Becoming a retirement super-saver is within reach, with a few tweaks to your finances.

Retirement super-savers are on a path to a secure future, at least according to recent research. If you're hoping to leave the workforce with plenty of money invested to live a life of leisure, you may want to join them.

But what does it take to be a super-saver? Here's what you need to know.

The term "retirement super savers" was coined by the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. According to its research, 44% of workers who participate in a retirement plan fit this definition. Here's what you'd need to do to be one of them:

People of all generations are among these super-savers, but those in Generation Z are actually the most likely to belong to this group. In total, 53% of Gen Z, 44% of millennials, 40% of Gen Xers and 44% of baby boomers are investing more than 10% of their income in retirement plans.

These individuals are still in the minority, though, as 56% of all workers who participate in retirement plans contribute less than 10% of their earnings.

Becoming a super-saver is both easy and difficult at the same time. It takes only two steps to do, so that part isn't complicated. You just need to sign up for a workplace 401(k) or open an IRA if you don't already have one. Then you need to start regularly and consistently putting more than 10% of your earnings into that account.

This is where the difficult part comes in. You must free up that much money to put aside for your future if you aren't already investing it. Depending on just how much you're saving now, this could mean making some pretty big lifestyle changes. After all, if you're currently saving 0% or 4% or even 6% or 8% of your income, increasing that rate to save more than 10% could seem out of reach.

The good news is, you don't necessarily have to do it all at once. It would be ideal if you could, though: The sooner you begin investing for your future, the easier it will be to achieve your goals, thanks to the power of compound growth.

If you do want to dramatically increase your savings rate quickly, a big lifestyle change -- such as downgrading to a cheaper home or car -- could help you do it. Unlike slashing many different expenses from your budget, this is a change you only have to make once, and it will have an outsized impact.

If a big lifestyle change can't happen, though, start to inch up your savings rate as much as you can over time until you hit your target. If you're contributing 4% of your income to your 401(k) today, ask your human resources (HR) department to change that amount to 5%. The difference will probably be small enough that you can accommodate it. Then in a few weeks or months, ask to move up to contributing 6%. Keep inching those contributions up until you truly can't do it any more.

If you get a raise, you can also divert it directly to your retirement plan, since you aren't used to having those funds anyway. This can make a big difference over time, as you'll effortlessly increase your savings rate.

Before you start heavily investing for your future, you do want to make sure you don't have high-interest debt, and that you have an emergency fund in place. But, once you've checked those tasks off your list, there's no reason not to try to join the ranks of super-savers. When you reach retirement, the nest egg you've built will give you the peace of mind you deserve.

Yes, It's Possible to Join the Ranks of Retirement "Super-Savers." Here's What You Need to Do - The Motley Fool

FM Faustino Oro, dubbed the 'Messi of Chess,' has created a media frenzy in his native Argentina by setting a prestigious new world record. This week he followed up by beating none other than GM Hikaru Nakamura twice.

Oro achieved his final norm and completed all requirements for the international master (IM) title in Barcelona last week, becoming the youngest in chess history to do so at 10 years, eight months, and 16 days. The extraordinary achievement was met with celebrations and praise, yet Oro remained remarkably composed, taking selfies with fans, signing autographs, and playing blitz games.

In an interview with Chess.com, the 10-year-old shared his excitement: "I feel very happy because it doesn't happen every day. In addition, I broke the world record held by Mishra, so I'm very happy to surpass it and have the title."

He admitted feeling nervous during the final round against IM Fernando Valenzuela Gomez, when he needed a draw to secure the title: "Yes, I suffered, I suffered, but I managed to hold on in a difficult position and win the title."

Asked about the significance of having such a record, he said: "Yes, I wanted to achieve it. It's not that records are so important, but it's nice to have one. I can always say that I'm the youngest."

It's not that records are so important, but it's nice to have one. I can always say that I'm the youngest.

Faustino Oro

This week the IM-elect returned to Chess.com, as he beat world number-two Nakamura in blitz. Twice. "The #1 prodigy in the world right now," IM Levy Rozman/GothamChess noted, while sharing this clip from Oro's stream. The celebration at the end is a must-watch.

The full-time streamer and content-creator went through some of their games in this video.

Back home in Argentina, the 'Messi of Chess' has clearly captured the attention of the people, with mainstream newspapers extensively covering his journey. The 10-year-old has been featured in some of the nation's biggest newspapers, side-by-side with the national heroes currently fighting for a title in the Copa America.

The recognition reached another peak when Argentina's president Javier Milei praised Oro to his three million X/Twitter followers, calling him 'a pride for all Argentinians."

Former President Mauricio Macri said "You are a boss who fills us with pride," while Daniel Scioli, Argentina's Minister of Tourism and Sports, emphasized the broader significance of Oro's success:

"Chess is a symbol of discipline, strategy, enduring pressure, planning, and managing time, thinking about the next moves. As someone passionate about this discipline and being the Secretary in charge of Tourism and Sports, I know it is a source of pride for our country."

Carlos Ilardo, a journalist from one of Argentina's biggest papers InfoBae, is likely the journalist who has followed Oro most closely over the last two years.

"Since Faustino achieved his second norm at the Continental in Colombia, they havent stopped asking me for articles about him. According to my bosses, the boy has a huge following. People want to know more about him," he told Chess.com.

He noted that while chess lags behind football and tennis in terms of popularity, Argentina has a rich chess culture dating back to Jose Capablanca and Alexander Alekhine's World Championship match in 1927, Chess Olympiads in Buenos Aires in 1939 and 1978, and the Argentina vs. USSR match in 1954.

