It's caused tension in our marriage because my spouse and I clash over our expenditure on our kids. However, now that I'm married with kids, mocking my frugal upbringing has become a bit of a family joke. We constantly clash over how much we spend on the kids. Left to his own devices, my husband could easily spend between $500 and $700 on each child. In an ideal world, kids wouldn't bully each other for not wearing the "right" label.

☆ The S&P 500 is down 7.5%—but if you're worried about it, 'you shouldn't own stocks,' says Warren Buffett
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-05 | by ( Ryan Ermey | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

U.S. stocks fell sharply Monday as part of a global selloff fueled by mounting recession fears among investors. Further roiling global markets is unusual currency trading out of Japan. The S&P 500 — a measure of the broad U.S. stock market — was down about 2% in early trading, putting it 7.5% below the index's all-time high close on July 16. In fact, you'd be wise to ignore short-term ups and downs in the stock market altogether — at least according to Buffett. "If you're worried about corrections, you shouldn't own stocks," Buffett said in a 2015 interview with The Street.

Zuckerberg even touted Meta's growing stockpile of Nvidia chips in an interview with The Verge in January, adding that he expects the company to own more than 340,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs by the end of 2024. The boom in data center builds has also spurred significant chip demand. Amazon, Meta, and Google are all designing their own AI chips.

Borges’ victory in his maiden ATP Tour final – against Nadal on clay, no less – lifts him to a career high of No. 161, was playing in his first final since the 2022 French Open, but two mammoth three-set victories in the previous two rounds had perhaps taken their toll on the 38-year-old.

Then on Jan. 5, about six minutes and 16,000 feet into a packed flight out of Portland, Oregon, a door plug blew out of a nearly new Boeing 737 Max 9. The Federal Aviation Administration barred Boeing from increasing output of its Max planes and stepped up hands-on inspections at production plants. The 737 was dubbed "Baby Boeing" and went on to become the company's bestseller, helping to make Boeing the largest U.S. exporter. Pilots in those Boeing planes fought against a flight-control system, the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System, that pushed the nose of the planes downward repeatedly. Boeing has said it aims to increase rates to about 50 Max planes a month in the next few years.

If confidence is on one end of the spectrum, anxiety is at the other, Robertson said. “Confidence is linked to the action systems of the brain,” Robertson said.

Though she cited its circulation benefits following a severe blood-clot scare with the birth of her child, the French Open said it would bar the style in the future. However, the Women’s Tennis Association formally allowed it, and Williams continued to wear versions of the bodysuit at the 2019 and 2021 Australian Opens, normalizing the agile and simplified cut for the tennis court.
