July 2019 Free Money News

Happy July — it’s officially summer! July starts off with a bang — literally, since this is a vacation week for many and the celebration of the 4th of July comes up in just three days! Of course that means not only fun and fireworks but also the annual drama of competitive eating and the match between Joey Chestnut and competitors Carmen Cincotti and Matt Stonie. You can watch it live (if you can stomach it!) on ESPN. It will also be re-aired several times later in the day.

According to some July is going to be a blockbuster for the release of some great new movies. Among the reportedly most awesome are The Lion King reboot from Disney July 19; Sspider Man: Far from Home on July 2, Midsommar July 3; and Stuber, The Farewell, and Crawl all on July 12.

Be sure to check out this issue’s highlights for some important tips about that! And there are plenty of sports out there to keep you occupied: Women’s World Cup soccer July 1 and, plenty of action in NBA Free Agency activities, and baseball continues!
