Remember the good ol' days with simple phones? Just call, text, an alarm... with battery life lasting days, not hours. Well, more people are looking to get their hands on these "dumbphones" again - a loving term for non-smartphones we used to sport back in the 90s and 2000s. 

Audrey, Ryan and Emaad talk about the phenomenon, the people embracing this comeback, and why it may be something you should consider.

Mind Your Business: 30 million green jobs by 2030, how is Singapore grooming future eco-leaders?

Generation X is entering the home stretch towards retirement, with just six months left before the first Gen Xers turn 60 - but 3 in 10 are worried that they’ll never retire.  

That’s according to recent surveys by Natixis Investment Managers which have found that almost half of Gen X (48%) say it’s going to take a miracle to retire securely. To get there, they are saving an average of 17% from their annual income but half of them say they are burying their heads in the sand and avoid thinking about retirement altogether.

Two critical issues seem to be shaping Generation X’s thinking about retirement - inflation and debt. In the short term, they are coming to grips with the reality of inflation. Overall, 83% of Generation X investors say the recent bout of inflation has revealed just how big a threat rising prices are to their retirement security. Nearly seven out of ten (69%) say inflation has hurt their ability to save for retirement and more than half (55%) report that they are saving less due to higher everyday costs.

On this episode of Morning Shot, Dave Goodsell, Executive Director at the Natixis Centre for Investor Insight shares more.
