The Traditional IRA and a few related fun formz If you (and your spouse, if you have one) are not covered by employer-sponsored retirement plans at work (read: a 401(k) or 403(b), most likely), you can each contribute up to $6,500 to your own Traditional IRAs for the 2023 tax season. That’s up to $13,000 you can wipe right off the top of your taxable income, if both partners contribute the full amount to their respective IRAs. A minor point of clarification for couples with combined finances: These are intended to be individual retirement accounts, so there’s no such thing…
The United States is the largest economy in the world by far, accounting for more than a quarter of the world’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2022. Yet we make up less than 5% of the global population. Most of humanity doesn’t enjoy the same standard of living that we do — at least, not yet. Developing countries are full of people working hard to offer their children the kind of life we take for granted in America. And every year, more of them succeed. In investing parlance, these developing countries are called emerging markets. Investing in emerging markets isn’t…

For college students, sending money to friends has never been easier thanks to peer-to-peer payment apps like Venmo, PayPal and Cash App. But that convenience poses risks, including vulnerability to errors, fraud and the tendency to overspend. As a result, payment apps can contribute to financial stress at a time when young people are learning how to manage their finances on their own. “Peer-to-peer payment apps are cash on steroids because they’re a straw stuck into your bank account,” says Anne Lester, author of “Your Best Financial Life.” Not only does that make spending easier and more “frictionless,” Lester explains,…

I sat up a little straighter in the sweatpants I’d been wearing for three days. The “trick,” of course, was some to-do list management system that costs “just 62 cents a day.” In my moment of greasy, inferior weakness, I swiped up, filled with visions of myself in a committed relationship with an adult skincare routine and an uncanny ability to remember other people’s birthdays. In this future, not only was I crushing it professionally, but I was also bilingual, moisturized, and on top of canceling free trials before they charged my card for $9.99 plus tax. My hope curdled…

Branded is a weekly column devoted to the intersection of marketing, business, design, and culture. Gold is a hot commodity lately. Spot prices hit a peak this week, attributed to geopolitical jitters and uncertainty about a potential Fed rate cut. Those are traditional inspirations for a gold rush, but these days potential goldbugs have a venue other than the usual markets: Costco. The discount club chain has seen its share price jump 46% over the past year on rising sales and a recently boosted dividend. Last summer, it introduced bullion to its familiar sprawling mix of huge jars of mayonnaise, bulk…
