Summary

2020 will bring deals on breakfast. More people eat breakfast away from home. McDonalds and Starbucks account for almost half of breakfast buys, and other fast food chains want a piece of that market. Wendy's is giving breakfast another go. In the new year, there will be more competition for your breakfast dollar, expect discounts galore through 2020. Pay attention to discounts from your favorite restaurants through their apps.  AARP reports on financial exploitation of the elderly. Research put the average take at $120K over time. Bank account rip offs average just under $50K. One third of the victims are 80 and older. Often it's a family member / caregiver taking advantage of an aging relative. The holidays bring families together. Adult children need to know what's happening with their aging relatives. Scattered families facilitate this crime, so take time to understand what's going on. You don't want to regret not protecting your loved one. Please remember to be nosy and ask questions. In massive numbers, people are cutting the cord - canning pay TV from the cable, phone or satellite companies for streaming. Streaming offerings and charges are changing all the time. In 2019, many streaming offerings have been free. But for many, getting local channels has been a roadblock to cord cutting. Locast.org now covers more than half the population of the U.S. This non-profit provides streaming for local channels. If you can't put an antenna up or get a good signal, you're able to get local channels streamed via Locast. The traditional pay TV bundle will soon be so last century as it becomes more efficient and cheaper to stream TV.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
