Dave Ramsey sounds alarm on student loan debt
Many Americans receive an unexpected sum of money at one time or another. It can be a welcome surprise, but it often comes with complicated decisions. Some consider using it to relieve long-standing financial burdens such as paying off debts from student loans or credit cards, while others weigh the potential of turning it into something more. The best path isn't always clear. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Popular radio host and bestselling personal finance author Dave Ramsey was recently asked by an advice-seeker about a scenario fitting this description - and he offered some key advice that came with a warning. "Our daughter is a student, and she has $10,000 in student loan debt. She works part-time, and has a couple of scholarships, but she has borrowed a little along the way to bridge gaps," explained a man named Gilbert in an email sent to TheStreet by Ramsey Solutions. Related: Dave Ramsey has blunt words for Americans buying a car "Her uncle recently sold his business, and he told us he would like to give her a gift of $10,000," he continued. "We've talked to her about this, and we'd like to guide her in the smartest possible direction. Should she begin planning for the future, and use this gift to start investing, or should she use it to pay off her student loans?" One of Ramsey's major pieces of financial advice centers around the importance he places on getting out of debt - and finding ways to stay out of debt. But neither one of the two options for what to do with the unexpected $10,000 windfall being discussed here involve something irresponsible such as taking an unnecessary expensive vacation or buying a lavish sports car. So getting Ramsey's view on the best way to handle this fortunate turn of events would be be intriguing. Ramsey responded to the individual circumstance being described with a hypothetical thought about investing money in the stock market if no existing debt were present. "We'll start by pretending she doesn't have any student loan debt. In a case like that, would it be wise for her to borrow money on a student loan in order to invest?" Ramsey asked. "Of course not," he wrote. "It's a dumb question, but I want to get you thinking."

"If you don't pay off the loans, and invest it instead, it's just like you borrowed money to invest," Ramsey wrote. "See what I mean? That would be a pretty bad plan," he added. Related: Dave Ramsey has blunt words on spending money to keep a dog alive Ramsey bluntly explained his perspective on what he thought the daughter's financial priority should be in this situation. "In my opinion, your daughter needs to get her student loan mess cleaned up as soon as possible," Ramsey wrote. "And this gift from her uncle represents the perfect opportunity to do just that." Ramsey emphasized the importance of helping the daughter understand the need to get out of debt with an increasing sense of ugency. "Listen to me, Gilbert," he wrote. "The last thing in the world your daughter needs is a big pile of debt waiting on her when she gets out of school." "I want her to start investing at some point down the road, but she's just not in a good position to be an investor right now," he added. "She needs to pay off all those student loans. I'm talking about wiping out all that debt the minute she gets this wonderful gift in her hands." Ramsey closed with some encouraging words of advice. "And the second after she pays off those student loans, she should get to work on saving a pile of money, so she can complete her studies without racking up any more debt!" he wrote.

Veteran analyst updates S&P 500 prediction after record rally
How high could stocks go? That's the question most investors are asking after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite have delivered mouth-watering gains since President Donald Trump paused reciprocal tariffs on April 9. The S&P 500 has marched 24% higher, without much of a pause, while the technology-heavy Nasdaq Composite, which is weighted heavily toward the Magnificent 7, has climbed over 33%. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Those returns are impressive, especially considering that the S&P 500's average annual return since 1957 is about 10%, and the market was flirting with bear market territory only a little over two months ago. Stocks' rapid recovery isn't uncharted territory, though. The market has experienced sharp drops in the past, and how the S&P 500 performed after those declines may offer insight into how much gas for stocks may be left in the proverbial tank. Longtime veteran Wall Street analyst Sam Stovall, who has been navigating stocks for decades, recently offered thoughts on how the rest of the year may play out. There have been plenty of reasons to worry that stocks could tumble in 2025 amid a weakening economy, including: Sticky inflationDeclining GDP growthGrowing unemploymentLackluster confidence Inflation is down substantially from its 8% plus peak in 2022, but progress lately has been limited. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index showed core inflation, excluding volatile energy and food prices, rose 2.7% in May. That was up from 2.6% in April and matched the rate from last September. Related: Morgan Stanley reboots stock market forecast after rally Many think the inflation picture will worsen in the coming months. Since February, President Trump has implemented 25% tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and autos, plus a 30% tariff on China and a 10% baseline tariff on all imports. Given that so much of what we buy, from clothing to electronics, is made overseas, many think businesses will pass along at least some of these higher costs to consumers this year. The prospect of higher prices isn't welcome news for already cash-strapped consumers and businesses, who may retrench spending, slowing our economy. There's already some evidence that economic activity is in trouble. First-quarter GDP declined 0.5%, and the World Bank estimates that full-year GDP in the U.S. will be just 1.4%, down from about 2.8% last year. The situation has led to an uptick in layoffs, which has increased the unemployment rate. Over 696,000 workers have been laid off through May, up 80% year over year, according to Challenger, Gray, & Christmas. The unemployment rate is 4.2%, up from its low of 3.4% in 2023. Risks that inflation reasserts itself and unemployment increases have taken a toll on consumer confidence. While confidence is better than in April, the Conference Board's Expectations Index is 69, handily lower than the 80 that often indicates a looming recession. Nevertheless, the stock market is forward looking, and since April, investors believe the worst of the risks are behind us and arguably got priced into stocks when they nose-dived this spring. Sam Stovall is a been-there-done-that Wall Street veteran analyst. He's built a long career analyzing the markets, including serving as managing director and chief investment strategist at S&P Global for over 27 years, before becoming chief investment strategist for CFRA, a major research firm. Related: Rare event could derail S&P 500 record-setting rally Stovall has a reputation for connecting the dots between the past and the present. He considered past sharp sell-offs and what happened after them and came away bullish. "The recent correction recovered all that was lost in only 80 calendar days, versus the traditional 236 days for all 25 corrections (declines of 10.5% to 19.9%) since WWII," said Stovall in a note to clients. "Investors shouldn't be too surprised by this speedy recovery, due to the swiftness of the initial selloff." The V-shaped recovery after the dramatic drop reflects a market that had become very oversold, very quickly. The baskets that have performed best since April's low have perhaps, unsurprisingly, been the groups that got hit the hardest. For example, the information technology sector, which comprises high flyers like Nvidia, is up 41% from the lows. The average return for the three worst-performing sectors - information technology, consumer discretionary, and communication services - is up 32%. More Wall Street Analysts: Analysts reboot Olive Garden parent's stock price targets as earnings loomAnalysts revamp forecast for Nvidia-backed AI stockIntuitive Surgical analyst raises eyebrows with new stock price target Those gains could continue, says Stovall, but he did offer a relatively tempered outlook for the third quarter. "The S&P 500 posted the weakest quarterly return, eking out only a 0.1% advance in Q3," said Stovall. "Five of its 11 sectors posted declines, led by communication services, consumer discretionary, energy, and materials." The third quarter's lackluster historical returns could mean it's a bit tougher sledding for stocks short term, but Stovall still thinks that stocks overall can deliver bigger returns through year's end. "Encouragingly, history indicates that quick drops to the -10% threshold typically result in a shorter and shallower total decline, followed by a more rapid recovery," said Stovall. "As a result, investors look forward to continued gains of between 6% and 10%, as was typically the case following declines of up to 20% since WWII, before slipping into a new decline of 5% or more; they just have to survive the traditionally challenging third quarter."

