MoneyHelper Information: AI and Financial Decisions

Introduction

Research surveys suggest AI can boost confidence, but that confidence doesn’t always translate into improved financial decision making or outcomes. A study reported by Fortune found that while many millennials and Gen Z users reported felling more confident after using AI for financial advice, over 50% of them also said it had led them to make at least one poor financial decision. Feeling more confident doesn’t always mean the information is accurate.

NAPLES: Vesuvius Crater Trail

 

For 12+ kids who want a "we actually did something" day, the Vesuvius crater trail is a solid choice:

The walk from the car park to the crater rim is about 30–40 minutes each way, moderate difficulty, on gravel track — manageable for most kids in reasonable shape.

Tickets must be booked online in advance — they aren't sold at the gate, and there's no signal near the entrance, so buy before you head up.

Entry is by timed slot; in summer, arrive early morning to beat both the heat and the crowds.

A guide is included with your ticket and walks the group along the crater edge

Why not combine it with Pompeii or Herculaneum, both 20–30 minutes away, for a fuller day.
