Americans in the market for a used vehicle can cut their risk of having trouble down the road by considering some brands over others, with Lexus and #Toyota topping a newly published list by Consumer Reports. The nonprofit research and advocacy group's first-ever ranking of 26 brands has Lexus and Toyota holding a commanding advantage over third-placed Mazda. All three brands have held consistent average or better reliability ratings over the years, Consumer Reports noted. "Brands like Lexus and Toyota have a history of conservative redesigns, incrementally improving their entire product line, rather than introducing many all-new systems," said Steven Elek, senior automotive data analyst at Consumer Reports. "Our data consistently shows over time that cars from those brands are reliable when new and they continue to be reliable as they age." Acura and Honda round up the top five brands, while Tesla, #Dodge and #Chrysler placed 24th, 25th and 26th in the ranking, respectively.

A growing number of Americans face energy poverty, struggling to afford to heat or cool their home. Energy poverty can increase one's exposure to extreme heat or cold, which raises the risk of developing respiratory issues, heart problems, allergies, kidney disorders, and other health conditions. And the burden falls disproportionately on households in communities of color, which experience it at a rate 60% greater than those in white communities. Public health and environmental experts say that as climate change continues to create extreme weather conditions, more policy efforts are needed to help vulnerable communities, especially during heat waves.

The cost of living is much higher than just a few years ago — and so is the amount of money that Americans say is required to be considered wealthy. Americans believe it now takes an average net worth of $2.5 million to be counted as rich, a 14% increase from last year's $2.2 million, according to a new survey from Charles Schwab. The survey's results reflect the typical American's feelings about their wealth goals, and hint as well at the impact inflation has had on their views about money, said Rob Williams, managing director of financial planning at Charles Schwab. "Wealth can be very personal and aspirational, and also, they haven't done extensive calculations; it's more how they feel — and that's meaningful," Williams told CBS MoneyWatch.

There's some bad news ahead for the nation's car owners, with a new Insurify report forecasting that auto insurance — one of the biggest drivers of inflation this year — will continue to rise in 2024. In fact, residents of three states could see their coverage rates spike by 50% in 2024. The typical U.S. insurance policy will jump 22% this year to an average annual premium of $2,469 by year-end, the report found. That comes after drivers saw their policies jump 24% in 2023. "Increasingly severe and frequent weather events are driving up auto insurance premiums," Insurify said in its report. "Hail-related auto claims represented 11.8% of all comprehensive claims in 2023, up from 9% in 2020, according to CCC Intelligent Solutions."
