Here's your Money Briefing for Tuesday, May 20th.
I'm Derek Dennis for The Wall Street Journal.
If you're anything like me, money is tight and summer vacation plans are up in the air.
Taking a big, expensive, faraway trip just isn't in the budget.
A lot of people are still planning on taking some kind of trip,
but like a car trip or a trip to a national park that's free and they'll be hiking,
which you don't necessarily pay much to do.
We talked to Wall Street Journal reporter Rachel Ensign about the changes some families are making to keep their finances in check.
That's after the break.
Talking about guns with others might not always feel comfortable, but it could save a life.
Here's a way to start a conversation.
Your family is going over to your neighbor's home for dinner for the first time.
How would you ask if there are any unlocked guns in the home?
Hey!
Hey, we're so excited for tonight.
Before we come over, though, may I ask if there are any unlocked guns in your home?
Our guns are stored securely, locked in a safe that the kids can't access.
Awesome.
