📰 In the news
Florida cities report wider infestations: Spring Hill homeowners are seeing unseasonably early termite swarms as experts warn warmth and humidity are fueling them. Without proactive treatment or coverage, repairs can be costly — read the full story.
Behind this quirky clip: Earlier this month, Florida man Shasta Fisher’s TikTok of a “dancing mattress” wobbling along a roadway went viral, delighting viewers statewide and giving Spring Hill neighbors a quick laugh — see how it was found.
School leadership transition underway: Deltona Elementary School Principal Julie Sweeney has resigned to spend more time with family. Toni Ann Noyes is serving as interim principal while the district interviews candidates — get details on interim leadership.
Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.*
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 →
The $1,300 mistake most Americans make every year: According to the National Financial Education Council, poor financial literacy costs the average American over a thousand dollars annually. That’s not investment losses. That’s money lost to bad decisions, missed strategies, and advice from people who may not always put your interests first. There’s a free way to fix that, and it starts with one question. Find out what it is →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared five programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
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 →
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 →
