Thinking about medium and long-term investment forces you to ask an uncomfortable question: what part of my wealth depends, day by day, on what the markets dictate? Simply put, in Spain a significant part of family financial savings is channeled into products linked to market performance — stocks, investment funds, or fixed income. The result is well known: the portfolio can go through periods of volatility when economic conditions change (inflation or interest rates) or geopolitical tensions arise that affect economies.
Planning the financial future also involves worrying about how to face the bumps that arise during working life and that often move the idea of the golden retirement further away. This is an area that generates great concern, especially in a world where changes happen at a rapid pace. An example of this is the reception received by initiatives such as those of labor lawyer Ignacio Solsona (Barcelona, 1985), known for his educational videos about retirement, pensions, and subsidies.
There are very few jazz musicians left who deserve to be considered giants. After the death, early this morning, of saxophonist Sonny Rollins, the representation of the golden era of the genre is limited to figures such as pianist Herbie Hancock (Chicago, 1940) or the…

Vacations, leisure, travel, or the maintenance of a second home increase expenses just at a time when the cost of living remains high. The feeling is repeated in thousands of households: saving is becoming increasingly difficult.
Scientists revealed this Monday the discovery of a new species of small blue octopus in the Galápagos archipelago, located about 1,000 kilometers from the Ecuadorian continental coasts and a Natural Heritage of Humanity since 1978.
María stopped eating bread two years ago. Then she eliminated sugar, the little beer with appetizers, and practically any ultra-processed food. She started walking 12,000 steps daily, stopped using the elevator to always take the stairs, and signed up for daily strength classes. Additionally, she bought a watch that measures her sleep and every morning checks an app that calculates her “biological age.” She is 66 years old and, yet, says she has never felt so afraid of aging.
That one of the most anticipated literary debuts of the year features a tradwife as the protagonist is not something that should be surprising. For those unfamiliar with the term, this anglicism is an abbreviation of traditional wife, or in other words, traditional housewife, and this is how Natalie Heller Mills, a character in the novel Yesteryear (AdN) by Caro Claire Burke, who has just arrived in bookstores stirring much excitement among readers, refers to herself. It is no wonder, as actress Anne Hathaway, who these days can be seen on the big screen starring in The Devil Wears Prada 2, has purchased the film rights to turn the novel into a movie, playing the role of Natalie herself.
