“In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.” As you age you will learn to value your time, genuine relationships, meaningful work, and peace of mind, much more.

You give your time to lots of meaningless time-wasters. You take your important relationships for granted. You get to work skeptically with inner resistance. And you let everyday stress get the best of…

Social Security retirees got a 2.8% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) this year, and retirees have now received their first bigger checks of the new year. For many, the 2.8% benefits bump may feel too small to have made a difference in their spending power — especially given that Medicare premiums increased in 2026 as well. That meant most retirees who pay Medicare premiums from their Social Security check saw $17.90 of their COLA taken away due to these added medical care costs. As retirees adjust to a 2026 benefit that may still feel smaller than they’d like it to…

For many, early retirement was once the defining ambition of adult working life. No longer. Today, mini-retirements are gaining traction, as young Singaporeans – weary of the nine-to-five grind – take intentional breaks from corporate careers to explore alternative lifestyles and experiences. A mini-retirement is a deliberate mid-career pause, typically lasting six to 12 months, taken to rest, reassess priorities or pursue personal goals, rather than deferring fulfilment until traditional retirement. It’s a shift that’s reshaping how people approach their personal and financial goals. A recent HSBC report found that affluent individuals are increasingly embracing “multi-retirements”, with nearly half planning…

Ryōta Seki, a Ph.D. student at Kyushu University, followed a hunch. As an avid insect enthusiast, he decided to take a closer look at the pine trees on campus one day. That hunch led him to the discovery of a new species of ladybug (also known as ladybirds outside of the United States). And this one — the Parastethorus pinicola, or pine dweller — was black.“Small black ladybirds like these have not been studied much because they are incredibly difficult to identify,” Seki said in a press release from Kyushu University. “They are barely larger than a grain of sand, and they…
