Good morning, it's Nathan joining you once again!

📖I don't know about you, but I grew up watching "Reading Rainbow." So it's pretty cool to see LeVar Burton hosting "Jeopardy!" this week.

On to our ... 

💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: During the pandemic, nearly 3 in 4 people have decluttered their closets, while nearly 1 in 3 have dropped friends on social media, according to the Wells Fargo Active Cash Card survey of credit-card holders. The survey conductors called these actions "pandemic purges."

📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss:

1. Which generation has been hardest hit in the job market by COVID? This survey suggests it's Generation X.

2. Don't let those PTO days go to waste: COVID has a lot of workers ready to take a vacation.

3. Has the pandemic changed how you tip? Maybe it should.

4. Should you claim your child tax credits in advance? It could cause you to owe on your taxes if you're not careful.

5. Goodbye, Alexa. Amazon is now allowing you to wake up your voice assistant with a different name: Ziggy.

All the actual Alexas out there are breathing a sigh of relief.
