Amazon includes a free $300 gift card when you pre-order the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7

Engadget21-07-2025
We are mere days away from the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 on July 25. Amazon is enticing customers to try out the foldable handset by throwing in a $300 gift card with every pre-order . This can be used to purchase anything on the platform and is available with every color and both the 256GB and 512GB versions of the Z Fold 7.
We strongly recommend going for the 512GB model, as the two storage options are the same price ($2,000) during this pre-order period. Samsung is offering a similar promotion , but that $300 gift card can only be used on the company's official store. This could be a good fit for those looking for accessories, but Amazon offers more bang for your buck.
The card can be used all across Amazon. $2,000 at Amazon
Despite not actually being out yet, the Z Fold 7 is already making a splash in the foldable scene. We were so impressed with our review unit that we placed the gadget at the top of our list of the best foldable phones . It's a remarkably thin device, with a sleekly-designed hinge that stays out of the way when opened.
The 200MP main camera is fantastic, the specs are unparalleled and both displays are gorgeous. We called it a "stunning device" in our official review , going on to praise the 120Hz refresh rate of both screens and the peak brightness of 2,600 nits. We said that the displays "pop a touch more" compared to rivals like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold.
The main downside here is the price. We know foldables are the hot, new thing for the tech-obsessed, but $2,000 is a whole lot of cheddar for a handset. Today's deal (sort of) brings that down to $1,700, which makes things a bit more palatable.

I plan to work until 80. Can I contribute to my IRA while taking RMDs?

I have a few questions about retirement accounts. Thanks in advance. 1) In a few years I will have to take required minimum distributions (RMDs) from my traditional IRA (currently my only retirement account). I plan to work until age 80 or so. Will I be able to continue contributing to the IRA even after beginning RMDs? I plan to work until 80. Can I contribute to my IRA while taking RMDs? Trade Desk's stock sees its worst drop ever, and analysts wonder if Amazon is to blame 'I have a great mortgage rate': I need $80K to buy my husband out of our home. Do I raid my $180K Roth IRA? 2) I'm self-employed. No employees and not incorporated. My income is reported on a 1099-K (basically a pass-through from the company that processes my clients' credit-card payments). I contribute the max to my IRA every year. I will soon, in addition, derive income as an independent contractor and that income will report on a standard 1099. So I'll have both. My key question: Can I open a SEP-IRA for the 1099 income (and possibly even the 1099-K income)? If so, can I contribute to both? Sincerely, Self-Employed Saver See: I've been getting the wrong Social Security Disability benefit for years. How do I fix it? To answer your first question simply — yes. Because it is an IRA, you will have to take RMD — but thanks to the Secure Act, you can continue to contribute to the account so long as you receive earned income. To answer your second question simply — also yes. You can use 1099 income to fund a SEP-IRA since it is self-employment income. The same goes for your 1099-K income if it's self-employment income, too. With this question, there's a bit more to know, though. A SEP-IRA is basically just a traditional IRA for business owners, so it follows many of the same rules as the account you've already come to know. There are, however, a few differences. For example, the maximum you can contribute to a SEP in 2025 is the lesser of up to 25% of your total compensation, which is determined by your net earnings, or up to $70,000. 'There is no limitation when coordinating a SEP-IRA and a traditional IRA,' said Byrke Sestok, a partner at Moneco Advisors. You can contribute to a SEP as well as to your traditional IRA, since the SEP is funded with employer contributions and the traditional IRA is made with personal contributions. 'You can both receive employer contributions to a SEP-IRA and make regular, annual contributions to a traditional or Roth IRA. Employer contributions made under a SEP plan do not affect the amount you can contribute to an IRA on your own behalf,' according to the Internal Revenue Service. RMDs also apply to SEP-IRAs, just so you are aware. Congratulations on such a hard-work ethic. Saving more for retirement while you're still working is always a good thing. 'I feel shaken': A man offered to powerwash my patio for $50. He would not take no for an answer. 'She lives alone': My mother-in-law, 86, gets $1,300 in Social Security. Is that enough to live on?
