Congrats, Your House Made You Rich. Now Sell It.

Forget the old slogan about there never being a better time to buy a home. For baby boomers, there might never be a better time to sell.The kids are gone, the stairs aren’t going to get easier to climb, and downsizing with home prices up so sharply since the pandemic could pad out those retirement savings. Many boomers have little or no debt on their current homes and, as an added bonus, it is easy to find ready buyers with so few homes on the market.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

When people say things like, “Could this be any more awkward?” it’s a Bingism.Chandler was nearly Perry’s double: a tortured loner for whom cynicism was body armor. To the surprise of no one who read his nightmare addiction memoir, “Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing,” he died prematurely on Saturday, at 54.

Grand Old Party: How Aging Makes You More Conservative

One of the most durable forces shaping the U.S. electorate is that voters tend to lean more Republican as they age.But it also matters where they begin on the political spectrum, and there are indications that millennials and the oldest members of Generation Z started out more liberal than prior generations. That has made them a crucial base of support for Democrats, even as some other groups of voters have moved away from the party.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
