Figuring out when you can afford to retire often comes down to determining whether your ******* ets will produce enough annual income to support your lifestyle and spending needs.
With $500,000 in a Roth IRA and $2,000 in combined monthly Social Security and pension payments, you may be able to afford to retire at age 62. However, that will mean living on approximately $44,000 per year. Some retirees may be satisfied with this level of income, but it may not support you adequately if you plan to do a lot of traveling or live in a high-cost area.
Before making the decision to stop working at 62, you'll also need to develop a plan for paying for health insurance since you won't be eligible for Medicare until age 65.
If you need help deciding when to retire, connect with a financial advisor and have them build you an income plan based on your unique financial situation.

When menopause comes knocking, it brings a metabolic nosedive and weakened muscles along with it. Those two go hand in hand (we'll explain in a minute) but the upshot is a host of joint and muscle injuries you might not realize are hormonal. Back in 2019, Shania Twain was in the same boat.
At the time, Twain was doing a residency in Las Vegas and experiencing what she now realizes was a "raging period of menopause," the singer revealed to People. In the new cover story, Shania shares that she was dehydrated and undernourished from not eating enough protein and lacking key nutrients.

CEUTA, Spain (AP) — Thousands of migrants streamed into the tiny Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco on Thursday, prompting local officials to call on Spain to declare a national emergency and send the army to restore the frontier.
Spain's interior ministry said it would guarantee the safety of citizens and the integrity of the nation's border, but that the government could not declare a national emergency over migration concerns.
Video footage showed crowds of people, mainly Moroccans, walking around the breakwaters at Tarajal beach onto local roads. While the majority appeared to be young men, there were also families with women and children. "Viva España!" some shouted to a freelance photographer working for The ***** ociated Press.
Spain is a main point of arrival into Europe for migrants seeking better economic opportunities or an escape from violence in their home countries.
The escalation at the border between Spain and Morocco comes after a surge in migrants attempting to reach the small exclave, mainly by swimming.

NEW DELHI: Ajinkya Rahane on Thursday announced his retirement from international cricket, bringing the curtain down on a career that spanned more than a decade. The veteran batter took to Instagram to share the news through an emotional video message. Rahane struggled to hold back his tears as he bid farewell to international cricket, thanking fans for their constant support throughout his journey.
The right-handed batter made his India debut against England in 2011 and went on to play 85 Tests, 90 ODIs and 20 T20Is. His last appearance for India came during the 2023 Test series against the West Indies.
Rahane signed off his Test career with 5,077 runs at an average of 38.46, including 12 centuries and 26 half-centuries. In 90 ODIs, he scored 2,962 runs at 35.26, with three centuries and 24 fifties, while he made 375 runs in 20 T20Is.
"The reality of life is that everything has a beginning, and everything has an end. When that time comes, you simply have to respect it and move forward. I always relied on timing in my batting, and I've always understood its important," Rahane said in a video message on his Instagram account.
"Today, I feel the timing is right for me to move on and announce my requirement from international cricket, and all formats," he added in the clip that was captioned "Cap number 278, signing off".
One of the defining moments of Rahane's career came during India's historic 2020-21 Test series win in Australia. Standing in as captain for Virat Kohli, he led an injury-hit Indian side to a memorable 2-1 series victory.
"From those early days, travelling from Dombivali as a young boy, just to practice, I gave this game everything I had. Every single day, every innings, every opportunity I got to bat, the dream was always to wear the India cap," he said in his farewell message.
Rahane also said that although his international career has ended, he will continue to remain involved with the game.
"I lived by one single rule, only support my country and my team ahead of myself. I played this game with complete honesty, and I always believe that if your intent is right, the game will always take care of you," Rahane said.
"Since the time I made my debut as a First-Class cricketer, Indian cricket has grown tremendously and I feel so proud to have been a part of over the last 20 years.
"While my chapter, as an Indian cricketer, comes to an end, my journey with the game doesn't. I look forward to helping the next generation, sharing the values, the sport has taught me, and giving back to the game that has given me everything," he said.
Ending on an emotional note, Rahane reflected on the lessons cricket had taught him, saying that while his name means "unbeatable", the sport has shown him the value of accepting defeat.
"There have been many wins and losses along the way, but the sheer joy of playing cricket, being part of different teams, and creating lifelong memories, that has been the greatest sati

Speaking to Bild, Mainz sporting director Christian Heidel gave his thoughts on the growing interest in the ****** anese international.
"We don't have to sell Kaishu and can afford to keep him. If he stays, there will be a lot of happy people in the team, at the club, and around it," Heidel said.
However, he admitted that Mainz would have to consider a sale if an offer that was too good to refuse arrived.
"It's always the same at Mainz 05. If an offer comes in that leaves us gasping for air, we have to think about it," Heidel said.

