There was a time about 17 years ago when I thought I would scream if I heard it one more time. After all, those of us who've fallen behind in contributions to a retirement plan know we should have had all our ducks in a row ea...
"The best time to begin saving for retirement was 20 years ago. The second-best time is today." If that oft-repeated sentiment causes an involuntary eye roll, join the club. There was a time about 17 years ago when I thought I would scream if I heard it one more time. After all, those of us who've fallen behind in contributions to a retirement plan know we should have had all our ducks in a row earlier. We don't need to be reminded. Here's what worked for my husband and me. Continue reading

Saudi Aramco reported a 26% increase in first-quarter profit as a war-induced rise in oil prices helped counter lower exports. Adjusted net income rose to almost 126 billion riyals ($33.6 billion) in the quarter compared with a a year earlier, according to a statement Sunday.

Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf nations such as the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq have also been forced to cut production because of attacks on fields and storage space filling up.
