While the stock market soars, money market funds aren't very interesting. But as markets turn south, you might revisit the benefits of these assets.
But don't confuse a money market account with a money market mutual fund. A money market account is typically offered through a bank, and it's a type of savings account. The interest rate is slightly higher than that of a typical savings account, too. The principal amount of the money market account is guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, unlike that of a money market mutual fund.

Study: Township elimination would save residents money | Northwest Herald
A cost-benefit analysis commissioned by the McHenry Township board and completed by Urban Analytics of Alexandria, Virginia, sought to identify the advantages and drawbacks – both financial and not – of dissolving McHenry Township.
Township elimination, some township trustees argue, will save taxpayers money. Some residents question whether property tax bills actually would decrease if the elimination were to move forward.
In the cost-benefit study of McHenry Township services, Dr. Dean Bellas, president of Urban Analytics, a real estate and urban planning consulting firm, aimed to answer this question: "What am I receiving in services for the taxes that I am paying to my local government?"

When it comes to managing their money, women across the U.S. have a lot in common, according to the U.S. Bank Women and Wealth Insights Study:

Bloomberg’s Money Bought Him Something — Just Not The Nomination | FiveThirtyEight
Bloomberg was like a daredevil stuffed into a cannon at a circus sideshow. He went up, he got attention, he crashed back down. But in his ignominious arc we can see the contrail of a bigger question plaguing modern politics: Just how powerful is money, exactly, in determining the outcomes of elections?
Let's be clear, Bloomberg's cash did have some effect. After entering the race with minimal support in November, he was as high as 16.5 percent in our national polling average by Feb. 22 — enough, at the time, to tie former Vice President Joe Biden for second place. Sens. Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand and other candidates didn't come close to those kind of numbers. But Bloomberg's growth in the polls didn't translate into votes when it counted.

How Should Jeff Bezos Spend His Climate Money? | Greentech Media
The richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, says he is going to channel $10 billion of his own dollars into climate solutions. Is this the biggest act of climate philanthropy ever?

And there's a new pot of money from ARPA-E to scale up existing technologies. It’s paltry compared to the money people like Bill Gates and Bezos are throwing into the space. What role is the government playing to scale climate tech?
OITNB star Danielle Brooks on her biggest money mistake
Holding her almost four-month-old daughter, Freeya, in her lap, actress Danielle Brooks recounts some of the biggest lessons she's learned about money over the years.
Brooks rose to stardom playing fan favorite Taystee on the Netflix hit series "Orange is the New Black," often shortened to "OITNB." Since, she's had roles in "Master of None" and was nominated for a Tony award for her portrayal of Sofia in "The Color Purple." It's an envy-worthy career, though Brooks does have one regret, she says: Not advocating for herself and owning her worth in the final seasons of "OITNB."