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is reportedly set to make a shock exit from St James' Park, with Al-Ahli boss Matthias Jaissle lined up to take charge of the Premier League club.
Howe's stunning departure comes less than a month before the start of the new Premier League season and Newcastle have moved quickly to line up German coach Jaissle as his replacement.
Howe is believed to have become disillusioned with Newcastle's transfer policy, while his position was already under scrutiny from the club's Saudi owners after a disappointing campaign last season.
The 48-year-old is said to have told Newcastle's hierarchy that he wanted to quit earlier in July to take a break from football, but he was persuaded to stay on while they identified his successor.
Jaissle would be a surprise choice to replace Howe given his lack of experience at the highest level.

NEW DELHI: Ajinkya Rahane never sought the spotlight. In an era dominated by classy stroke-makers and larger-than-life personalities, he quietly built a reputation as one of India's most dependable overseas batters and one of the country's most respected leaders.
On Thursday, the 38-year-old brought the curtain down on his international career, ending a journey that spanned more than a decade and produced some of Indian cricket's most memorable moments.
Having played 85 Tests, 90 ODIs and 20 T20Is, Rahane finished with 8,414 international runs, 15 centuries and 51 half-centuries. Yet, numbers only tell part of his story.
"The reality of life is that everything has a beginning, and everything has an end. When that time comes, you simply have to respect it and move forward. I always relied on timing in my batting, and I've always understood its important," Rahane said in his retirement video.
If there is one chapter that defines Rahane's legacy, it is India's remarkable 2020-21 Test series win in Australia.
After India were bowled out for 36 in Adelaide and Virat Kohli returned home on paternity leave, few believed the injury-hit side could compete, let alone win.
Rahane stepped in as captain and led a depleted Indian team to a stunning 2-1 series victory, one of the greatest triumphs in Indian cricket history.
His century in the Boxing Day Test at Melbourne not only rescued India's campaign but also made him the only Indian to score a Boxing Day Test hundred against Australia both as a player and as captain.
Under his leadership, India never lost a Test match, making his captaincy record (6 matches with 4 wins and 2 draws) one of the finest in Indian cricket.
Rahane earned a reputation for producing his best performances away from home. He became the first Indian batter to score both his maiden Test and ODI centuries in SENA countries, proving his ability to thrive in the toughest conditions.
His 12 Test hundreds often came in pressure situations, and remarkably, India never lost a Test whenever Rahane scored a century. He was also the first Indian to score a century in the World Test Championship, adding another milestone to an already impressive career.
One of his finest individual performances came against South Africa when he became the only Indian batter to score centuries in both innings of a Test while batting at No. 5 or lower.

A New Orleans Saints fan favorite is heading elsewhere. Taysom Hill, the do-it-all athlete who played everything from quarterback to special teams, announced Wednesday night he's leaving the Saints after nine seasons.
Hill developed into one of the NFL's most exciting and unique players under longtime Saints coach Sean Payton, making starts at quarterback, tight end and fullback while also playing snaps at wide receiver and running back. He finishes his Saints career 7-2 as a starting QB, and over 118 games he recorded 2,426 and 12 touchdowns passing plus 3,585 yards and 45 touchdowns rushing and receiving.
Kellen Moore took over the Saints in 2025 and Hill's role diminished significantly, so this move doesn't come at a complete shock.
In a statement shared on social media, Hill thanked New Orleans for its support and said he's "still working through what comes next" in regard to his career.
"I had always heard, 'If you love New Orleans, New Orleans will love you back,'" Hill's statement read. "That could not have been more true. You exceeded every expectation I had of what it would be like to live and play in a city. The passion, loyalty, and support you showed my family and me over these nine seasons were truly one of a kind."

