Matt Berna of Intrepid Travel said young travelers seek immersive, unique experiences. Some are skipping popular tourist spots in favor of so-called "destination dupes." According to Berna, young travelers aren't bogged down by FOMO — or the "fear of missing out" — that influenced older generations. AdvertisementThat's why more young folks are booking so-called "destination dupes," alternative vacation spots that are more affordable and less crowded than the well-known locations. Intrepid Travel compiled a list of destination dupes travelers should consider this year.

As my living expenses have increased after moving from a condo to a townhouse , I've been assessing how I can spend with more intentionality. I've always prided myself in being somebody who frequently declutters my physical belongings, but four boxes of beauty and wellness products begged to differ. Going into 2024, here are four ways I'm making an effort to spend and save with more intentionality. In that time, I usually find that my desire to buy those items goes down significantly.

A recent report on the future of travel includes the concept of a "carbon passport." One tour company is proposing a solution: a "carbon passport" that would limit how much carbon travelers could emit each year. "Carbon passports have taken that idea one step further" because they would involve tracking and limiting travel carbon emissions, specifically, Hawkins added. In reality, a carbon passport would be challenging to implementHawkins and Matt Berna, the president of Intrepid in the Americas, said they didn't see a carbon passport as a quick fix, though. To track your flight's carbon emissions, Berna suggests booking through Google Flights, which has included emissions levels since 2021.

Best Buy, Lowe’s and Kohl’s all reported sales declines during their most recent quarter Tuesday and are forecasting holiday sales to drop from a year ago. In 2021, Holiday shopping sales spiked by 14% and grew by a healthy 5% last year. But Moody’s Investors Service said in a report today that consumers are “losing spending steam” and holiday sales will grow by just 1% to 3% this year. “Retailers offering a combination of value and non-discretionary essentials will see their sales outperform the broader retail industry this holiday season,” according to Moody’s. “One trend that’s sticking is a longer holiday season.

REUTERS/Ammar Awad/ Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK/LONDON, Nov 6 (Reuters) - Travelers are canceling or postponing planned vacations to the Middle East and North Africa due to fears of the Israel-Hamas conflict worsening, and as touring companies have also altered itineraries and canceled flights. Travel operators say the war is affecting demand for travel to nearby nations including Egypt, Jordan and Turkey. German airline Group Lufthansa (LHAG.DE) said on Thursday their Middle East bookings have not been affected by the war, with only an initial dip when the conflict started. Spanish travel agency Essentialist said it has canceled 75% of trips to the extended Middle East and Northeast Africa region. The conflict's effect on travel demand to the Middle East may extend beyond the holidays and even just neighboring countries.

Single women face unique challenges when planning for retirement, so I asked an expert for help. Plus, women are often put in a caregiving role, which means time off from work — and not contributing regularly to retirement funds. So how can single women like me juggle with inflation, a higher cost of living, dwindling income, and the gender wage gap to be on track for retirement? I asked Marie Thomasson, a certified financial planner and founder of Modern Assets, an LA-based financial advisory firm for independent, progressive women, for tips on how single women can steer the course and make sure they're on track with their goals for retirement planning. Reassess your retirement accountsOnce you have your financial bases covered, you can venture into investing and retirement planning, says Thomasson.

After paying off $50,000 in debt, Berna Anat started saving money seeking financial freedom. She found that a "sinking fund" can help with typical life expenses that don't require cracking open the emergency fund. If you find yourself constantly dipping into your emergency savings for everyday issues, you will soon not have much of an emergency fund left. You can have as many sinking funds as you like, however big or small you need. "No need to dip into your emergency savings or cut any part of your budget.

Turkey inflation dips to 39.6% on relief from free gas
  + stars: | 2023-06-05 | by ( ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
ISTANBUL, June 5 (Reuters) - Turkish annual inflation fell to 39.59% in May, official data showed on Monday, broadly in line with expectations, largely due to the government offsetting price rises in other goods by providing natural gas free of charge. The government had pledged ahead of last month's elections that it would provide free gas in May, and a monthly free 25 cubic metres until May 2024. The poll had forecast that annual consumer price inflation (CPI) (TRCPIY=ECI) would be 39.2%, and was expected to end the year at 45%. Clothing and shoe prices recorded the largest monthly increase with 9.85%, followed by restaurant and hotel prices with 7.10%. The weight of natural gas in the inflation basket is 2.9%.

