    Stacker, Sarah Armstrong for AXE|Mar 31, 2026

    How often should you shower? Some people won’t start the day without a shower. Others skip one now and then and think nothing of it. How often you shower depends on a few simple things: how active you are, how much you sweat, and how your skin reacts to being washed. A rinse after the gym usually makes sense. Three long, hot showers a day probably doesn’t. AXE explains how finding the right balance matters more than following a strict rule. Do you actually need to shower every day? There isn...

  • As rate cuts loom, retirees rethink income strategy

    Stacker, John Stevenson for John Stevenson|Mar 31, 2026

    As rate cuts loom, retirees rethink income strategy When interest rates move, markets react in seconds. Retirees feel the impact over months and years. After the fastest series of rate hikes in decades, attention has shifted to when the Federal Reserve might begin cutting rates. For investors, it is part of the economic cycle.
