Jeśli chodzi o darmowe jedzenie, nie odmawiam go nigdy, więc ostatnio jadłam na śniadanie porzucony baton proteinowy znajomej, który postanowiłam uratować przed śmietnikiem — to mój osobisty obowią...

The White House told America to 'suck it up' on high prices. After Mamdani's win, where affordability was a key issue, Trump is scrambling to reverse.

Baby boomers have turned into Generation Can't-Let-Go

As boomers cling to power, America's become a gerontocracy — in business, housing, and the workforce. Here's what it means for millennials and Gen Z.

America is willing to gamble on anything, from sports to the stock market to elections. Kalshi, Polymarket, and FanDuel are happy to take those bets.

AI is making it easier than ever for Americans to start a side hustle. It also makes it harder than ever to stand out and earn good money.

Costco's new shopping hours are the latest sign of our frustrating customer reality: more fees, tiers, and chaotic pricing.

The rise of Ozempic and weight-loss drugs is a convenient excuse for the fashion industry and retailers to cut back on plus-size clothing options.

E-commerce is great for a lot of things — snagging sales, stocking up on staples, buying stupid stuff we really do not need. But people’s voracious appetite for online shopping does appear to have its limits, specifically when it comes to luxury.The expectation has long been that e-commerce would revolutionize luxury, just as it has so much of retail. It killed many malls and bookstores; it made Walmart go digital; it transformed shipment and logistics operations across the globe. So why wouldn’…

American Express used to be your dad’s card. OK, your rich dad’s card. Or, fine, your rich friend’s rich dad’s card. But now, for a growing cohort of Gen Zers and millennials, it’s their card, too. Amex has cracked the code with the youngs, and it’s managed to do so without giving up its prestige image.American Express has long been viewed as the fancy credit-card company. Its products were historically seen as being for jet-setters and the wealthy, with wealthy usually translating to older. The…

In mid-March, a scammer in California tried to buy $150 worth of Wingstop using my debit card. Aside from being impressed at the sheer size of the order, I was relieved because Citibank, which issued my card, declined the transaction on the spot and alerted me to the fraud. In minutes I was able to shut off my card, heading off any more purchases by the scammers, and order a new card. All’s well that ends well.When I went to Buenos Aires in April, I figured I might run into a similar situation.…

Jay Powell would very much like to stay out of politics, especially in an election year. The Federal Reserve chair doesn’t want to be perceived as having a horse in the race come November, especially when one of said horses — Donald Trump — is definitely going to be attacking him from any angle he can.Powell, who was appointed as Fed chair by Trump and then reappointed by Joe Biden, has gone to great lengths to emphasize that the central bank is above the political fray. He has repeatedly emphas…

At the start of the year, I decided that I would become America’s bravest woman. I would frame some art on my own.Getting something framed professionally is super expensive, so I was convinced that this would be a herculean task — requiring precision and craft to justify such a high price tag. Ultimately, the endeavor turned out to be painless. With a handful of frames I bought online and, briefly, the help of a butter knife, I accomplished in an hour what I’d assumed would take me all day. My f…
