Feel Like Saying 'Screw You' to the Economy? Try Revenge Saving
You can't control the economy, but you don't have to let it derail your financial security. Prostock-Studio/Getty Images The economy sucks lately. Constantly changing tariffs, rampant layoffs and a possible recession have me feeling like my financial security is out of my control. That's why I'm here for a new money trend: revenge saving. Revenge saving lets me reclaim control by doing what I can to combat economic uncertainty. And, I've gotta admit, it's kind of fun to channel my worry and frustrations into a quest for vengeance. Read more: Bracing for a Recession? These Accounts Can Keep Your Money Safe What is revenge saving? You may be familiar with revenge spending, or splurging after a period of hardship or deprivation. Many of us did it after the pandemic. I emerged from lockdown eager to make up for lost time. I booked a slew of dinners with friends and a haircut at an upscale salon to correct months of DIY home trims. Revenge spending was a way to regain control and relieve the pressure after going through tough times. Revenge saving can do the same thing, but it's much healthier for your finances. It shifts the focus from enjoying the here and now to building a buffer for the future. By tapping into the fear and uncertainty many of us are feeling about the economy, it can give you the extra motivational boost you need to stick to your financial goals. Personally, I find something deliciously satisfying about reframing savings not as a chore or a sacrifice, but as a "screw you!" to economic uncertainty and the high cost of living. Take that, economy! Building a cash cushion is a must at any time, but it's especially crucial now. In addition to the usual things that could derail your finances, like a sudden medical bill or pricey home repair, the threat of a job loss and runaway inflation have many of us on shaky ground. An emergency fund can help you weather these challenges without forcing you to rely on high-interest debt like credit cards or loans. And every little bit you can set aside helps. Even if your budget is tight, there are manageable steps you can take to boost your savings rate. How to revenge save like a pro Ready to take your vengeance on economic stress? Here's how to do it. 🤑 Harness the power of compound interest One of the secrets of savvy saving is compound interest. With compounding, you earn interest on the money you've deposited plus any interest you've earned so far. It can supercharge your savings, but only if you put your cash in the right account. The national average savings rate is a measly 0.38%, but today's top deposit accounts can offer rates 10 times that amount (or more). If you're building an emergency fund, look for a high-yield savings account with an APY above 3%. Your interest rate is variable and could change when the Federal Reserve starts cutting interest rates, but you'll still earn more over time than you would with a traditional savings account, and you can access your funds anytime if you need them. If you already have money earmarked for an expense with a specific timeline, like a new car or a home improvement, a certificate of deposit is a better fit. CD rates are fixed, so your interest rate won't go down, but you must keep your money in the account for the full term or face early withdrawal penalties. You also can't add money after you've opened the account, so you'll need to have all the cash on hand now. ↪️ Put your savings on autopilot I've struggled with remembering to set aside money each month. Sometimes I've just forgotten to do it, and sometimes I've overspent and had little left at the end of the month. Automating my savings has been a huge help. I set up an automated transfer every payday from my checking account to my savings account, so a set amount is put away before I can touch it. 🏆 Do a savings challenge Savings challenges are a fun way to gamify savings. Whether you try a no-buy month or another savings challenge, it can inspire you to find new ways to save and reframe your relationship with money. Take back your power The economy may be out of your hands, but you still have control over what you do with your money. By saving as much as you can now, you can make it easier to ride out whatever the economy has in store for you next. And that feels pretty awesome.

Single Men Do This When Dating–and It's Not Working Out
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When it comes to dating, men aim high—but the dating game has other plans. This is the conclusion of an international team of researchers who analyzed heterosexual users on a Czech online dating app. The findings suggest that while men tend to "aim high" in their pursuit of partners, matches are more likely to occur among individuals with more similar levels of perceived desirability. In their study, published in the journal PLOS One, the team propose that this pattern of mutual interest and desirability is largely a result of rejection rather than an initial preference for similarity. A man gestures to his date as she appears bored. A man gestures to his date as she appears bored. Prostock-Studio/Getty Images The Dynamics of Online Desirability The study delved into data from July 2017, involving over 2,000 heterosexual users in Prague and 624 in Brno. The researchers used social network analysis to map "swipes"—or expressions of interest—between users, allowing them to establish a hierarchy of desirability based on how many swipes each user received. Their analysis, according to the study's abstract, found that "the structure of the networks is considerably hierarchical." A key finding was that women generally ranked higher in this hierarchy—largely because the app had many more male users than female users. Because of the uneven gender ratio on the app, and gendered dating norms, men were typically "pursuers", sending more messages than receiving, and women were typically "choosers", receiving more messages than sending. Men Aim High, Women Match More Similarly The research also revealed a distinct difference in pursuit strategies between genders. The researchers found that "men tended to express interest in women who were more desirable than themselves, while women typically pursued men of more similar desirability." Furthermore, the study's discussion even observed that women "chose slightly less desirable partners on average," though it cautioned that "women's willingness to partner down should be taken with a grain of salt due to the low variability in men's desirability." This contrasts with some prior research that suggested aspirational pursuit for both genders. However, the picture changed significantly when the researchers looked at successful matches—instances of "mutual swipes," indicating reciprocal interest. These mutual swipes mostly occurred between men and women of more similar desirability. Rejection Drives Similarity in Matches This pattern suggests a fascinating dynamic at play in the online dating world. The authors explained this key takeaway: "Successful matches tend to happen between people with similar levels of desirability," they said. "This pattern is largely the result of rejection, rather than an initial preference for similarity. The successful matching outcomes tend to align more closely with women's preferences than with men's. "This likely reflects women's stronger position in the online dating market, as men outnumber women and are often expected to make the first move." The authors acknowledged limitations of the study, like focusing only on heterosexual users and one type of dating app—future research could expand to include queer users and other platforms to refine these understandings of dating dynamics. But, still, the study offers valuable evidence for understanding the earliest stages of dating in the digital age—suggesting that reality ultimately brings aspirations back to a more balanced playing field.
