Good morning and Happy Valentine's Day! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.
Older adults should expect a much smaller cost-of-living bump in their Social Security checks next year, as inflation continues to slow, Medora Lee reports.
Based on January's consumer price index (CPI) report, the cost-of-living-adjustment (COLA) in 2025 is forecast at 1.75%. That increase would be lower than this year's 3.2% adjustment and 2023's 8.7%, which was the largest jump in 40 years. Read the story.
Yes, inflation numbers came out yesterday (story here), but let's move on to our Valentine's Day coverage.

The internet percolates with articles advising romantic partners on how they should bank their money. Some writers favor separate accounts. Others encourage commingled funds.
We asked several experts about the best approach to financial bliss. When pushed to name a preference, they did. Read the story.
