It’s Friday, St. George! Let’s finish this week strong.
In today’s can’t-miss-weekend-plans edition: AI trip planner for Zion, Dustin Lynch, and RECA downwinder benefits + a stacked lineup of events this weekend.
Heads up for pet parents: An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.*

📰 In the news
Latest rental market snapshot: St. George renters are feeling the pinch. January apartment listings were up about 3% from last January, new Zumper data shows, with one-bedroom units seeing the biggest increase — see the full rent breakdown.
Iconic outdoor playgrounds revealed: Greater Zion launched a SKYNAV immersive, AI-powered trip experience in February, with cinematic aerial and ground views of Zion, state parks, and 14 golf courses to personalize planning — get all the details.
RECA reauthorized, changes explained: Expanded downwinder benefits are in effect statewide, raising lump-sum payments up to $100,000. Residents who lived in Utah between 1951 and 1962 may qualify. Outreach is underway in St. George — see eligibility and payment updates.
Gold just hit record highs. What about your savings? While traditional IRAs have been treading water against inflation, gold has gained over 50% in three years. That gap is why more retirees are rolling a portion of their savings into gold IRAs (the kind that hold physical metal). We compared the top five options and broke down who they’re best for — check it out here.
Paying hundreds of dollars a month for car insurance? Switching providers could save you up to $600 a year, and shopping around is way faster than it used to be – free comparison tools like this one make it easy.*

🫶 We got your back
In case you missed it: The CVS Epic Beauty Sale was officially extended through March 28th, giving you another chance to stack rewards on top of already-great deals across all sorts of treat-yourself products, including makeup, beauty tools, skin care, hair masks, moisturizers, and more from all your favorite brands. *Shop the sale →
Strangers can buy your personal data for $0.50: Data brokers sell your name, home address, phone number, estimated income, and other personal info to anyone willing to pay. Scammers and identity thieves use these databases to take advantage of you. There are dozens of affordable services that can help you protect yourself. These three are our favorites →
Your homeowners insurance has a blind spot: It covers your house if a tree falls on it. It doesn’t cover your furnace when it quits in January, your AC when it dies in July, or your water heater when it starts leaking on a Tuesday. Those are all classified as “normal wear and tear,” and they’re 100% on you. We looked into solutions that fill that gap. Here’s what we found →
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and five stood out. See which ones →
Own a piece of Apple for less than a coffee: Every time you buy something from Amazon or Starbucks, you’re putting money in their pocket. Fractional shares flip that: you can own a slice of those companies for as little as a dollar. Most investing apps make it incredibly easy, with zero commissions and no account minimums. See which ones we recommend →
