I’m one of those people who gets to the airport early just to browse duty-free. I even choose my layovers on the quality of shops (and dining options.) Even if you’re window shopping luxe goods, a good selection of shops can make the most of airport downtime. And although we can find good sales online these days, you can still save on things like electronics, perfumes, and cosmetic bundles. If you’re looking for a good deal, some airports have better shopping facilities than others. Many are inexcusably poor — I’m looking at you, LAX, and then there’s the likes of Singapore Changi and Amsterdam Schiphol that transport you to a department store like the toy shop from Miracle on 34th Street.

Social Security COLAs are designed to protect the buying power of benefits, but many retirees are reportedly struggling with rising prices.

When an engaged couple is orchestrating their wedding, it’s essential that both parties are on the same page about all of the big-day details. In order to have a smooth planning experience—and to set the tone for their upcoming marriage—constant communication and collaboration are key.

Many of us treat our passports as one of our most cherished possessions, and honestly, why not? Regardless of how powerful your passport is, it serves as our literal pass to enter other countries, including back to our own. Some folks even slap on fancy passport covers they spent money on for extra protection, while others fuss over looking nice in their passport photos since they usually last a decade and function as a valid form of identification, too.

Unfortunately, the days of collecting them are dwindling as more countries go digital.
