Fifteen percent of my employees were willing to share their stories. Some were hard to believe. Most…

The truth about ‘free’ solar panels Ads and promotional emails for free solar panels abound, but beware — unless you’ve received solar panels as a gift from a friend or charity, there are no solar panels out there just free for the taking.

Buying airfare has become a marathon of decision-making. Which airline do you prefer? Should you book in basic economy or main cabin? Do you want to pay for a window seat? Are free changes and cancellations a must? Increasingly, airlines are condensing this marathon of micro-decisions into a single choice between several “bundles,” which offer popular add-ons for one price.

The trouble with navigating these bundles and determining which ones are worth it and…

Still, student loan forgiveness is more accessible now than ever before. A handful of existing federal student loan forgiveness programs have erased $143.6 billion in student debt for 3.96 million borrowers as of March 21, according to the Education Department, with more to come this year.

NFL players will be sporting some new headgear in the 2024-2025 season. The league has introduced several new football helmets for players to choose from, five of which, it says, tested better in laboratory simulations than any previous helmets worn in the league. That, ideally, will offer players greater protection against head injuries, an ongoing concern among players and medical practitioners. In the 2023 pre-season and regular seasons, the NFL saw 219 concussions, a slight increase from 2022. Overall, the numbers are lower than a few years ago, but league officials have not been satisfied with the reduction. All totaled,…
