WHICH HEADLINE IS TRUE?
January 23, 2026​

---

Can you spot the real headline? Only one of these is true:

A. "Study Reveals 80% of Americans Have Less Than $500 Saved for Emergencies"
B. "World Bank: Global Preparedness for Economic Crises At All-Time Low"
C. "Millennials Now Make Up Majority of U.S. Millionaires, Thanks to Preparedness"​

Community Challenge:

- Share your reasoning - why do you think it's true?
- Did any of the false headlines trick you? Why did they seem plausible?

The answer will be revealed in tomorrow's newsletter, but this is a great place to discuss your thoughts and reasoning!
