Do you need to be a millionaire to retire? Experts weigh in on the 15% rule. Ivana Pino Senior Writer Wed, September 9, 2026 at 8:03 AM PDT 6 min read With so many guidelines around saving for retirement best practices, where to put your savings, and how much to save it can be difficult to know which path to take. The advice usually goes something like this: Save a certain percentage of your income throughout your career, and your retirement fund could be somewhere in the millions. T. Rowe Price and Fidelity both recommend that retirement savers put away at least 15% of their income, while Vanguard recommends 12% to 15%. This all sounds great in theory, but if you're earning an average salary, it could feel like a reach. However, experts say it may not be. How much do you need to earn to retire as a millionaire?

What is the 'Lean FIRE' movement, and how can it help you reach financial independence? Ivana Pino Senior Writer Wed, September 9, 2026 at 7:34 AM PDT 5 min read If you've dreamed of retiring early but don't have the financial means to build a massive retirement portfolio, you may be a candidate for the Lean FIRE movement. Instead of building a bigger nest egg to support an expensive lifestyle, Lean FIRE encourages keeping your spending low so you need less to become financially independent. For those willing to embrace a more frugal lifestyle, that could put early retirement within reach sooner. Here's a closer look at how Lean FIRE works and whether it's a realistic goal for you.

U.S. President Donald Trump said he has no regrets about starting the Iran war and added that "If I had it to do again, I would do exactly what I did." Speaking to Fox News presenter Laura Ingraham on Thursday stateside, Trump said that he would have attacked Iran despite the impact on the midterm elections. "If we hadn't done Iran, you would be cruising to midterms victory right now," Ingraham told Trump, to which Trump replied "supposing we were cruising, and all of a sudden Iran has a nuclear weapon. They would use it." He added that if Iran had a nuclear weapon, the Islamic Republic would "wipe out" Israel and the Middle East, and start hitting U.S. cities. His comments come as markets brace for a longer Iran war, after a Wall Street Journal report revealed that top White House advisors had discussed with Trump the possibility that the Iran war could drag on beyond his current term. Trump has said that the war will end immediately after ...

Image source, Molly Haylett Image caption, Molly and Taylor met in their 20s and how they organise money as a couple has changed over time By Yasmin Rufo Business reporter Published 1 hour ago When Molly and Taylor Haylett started their family, they hadn't really planned for what it would mean financially. "Our first child surprised us, so we weren't prepared for it," says Molly, 30, a financial adviser from Essex. Molly and Taylor, who's a train driver, were earning similar amounts, but once Molly spent more time at home with their baby, the balance changed. "Taylor's career propelled and mine took a step back," she says. "There's an unintended impact on the person who spends more time at home with the kids." One of the things the couple decided to do was have Taylor contribute to Molly's pension while she was off work. "We were looking after both our futures, not just Taylor's," Molly says. It is something she think...

President Donald Trump on Wednesday night promised every adult American citizen a $5,000 "dividend" if the Republicans are victorious in the upcoming midterm elections. Americans will vote in the midterms in early November, with the Democrats currently projected to win control of the House of Representatives. Such a result would likely create barriers to Trump's legislative agenda and send a signal about public opinion on the president's policy mix throughout his second presidential term. "Here is my promise: if the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them because of our tremendous strength and success economically, I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000," he told a crowd at the GOP's midterm convention in Dallas. "I'm asking you to pretend that I'm on the ballot," he added. The total proposed "Trump dividend" payout is estimated...

Image source, Dan Kitwood /Getty Images Image caption, More than 2,000 flights have been cancelled due to the air traffic control outage By Emer Moreau Business reporter Published 9 September 2026 A technical failure of the UK's air traffic control system that has caused widespread flight chaos was avoidable, according to the Transport Secretary. Heidi Alexander told the Commons she had ordered an independent investigation by the aviation watchdog into the system operated by Nats, which went down for four hours on Tuesday. More than 2,000 flights have been cancelled as disruption continued for a second day with passengers stuggling to fly out of and into the UK . After meeting with the boss of Nats, Martin Rolfe, Alexander said a cyberattack could be ruled out, but she added: "I do not believe this issue was unavoidable." Nats has apologised for its third major technical fault in three years. Alexander said she discussed with Rolfe how Nats, which is 49% owned by the gov...
