  • Here's your money briefing for Wednesday, April 23rd.

  • I'm Mariana Aspuru for The Wall Street Journal.

  • But in a time of economic uncertainty,

  • not eating out as much anymore, or even when you're grocery shopping,

  • cutting back on little treats like a pint of ice cream and things like that.

  • Just anything where they can cut back in a way that feels okay.

  • You know, it's not a big sacrifice, but definitely helps their wallet.

  • My colleague Anne-Marie Alcántara wrote about where else young women are cutting costs.

  • We'll be back after the break.

  • If only life had a remote control, you could pause or rewind.

  • Take the one-minute risk test today at doihaveprediabetes.org.

  • Brought to you by the Ad Council and its prediabetes awareness partners.
