SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images Marriott has cut off donations to GOP lawmakers who objected to certifying Democrat Joe Biden as president. The hotel chain said the decision was the result of last week's siege on the US Capitol by pro-Trump supporters. Marriott is one of the largest US companies to announce it was halting PAC donations to the GOP members who took part in the failed attempt to overturn the election. Companies including Microsoft, Google, GM, and Coca-Cola have condemned the riots as an assault on US democracy.
President Donald Trump has waged an all-out war against the election results. Several Republicans have waged lawsuits in multiple states seeking to overturn the election results. Sen. Mitt Romney said it would "madness" for Republicans to protest the vote certifying the election for Joe Biden.

Mortgage underwriters and personal finance advisers recommend that Americans spend no more than 28% to 30% of their income on housing costs. And according to Certified Financial Planner and Business Insider contributor Tanza Loudenback, it's a very good rule of thumb if you want to build wealth. Of course, to achieve this, you may have to take a few deep breaths along the way and do things like sharing with roommates or renting the 'worst' bedroom. However, by keeping your long-term fixed housing costs to less than 30% of your take-home pay, you can be far more flexible with the rest of your budget. But remember, 'housing' costs don't just include rent. Utilities, such as power, water, sewage, garbage collection, cable, and internet all add up quickly. Even so, living by the "30% rule" for housing can let you funnel more and more into retirement savings and other investments as your income improves!
