A big payday is on the horizon for Gen X
Members of the so-called forgotten generation — now aged 45 to 60 — stand to receive $1.4 trillion annually over the next decade, according to a new report from Cerulli Associates, as their baby boomer parents get older and die.
The report notes that while millennials will still inherit the most money over the next 25 years, totaling $45.6 trillion, Gen X members will receive more money than any other generation in the near term.
'The boomers really have created more wealth than any other generation in US history,' Bradley Schurman, author of "The Super Age," told Yahoo Finance. 'And younger Gen Xers and early millennials are going to be the ones that get the first wave of this from their parents.'
If you're not quite ready for a financial adviser to join forces with you, consider a robo-advisor.

Vanguard, for instance, offers several layers of advice for those who might want less handholding, but all include tax-efficient strategies and portfolio management for retirement planning and advice customized for you.
To have access to a robo-advisor, you'll shell out an annual advisory fee of $15 for every $10,000 you have invested at Vanguard. For access to a hybrid personal adviser and robo-helper, it's $30 for every $10,000 invested as long as you have at least $50,000 in Vanguard accounts.The artificial intelligence approach can be a smart first step. That said, 'artificial intelligence is not designed to be a counselor and partner in retirement,' Schurman said.
'AI offers a great starting point, but it doesn't have the emotional intelligence needed to assist individuals in the long run,' Schurman added.

Android's hidden phone info menu is finally getting organized
Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android Canary is showing a change to the hidden phone information menu. There's a new entry called 'Phone Information V2.' The new entry separates information that was on one page into four categories: Device Details, Data & Network, Satellite, and IMS. Did you know that Android has secret short codes you can use to gain quick access to certain features or information? You just have to enter one of the codes into the dialer to trigger an action or be taken to a hidden menu. In Android Canary, it looks like one of these hidden menus is getting a change. When you type in *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer, your phone will show you a hidden menu with options including Phone information, Usage statistics, and Wi-Fi information. Most people who know about this hidden menu tend to use it to force-lock their network to 3G, 4G, or 5G, so it doesn't switch automatically. Something we noticed in Android Canary is that this menu now has a fourth entry — Phone Information V2. Previously, all of the details in the Phone information option were presented on one page. This new option separates that information into four different tabs: Device Details, Data & Network, Satellite, and IMS. As expected, the tabs neatly bin all relevant information into the categories they belong in. The Satellite tab is particularly interesting as it is completely new. Got a tip? Talk to us!

How major US stock indexes fared Monday, 7/14/2025
U.S. stock indexes held near their records following President Donald Trump's latest updates to his tariffs, as speculation continues that he may ultimately back down on them. The S&P 500 edged up by 0.1% Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.2%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3%. Stock indexes fell in Europe but were mixed elsewhere after Trump announced 30% tariffs on goods from Mexico and the European Union. They won't take effect until Aug. 1, which leaves time for more negotiations. Treasury yields held steady in the bond market, while bitcoin rallied at the start of Washington's 'Crypto Week.' On Monday: The S&P 500 rose 8.81 points, or 0.1%, to 6,268.56. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 88.14 points, or 0.2%, to 44,459.65.
