Have you heard how young people suffer now? Scroll TikTok, Instagram, etc., you see the same message: “Young people today can’t get ahead!” One popular meme says when Baby Boomers like me were young, “a family could own a home, a car and send their kids to college, all on one income.” “That’s a fantasy,” says economist Norbert Michel. “We are much better off than we were.” On social media, many young people say things like, “Most people don’t live in houses because it’s too expensive.” Yes, homes cost more now, but Census data show more Americans own their homes…

Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989), was one of the first to define the difference between an abundance mindset and a scarcity mindset. A scarcity mindset assumes there’s a fixed amount of success, recognition, or resources in the world. In contrast, an abundance mindset believes there’s enough success and opportunity for everyone—collaboration and generosity create more for all. Years later, psychologist Carol Dweck explored similar ideas in her work on the “fixed vs. growth mindset” (Mindset, 2006), applying them to learning and personal development.

A short walk from the home where long-time Wall Street financier Howard Rubin lived with his wife and three children in Manhattan, he kept a second apartment. The $18,000 a month penthouse at Metropolitan Tower Condominium on 57th street, just below Central Park, has excellent views — but most of his visitors never got to see them. According to prosecutors Rubin converted the place into a seedy “built-in” sex dungeon where he allegedly tortured dozens of women with savage beatings, rape and even electrocutions. Rubin used the penthouse on the W 57th purely for sexual purposes as he lived in…

The Giants are now underdogs to the winless Saints despite defeating the Chargers in their last game. In perhaps a surprising move, the Giants opened as 1.5-point favorites to the New Orleans Saints, but have since moved off favorite status and fallen to +1.5 underdogs. This line movement may be related to Malik Nabers’ injury,…

Rapper Bad Bunny responded to the backlash surrounding the NFL’s decision to book him for this year’s Super Bowl Halftime show as he kicked off the 51st season of “Saturday Night Live.” The 31-year-old Puerto Rican native, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, said he was “excited” to be named the headlining act for the big game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara in February, but urged critics they have “four months to learn” Spanish. “I’m really excited to be doing the Super Bowl, I know that people all around the world who love my music are also…

LAS VEGAS — Fan favorite Alex Pereira dethroned Magomed Ankalaev at UFC 320, taking the light heavyweight championship with a first-round stoppage Saturday night. Pereira (13-3-0) floored Ankalaev (21-2-1) after hurting him with a huge right hand and quickly went to work using thunderous elbows during a ground-and-pound before referee Herb Dean stepped in to stop the bout at the 1:20 mark. Pereira brought an end to Ankalaev’s 14-match unbeaten streak, while exacting revenge for a loss in the fighters’ first meeting in March. “I wasn’t well that night, but tonight I was very well,” Pereira said through his translator.…
