People are shelling out more to travel the holiday roads this season, Felecia Wellington Radel reports.
About a third of Americans are planning to travel more this winter than in 2023, according to an October survey by rental fleet management company Zubie. And compared to last year, those travelers are spending more on their getaways.
Who wants to be a 401(k) millionaire?
A record number of Americans are 401(k) millionaires, thanks to a surging stock market.
The tally of 401(k) millionaires reached 544,000 in the third quarter of 2024, up from 497,000 three months earlier, according to Fidelity Investments, a leading administrator of employer retirement plans. The figure covers only Fidelity accountholders.

We've been featuring favorite 2024 stories from colleagues. Here's one from Kathleen Wong!
Hawaii’s most famous coastline, Waikiki Beach, won't be the same in 50 years.
Oahu is the most visited Hawaiian island, with its iconic Waikiki neighborhood serving as a central base for many travelers, but it has already been changing. The beaches flanking Waikiki have narrowed, and, in some areas, are nonexistent. During high tide or if there’s a swell, waves crash onto walkways, soaking passersby.
These issues didn’t exist decades ago, at least not as noticeably as today. And it’s only expected to get worse.
