One of the biggest myths in the context of retirement is that all your expenses will magically decrease once your career comes to an end. But if there's one expense that's likely to increase in retirement, it's healthcare. Of course, healthcare isn't exactly a negotiable expense. If there are medications you need to take to stay healthy, you can't just skip them without consequences. And if you need diagnostic testing that results in a large bill, there's not much to do about it if you don't want to risk your health. Image source: Getty Images. Continue reading

Moscow Repels Another Large-Scale Ukrainian Drone Attack, Flights Briefly Grounded Russian officials are describing a large-scale Ukrainian drone attack targeting the capital of Moscow on Sunday. While not the first time, such aerial assaults so deep in Russian territory have remained somewhat rare. Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said Sunday afternoon that Russian air defenses intercepted 13 drones headed for the capital , as regional officials reported a sweeping wave of UAV attacks across western Russia - including hundreds of UAVs in total. Standard Ukrainian drone, via the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine In mid-afternoon local time, Sobyanin announced that a drone approaching Moscow had been shot down. Within an hour later he described that air defenses had destroyed a total of 13 UAVs targeting the capital area . Emergency crews were dispatched to sites where debris fell, he detailed in the aftermath. State-aligned outlet RIA Novosti reported that Domodedovo airport briefly halted arrivals and departures amid the threat before operations resumed. The past year has seen increasing delays and stoppages at major aviation hubs across the Moscow region , leading to frequent delays and flight cancelations, also as frustration among Russian travelers grows. In the border area Bryansk Oblast, Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz described the region had been under sustained drone assault since early morning. He said 120 UAVs had been downed over the territory. As for details of the assault on southern Russia - which has become almost a nightly reality - Russia's Defense Ministry stated that in the morning hours, air defenses intercepted 102 Ukrainian fixed-wing drones over Bryansk, Kaluga, and Tula oblasts, as well as over the Moscow region - including three allegedly flying toward the capital. Repeat drone attacks on Moscow could result in the Russian military upping its own attacks on the Ukrainian capital, which will leave Kyiv Oblast further without power, after a...

New Zealand infant formula distributor a2 Milk boosted first-half earnings and raised full-year revenue guidance as sales in China continue to strengthen. Net income from continuing operations rose 9.4% to NZ$112.1 million ($68 million), the company reported Monday in Wellington. Revenue jumped 19% to NZ$993 million and the company now forecasts a mid double-digit percentage increase in full-year revenue — previously low double-digit. “Our upgraded outlook means we are now on track to achieve our NZ$2 billion medium-term sales ambition in FY26, a full year ahead of plan,” said Chief Executive Officer David Bortolussi . “Infant milk formula remains central to our growth strategy and continues to outperform the China market.” Sales in the key China formula market increased, boosted by increased birth rates in 2024, allowing the company to increase market share. While there were fewer newborns in 2025, that trend is expected to reverse reflecting a recovery in marriage rates and from the greater focus on birth rate stabilization which is explicitly listed as a government policy, the company said.
