| Let's try this again (and we apologize for the double dose of the Daily Money you got today thanks to a technical glitch). |
| Hi, Daily Money friends. Happy Thursday. Not gonna lie: it's been kind of a rough week: we missed out on the Reese's pie and we're losing Nathan, who played a major role in shaping this newsletter and USA TODAY's cars coverage. |
| My name is Jayme Deerwester and I'm an editor here in the Money, Tech and Travel section here at USA TODAY. I'll be taking over the newsletter – and because I'm probably the biggest petrolhead in the department after Nathan (seriously, people, my car's license plate frame bears a James May quote), the cars beat as well. |
| 💰 The Daily Money is USA TODAY's Monday-through-Friday-morning roundup of all things personal finance, business and tech. If this email was forwarded to you or if you found it online, you can subscribe for free here! |
| On to our ... |
| 💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: The childless among us may do a double take at the gas station or grocery store checkout but if you want to know the true pain of inflation , ask your friends with kids in daycare. Costs for child care have gone up over 100% in Georgia, Louisiana, Florida and Ohio during the COVID-19 pandemic and they're up in pretty much every state. In fact, a year of daycare in about 40 states now costs more than a year of my in-state college tuition back in the 1990s. Ouch. USA TODAY's Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy looks into how we ended up here and how parents are struggling to cope. |
| 📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss: |
| 1. Going to Starbucks today? You'll get a free, reusable cup along with your holiday beverage. |
| 2. Speaking of freebies: McDonald's has a 63-cent Egg McMuffin deal going today if you order through their app. |
| 3. Papa Johns rebrands – minus the apostrophe. See how the Louisville-based pizza chain is moving on from founder John Schnatter. |
| 4. Doing holiday shopping this week? Learn how to protect your privacy on Amazon. |
| 5. Which states is inflation hitting the hardest? Midwesterners face some of the country's highest prices for gas, electricity, food and used cars. |
| 👋 Thanks for reading! And since Nathan signed off yesterday with a Crowded House lyric ("Don't dream it's over"), I'll keep it going (longtime Neil Finn fan here): "You can fight the sleep. But not the dream." |
