SPTI holds U.S. Treasury securities in the intermediate maturity range, offering a 3.76% dividend yield and an expense ratio of just 0.03%, making it one of the cheapest ways to own Treasury income.

Delta raised its Q1 revenue growth guidance to the high single digits, above its prior 5-7% forecast, while absorbing roughly $400 million in additional fuel costs since the escalation of the Iran conflict.

Mega IPOs like OpenAI and SpaceX are creating a gravity well in the public markets, what that means for smaller companies waiting to go public and whether the IPO pipeline is actually reopening in 2026. They also dig into the growing tension inside software companies as AI agents begin to threaten seat based pricing models and what recent disclosures are quietly admitting about the competitive risks.

That's a $9,000 raise, essentially. Sell the car and use that cash to get a functional car. If you can sell it, get that $5,000 in your hand plus this $9,000 and buy you a $15,000 paid-for car, that's a nice car. And now you got no car payments.

As a childfree person, there's a point when you can have too much wealth. I'm not trying to build generational wealth - in fact, I'd like to die with very little money. That means my career isn't driven by financial gain. I focus on purpose, not profit.

I've lived in Malaysia most of my life, and the sense of safety here quietly shapes daily life. It's not about alarms or locked gates-it's about how neighbors smile as you pass, how laughter floats from late-night food stalls, and how people look out for one another.

Turning skills into a fulfilling and profitable venture is a natural next step for active seniors. The transition offers a way to monetize years of dedication and hard work. Creating a business plan for a hobby allows for a low-stress entry into the market. You already understand the product or service better than most competitors.

So far this year, Revenue has paid out €637m in tax refunds to well over half-a-million taxpayers. Average refunds are nearly €1,000 for this year, new figures show, but more money is likely to be available to more PAYE workers. People got money back because of their employers taking too much income tax and for claims for tax reliefs like spending on GPs and prescriptions.

This was a very small plot of land. He was a tenant farmer, so it wasn't his. He didn't have money, and he needed to move on because it wasn't working; probably not enough to eat, couldn't sustain. So, he left and went to America, and here I am a couple of generations later.

The Social Security Fairness Act, signed on January 5, 2025, eliminated two reductions known as the Windfall Elimination Provision and the Government Pension Offset. In plain terms: if you received a pension from a job that did not pay into Social Security, such as many state and local government positions, those provisions had been cutting your Social Security benefit, sometimes dramatically. Now they cannot.

Each year, the PGA Tour underpins prize funds on the DP World, formerly European, Tour. The fee is listed in the European Tour Group's accounts as an annual investment payment. In 2024, it rose by almost 10%, to 21.5m. The likelihood is the figure increased again in 2025. The mistake would be to regard this as chump change for the PGA Tour; the subsidy is turning heads within an organisation that now has private equity and the Strategic Sports Group to answer to.

International Living published its list of the best places to retire for as little as $1,200 a month. The publication considered both quantitative data, such as rent prices, utility costs, and grocery bills, and insights from its global network of contributors to compile a list of 14 places spanning Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

The top positions include Brazilian beverage giant Ambev, Brazilian bank Bradesco, China Railway Group, and a cluster of Taiwanese industrials and telecom names.