Ben: Eddie Howe gave Newcastle its spark back - hauling the club out of the relegation scrap, delivering that unforgettable Champions League return, rebuilding players who looked finished, and serving up some of the most fearless football St James' Park has seen in years. His time was full of graft, pride and proper memories, and whatever comes next, he's earned every bit of respect in Newcastle. Local hero.
Roger: This is a total disaster. For years Eddie Howe has been the cool headed master tactician and inspiration of the club's success. He will be difficult to replace. Right now Newcastle look like a serious relegation prospect.

NEW DELHI: Former India captain Ajinkya Rahane has announced his retirement from international cricket.
Rahane shared the news through a post on Instagram, where he uploaded a video message with the caption: "Cap 278 signing off".
"Thank you for all the love and support over the years. Forever grateful," Rahane wrote in his post.
"The reality of life is that everything has a beginning and everything has an end. When the time comes, you simply have to respect it and move forward. I have always relied on timing in my batting and have always understood its importance," Rahane said.
"Today, I feel the timing is right for me to move on and announce my retirement from international cricket and all formats. From those early days, travelling as a young boy just to practice, I gave this game everything I had. Every single day, every innings, every opportunity I got to bat, the dream was always to wear the India cap," he added.
"I lived by one simple rule. Always put my country and my team ahead of myself. I played this game with complete honesty and I have always believed that if your intent is right, the game will always take care of you," the veteran cricketer said.
"Since the time I made my debut as a first-class cricketer, Indian cricket has grown tremendously and I feel so proud to have been a part of it over the last 20 years. While my chapter as an Indian cricketer comes to an end, my journey with the game doesn't. I look forward to helping the next generation, sharing the values this sport has taught me and giving back to the game that has given me everything," he said.
Rahane also thanked the BCCI, Mumbai Cricket ***** ociation (MCA), his teammates, coaches, IPL franchises, family, friends and fans for their support throughout his career.
"And a very special thank you to all the cricket fans who supported me through every high and low. Ajinkya means unbeatable, but cricket has shown me defeat many times. As cricketers, we fail more often than we succeed. My team has lost matches. I have made mistakes, but there is one place where I was never defeated. And that was in your hearts. Thank you for your love, your faith and your support. Cap number 278, signing off," Rahane concluded
The 36-year-old represented India in all three formats during his international career. He played 85 Test matches, 90 ODIs and 20 T20Is.
The right-handed batter scored 5,077 runs in Tests at 38.46 with 12 centuries and 26 fifties, while in 90 ODIs, he made 2,962 runs at 35.26 including three tons and 24 fifties. In 20 T20Is, Rahane made 375 runs.

Rahane's biggest moment came in 2021 when he famously stood in for regular skipper Virat Kohli as a heavily depleted India defeated Australia in their own backyard 2-1.

Two teenage girls claimed that Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton shouted and used profanity toward them Tuesday night over signs they brought supporting Sophie Cunningham after her very public opposition to transgender women competing in women's sports. Cunningham has now responded publicly to the incident, but fans are not happy at her continued stance against transgender athletes.
In a statement shared on social media, Cunningham described Keaton's behavior as "truly embarrassing," while commending the teenage girls for standing by their beliefs and promising to send them gifts. However, fans were quick to express their displeasure at Cunningham's latest post.
Following Tuesday night's game, the two teenage fans said they were confronted by a woman they identified as Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Keaton, alleging she was "screaming and cussing" at them because of signs expressing support for Cunningham.
"Well, we were just sitting there with our signs that said like, 'We love Sophie,' like, 'Thank you Sophie for speaking up,'" one of the young girls recounted, via Brandi Kruse. "And so we were holding on, just watching the game, again, like, we were being super great, we hadn't said anything to anyone else, we were being super respectful, we were just holding our signs and cheering for both teams, and this lady, older lady comes up to us."
According to the teenager, the encounter was so upsetting that it brought her to tears.

Citigroup (C) just gave income investors a fresh reason to look its way. On July 21, the bank announced a quarterly dividend of $0.67 per share to be paid on Aug. 28, 2026, to shareholders on record as of Aug. 3. That's an 11.7% increase from the previous $0.60 payout, and it comes right after Citigroup reported its strongest quarterly revenue in about a decade.
This didn't happen by chance. In its second-quarter 2026 earnings release, Citigroup posted $5.8 billion in net income and $24.77 billion in revenue, both ahead of expectations, while return on tangible common equity rose to 13%.

