The Daily Money 9-11

Portrait of Josh Rivera Josh Rivera

Good morning, Daily Money readers! It's Josh Rivera one last time this week, with the top headlines from USA TODAY's Money & Tech team.

It is 19 years since the terror attacks of 9/11. We remember the victims, and we hope you take a moment today to commemorate the lives we lost and those who helped rebuild New York City.

When it comes to claiming Social Security there are two things we learned this week: You can work part- or full-time while collecting Social Security, but your benefits will be recalculated if you earn more than $18,240 a year, and if you claim benefits early you'll be met with an early filing penalty reducing your potential check – which isn't recalculated when you reach your full retirement age to eliminate it. Consider your options before claiming.

Hey, here's an interesting quote: “You can maintain a business remotely, but it’s hard to move the business forward and allow it to grow unless you have the ability for your people to collaborate on new ideas,” said Jim Bieri, who specializes in commercial real estate, to our partners at the Detroit Free Press when talking about remote work.

Finally, moving on to stories I consider a personal attack, '90s cars are considered collectibles. (Yesterday, I saw an influencer was born on 1998 and I thought he was 2 years old, but indeed he is 22.) The point is, that the '90s were not 10 years ago and millennials, with that kind of purchasing power, are doing nostalgia-fueled purchases of Mazda Miatas and Toyota Supras.

Nathan Bomey says that in many states, cars from the ‘90s can now get collector car license plates. Tomfoolery if ask me.

Segues were rough today, but next week, the great Brett Molina will be back with you so make you sure to email back welcoming him!