Social Security payment dates for July 2025: what you need to know
July offers a bit of good news for Social Security recipients - no holiday interruptions, no weekend reshuffling, just a straightforward schedule. But don't let the simplicity fool you - knowing exactly when your benefits arrive is still essential to your monthly financial plan. More than 70 million Americans depend on Social Security income. And for many, the timing of those payments can mean the difference between making rent or incurring a late fee. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter So whether you're a longtime beneficiary, a new retiree, or a caregiver helping someone manage their finances, here's your complete guide to July's payment calendar - and what you should do now to avoid disruption later. Image source: Photo by Sweet Life on Unsplash Here's the breakdown for July, based on your benefit type, your birthday, and when you started receiving benefits: Supplemental Security Income (SSI): Tuesday, July 1Recipients who began receiving benefits before May 1997: Thursday, July 3All others (post-May 1997), based on birthdate:Born 1st–10th: Wednesday, July 9Born 11th–20th: Wednesday, July 16Born 21st–31st: Wednesday, July 23 And if you're wondering, yes, this month is routine. No federal holidays or quirks in the calendar to delay your payment. The Social Security Administration (SSA) doesn't deposit payments to all beneficiaries on the same day - and for good reason. A single-day distribution of more than 70 million payments would overwhelm the nation's financial infrastructure. Related: How the IRS taxes Social Security income in retirement By staggering payment dates, the SSA ensures system stability and consistent, on-time delivery. This payment schedule also reflects a key historical change: beneficiaries who began receiving checks before May 1997 still receive their payments early in the month. Everyone else - those who started after that date - have payment dates tied to their birthday. This system spreads out payments evenly across the month's Wednesdays. To give some context: as of May 2025, the average monthly benefit for a retired worker was $2,002.39. For aged widow(er)s, it was $1,863.71, according to the SSA. While averages can mask individual variation, these figures underscore how critical timely payments are to household cash flow. Speaking of which, here's something that does not follow a routine schedule: the way benefits are delivered is changing. According to David Freitag, a Social Security expert with MassMutual, roughly 500,000 recipients still receive physical checks. But that's about to end. Starting September 30, 2025, all federal benefits will be delivered electronically - unless you qualify for a narrow set of exemptions. Related: Social Security income tax deduction clears critical hurdle "There are limited exceptions," said Freitag, "such as individuals over 80, people living in areas with no access to electronic banking, or those using PO boxes only. But the general advice is clear: switch now." Setting up electronic payments isn't complicated. Just visit and create or log into your My Social Security account. From there, you can enroll in direct deposit in just a few steps. Freitag's advice: Don't wait. If you still receive a paper check, make the switch before the September deadline. It's safer, faster, and more reliable." While July's payment schedule is straightforward, it's a great month to set better financial habits in motion: Set reminders for your payment dateDouble-check your bank account for timely depositsCreate a backup plan if funds arrive lateTrack monthly expenses to align with your benefit scheduleConfirm direct deposit is in place before September's deadline As Mike Piper, author of "Social Security Made Simple," reminds us: your benefit for any given month is paid the following month. So the July payment is actually your June benefit. That's another detail worth remembering when setting your monthly budget.
