Chevron CEO On Hess Deal Says Will See Some Job Reductions Because Of Overlap Between Two Companies

Financial personality Ramit Sethi is baffled when people say that they are "just not good with money." It's fine to admit if you aren't good at something, but viewing your current state as a condition rather than something you can fix puts you out of the driver's seat.
Sethi encourages people to <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@ramit.sethi/video/7523629804537548063?lang=en">correct their money habits</a> instead of saying that they're just not good with money and calling it a day.
"It's a skill like anything else," Sethi explains.
By comparing money to any skill in life, Sethi offers a playbook for getting your finances right.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">You Can Learn How To Be Good At Money</h2>
Everyone has become good at things that they previously weren't good at. Some people become fast runners after many years of practice, or feel confident speaking on stage after creating many videos.&nbsp;
However, you don't have to do something spectacular to know how to develop skills. Sethi brings up a very basic skill – walking – as his example. None of us knew how to walk when we were born, but most people can now walk fine. Some people can walk longer distances than others, but we all learn that skill from nothing.
It takes consistent practice to learn how to walk. However, you have to know what makes for good practice. While the practice for walking is straightforward – put one foot in front of the other – practicing money is different.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How To Practice Getting Good At Money</h2>
We all have an idea of what it looks like to master your money. Your income exceeds your expenses, and you can make regular investments in your portfolio. You have enough money to spend on some things that give you pleasure, such as travel, but you're not going deep into credit card debt.&nbsp;
You don't have to master every money habit on day one. It can start with monitoring your spending so you aren't buying anything impulsively. You can set up automatic investments in an ETF instead of trying to figure out how the stock market works. Your next step can involve creating a budget so you know your monthly income and expenses.
Once you do the small steps and practice them consistently, you'll put yourself in a better position to make big money moves that lead to a better future.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Commit To The Long-Term Journey</h2>
Mastering your money will take time. You won't have a seven-figure portfolio and a six-figure income overnight. It will likely take many years to reach those goals, especially if you are starting off with debt.
If you want to master any skill in a meaningful way, you must commit to it for multiple years. It may be frustrating in the beginning as you make mistakes and feel overwhelmed as you consume new information. However, it gets easier over time.
When you're on the journey of getting your finances under control, think about your main motivation. Are you a parent who wants to set your children up with a bright future? Do you want to be the main provider for your family so your spouse doesn't have to work full-time? Do you want more freedom and the ability to start a business that gives you full control over your schedule?
Tying a strong motivation to making money can help you persevere when it gets difficult and commit to mastering your finances.

Ramit Sethi Explains That People Who Are Bad With Money Don't Have To Stay That Way: 'It's A Skill Like Anything Else'

China's high-speed rail progress will take center stage at the US-China Rail Transit Industry Roundtable in Beijing, where U.S. firms like Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WAB#NYSE">WAB</a>), Caterpillar (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CAT#NYSE">CAT</a>), Cummins (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMI#NYSE">CMI</a>), L B Foster Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSTR#NASDAQ">FSTR</a>) and 3M Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MMM#NYSE">MMM</a>) will participate.
What Happened: China&#8217;s high-speed rail development has been progressing at an impressive pace, surpassing the United States. The US-China Rail Transit Industry Roundtable is expected to address this issue, with a focus on the challenges faced by American projects due to funding shortages and political pressures, <a href="https://www.scmp.com/economy/global-economy/article/3318627/chinas-speedy-maglev-train-breaks-records-us-ambitions-go-rails?module=top_story&amp;pgtype=homepage">reported </a>by South China Morning Post. 
Industry representatives from both countries will also explore the potential for supply-chain collaboration in the railway sector. The event is organized by&nbsp;the China Council for the&nbsp;Promotion of International Trade.
Wang Yiwei, head of Renmin University&#8216;s Institute of International Affairs in Beijing, attributed the slow progress of high-speed rail in the United States to political and financial constraints. He highlighted President Donald Trump&#8216;s opposition to California&#8217;s high-speed rail project as an example of these challenges.
Wang pointed out that China's success in high-speed rail stems from long-term government planning, strategic investment, and centralized oversight. 
&#8220;Even if high-speed rail projects are not profitable in the short term, China can still build them for strategic reasons,&#8221; stated Wang.

Why It Matters: The U.S.-China Rail Transit Industry Roundtable comes at a time when the U.S. is facing challenges in its high-speed rail projects. In a recent development, the Trump administration decided to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46461319/trump-cancels-4-billion-funding-for-california-high-speed-rail-project-calls-it-disastrously-overpriced">withdraw $4 billion</a> in federal funding from California&#8217;s high-speed rail project, citing excessive costs and unmet promises. This move has further highlighted the difficulties faced by the US in competing with China&#8217;s high-speed rail advancements.
That being said, the US Department of Transportation had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45744869/us-dot-allocates-5-4-billion-for-bridge-infrastructure-fund-scraps-diversity-climate-criteria-for-applicants-report">allocated $5.4 billion</a> for the construction, replacement, or repair of bridges across the U.S. However, the department decided to remove climate change, environmental justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements from the grant application criteria.
These developments raise questions about America&#8217;s ability to keep up with China&#8217;s high-speed rail advancements and the potential impact on the country&#8217;s infrastructure and transportation sectors.

