A Michigan retiree couple needs roughly $927,000 invested at a 4% withdrawal rate, versus $1.07 million in Florida.
Florida homeowners pay $8,471 yearly for insurance versus $2,415 in Michigan, a $6,000 gap that requires $151,000 in extra savings.
Michigan exempts Social Security and offers married couples a $128,080 retirement deduction, potentially zeroing state tax on a $37,000 IRA withdrawal.

Retiring to a lake town in Michigan or Wisconsin often raises questions about snow and winter conditions compared with a move to Florida. Winter is one factor in that comparison, but the rest of the picture gets mentioned less often: insurance, taxes, housing, and summers. This piece runs the numbers for a couple at full retirement age.

In-N-Out Burger may be expanding to three Southern states, the company's CEO said this month in a sit-down interview shared on social media.
The chain may be headed to Arkansas, Mississippi and Oklahoma, CEO Lynsi Snyder said in an interview with actor Terry Crews that In-N-Out shared on Facebook on Oct. 22 and on its website.
Snyder said the move to Texas in 2011 felt "very right," and that other nearby states may be next.
"There's some other states … that could be on the way," she said. "If you look on the map, you've got Texas, there's Arkansas, Mississippi, Oklahoma. There's some states there that are possibilities."
She also hinted at the chain having a location in New Mexico.

The world mourned the loss of Patrick Stewart on Thursday as the iconic actor passed at the age of 86 after a battle with Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy Body Dementia. Stewart was a prolific stage actor as well as taking on massive roles in both television and film. He played Captain Jean-Luc Picard for 176 episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, as well as starring as Professor X in eight X-Men movies -- including post-credit scenes and cameos -- across both the Fox and Marvel Cinematic universes (with the ninth coming this December with Avengers: Doomsday).
But one of the things that made Stewart so special and beloved was his willingness to do something goofy or funny. Such was the case in a 2024 Super Bowl commercial for Paramount+. Not only did Stewart star alongside well-known CBS and Paramount+ characters like Survivor's Jeff Probst, Knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog, daytime host Drew Barrymore and Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa.

It's a truly ridiculous commercial that features Stewart trying to convince Tagovailoa to throw Arnold of Hey Arnold! to the top of a mountain. "Not built for the moment, I see," Stewart delivers as if he's on stage in the West End.

We always need to remember that actors are not the characters they portray, no matter how well they sell the role. They're just acting, after all, not showing their true colors. So finding out an actor that normally plays villains is actually a decent person shouldn't be surprising.
And no, it isn't surprising, but it is incredibly funny. There may be something to someone needing to be nice and empathic enough to understand how evil someone can be. These are the actors that are often typecasted as villains, while being incredibly decent persons themselves.

From time to time, it can feel like a lot of our most beloved celebrities and historical figures are dying at the same time. It has happened so often that now people expect famous people to die in threes, even when there's no reason for that.
And while all deaths are equally sad, it's true that some of them get way more media coverage and reactions, especially in the modern internet era. Looking through history, you might notice that some figures didn't get the homages they deserved only because another, more relevant figure happened to die on the same day.
So, here are some historical deaths overshadowed by other, more important deaths.

Phoebe Dynevor became internationally famous through Bridgerton, and that sudden success also brought increased attention to her personal life. The British actress has experienced everything from relatively private relationships to a highly publicized romance followed by photographers and tabloids. Over time, however, Dynevor has become increasingly careful about separating her career from her relationships. Her romantic history has included actors and figures outside the entertainment spotlight, but her relationship with Cameron Fuller ultimately became the most significant chapter. After beginning their romance in 2023, the couple became engaged and later married.
Before Bridgerton transformed her public profile, Dynevor was linked to several men, including British actor Sean Teale and executive Simon Merrill. These relationships attracted comparatively limited attention, partly because they occurred before she became internationally recognizable as Daphne Bridgerton. The success of the Netflix period drama dramatically changed the amount of interest surrounding her life away from the screen.
That became especially clear in 2021, when Dynevor dated American comedian Pete Davidson. Their relationship generated intense media attention as the pair were photographed together and followed by celebrity publications. Dynevor later reflected on the experience of suddenly having strangers interested in something she considered an ordinary part of being a young woman. The relationship ended after several months, with their demanding schedules and distance widely reported as challenges.
A quieter chapter began when Dynevor was linked to actor and producer Cameron Fuller in 2023. The pair initially kept much of their relationship away from public attention, although they gradually began appearing together at events. Fuller comes from an entertainment industry family and has worked both in front of and behind the camera.
Their relationship reached another milestone in 2024. Dynevor attended the Met Gala wearing a pale pink Victoria Beckham gown and revealed a diamond ring on her left hand, bringing widespread attention to their engagement. Fuller and Dynevor largely continued their low key approach afterward rather than turning their wedding preparations into a constant public storyline.

