Getting Rid of Your 23andMe Data
For those of you who want to take control of your genetic information, deleting your 23andMe account is a straightforward process. Just head over to Settings, scroll down until you hit the 23andMe Data section, and click on View or Access your Data. It’s really that simple! Once you’ve completed the steps, your identifying info will be gone, but keep in mind that some of your genetic data may still be retained in a raw and anonymized format. This means you can still be part of future genetic studies without your personal identifiers attached. It’s a balance between privacy and contribution to science that 23andMe has managed to create.
The Scoop on Fed Policy and What it Means for Your Wallet
Switching gears a bit, let’s talk monetary policy. Neel Kashkari, the President of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank, recently described the current stance of U.S. monetary policy as ‘modestly restrictive.’ What does this mean for you? In essence, while borrowing costs for short-term loans are keeping inflation in check, the impact on the economy isn’t overwhelmingly strong. If you’re watching market trends, this ‘modest’ status indicates that we’re not in a radically changing environment. Investors hoping for stronger growth may need to buckle up a bit longer as the Fed continues to navigate these waters. Notably, the market has seen some bearish trends in commodities like gold and silver, suggesting a cautious approach is warranted during this time.