Top 2 Energy Stocks That May Fall Off A Cliff This Quarter

U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USB#NYSE">USB</a>) posted upbeat earnings for the second quarter but fell short of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/USB/earnings">revenue expectations</a>.
The company reported second-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.11, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $1.07.
Quarterly sales of $7.004 billion (+2% year over year) missed the Street view of $7.052 billion. On a GAAP basis, U.S. Bancorp registered revenues of $6.975 billion, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $7.052 billion.
"Year-over-year top-line revenue growth, coupled with our continued expense discipline, resulted in 250 basis points of positive operating leverage, as adjusted, and an efficiency ratio of 59.2% for the quarter," said the company's CEO Gunjan Kedia.
U.S. Bancorp anticipates its full-year 2025 taxable-equivalent revenue will increase by 3%–5% compared to 2024. For the third quarter, the company expects net interest income to be between $4.1 billion and $4.2 billion.
U.S. Bancorp shares fell 1% to close at $45.21 on Thursday.
These analysts made changes to their price targets on U.S. Bancorp following earnings announcement.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Morgan Stanley analyst Betsy Graseck maintained U.S. Bancorp with an Overweight rating and raised the price target from $51 to $52.</li>

After being bearish for most of the year and making an 11-week-long record bearish streak, the bullish sentiment, measured by the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) Sentiment Survey, made its first three-week-long streak for the week ended July 16 in 2025.
What Happened: Despite the new bullish streak, pessimism among individual investors about the short-term outlook increased this week.
This comes as the bearish sentiment rose from 35.6% last week to 39% this week. The AAII Sentiment Survey is conducted weekly from Thursday to Wednesday.
Regardless of the uptick in the bearish sentiment this week, the bullish sentiment has triumphed over the bearish sentiment for three weeks in a row, as pointed out by AAII VP Charles Rotblut in an X post.
The optimism first surpassed pessimism during the week ended July 2 and continued to be higher till the most recent week.

However, MTS Insights pointed out in an X post that this close push and pull between the optimistic and pessimistic sentiments rendered the market sentiment largely &#8220;neutral&#8221; for the year.

Thumzup Media Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TZUP#NASDAQ">TZUP</a>), a digital adtech company backed by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/crypto/cryptocurrency/25/06/45966444/donald-trump-jr-says-his-father-doesnt-touch-the-family-backed-crypto-company-despite-disclosure-of-57-million-income">Donald Trump Jr.</a>, has received board approval to allocate up to $250 million into cryptocurrencies.
What Happened: The board authorization allows Thumzup to hold a diversified portfolio including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), Ripple (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Litecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ltc/usd">LTC</a>), and USDC (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">USDC</a>).
The <a href="https://thumzupmedia.com/investor-relations/investor-news/news-details/2025/Thumzup-Media-Corporations-Board-of-Directors-Authorizes-Company-to-Hold-up-to-250-Million-in-Cryptocurrencies/default.aspx">announcement</a> reflects a growing trend of Trump-aligned businesses embracing digital assets as part of broader treasury strategies.
Thumzup CEO Robert Steele said the decision comes amid a shift in the U.S. regulatory landscape.
"As the U.S. federal government moves toward more crypto-friendly policies and greater regulatory clarity, Thumzup is committed to remaining at the forefront of this transformative technology," Steele said.

Why It Matters: Thumzup's decision echoes a pattern seen across several Trump-affiliated ventures.
Trump Media &amp; Technology Group (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TMTG#NASDAQ">TMTG</a>), the parent of Truth Social, holds a material stake in Trump-themed tokens and has promoted crypto-friendly payment processors on its platform.
In 2024, campaign finance filings revealed Donald Trump&#8216;s own crypto holdings, which included ETH and various Trump-themed meme coins received from supporters. 
Trump also declared support for Bitcoin mining and stablecoin innovation during campaign events earlier this year.
Thumzup&#8217;s portfolio allocation expands beyond Bitcoin to include XRP and DOGE, both of which have strong retail investor bases and growing adoption in payments and remittances. 
The decision to include USDC indicates a hedge toward on-chain dollar exposure amid crypto market volatility.
The board&#8217;s approval makes Thumzup one of the few publicly traded companies to formally adopt a multi-asset crypto treasury strategy that includes meme coins, stablecoins, and Layer-1 tokens. 
The firm says it aims to "create significant value for TZUP shareholders" through strategic exposure to the evolving crypto market.
