A plan in place to transition from work to leisure. Let the good times roll! However, some retirement mistakes operate under the radar. Maybe they’re due to that heady rush of freedom in the first year of retirement. Perhaps you want to keep being generous, forgetting that you now have less money.

However, just because you are waiting, you needn’t give up happiness and fulfillment. Here are tips to help you thrive no matter your stage of life — but especially…

French stats agency trims growth outlook as Iran war lifts inflation

Getting older often brings changes to how the body stores fat, which can cause long-term health issues. But recent research found there may be a key to reducing the fat linked to more health risks. A recent study from the University of Connecticut looked at a targeted approach to fat redistribution in older women. Researchers found that testosterone gel combined with exercise could help older women reduce the type of belly fat most closely linked to diabetes and heart disease. The research followed 66 women over age 65 who were recovering from hip fractures. Hip fractures are a serious concern…

If you’re among the millions of Americans reaching for cannabis to ease anxiety, depression or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a recent study suggests you might want to reconsider. The largest review to date examined both the safety and effectiveness of medicinal cannabis across mental health conditions. Its conclusion is that there’s no evidence it works for these common uses. Published in The Lancet — one of the world’s most prestigious medical journals — the analysis drew from 54 randomized controlled trials conducted worldwide over 45 years. Around 27% of people aged 16 to 65 in the U.S. and Canada report…

Editor’s Note: This story originally appeared on MyPerfectResume.com. Confidence has become a workplace requirement. Employees are expected to sound certain in meetings, project expertise on Slack, and present themselves as capable and composed, even when they are still learning, adjusting, or struggling. But behind that polished exterior, many workers feel like they are performing. New national survey data from MyPerfectResume shows that nearly half of U.S. employees experience impostor syndrome at work, while a much larger share feel ongoing pressure to appear more confident or knowledgeable than they actually are. The result is a growing gap between how workers feel…

The statistical average in America is a distortion. When billionaires and high-frequency traders are lumped into the same pool as teachers and warehouse managers, the resulting numbers skew the reality of the American economy. The top 1% now requires an annual household income of at least $731,000 just to enter the club. Because their gains are so outsized, they pull the average upward, masking the much more modest growth seen by the rest of the country. What is life actually like for the 99%? The not quite 1% This group lies between the 90th and 99th percentiles. These are the…

Imagine getting a same-day doctor’s appointment and an unhurried, hour-long exam. For years, this level of care seemed reserved for the ultra-wealthy. Today, membership-based medical practices are bringing personalized care into everyday communities. What does concierge medicine actually cost? The average annual membership for a standard concierge practice typically ranges from $1,500 to $5,000. In high-cost, high-demand urban markets, expect $10,000 or more. This retainer buys priority. It covers extended appointments, comprehensive physicals, and often includes 24/7 communication with your doctor. Traditional primary care doctors manage well over a thousand patients, resulting in 10-minute visits. Concierge doctors limit their practices…

Friday night arrives, and by Monday morning, your bank balance takes a noticeable hit. Between restaurant meals, digital rentals, and casual shopping, the weekend is a notorious drain on a household budget. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the average American family spends thousands of dollars a year purely on food away from home and entertainment. Much of that spending is likely concentrated in a two-day window. A no-spend weekend directly interrupts this cycle. The concept is a strict 48-hour freeze from Friday evening to Monday morning, where your primary goal is to spend exactly $0. Executing just…

While wildfires and hurricanes grab headlines, another type of severe weather may present unappreciated risks for homeowners and insurers. More than 43.5 million U.S. properties are at moderate or greater risk from damaging hail, according to a new report from Cotality, a real estate data provider. Hailstorms can now cause financial losses comparable to a Category 4 hurricane, the report concludes, and damage that may cost up to $17.84 trillion to reconstruct. In 2025, Cotality notes, the U.S. recorded 142 days with damaging hail — seven more than in 2024 and well above the 20-year average of 122 days. During…
