Good Morning, 
 
DID YOU KNOW?  As you may have seen on my Insta, Steve and I just visited Japan. There are 29 cities in the world with a population of more than 10 million (including their metropolitan area), and that’s expected to grow to 43 by 2030. As you may have seen on my Social Media, Steve and I went to Japan. Tokyo has the largest population in the world at 37.4 Million residents…. WOW
 
DID YOU KNOW? Walmart is launching a new service that will deliver groceries - and put them away in your fridge - starting in Kansas City, Pittsburgh, and Vero Beach today. In-Home grocery delivery is a membership program that is being rolled out at an introductory price of $19.95 a month. Shoppers must purchase a $49.95 smart door lock kit or smart garage door kit, which comes with free installation and one month of free unlimited grocery delivery. (CNBC)
 
DID YOU KNOW? As of June 2019, New York City, home to 65 billionaires and over 380,000 millionaires, was the world’s wealthiest city with a total wealth of $3 trillion, far ahead of Tokyo’s $2.5 trillion and San Francisco and London, which tied for 3rd place on the list, with $2.4 trillion each. A city’s total wealth refers to private wealth - including property, cash, equities, and business interests - held by all the individuals living there. Three other U.S. cities also made it to the top 20: Los Angeles ($1.4 trillion), Chicago ($980 billion), and Houston ($880 billion).

DID YOU KNOW? Interest rates may be super-low, but because of generous bank rewards programs, banks are charging cardholders more to borrow. The average annual percentage rate, or APR, on interest-charging credit cards, is about 17%.... (WSJ)
