In March, headline inflation, which tracks items like food, housing, and transportation costs, dropped to 2.4%. Core inflation, which measures everything but food and energy for a broader picture of price trends, reached 2.8% over the same period, its lowest rate since March 2021. 

Here's a sampling of March 2024 to March 2025 price changes for everyday items:  

• Eggs: +60.4% 

• Fuel: -9.8% 

• Sporting goods: -5% 

• Educational books: +12.3% 

• In the United States, women are expected to outlive men by 5.3 years. Women born in 2023 were expected to live to be 81.1 years old. Men had a life expectancy of 75.8 years.
  That longevity gap has changed over time. It was 2 years in 1900 and peaked at nearly 8 years around 1980.
  Life expectancy fell in 2020 due to COVID-19 but has largely rebounded. Men lost an average of 2.8 years and recovered 2.3. Women lost an average of 2.1 years and regained 1.8. 
  The longevity gap also narrows at older ages, in part because more men die before age 65. A 65-year-old man in 2023 was expected to live another 18.2 years to age 83.2, while a woman the same age could expect another 20.7 years. (If you’re feeling morbidly curious, try the Social Security Administration’s life expectancy calculator to forecast how much longer a person might live based on birth date and gender.)
  Causes of death also differ between men and women. In 2023, heart disease, cancer, and accidents killed men at higher rates than women: 457 of every 100,000 men died from these, compared to 289 women.
