| Happy Thursday, Daily Money readers. Jayme Deerwester, here with you. Last night, I went to watch the chiropractor work on the horse and actually felt a little jealous. Hey, I need adjustments, too. |
🗞 News you should know 🗞 |
| Another week, another batch of car recalls. |
| U.S. auto safety regulators are investigating complaints that the automatic emergency braking systems on more than 1.7 million newer Hondas can stop the vehicles for no reason. |
| The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has 278 complaints that the problem can happen in 2017 through 2019 CR-V SUVs and 2018 and 2019 Accord sedans. The agency announced the probe in documents posted Thursday on its website. In some cases the owners complained of unexpected speed reductions that could cause increased vulnerability to rear collisions. Agency documents say the inadvertent braking can occur without warning and randomly. |
| The Honda news comes just days after Ford recalled more than 330,000 Mustangs built between 2015 and 2017 due to a wiring issue that can cause the backup camera to appear distorted or lose signal altogether. |

💡 Daily insight 💡 |
| While some are excited about the chance for renewed social interactions and mentorship, others are grappling with feelings of anxiety, depression, and even a fear of reentering the workplace, say experts. |
| The pandemic has fundamentally changed the way most people approach work and think about work, according to Adam Galinsky, professor of Leadership and Ethics at the Columbia Business School, who calls it the "new hybrid reality." |
| People have discovered two benefits of being remote, namely, eliminating the psychological and financial costs of commuting and realizing that they can be more productive, he says. |
| Not having a vaccine mandate is also causing anxiety among workers, says Harris Stratyner, a psychologist who practices in New York City. |
| "They hear that there are a lot of people refusing to get the vaccines, or the booster, and they worry about being exposed to something," he says. |
| Beyond that, people are worried about reorienting themselves to the work environment, he says. |
| "We are social creatures and now we've been isolating and there's so much uncertainty," he says. "There are people wondering 'Am I gonna be sleepy at work? Am I gonna be overstimulated? We have to be on our best behavior, and we can't be grumpy and we can't take a break when we want to take a break." |
💵 Tax hacks 💵 |
| Getting a large tax refund may seem like a windfall but in reality, it means you gave the IRS an interest-free free loan last year. So if you learn a large refund is coming your way, don't make it rain. Instead, take it as a sign you may need to make adjustments to your withholding information on your W-4 to have less tax taken out of your wages going forward. |
🎶 Mood music 🎶 |
| I can think of no better song about dealing with a commute than the Bangles classic "Manic Monday," authored by Prince: "I can't be late, 'cause then I guess I just won't get paid. These are the days when you wish your bed was already made." (Bonus: Hear Prince's version or Green Day's.) |
| LISTEN WHILE YOU WORK: Remember, you can listen to this song and every track I've quoted in the newsletter in the Daily Money Mood Music playlist on Spotify. |
