  • What's up with the skyrocketing cost of used cars?

    According to Edmonds.com, the average used vehicle in the United States costs nearly $30,000. In some cases, that’s more than new cars. We look at what’s driving up the prices, when they may come back down, and what potential buyers can do in the meantime.

  • How are small businesses doing at this stage of the pandemic?

    The new omicron variant has led to a spike in cases in Wisconsin and across the country, pushing many to stay home like they did earlier in the pandemic. We talk about how this new stage of the pandemic is affecting small businesses here in Wisconsin and nationwide.
