SUMMARY: Experts warn that using “Buy Now, Pay Later” options during holiday shopping could lead to missed payments and bad credit. This payment method, often used by younger generations like Gen Z, breaks up payments into smaller amounts, but can accumulate unnoticed debt, affecting monthly budgets. Studies show that Gen Z’s credit card debt is increasing, and small payments can quickly add up to a significant amount. Experts suggest assessing needs vs. wants and saving for larger purchases to avoid financial strain in the future, especially when considering long-term goals like homeownership or retirement. Have you ever considered using “Buy Now, Pay Later” when shopping?

SUMMARY: Starting today, a Real ID is required to fly domestically or enter federal buildings, a security measure enforced after 15 years. At the Mount Pleasant DMV, reactions are mixed. Some got their Real IDs years ago, others are only now applying amid long lines and multiple visits. Some people support the safety benefits of the new requirement, while others find the extra step frustrating. TSA officials clarified this day marks the start of enforcement, not a hard deadline, allowing travelers to use other IDs like passports. Those not traveling soon can still obtain their Real ID later.

Starting Wednesday, a REAL ID will be required to fly domestically or enter federal buildings. It’s a security measure that officials have tried to enforce in the past, but has been delayed for years.
