| It's Thursday, the first day of September. And not to be a downer, but 2023 is in four months. It's Brett Molina ready with your Daily Money headlines for "Friday Eve." |
| Labor Day weekend is close, which means many Americans will hit the road for that last taste of summer before fully immersing themselves into fall. |
| But what about gas prices? First, the bad news. You're paying more than you did last year. As of Wednesday, the national average was $3.84 a gallon, according to AAA. Last year, we paid $3.15 on average. |
| The good news: gas prices have been steadily declining since topping $5 nationally in June. Also, experts don't anticipate prices spiking before your road trip. |
House prices still high despite slowdown |
| The housing market is slowing down. Experts are debating whether we're in a recession or correction, and yet home prices are still higher compared to last year. The current median average time for a home on the market in July was 14 days, slightly better compared to 17 days a year ago, says the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Also, the median existing-home price for all housing types in July was $403,800, up about 10.8% from last year. For sellers? Fun times. Not so much for buyers, though. |

🍔 Today's Menu 🍔 |
| I love hot dogs. Popsicles are great, too. But a hot dog popsicle? Oscar Mayer created one called the Cold Dog. It's described as having "both refreshing and smoky, umami notes of Oscar Mayer's iconic wiener" along with a "mustard" swirl. If you're reading this while eating breakfast, I'm so sorry. |
