When you go to buy a new car, how long do you really expect to make payments on it? Three years? Four? Maybe five? Lately, there’s a good chance it’s more than six years, which is an increasingly troubling sign for buyers, the auto industry and the economy as a whole.

I’m one of those people who must always run the most up-to-date version of anything I’m using. Apps? Games? Hardware? If a device or piece of software doesn’t have an auto-updater (and even if it does), I’m constantly checking to make sure it has the latest fixes, features, and security patches. It’s an obsession.

Remember that day in fifth grade when they split up the boys and girls into separate classrooms? The way kids learn about how their bodies change in puberty has, itself, changed over the years. In my own experience, the school outsourced much of that job to a little booklet issued by a maxipad company.

Whether you care about meal timing or not, there’s something satisfying about coming home from a hard day in the gym and digging into something substantial.

On Tuesday night, facing mounting pressure regarding an impeachment inquiry by House Democrats, President Trump tweeted that the inquiry was in fact a “coup.”

“As I learn more and more each day, I am coming to the conclusion that what is taking place is not an impeachment, it is a coup...” he wrote. “... intended to…

The Chicago Public Library system and Fort Worth Public Library system stopped charging fines for overdue books and forgave all outstanding fines this week. They join a growing list of libraries that have replaced late fees with a more lenient and flexible “lost book” fee. Here are the major systems that have done the…

When you ask someone how they’re doing, if they don’t throw out the usual “I’m fine,” they’ll probably mention that they’re tired, or even exhausted. So what’s going on? Are we all actually that tired all the time? Have we just stopped sleeping? Though it’s different for every person, if you find that you do get what…

Before you have kids, you have this vision in your head of what it will be like. Maybe you picture tossing the football in the backyard, teaching them how to ride a bike or the way their eyes will light up on Christmas morning.

If you’re a big Android fan, odds are good you’ve probably opted into several app beta tests, pre-registered for a few upcoming games or apps, and built up a hefty wishlist of apps you’d like to download or purchase at some point. If you’re ready to tame your obsession a bit, Google is making it easy to cull some of…

Best Buy is offering the Pixel 3 XL with 64GB of internal storage for just $550—a full $350 off its regular price of $900. The only requirement is that you activate the phone at the time of purchase; the price…

As many times as I have watched deft prep cooks slice tomatoes and chop onions with nary a nick, I remain stalwartly accident-prone in the kitchen. I can’t seem to master that “bear claw” grip whereby you tuck your fingertips on the stabilizing hand to prevent accidentally knifing yourself. After an unfortunate…

Did you know that “flossing” is more than just a popular dance all the kids are doing?

Fall is officially here, which means it’s about time you use up what’s left of your hard-earned PTO before the year ends. And in case you need a little inspiration, Southwest is having a sale right now on one-way flights this winter. For as little as $49, you can fly on a one-way ticket from San Diego to Las Vegas or…

If you want to boost your credit score, you need to make on-time payments on all of your debts, carry low balances on your credit cards, and wait for all of that good credit history to slowly raise your score over time. Right?

Cold brew coffee is not my favorite cold coffee. Though it does the job, caffeine-wise, its flavor can be a bit thin and harsh, with a sharpness that reminds me just a little bit of booze. It feels unfinished, like it needs something to round it out, and coconut water does just that.

Ever run into an acquaintance you’ve met several times before and realize you’ve forgotten their name? You stand there, discussing your lives, families or the office gossip while you secretly try to remember if his name is Steve or Paul (or maybe Dave?) and hope that he somehow drops a hint.

Would you pay more than face value for a McDonald’s Big Mac? If you scrambled to get DoorDash’s one-cent burger this week, you might have done just that.

When I moved to Seattle, my mom, Charlotte, dismissed it as a place “where hippies live.” But when she visits me, we gather the friends who have become my extended family—most of whom are dairy- or gluten-free or vegan and have only eaten hummus from plastic containers—to feast on her Lebanese food. My mom’s used to…

Google Chrome is one of the most popular web browsers around, but it uses an exorbitant amount of your computer’s memory. A quick look at your task manager will turn up a shocking number of memory-hogging Chrome processes. Here’s why Chrome uses so much RAM—and the steps you can take to curb its gluttony.

With any trip, even after you redeem your credit card points for travel rewards, you’ll end up with some leftover expenses. You can use points to book a flight or a hotel room, but you can’t call a campground and ask them to pay for your reservation with points. You might be able to redeem your points toward a rental…
