Good morning! It's Medora Lee with your Daily Money.

Guilt is a powerful emotion, and now, it's getting us to tip more than we want.

Americans spend nearly $500 a year tipping more than they’d like to, according to Talker Research, a research and polling agency that recently conducted a survey of 2,000 Americans about tipping. The poll found the average respondent reluctantly tips $37.80 a month. “That figure equates to $453.60 a year in guilt-induced gratuity, with over a quarter (26%) feeling they are always or often forced to tip more than they would like,” Talker Research said in a post about the findings.

And it turns out the younger you are, the guiltier you feel. Gen Z and millennials “were almost twice as likely to say they 'always' feel pressure to tip than older generations,” the study said. 

Not ready for 'Peak 65'? Here's a tip

Are you part of "Peak 65," or thelargest surge of retiring Americans in recent history? More than 4.1 million people are turning 65 each year through 2027. That's more than 11,200 people every single day.

But how many are financially ready for the retirement milestone? Studies show not many. So what should you do?

If you're still healthy and aren't miserable working, consider working longer, some advisers say. You can sock away more money, delay taking Social Security and end up with a larger check later yet still have many years to kick back since people are living longer.

Have you checked your Internet bill lately?

If you’ve had the same Wi-Fi plan for years, it’s normal that your monthly Internet bill might increase over time. But if you haven't kept an eye on it, you might be surprised at how big it's gotten, especially since many companies encourage you to put it on autopay.

If you find you're in this situation, here are ways you can lower that bill.
