☆ Should I pay off my mortgage in retirement? New book tackles big money questions
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-03 | by ( Lorie Konish | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Mortgage rates may affect payoff calculusThe mortgage payoff calculus may change based on whether people can outearn their mortgage rates with safe, guaranteed investments, Benz said. For mortgage rates that are 6% or more, paying that balance off will provide a guaranteed return. Admittedly, the argument over whether to pay off mortgages is "much more emotional and psychological than it is financial," Jenkin said. The big money questions people ask themselves to prepare for retirement are just as important as the emotional ones. What brought you joy while you were working may change in retirement, Michael Finke, a professor of wealth management at The American College of Financial Services, tells Benz.

☆ Millions of student-loan borrowers are waiting for broad debt cancellation. The next president won't have any immediate answers.
▼ + stars: | 2024-11-03 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

Neither former President Trump nor VP Kamala Harris would be able to act on them imminently. Despite its inability to provide broad cancellation, Biden's Education Department has issued targeted relief that has given nearly 5 million borrowers debt cancellation to date. Constance, 65, has nearly $200,000 in student debt, an amount that's ballooned since she graduated from law school in 1994. "I would expect continued improvements and limited expansions of debt relief where legally possible under a Harris-Walz administration," Partridge said. Regardless of who wins the election, legal challenges to debt relief will keep borrowers in limbo.

Gabe Evans, a fellow Mexican American and a former Army helicopter pilot and police officer. GOP Rep. Zach Nunn, an Air Force officer, was first elected in 2022 – defeating Democratic Rep. Cindy Axne by about 2,000 votes.

Harris’ team has deployed the first lady to all seven battleground states in the last month. It marked a difficult period for the Biden family, which saw many fellow Democrats publicly and privately push for the 81-year-old president to step aside from the campaign. “Another Trump administration would lead to more chaos, more greed, more division.”First lady Jill Biden speaks during a campaign event for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov.

Despite its growth, Nvidia isn't among the top-performing stocks of the last century. Below, we list the 27 best-performing stocks since 1925, according to Hendrik Bessembinder's. Yet, data in a recent paper published by Bessembinder shows it still has a ways to go to sit among the top-performing stocks of the last 100 years. In the paper, Bessembinder looked at over 29,000 US stocks and compiled a list of the 30 stocks with the highest cumulative returns over the last century, assuming a buy-and-hold strategy and the dividends reinvested. Interestingly, negative returns were a more common outcome than gains, with 51.6% of stocks being in the red.

Britain’s Conservative Party on Saturday elected Kemi Badenoch as its new leader as it tries to rebound from a crushing election defeat that ended 14 years in power. Badenoch defeated rival lawmaker Robert Jenrick in a vote of almost 100,000 members of the right-of-center party. Badenoch replaces former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who in July led the Conservatives to their worst election result since 1832. The Conservatives lost more than 200 seats, taking their tally down to 121. But the party also lost many voters to the winning party, Labour, and to the centrist Liberal Democrats, and some Conservatives worry that tacking right will lead the party away from public opinion.

Both David and Darius — two Black men in a battleground state — are emblematic of a voter base that Democrats and Republicans see as integral to success. “Despite the chasm between the political views, we still come together on our—” said David as he searched for the right word.

John Sawchak Hennepin County Sheriff's OfficePolice were first dispatched to the home in October 2023 after Sawchak allegedly made threats involving “disparaging racial comments” at Moturi.

The Lebanese health ministry data and CNN’s analysis of airstrikes show that the Israeli military has dropped bombs within dangerous proximity of hospitals, which are protected under international law. Israel has regularly dropped 1,000-pound and 2,000-pound bombs on Lebanon, according to analysis of aftermath imagery by weapons experts, inflicting catastrophic damage to neighborhoods and towns. The Israeli military has argued that it has deployed these bombs as bunker busters to destroy Hezbollah’s underground infrastructure. The lethal fragmentation radius of these bombs puts nearby people and civilian structures, such as hospitals, at serious risk. That day, an Israeli airstrike hit the premises of Marjayoun governmental hospital in a southern Christian town of the same name.
