I begged my adviser to sell amid the market turmoil. He dragged his feet and I lost $20,000. Do I have any recourse?

Cue the market downturn and I lost $20,000. I called again and begged him to get me out. He told me he would have my money out of the market by the end of the day — and it was. If he had moved my money out of the market weeks ago, much of my loss could have been prevented. I am frustrated and would like to be able to recoup some of my losses.

Finance Friday | Adding the costs of everyday convenience purchases

WESH 2's Jason Guy and Reshell Smith, the founder and CEO of AMES Financial Solutions, discuss the realism behind minimalism, along with potential underlying impacts of day-to-day spending
The article from WESH discusses the increasing costs associated with everyday convenience purchases, highlighting how fees and surcharges are becoming more common and burdensome for consumers. It points out that these additional costs, such as convenience fees for online transactions, service fees for food delivery, and surcharges for using credit cards, are often unavoidable and can significantly inflate the total amount spent. The article also notes that while these fees are justified by businesses as necessary to cover operational costs, they disproportionately affect lower-income individuals who rely on these services. Experts suggest that consumers should be more aware of these fees and consider alternatives like cash payments or picking up items in-store to mitigate the impact of these rising costs.