Following the Jacksonville Jaguars' first training camp practice, there were some noteworthy observations made when it comes to a few key positional battles that will unfold over the next month.
At running back, Bhayshul Tuten continues to seemingly have a firm grasp on the RB1 role. John Shipley of Jaguars on SI wrote that Tuten was "the most impressive offensive player" on Day 1 of training camp.
Chris Rodriguez, meanwhile, is back at practice after being sidelined during offseason programs with a foot injury, but he's going through a ramp-up, only participating in individual drills on Wednesday. This allowed Tuten to, again, take the bulk of the first-team reps.
The ****** umption all offseason has been that Ventrell Miller will take over the starting linebacker role following Devin Lloyd's departure -- and that could still be what happens. That said, Miller is going to have to earn that ****** le first.
Second-year linebacker Branson Combs has been pushing Miller for those starting snaps, with Shipley calling it a "true battle."

It's trade deadline season, and though this has been a tame deadline period so far, the continuous swirl of rumors and (eventually) actual transactions will be the focus of much of the baseball world in the coming days. Yesterday, we discussed which players the Yankees were most likely to move, and today, we ask: what weakness do the Yankees most need to address, and which one are they most likely to address?
The answer to this question has been fluid throughout the year. Early on, it seemed obvious to most that the Yankees would need to make big additions to their bullpen, yet here we are at the end of July, and the Yankee relief corps has the second-best ERA in the majors. Paul Blackburn has proven to be the second coming of Luke Weaver, Brent Headrick almost never allows runs, David Bednar has been the top-tier closer the team envisioned, and Matt Blake's latest reclamation project, Angel Chivilli, has looked dynamite since his most recent call-up. Add in the fact that players like Will Warren and Ryan Weathers (and perhaps Carlos Lagrange?) could get shifted to the bullpen if they're not traded, and the unit looks like an area of strength, not weakness.
At other times, the matter of the infield appeared to be most pressing. Ryan McMahon and Jazz Chisholm Jr. each got off to nightmarish starts, and the shortstop duo of Anthony Volpe and José Caballero has had its ups and downs. But even on the dirt, things don't look nearly as shaky as they did two or three months ago. Since seeing his OPS bottom out at .498 on April 22nd, Chisholm has played exactly as expected, with a .239/.309/.463 slash line and 16 homers plus 21 steals. McMahon has run a roughly .750 OPS over the last two months while bringing his usual quality defense at third base. And despite his penchant for high-profile miscues, Volpe's combination of high-OBP and good range at short has made him a valuable contributor.
Then, there's the most obvious need now, at catcher, with Yankee backstops having combined to "hit" .181/.261/.284. But even adding a catcher comes with major complications, as most teams are loath to make significant changes to their caching room midseason. For as awful as Austin Wells and Co. have been with the bat this year, a catcher's primary job is to catch, to field his position, to manage his pitching staff. The Yankee backstops have done that portion of their job with aplomb this year (it's probably not a coincidence that the Yankees prioritize defense at catcher and have the best team ERA in baseball), and it's not trivial to just add a plus bat to that room without shaking things up on the run-prevention front.
Add it all up, and it leaves the Yankee roster in a weird spot heading into a crucial deadline. The roster has been slammed by injuries and has some seemingly clear places to upgrade, but actually making those upgrades is less straightforward than it might appear. What do you think? Where are the Yankees most likely to make moves in the next four

Once again, Eddie Howe can be bracketed alongside two of Tyneside's favourite faces. This time, however, it is in less enviable fashion. Sir Bobby Robson and Kevin Keegan left Newcastle suddenly in late summers, decisions seemingly taken at the wrong time plunging them into transition and trouble. At least, unlike a couple of distinguished predecessors, Howe has gone before a season has started and not after a few games.
But it is less than four weeks before it begins, following a 4-1 friendly defeat to Bristol City, when it seems the team Howe built is falling apart. Howe was a transformative and a terrific Newcastle manager, but the danger is his five-year reign comes to be the anomaly in their recent history, a period of achievement surrounded by the underachievement.
Howe did something even Robson and Keegan could not and took a trophy to Tyneside: Newcastle's first since 1969, their first in English football in seven decades. Go back 17 months, to the day they won the Carabao Cup, and Howe was asked about getting his own statue at St James' Park. With characteristic modesty, he deflected the questions. Was he, he was asked, a legend? "We don't put ourselves in that bracket," he said. "We will let other people decide that when we are long gone."

