At Burke Center in Virginia, where Ms. Vogel is actively searching, she hasn’t found anything to persuade her to sign on.

Another issue is mortgage rates, which have hovered above 6% for the past month, a far cry from the ultra-low…

Halloween is the most anticipated holiday of the year, at least for me. I started decorating in September. But somehow Halloween managed to get caught up in the season of overconsumption. I don’t want to be Scrooge for Halloween, but I can’t stand the pressure of buying giant bags of candy or spending money on trendy off-the-shelf costumes that I only wear for one night. Half the fun of Halloween is testing your creativity. You can bring your favorite characters to life through DIY and other money-saving methods. It’s a tradition that should be affordable. This Halloween, social media is…

At the beginning of this year, I loudly and confidently announced to everyone that I was finally going to lose my chubby belly and get back to the flat abs I had years ago. PREMIUM “Today, fitness goals include positivity, but I think the world could do without it,” Ashish says. “The body doesn’t care how much motivational quote you ingest, and abs won’t show up because you visualized them so hard.” (Image: Adobe Stock) I was confident that with enough discipline, a proper diet, and a strict training regimen, I would be walking around proudly in no time.Those abs…
Compared to Wall Street tycoons, presidents don’t receive as much compensation while in power. Estimates are that the candidates are getting into the “serve the country” game, scoring extra grays and landing future book deals. But Kamala Harris isn’t necessarily banking on a potential new paycheck. Because she already has some wealth. Forbes estimates that Harris’ net worth, along with her husband Doug Emhoff, is $8 million. Although Donald Trump’s secretive nature has sparked intense debate over his wealth, Harris remains more open about her finances than her opponent. During the 2020 presidential campaign, Harris released 15 years of her…
