Good morning, Daily Money readers! We made it to Friday once again. 🙌 It's Josh Rivera here with the top money headlines.

Let's start by going over how you and your spouse could make $226,566 in free retirement money. By claiming the Saver's Credit – designed to help lower- and middle-income Americans save – a tax credit would be applied to an eligible retirement account equaling either 10%, 20%, or 50% of the amount you contributed, up to a maximum eligible contribution of $2,000 for single filers or $4,000 for married joint filers. Christy Bieber has the details here.
