Good morning! It’s Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.
When it comes to retirement savings, expectations differ across generations.

But one thing every generation has in common? Retirement savings stress. USA TODAY spoke to nine savers ages 19 to 65 to get a sense of retirement strategies across generations. Here are their stories.
What to do if the bank wants your CD back

Isn't Las Vegas too hot for sports?
Las Vegas is leaning into sports.
There’s a shiny new NFL stadium, which in February hosted the Super Bowl. There are annual Formula 1 races across the Strip, UFC fights in the Las Vegas Sphere, and arenas hosting NHL and WNBA teams.
All told, Las Vegas has added three major league sports teams in the past decade, two of which are recent champions, Bailey Schulz reports. And with the Tropicana implosion planned for early Wednesday, the city plans to add Major League Baseball to the mix with a new ballpark for the Athletics, formerly of Oakland, California.
It’s all part of an effort to reshape Las Vegas into the “sports capital of the world.”
