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.