New York CNN —If you follow right-wing media or Twitter, you may have seen a lot of coverage recently about Target’s stock price falling. Fox News aired more than 2 hours of coverage on Target’s Pride Month displays from May 23 to May 30, according to Media Matters, a liberal media monitoring group. Target faced a homophobic campaign that went viral on social media over its annual Pride Month clothing collection. But Target’s stock drop has nothing to do with its Pride Month clothing collection or the anti-LGBTQ campaign. JP Morgan, which downgraded Target’s stock Thursday, said in a report that “we continue to believe that the consumer is broadly weakening while the share of wallet shift away from goods is ongoing.” JP Morgan did not include a word about consumer backlash to Target’s Pride Month collection.

The Brazilian artist Berna Reale sits atop a horse painted scarlet, a cage-like muzzle covering her face. As the animal clops down the empty street at dawn, Reale guides it with black leather reins, her hands in gloves that match. She wears a black military uniform and a serious expression on her face. “When you perform for people on the street you don’t know how they’ll react,” says Reale, 57, who also works with the police as a forensics expert. They have the right to be bothered by it, just like I have the right to be there performing it.”
Whirlpool partners Arcelik in Europe, quits MidEast and Africa

Whirlpool also said it had agreed to sell its Middle Eastern and African businesses to Arcelik, which the Turkish firm said was for 20 million euros ($21.65 million) in cash. The moves come after Whirlpool launched a review of its Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) operations in April 2022 and said it planned to focus on higher margin businesses. The U.S. firm said the Middle Eastern and African businesses being sold to Arcelik had sales of around $4.2 billion in 2021. The entirety of Whirlpool's EMEA business reported sales of $5.01 billion last year. The deals are expected to be completed in the second half of the 2023, subject to regulatory approval, Arcelik said.
By 1993, Colombian authorities, the US government, and rival criminals were all after Pablo Escobar. "Perseguidos por Pablo Escobar," or People Persecuted by Pablo Escobar — known as Los Pepes — was made up of rival drug traffickers, paramilitaries, and others scorned by the Medellín cartel boss. His son, Juan Pablo Escobar Henao, who has changed his name to Sebastián Marroquín, has insisted that his father took his own life on that Medellín rooftop. "I have no doubt" that Pablo Escobar planned his own death, Marroquín said in a 2014 interview. The question of who killed Pablo Escobar is likely to go unresolved, probably by design.
These retail chains may not survive a recession

New York CNN Business —America’s retail chains have proven surprisingly strong during the pandemic. At the beginning of the pandemic, stores temporarily closed to halt the spread of Covid-19 and retail sales tumbled. “That wave of defaults effectively flushed out a lot of debt and unprofitable stores from the sector,” Sokolyanska said. Retail sales quickly recovered thanks to federal stimulus checks, growing personal savings accounts and pent-up consumer demand. Retail sales remain above pre-pandemic levels and more stores have announced openings than closings this year.

Cel mai scump oraș din lume pentru lucrătorii din străinătate este capitala turkmenă Așgabat. La această concluzie a ajuns compania de analiză financiară Mercer, care a analizat costul vieții în 209 orașe de pe glob. Acolo s-a produs o hiperinflație și o criză a alimentelor, ceea ce a dus și la creșterea prețurilor pentru închirierea apartamentelor. În top 10 se mai regăsește capitala japoneză Tokyo, orașele elvețiene Zurich, Geneva și Berna, Singapore și metropolele chineze Shanghai și Beijing. La celălalt capăt al clasamentului, cele mai ieftine orașe de locuit pentru lucrătorii din străinătate sunt capitala georgiană Tbilisi, cea a Zambiei, Lusaka, și cea kârgâză, Bișkek.
