In 2010, Kolinda and I met at a clown convention, where we were introduced to each other while wearing full clown makeup. I had been a clown since 1988, when I enrolled at clown college.

Ultimately, the Ramsey rule indicates that you should withdraw 8% per year from your portfolio while retired, adjusted for inflation, and the idea, or at least the hope, is that your money will last indefinitely. This sounds fantastic, at least on the surface, but the hiccup here is that it relies entirely on you having a portfolio of stock-only mutual funds that will reliably produce 12% on average in annual returns.
More than 1,200 U.S. citizens expatriated in the first quarter of 2025 alone - a 102% increase compared to the same period a year ago, according to recent research.

I will finish all those books I started. I will play the lifetime of computer games I missed out on. (gaming noise) I'll birdwatch. I'll learn magpies are beautiful - but terrifying.
Robert Lewandowski has entered that intimate territory where legendary goalscorers choose how they want the last chapter to be written. His contract expires at the end of 2025-26 - June 2026 - and today, as La Posesión has learned, his compass points first to Barcelona. He and his family feel at home.
