🌅 Good morning, RootBadger. Wednesday starts with a fuel-policy decision taking shape, followed by a practical check for the next pay stub.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the administration is examining whether a full or partial ban would work. Reuters notes that top energy officials have warned the move could raise prices on the coasts and tighten supplies for European allies.

💵 Useful this morning: Pull up a recent pay statement and check whether your federal withholding still fits your situation, especially after a new job, marriage, divorce, a child, multiple jobs, or a major income change. The IRS Tax Withholding Estimator can flag likely over- or under-withholding and help you prepare a new Form W-4 for your employer if an adjustment is needed.
