4. Arby's officially has all the meats. For the first time ever, they're adding burgers to their menu!

Arby's is best known for its roast beef. The new burger is called the Wagyu Steakhouse Burger and it's being offered from now through the end of July. This burger is made from a combination of ground beef and wagyu beef and officials say they spent more than two years working on it.

Arby's says the wagyu steakhouse burger is 50-percent bigger than McDonald’s quarter pounder and comes with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles, red onion, and a special sauce. It costs $5.99.

5. It's wedding season, and a new survey says many people might be spending a bit more than what they would like.

According to The Wedding Report, more than two million weddings are expected in 2022, which is the most since 1984.

However, guests might be spending more than what they would like.

A recent survey by Bankrate.com found that 39 million Americans feel forced to spend more money than they're comfortable with when attending a wedding. 61 percent of adults are planning to attend these celebrations, a decrease from the 65 percent last year. Analysts suggest inflation could be a reason for the decline.
