Meanwhile, 28% of holiday shoppers still have not paid off the gifts they purchased for their loved ones last year, according to another holiday spending report by NerdWallet . Major retailers tend to heavily discount some of their products as the holiday season unfolds. Heading into the peak holiday shopping season, there are a few steps you can take to help maximize your cash. "Slow shopping encourages consumers to think through each potential purchase rather than jumping on impulse," Woroch said. "This allows you to be mindful about what you're buying, why you're buying and who you're buying for while also giving you time to save up, compare prices and look for coupons," Woroch added.

Since the invention of the internet in 1983, traditional domain names have been used across many websites. AccessibilityToday, there are millions of traditional domain names registered on the internet. Ultimately, as the accessibility of traditional domain names declines, personalized web addresses like .pro become a necessity. A .pro domain can set a business apart because it's personalized and more descriptive than a traditional domain. The .pro domain shows a degree of proficiency and seriousness of a company that a legacy domain would struggle to achieve.

Red Lobster is turning to millennial leadership to bring in younger guests, which the chain needs after closing more than 100 of its 640 restaurants earlier this year. Red Lobster has since emerged from bankruptcy, ushering in a new era for the once-major seafood chain. But the deal was costly for Red Lobster — the company lost $11 million from that promotion alone, according to court documents. Thai Union announced in January that it would begin a complete exit from Red Lobster. Now, Red Lobster is trying to balance keeping its loyal customers while trying to shake its stodgy image to attract younger ones.

American women are having kids later in life, leaving less time to bear multiple children. American women in general are having children later, but the delay is most pronounced among the most educated. Even religious conservatives, who are biblically motivated to be fruitful and multiply, are starting families later and more often having only one child. So what will the coming reign of the only child mean for America? Just as having children is no longer seen as a required stage of adulthood, having siblings will no longer be a de facto part of childhood.

☆ Why professional colored pencils are so expensive

Student-grade colored pencils and professional-grade ones vary drastically not only in their price but how they're made. A set of 120 Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils costs $350, 14 times as much as a similar box of Crayola colored pencils. And some brands price their sets at over $550. That's because of the time and attention put into creating pencils whose colors are rich, blendable, and last decades. At Faber-Castell, this is a result of a combination of pigments and other ingredients, expertly designed cores, and carefully selected wood.
