Costco is an amazing place to buy so many things, because they always manage to keep their prices low (it seems like sorcery, right?). But while there are a ton of things you should always buy at Costco, ground beef isn’t one of them. Now, this may come as a shock, because typically anything stamped with the Kirkland name is a great deal, but there are some solid reasons to give the ground beef a pass.

Keep in mind that this doesn’t apply to all the red meat at the big box store. In fact, Co...

As home prices and interest rates remain stubbornly high, the path to homeownership has become increasingly difficult for many Americans. (While mortgage rates have dropped some, they are still hovering near the 7% mark on average.) First-time buyers, in particular, are feeling squeezed as they are caught between limited inventory and monthly payments that could really strain their budgets.

Despite these hurdles, some cities still offer relatively affordable home prices when compared with th...

There’s so much to love about Costco, especially for drivers. Costco saves you money when buying new tires, has an auto insurance program for its members and can help you track down the best deal on a new car. But the main reason drivers love Costco is because of its cheap gas. Costco gas stations offer some of the lowest prices around on gas, and those savings really add up.

If you’re one of the many Costco members who always head to Costco to top up your tank, it’s time to get excited.

The concept of happiness—what it entails and how we achieve it—is highly subjective, and it’s commonly understood that what makes one person happy might not make another person happy. Factors such as religion, traditions, politics and personal history are major contributing factors. But we can all agree that where you live can make a big difference.

If you’ve never been to an Aldi, you are missing out. It’s the holy grail of grocery shopping: a discount store with surprisingly high-quality goods. (Fun fact: It’s owned by the same parent company as Trader Joe’s and carries many of the same products—just with different labels and lower prices.)

As much as I adore Aldi’s quirky layout and low prices, there’s sometimes a dark side to the experience: Some shoppers have bad grocery store etiquette that can turn the store’s smooth efficiency i...

Not surprisingly, roughly 75% of U.S. travelers rely on their smartphone as their primary tech companion to keep entertained—well ahead of laptops (17%), tablets or iPads (17%) and portable gaming consoles (8%).

Conveniently, this pocket- (or purse-) sized device is ideal for accessing maps and language translation apps, reading messages, playing games and listening to music and podcasts, and it even doubles as your boarding pass.

Unless you have a seat in first or business class, boarding and deplaning an aircraft can be stressful experiences. Because you’re so busy worrying about finding room in the overhead compartment and trying not to knock other passengers on the head with your personal item, you may not notice things like the plane’s interior color scheme. But if you pay attention the next time you board a plane, you’ll likely notice that its seats are blue.

Airline pilots may all look similar in their crisp white uniforms and winged pins, but take a closer look at a pilot’s shoulders and sometimes their sleeve cuffs. Yep, there it is: those subtle stripes adorning the uniform. 

You may just assume they’re a fashion statement or simply chalk them up to “tradition,” but they actually hold a significant meaning that’s related to how many stripes there are. That’s right—that number varies from pilot to pilot, and it’s not random.

Picture this: It’s the end of your vacation or business trip, and your hotel check-out is at 11 a.m., but your flight home isn’t until 5 or even 11 p.m. If you don’t want to explore for hours or sit in the lobby for the better part of the day and would prefer to stay in your hotel room, what are your options?

You’re driving along, lost in thought or singing to your favorite song, when your eyes drift to the rearview mirror … and there they are. Those thin, straight lines stretching across the back window like someone tried to underline the view. They’re always there, but why? And what are they, exactly?

They don’t seem purely decorative. They’re too neat, too purposeful. And they’re only on that one window—not the sides, not the front. So what gives? If you’ve ever wondered about this car window ...
