this shoe is currently at its lowest price in 30 days. It's regarded as a comfy and versatile sneaker that suits neutral runners in particular. Not fussed about the 26? I've had this running shoe for a few years, and I still trot out the 10Ks in them. They're so breathable and comfortable, and I feel like I'm basically running on teeny tiny puffy clouds. Plus, I quite like the slightly garish bold color pops. The Gel Cumulus 26 isn't the latest in the Gel Cumulus range, thanks to the Gel Cumulus 27, but this is a handsome deal to snap up if you don't care about having the latest shoe. It also saves you a lot of money, given that we only rated the 27 with 3 stars, and this one is far more worth the money. I personally love and still run in the Gel Nimbus range, and a 31% saving on the Gel Nimbus 26 is an absolute steal. Plenty of lightweight cushioning and a breathable upper make this the perfect shoe for longer miles, in my opinion. We're huge fans of the Gel Kayano 31 at TG. A generous slice of cushioning in the midsole and rearfoot PureGEL technology for a softer, bouncier ride. What's not to love? Right now, the men's Brooks Ghost 16 in this grey colorway is down to $99 in the Prime Day sale. You'll have to cycle through the different options to find the best deal for you in your size. The Brooks Ghost 16 is also on sale in the women's shoe at $99. Again, you'll have to look through the different colors to find the best deal in your size.

Only 34% of Americans Feel On Track For Retirement. Here Are 3 Stocks to Buy Now and Hold For Decades.
Key Points Amazon's flexibility is the source of its competitive edge, and the reason it can continue growing indefinitely. Uber Technologies is plugged into a major societal shift that could fuel big growth well into the distant future. American Express' business is more -- and more resilient -- than it seems on the surface. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Is your retirement nest egg where it needs to be right now? That is to say, is it big enough at this stage of your life to ensure it will be big enough then? Most Americans don't think theirs is. Although most people are saving something, as data from The Motley Fool's in-house research arm highlights, only 34% of Americans feel like they're actually on track for the comfortable retirement they're envisioning for themselves. The other 66% fear their golden years are going to be underfunded. If you're one of the 66%, although you can't go back in time and change the past, you can change your current growth trajectory by owning more of the right growth stocks. Here's a closer look at three such names that could beef up the returns on your retirement savings. Amazon Yes, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a frequently recommended trade. It's almost a cliché, in fact. The stock's also one of the market's most reliable long-term performers, with a future that's just as bright as its brilliant past. Amazon is not only one of the stock market's biggest companies in terms of market cap, it is the top name in North American e-commerce. Numbers from Digital Commerce 360 indicate that Amazon consistently controls roughly 40% of the continent's ever-growing online shopping industry. While its overseas reach isn't nearly as wide, its international arm is now at least reliably operationally profitable as well, thanks to several years of steady growth. Yet, e-commerce isn't Amazon's breadwinning business. Although it only accounts for about 16% of its total top line, its cloud computing arm, Amazon Web Services, produces on the order of 60% of the company's total earnings. The growth of both types of business has produced consistent double-digit sales growth for years, which is expected to remain firm for least several more. Amazon's peer-beating growth rate could actually last indefinitely for one overarching reason. That's Amazon's ability and willingness to adapt -- or even enter new lines of business -- as merited. Think about it. This company hasn't always been in the cloud computing business. That arm wasn't launched until 2006. Amazon Prime didn't exist until 2005. Even its most basic e-commerce operation has evolved since its infancy. While the website still looks about the same as it did years ago, it's now being monetized as an advertising medium more so than an e-commerce platform. Amazon collected more than $56 billion worth of high-margin ad revenue from its sellers last year, in exchange for featuring their goods. For perspective, that's more operating profit than its domestic and international e-commerce arms produced on a combined basis. There's every reason to believe Amazon can and will remain a growth monster well into the distant future. Uber Technologies Ride-hailing outfit Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) isn't just catching on with consumers. It's tapped into a massive sociocultural shift. That's the fading interest in car ownership in favor of using alternative forms of personal mobility (like ride-hailing). Data from the Federal Highway Administration puts things in perspective, highlighting how the number of licensed U.S. drivers between the ages of 16 and 19 has fallen from 65% as of 1995 to only about one-third now. That's just part of a much bigger paradigm. More and more people are never getting their license at any age. Then again, why would they become licensed drivers if they're less and less likely to own a car to drive? While older drivers remain relatively interested in ownership of a vehicle, data from a recent survey performed by Deloitte indicates that 44% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 would be willing to not own their own car. This disinterest is growing as time marches on, pointing not just to changing preferences, but a major societal shift as to what constitutes "normal" mobility options. Uber Technologies' results have long reflected its role in this shift. Revenue growth in the mid-teens is the norm now, and likely to remain the norm for a long while as individual car ownership continues to decline. An outlook from Straits Research suggests that the worldwide ride-hailing and taxi market is poised to grow at an average annualized pace of more than 11% through 2033, although