One variant of the DINK is the DINKWAD , double income couples without kids — but with a dog. AdvertisementAdvertisement"Some of those savings might ripple into an accumulation and increase in net worth," Heggeness said. What's more, the cost of raising one child to their high school years is estimated to be $310,605 — the bulk of a median DINK's net worth. For instance, single Americans with children have seen their net worth more than double over the last decade, and their net worth is outpacing younger, childless singles. Now, that rise in net worth might be due to the changing dynamics of how single parents are arriving at their destination.

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.

☆ The League was criticized as the dating app for elitists—'that was actually never the case,' founder says

When The League first entered the emerging dating app space in 2014, it was labeled "elitist." All of this, of course, makes The League harder to join than other dating apps such as Tinder or Bumble. Eight years since that post, and one year since the app was acquired by Match Group, Bradford maintains the app isn't elitist. It's less about what you've achieved and more about where you're going. Bradford: She's a Harvard graduate and thinks people from those schools want someone that's going to match them from those communities.

This has at least two major implications for the internal workings of the Democratic Party. If you take the internal dynamics of the Democratic Party and invert them, you get something like those within the Republican Party. Outside a handful of environments, found in largely Democratic states like Maryland and Massachusetts, moderate Republican politicians are virtually extinct. But more than the number of conservatives is the character of the conservatism that dominates the Republican Party. The Republican Party exists almost entirely for the promotion of a distinct and doctrinaire ideology of hierarchy and anti-government retrenchment.

☆ Ray Dalio says this 1 question will help you uncover someone's true motives: 'This applies to everything'
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Almost everyone has an ulterior motive, according to billionaire investor Ray Dalio — and figuring it out comes down to asking yourself one simple question. "This applies to everything: when you're buying something, asking for advice, reading the newspaper, watching the news, etc.," he wrote. "That is because most people (though not all people) are trying to sell you something that will help them get the things they want." As for seeing things from a "higher level," Dalio has long attributed that ability to his success at evaluating financial markets. "I call this ability to rise above your own and others' circumstances and objectively look down on them 'higher-level thinking,'" Dalio wrote on Facebook a year later.

A good example of bad climate marketing comes from the Irish budget airline Ryanair. Carbon offsets involve contributing money to a project that will help avoid, reduce, or remove carbon emissions from the atmosphere, such as planting trees or building wind farms. Some of the most successful corporate efforts at climate marketing place more emphasis on consumers' personal concerns. According to the International Energy Agency, global carbon emissions reached a record high last year. The more you focus on what everyday people care about, Berger said, the more effective your marketing campaign will be.

The more money they make, the more likely people are to think they're better off than their parents, LendingTree found. Among households earning $100,000 a year or more, 79% say they're doing better than their parents.

President Biden’s age is on the minds of American voters as they think about the 2024 election. The 2024 election is going to hinge similarly on core issues and a vision that speaks directly to the lives and hopes of voters. But this is a winnable race for the president, even if it sometimes seems his team is shielding him from the public. If Mr. Trump becomes Mr. Biden’s opponent, this task is simpler. They’re both old, so I think the question of age will become moot for a lot of voters.

Tiny but bountiful, Antarctic krill make up one of the planet’s largest biomasses, nourishing everything from fish to marine mammals and seabirds. At Steinberg’s lab, researchers are examining how warming oceans — Antarctic krill need water colder than 4 degrees Celsius (39 Fahrenheit) to survive — are altering krill’s life cycle. However, a leading marine biologist the industry once relied on to burnish its environmental credentials has since denounced krill fishing. She accepted with the hope that she could help mitigate the effects of krill fishing on the Antarctic ecosystem. Today, she believes that krill fishing should be banned.

Donations purchased by a Brooklyn synagogue community to aid military and humanitarian relief efforts in Israel are seen being loaded into a car in Brooklyn, New York, U.S. October 10, 2023. Some 5.8 million Jews live in the United States, according to the Pew Research Center. While there is no sign that Israel is short on basic supplies like granola bars, the donations underscore the concern and connection Jews in the United States feel toward Israel. Elan Kornblum, the Brooklyn-based head of Great Kosher Restaurants Foodies, has turned his company's Facebook page of 91,000 members - who usually discuss favorite kosher restaurants - into a forum for coordinating Israel aid efforts.

STOCKHOLM, Oct 9 (Reuters) - American economic historian Claudia Goldin won the 2023 Nobel economics prize for her work examining wage inequality between men and women, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said on Monday. "This year's Laureate in the Economic Sciences, Claudia Goldin, provided the first comprehensive account of women's earnings and labour market participation through the centuries," the prize-giving body said in a statement. Goldin, who in 1990 became the first woman to be tenured at the Harvard economics department, is only the third woman to win the Nobel economics prize. "Claudia Goldin's discoveries have vast societal implications," said Randi Hjalmarsson, member of the Economic Prize committee. As with the other Nobel prizes, the vast majority of the economics awards have gone to men.

CNN —The number of Latinos with advanced degrees has more than doubled in the last 20 years, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis. In the study, Pew found that in 2021, nearly 2.5 million Latinos held advanced degrees, compared to 710,000 in 2000. As of 2021, about 290,000 more Hispanic women had advanced degrees than men, the analysis revealed. Most Latinos with advanced degrees hold a master’s as their highest level of education, according to the analysis. Despite the nearly two-fold increase in Latinos with advanced degrees, they account for just 8% of all advanced degree holders in the US — even though they represent 19% of the population.