Utah and Brigham Young are the flagship universities in the Beehive State. Most of the success in college athletics comes from those two schools. However, there are five other institutions in the state that play in Division I that are worthy of attention.
Yes, the exercise of recognizing the 10 greatest college athletes who played in Utah is going to focus on the Utes and Cougars, who both have taken a circuitous patch to eventually reach their current membership in the Big 12 Conference. The Cougars boast a Heisman Trophy winner and several other well-known quarterbacks. The Utes have their own notable success in multiple sports.

But the list is also going to include some other standouts who didn't play on the biggest stage in the state. Utah State and Weber State respectively produced a Pro Football Hall of Famer who also gained notoriety outside the sporting world and a future Basketball Hall of Famer.
The only Heisman Trophy winner from one of Utah's schools, Detmer was one of the most prolific passers in college football history. He threw for 15,031 yards and 121 touchdowns while setting 59 NCAA records in his time with the Cougars. His biggest moment from the 1990 season came against No. 1 Miami when he passed for 406 yards in an upset of the Hurricanes that kick-started his Heisman run.

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Tamim Iqbal remains hopeful that India will travel to Bangladesh for the scheduled white-ball series in September 2026. The six-match series, comprising three ODIs and three T20Is, is still uncertain due to several factors. However, Tamim said discussions are underway with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), and the Bangladesh board is making efforts to ensure the series takes place.
"Unfortunately, I don't have any news regarding the India series. I am in discussions with the BCCI and there's an exchange of emails happening between BCB members, and we are trying from all quarters," Tamim was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
"Bangladesh's series against India, the excitement is at a different level, I'm sure from journalists, from fans, cricketers, everyone," he said.
India last toured Bangladesh in 2022 for a two-match Test series, where they registered a 2-0 clean sweep.
The BCB president admitted that while he is working towards bringing India to Bangladesh, there are certain matters that are beyond his control.
"Bangladesh is an extremely safe country, and I am very hopeful that they will come. Whatever steps need to be taken from our side, we are trying," he added.
"I am the BCB president, and there is also a line that I should never cross. So from my position, whatever is possible to do within my responsibility, I am talking to people, I am trying to tell them what advantages there are with the India series and all those things," Tamim said.
"There are certain things that are beyond my control. The discussions I've had so far have been very positive discussions. They also have to make a decision. Very soon, perhaps, we will find out whether the series is happening or not. So we will know very soon," he added.
The proposed series comes at a time when cricket ties between India and Bangladesh have faced challenges.
India had decided against travelling to Bangladesh for the T20 World Cup due to security concerns during the previous government led by Muhammad Yunus. The decision had created uncertainty over future bilateral cricket engagements between the two nations.
However, recent geopolitical developments have renewed hopes that India's tour of Bangladesh could go ahead as scheduled.

After trying Meta Platforms' (META) AI glasses lineup, Wall Street ****** ysts have turned bullish on the company's hardware ambitions, a possible change of heart considering how much money Meta has lost on Reality Labs and virtual reality (VR). Improved cameras, comfortability, and enhanced audio were the main drivers of the positive reception. Jefferies ****** ysts believe the glasses could become a real new growth driver for the company after testing the Ray-Ban Meta Gen2, Oakley Meta, and Ray-Ban Display. But what caught my attention was not hidden in the product notes — it was in the price tags of $379, $499, and $799, respectively. This pricing points to a long-term strategy designed to generate repeat purchases over years, not a single sale.
Starting with the entry point, the Ray-Ban Meta Gen2 is only voice-first, camera-equipped, and with no display. Next, the Oakley Meta at $499 pushes into a sportier niche at a slightly higher price. Finally, at $799, the Ray-Ban Display with Neural band is Meta's top-of-the-line model — the only one with an actual screen and gesture control. This product lineup clearly shows something that Meta is trying to build on: Pulling customers up the ladder over successive purchases rather than selling them a single product once.