this pace of progress could last far longer than that. The kicker: People are quickly falling in love with the idea of same-day delivery of online purchases too, which Uber now also offers. On a constant-currency basis, Uber's delivery revenue grew 22% to nearly $3.8 billion in the first quarter of this year, and now accounts for a little over 30% of the company's total top line. American Express Finally, add American Express (NYSE: AXP) to your list of stocks you can -- and arguably should -- buy and hold for decades in your retirement account. Ostensibly it's a credit card outfit, in the same vein as Visa and Mastercard. There are certainly plenty of similarities between the three companies. There are also a couple of critical distinguishing factors, however. Whereas Visa and Mastercard only manage payment networks and charge a modest fee for each purchase they facilitate, American Express manages its own payment network in addition to being the credit card issuer itself. This is no trivial detail, either. This much control of the purchase and payment process means serious operational savings. Perhaps the more important factor at work here, however, is the fact that American Express isn't as much of a credit card middleman as it is an operator of a perks and rewards program that just so happens to be built around credit cards. Some people are willing to pay up to $695 per year just to be able to access private airport lounges, enjoy discounted hotel stays, and receive credit toward entertainment purchases and ride-hailing services (and more). This makes American Express cards particularly appealing to a more affluent crowd that's less likely to curtail their spending or fail to make payments when economic headwinds constrict personal budgets. That's a nuance that the company's management wasn't shy about highlighting following April's release of its first-quarter results. You'll probably never see double-digit growth from American Express. You certainly haven't in the recent or not-so-recent past! You will, however, see persistent revenue and profit growth supporting consistent dividend growth and stock buybacks, which quietly add value in their own often-overlooked way. That's how an investment in this stock has easily beaten the performance of the S&P 500 over the course of the past 30 years, when reinvesting the dividends it's paid since then. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now? Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them. The 10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years. Consider when Netflix made this list on December 17, 2004... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $652,133!* Or when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000 at the time of our recommendation, you'd have $1,056,790!* Now, it's worth noting Stock Advisor's total average return is 1,048% — a market-crushing outperformance compared to 180% for the S&P 500.

Humphrey Yang Reveals A 'Poor Financial Decision' That Can Cost You Millions
Making fewer mistakes on your financial journey can help you build wealth faster. While some mistakes are worse than others, financial guru Humphrey Yang recently revealed a 'poor financial decision' that can cost you millions. This decision often stems from fear and not wanting to take risks. While it may be scary to take a risk in the moment, these same risks can set you up for long-term wealth. Yang identifies the mistake and shares what you can do to strengthen your finances. Don't Miss: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Many are rushing to grab $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Don't Let Your Cash Sit On The Sidelines Yang mentions that letting money sit in cash is one of the worst mistakes you can make. While there are benefits to establishing a small emergency fund, being afraid to invest money can result in significant losses. Although you will retain the same paper money if you avoid stocks and real estate, your purchasing power will go down. Yang says that keeping $1 million in the bank for 30 years would have been a terrible idea. However, he also mentions that if someone invested the same $1 million into an S&P 500 fund that averaged an 8% annualized return, they would end up with more than $10 million. Yang also mentioned that if you averaged a 3.5% return during that stretch via bonds and CDs, you would have ended up with $2.8 million. The one caveat with this return is that interest income is treated as ordinary income, which results in higher taxes. On the other hand, you'll get better tax rates with long-term capital gains on an S&P 500 fund, and you only pay taxes on that fund when you sell shares. Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — Purchasing Power Goes Down Each Year Money loses value each year due to inflation. Yang mentioned that inflation growth has averaged 2.52% per year since 1995. It's the main reason why everything feels like it's getting more expensive. When the government prints more money, the amount of goods does not change. Therefore, you have more money chasing the same number of goods and services. Yang provides an example of buying an iPhone at an auction. If everyone suddenly had more money to bid with, the iPhone would end up selling at a higher price. This trend doesn't look like it will stop. The government currently has a large debt that regularly accrues interest. Those interest payments require more money printing, which increases inflation. Any government spending also boosts To Counter Inflation The cost of products and services will continue to go up over time as federal debt and government spending increase. However, there are ways you can counter inflation. Yang mentions taking your money and putting it into an S&P 500 fund. This general concept is the key to keeping inflation in check when it comes to your finances. Investing in stocks, real estate, and commodities can help you ride the current instead of getting left behind. These assets have fixed supplies. Printing more money will not increase the amount of gold in the world, but more dollars chasing the same amount of gold will lead to higher gold prices. That's why gold and other commodities are considered valuable inflation hedges.