Brad Pitt has found a surprising lesson in survival, one that has little to do with Hollywood or the physical challenges of his latest film.
As the actor reflected on the painful period surrounding his divorce from Angelina Jolie while promoting his survival thriller "Heart of the Beast," he credited the people who helped him endure it.
Filming a wilderness survival thriller also gave him a fresh perspective on navigating personal upheaval, rebuilding his footing, and taking life one small victory at a time.

For Brad Pitt, getting through life's hardest moments was not about maintaining a polished public image or pretending he could handle everything alone.

The story for the 49ers entering the season was injuries, right down to head coach Kyle Shanahan. The story since the start of the season has been success.
While injuries certainly have been a factor for the 'Niners, from Nick Bosa to De'Zhaun Stribling and Deebo Samuel, Shanahan's group has found a way to thrive in spite of them. After the 49ers won in Seattle in Week 5, the NFC West could just be a race for second behind San Francisco.
On the other side of the country, the Commanders have managed just one win in five games. That doesn't mean they have four losses, though. Washington settled for a tie in Week 5, after a disastrous final sequence that largely remains unexplained. Coach Dan Quinn said after the game that it felt like a loss, and it's hard to argue with that.
Going on the road and handing the 49ers their first loss would unquestionably be a win, though. The upset-minded Commanders are hoping to channel last weekend's frustration and leave the west coast feeling like they can compete in a wide-open NFC East race.

With less than two weeks left in the regular season for the New Jersey non-public schools (public schools end this week), it's safe to say nothing has been decided when it comes to the playoff seeds.
Remember, the non-public A and B playoffs in New Jersey are seeded by a committee, not power points/OSI magic. It's a small committee made up of representatives from across the state.
And I want to be clear about something else: This is how I think the seeding committee will do it. This isn't necessarily how I would do it. In years past, the committee has strongly favored head-to-head outcomes, not full resumes or tradition or injuries or anything like that. Once again, there is no written criteria. It's people in a room talking football at NJSIAA Headquarters in Robbinsville.
However, this year, the committee may have no choice but to look at a lot of other factors other than head-to-head. Why? Because the head-to-head results don't make sense.
Who do you seed where with Seton Hall Prep beating St. Joe's who beat St. Peter's who beat Seton Hall Prep? And by the way, Seton Hall Prep lost to Pope John.

WEST LAFAYETTE — You can call Purdue basketball's 87-55 exhibition victory over Ball State on Sunday a soft opening.
Rehearsals for the regular season continue, and roles remain up for grabs on a remade roster. The vibe around the 11 Boilermakers who shared relatively equal minutes, though, remains one of anticipation for what lies ahead.
You may need to give this new cast some time to come together. Those players – some character actors vying to become stars, some understudies stepping into the spotlight for the first time – like where this is headed.
They cannot offer the **** urance which comes with returning Final Four starters, roles chiseled in stone and championship expectations set as an afterthought. What was on display Sunday, though, was a new and different energy – one with unrealized upside.
"I feel that's what makes this team good and makes this team different, is the balance we have between all our guards and our bigs," redshirt freshman guard Antione West Jr. said. "Everybody brings something. There's no weak points or anything we lack in our guards, so it just brings a sense of balance. I think that's our identity."

INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Pacers are ready to put the 2025-26 season behind them. It was a season filled with too many injuries to count, with a bleak 19-63 record.
But the Pacers are healthy again. Tyrese Haliburton is back, Ivica Zubac is healthy again, and the entire starting five has finally had time to gel throughout training camp practices.
Whether they can stay healthy, however, could define their season once again.

76ers' fatal flaw that will doom 2027 NBA championship chances appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
While the New York Knicks are the defending NBA champions and they should raise their championship banner with the confidence that comes with winning the franchise's first **** le in 53 years, the Philadelphia 76ers appear to be in a position to steal their thunder.
After adding Jaylen Brown and LeBron James in the offseason, the Sixers are the team that **** ody will be able to take their eyes off of as the season gets underway. Many observers believe this dynamic team — that also includes Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and VJ Edgecombe — will be the best in the league.
When it comes to flat-out talent, the Sixers certainly will be able to make a great argument. But things like chemistry, familiarity and defense will also have an impact. One or more of those factors could scuttle Philadelphia's plans to become the best team in the Eastern Conference and the next NBA champions.

The controversy surrounding Farid Basharat's UFC release continues to grow, with the former bantamweight now hitting back at Dana White's remarks. The 29-year-old was let go despite remaining unbeaten, finishing his UFC run with a perfect 7-0 record and an overall MMA record of 16-0.
One of the biggest talking points since Basharat's release has been his lack of finishes. Six of his seven UFC victories came by decision, but he consistently got the job done against tough competition. His most recent outing was a win over John Garza in July, adding to a resume that includes victories over Jean Matsumoto, Chris Gutierrez, and Taylor Lapilus.
White was asked why Basharat was not offered a new contract during the UFC Edmonton post-fight press conference. The UFC CEO suggested that a fighter's record is not always the only factor behind such decisions, pointing to possible issues with the matchmakers and fighters turning down bouts. He also hinted that there was a specific reason Basharat was not brought back.
Dana White hints there may be MORE to Farid Basharat’s UFC exit
“If you’re 16-0 with seven wins in the UFC and don’t get re-signed, there’s definitely a reason.”

Ben Simmons was on the way to making his big NBA comeback this season, but injury has crushed those hopes. The former All-Star isn't losing hope, though.
Ben Simmons' career has been a strange one, full of some unexpected twists and turns. The 30-year-old has been an All-Star three times during his younger days, but he was also effectively out of the NBA entirely last season.
There has been a lot of optimistic noise around Simmons this year. The Sacramento Kings signed him and he was supposed to come back at an incredibly high level. Just a few days before the NBA season begins, though, Simmons has suffered another major injury setback.
News reports on Sunday revealed something which anyone who hears about it will find quite cruel. After all the work that Simmons has put in this offseason, a torn Achilles has now ended his season before it even begins. Injury issues have been a big factor in the downfall of his career.
Any other player might just give up in this spot, but it seems Simmons isn't ready to call it just yet. He took to social media to share a message with his followers.

The Chicago Bears bounced back from a loss to the Packers in Week 5 with a win over Atlanta that has fans thinking NFC North ******* le again.

"I was watching John Wick for this week. One of my people reached out to him and he was a fan…I'm inevitable. That's always my mentality," Williams said.

Michael Douglas has finally revealed why he refused to appear on David Letterman's talk show for almost two decades.
In his new memoir One ****** uva Ride, the Wall Street actor recounted how he had promoted various projects on the Late Show with David Letterman.
"I had been a regular guest on Letterman's show earlier in my career, but the last time I was on, I felt David went too far," he shared.
Douglas went on to recall how Letterman had played "without warning" a TV commercial that his actress mother, Diana Dill, had appeared in.
"(Letterman) started grilling me about it. It felt like he was making fun of my mother," the 82-year-old continued. "(That appearance) left me feeling like he had a real nasty sense of humour... After that, whenever the producers of the show requested to have me back on, I always refused. I said no for 18 straight years. Dave wrote me personal letters to apologise, but my feelings didn't change. He had crossed a line."
However, Douglas decided to "bury the hatchet" and announce that he was battling advanced tongue cancer during an interview on the Late Show with David Letterman while promoting his movie Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps in 2010. He has since recovered from the cancer after undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
