According to a study by the research firm Hearts & Wallets, 64% of burst savers were able to build a nest egg equal to at least 10 times their annual pay, a common benchmark for a financially secure retirement.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' marital status wasn't the only thing that changed when they signed their divorce agreement earlier this month. The lavish lifestyle of their daughter, Suri, has undergone a radical overhaul. Now that Suri is living with her mother in New York City on a full-time basis, the 6-year-old is being introduced to such things as — gasp! — taxi cabs, instead of chauffeur-driven cars, and commercial airlines, instead of private jets. It's a whole new world for the pampered tot.

Who’s Minding Michael’s Kids? Meet TJ Jackson, Their New Guardian
TJ Jackson
Move aside, Joe. There's a new paterfamilias in town, and his name is TJ Jackson —the 34-year-old who's just been appointed by an L.A. judge to be temporary guardian of his uncle Michael's three kids.
His initials stand for Tito Joseph, since this Jackson was named for both his father Tito and grandfather Joe. But they might as well stand for "Tough Job," given the seemingly insurmountable odds that TJ faces in helping restore any peace or sanity to the suddenly deeply riven Jackson clan.

Lose weight the right way by taking it slow
If you're in a hurry to lose weight, you're in a hurry to fail. You're either going to lose very little, or ride the yo-yo and get it all back and then some. I think the number one barrier to sustainable weight loss is lack of patience. But this isn't what people want to hear, so they buy quick-fix miracle cures by the boatload.

Grey divorce: How to protect your nest egg
When Al and Tipper Gore announced their divorce in 2010 after 40 years of marriage, they did more than shock most Americans. They also sparked new research out of Ohio's Bowling Green State University into the state of marital union among older couples. Mr. Gore might be a poster boy for environmentalism, but his split at age 62 (she was 61) has also made him a symbol of so-called "grey divorce".
Why men lose weight faster than women
Frustrating. Annoying. Unfair. That's how most women feel about the fact that men appear to have the magical ability to shed weight more rapidly and with seemingly less effort than women. It seems like the most men have to do to get back into their college-era jeans is cut beer out of their diet for a month and play a game or two of pick-up with the guys on Sunday afternoon.
Not so for the ladies who, to achieve similar results, are taking spin classes three times a week, eating hamburgers sans the tantalizing pretzel-bun, and living in abject terror of someone accidentally putting their jeans in the dryer (shrinkage, indeed).

The story of the first photograph ever posted on the web
This is the first photo that was ever posted to the web, beginning a long tradition of poorly Photoshop'd images and brightly coloured text floating above people's heads now found all over the Internet.

The photo depicts the all-female parody group Les Horribles Cernettes, four women who worked (or who were significant others of workers) at CERN and performed science-comedy songs in their spare time.

What's Behind The Record Heat?
Heat is beating records around the country: the first five months of 2012 have been the hottest on record in the contiguous United States. And that's not including June, when 164 all-time high temperature records were tied or broken around the country, according to government records.
That's unusual, since the most intense heat usually comes in July and August for much of the country, said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist with National Climatic Data Center. For example, only 47 all-time high records were tied or broken in June of last year.
