As the sun rises over the Pacific Ocean, the sky glows with an array of colors, changing slowly from pink, purple, and orange to a dazzling blue. Palm trees sway gently in the morning breeze as ocean waves tumble over miles of undeveloped beach. This is Las Lajas, one of the longest stretches of beach in Panama and one of the quietest. A place where pelicans often outnumber the people, and baby sea turtles clamber for the safety of the water. The quiet life in Las Lajas Las Lajas…

LightField Studios / Shutterstock.comIt’s not your imagination: Grocery prices are killing us, with the cost of many foods still far exceeding what we used to pay. Which gives us two (unpalatable) choices: Earn more or spend less. But the more we spend on food, the less there is for other budget categories (especially retirement and emergency funds). So why not spend less by changing the way we shop? That could mean eating less…
Most physicians don’t have a knowledge problem. They have a time and repetition problem. You’re rewriting similar emails, summarizing the same information, planning similar projects over and over, every week. It adds up quietly. Ten minutes here. Twenty there. By Friday, you’ve lost hours to tasks that were barely different from the ones you did last Monday. AI gets pitched as something revolutionary. Maybe it is, eventually. But honestly, the useful version right now is more boring than that. It removes repetition. Build one prompt that works, reuse it for similar tasks, stop starting from scratch. That’s the actual time…
In 45 years in personal finance — as a CPA, a Wall Street investment advisor, and a two-time Emmy-winning financial journalist — I’ve seen thousands of retirement portfolios, as well as what protected them, what didn’t, and what most financial advisors consistently fail to discuss with clients who are within 10 years of retirement. This article covers five of those risks. None of them are exotic. All of them are real. And almost none of them come up in a typical advisor meeting — because there’s no commission in pointing them out. If you already know you want to explore…
You might feel as energetic as ever, but at around 50, your body enters a new phase that benefits from proactive preventive maintenance. It is less about looking for trouble and more about staying ahead of it. Modern medicine has moved away from a one-size-fits-all mentality. Today, your screening schedule depends heavily on your unique history, lifestyle, and genetic blueprint. Working closely with a primary care provider ensures you aren’t just checking boxes, but performing the specific tests that offer the highest value for your long-term wellness. Here’s a checklist of the most important health issues to discuss with your…
Party City has graduated out of bankruptcy, just in time to help folks prepare for their own family graduation parties.

More than 60 days into a partial government shutdown, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the agency may have to stop paying salaries in May. “Fortunately, what President Trump did through an executive order allowed us to grab emergency funding that came out of the One Big Beautiful Bill … but that money is dried up, if I continue down this path, the first week of May,” Mullin said in an interview with Fox News. When paychecks last went unpaid, officers with the Transportation Security Administration began calling out of their shifts, leaving just a few officers to…

Travelers in the U.S. are generally happy with major airlines, according to a new survey. There are a few notable exceptions, though. According to the American Customer Satisfaction Index Travel Study 2026, airlines generally saw 3% gains in customer satisfaction. The survey polled 14,910 U.S. travelers between April 2025 and March 2026. “The gains are encouraging, but they’re also fragile. Airlines have been benefiting from a more stable environment, but sustaining higher satisfaction will depend on whether they can keep delivering consistent service while managing costs and changing customer expectations,” Forrest Morgeson, associate professor of marketing at Michigan State University…
