📰 Here are our top stories:

1. You probably heard that the tax deadline was extended. Good news: That means you've got another month to make your 2020 Roth IRA contribution, as well, if you haven't done so already.

2. Many people have already received their stimulus checks. But that may not be the case yet for Social Security recipients, and here's why.

3. Looks like we're heading toward a boom in electric vehicles. Can the electrical grid handle it?

4. Yes, the roads emptied out for a while in 2020. But the pedestrian death rate jumped, exacerbating an ongoing safety crisis.

5. Toys R Us just keeps attempting a comeback. Will this one stick?

Wouldn't it be nice to see Toys R Us back in business? I don't know about you, but I don't want to grow up – I'm a Toys R Us kid.