"Since the news broke on Sunday morning, it had more space, and various newspapers even mentioned it or featured a photo on the front page."

Ilardo doesn't remember any chess-related news with such significance in the country since Garry Kasparov's first visit to the country to play the Argentine Olympiad team in 1992. "It's perhaps similar to the Kasparov vs. Deep Blue rematch in 1997."

He added: "There was a general buzz and excitement within the Argentine chess community. Personally, even friends who don't know how to play chess called or sent me messages congratulating me or asking about the importance of Faustinos achievement."

He noted that the parents have taken a cautious approach in terms of media exposure, similar to how GM Magnus Carlsen's parents dealt with the attention at the time.

"I understand Faustinos parents position; they are very concerned about the childs media exposure, but perhaps if they had allowed some interviews on channels, radio, blogs, or newspapers here, the impact would have been even greater," Ilardo said.

Spanish journalist Federico Marin Bellon writes for El Mundo and runs the chess news website Damas y Reyes, where he noted that 'Faustimania is unleashed' in a recent story. He has covered Oro extensively, for Chess.com as well, and expained the young prodigy's growing popularity in his new home country Spain.

"Faustino Oro has what it takes to be an idol. I have been to several tournaments with him, three of them in Spain, and I have seen his charisma grow at the same pace as his level of play. He gets more and more requests for photos and autographs and is always attentive to the fans," he told Chess.com.

Federico Marin, Spanish journalist

"He's not thrilled with all the attention, but he's very professional about it. His mother tells him to look up to GM Pepe Cuenca, who is one of his idols, and he is very disciplined."

Marin also noted that Oro's surprising personality has contributed to his popularity: "Faustino has nothing to do with the cliche of the shy, introverted child. He can even be very funny. In Madrid, he won everyone over by playing quick games and even practising trash-talking before the awards ceremony. He is also very cheerful and assertive in interviews, not just saying platitudes to make a good impression."

In the interview with Chess.com, 'Fausti' mentioned his recent milestone of becoming the youngest to surpass 3000 in blitz. "Playing improves your game. What doesn't help you improve is the speed. I mean, it's too fast. Sometimes you have to play quickly; it doesnt matter so much the position, sometimes if you have ten seconds you have to play, sometimes with the mouse too."

Oro now has a total of five coaches, thanks to an anonymous group of Argentinian businessmen covering all expenses for training, travel and accommodation. His aspirations are as high as they come, targetting the biggest title in chess. "I would like to become world champion. I always say it, but its very long-term. But I would like it."

I would like to become world champion.

Faustino Oro

Meanwhile, Faustino's father, Alejandro Oro, offered a grounded perspective on his son's talent: Fausti is a bright child, but he doesnt stand out in everything he does; hes not gifted. For example, he has a hard time learning English. He doesnt read much, not even chess books. He simply has a prodigious ability to play chess," he told InfoBae.

In September, Oro will start school in Badalona, Spain, where he has moved with his parents. He doesn't turn 11 until October.

MEDITATION: Lessons fit for a good book - Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal

Director of cult favorites The Favorite and Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimoss Kinds of Kindness is a cruel contemplation on the painful sacrifices we make to get what we want. The film asks: Are we controlled by our desires? And how much control do we give to those who hold the key?

Fittingly, the film opens with the high-synth Eurythmics Sweet Dreams Are Made of These, in which Annie Lenoxs voice calls, Some of them want to use you / Some of them want to get used by you. Kinds of Kindness concludes with Emma Stone dancing feverishly to COBRAHs Brand New Bitch.

In the nearly three hours which connect these two blithely-spirited moments, Lanthimos offers a triptych of stories each with different plots that all use the same set of actors. The cast includes Lanthimoss long-time favorite Emma Stone protagonist of Poor Things Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons and Margaret Qualley, among others.

The first parable, dubbed The Death of R.M.F., follows businessman Robert, played by Plemons, as he grows consumed by the commands of his boss Raymond, played by Defoe. Raymond determines when Robert eats, sleeps and has sex. The audience never quite learns why Robert is so intent on pleasing his boss. Perhaps that is the point: Lanthimos critiques the all-too-common fiending after wealth and status.

R.M.F. is Flying, the second story, trails along as police officer Daniel, also played by Plemons, investigates whether his wife Liz just recently back from being lost at sea has been replaced by an imposter. As a test of her identity, Daniel asks Liz, played by Stone, to complete brutish tasks. In one scene, she chops off her finger to serve as dinner. In another, she cuts out her liver. Chilling, I know.

In the final story, R.M.F. Eats a Sandwich, Andrew, played by Plemons, is a member of a purity-obsessed cult in the bayou. Guided by a prophecy, Andrew along with Emily, played by Stone searches for a girl with the power to bring the dead back to life. The subsequent tale includes bizarre sauna ceremonies, a set of twins played by Qualley and a resurrection.

If these stories packed with rituals, sacrifice and prophetic dreams sound a bit sacramental, thats no accident. Not only does Kinds of Kindness include biblical references, including to the Parable of the Prodigal Son, but the entire film is also a rumination of gods and their followers. Several characters become god-like to those around them: the boss, Raymond or the policeman, Daniel. Those in their lives Raymonds employee, Daniels wife are driven mad by a feverishness to satisfy. What will we do to please the people we worship?

In addition to the films religious allegory, there are both visual and conceptual sinews which bind the film together: games of power and control, moments of dark humor. And in each narrative, the surreal is mapped against the ordinary. In the last story, for instance, Stone drives a purple Dodge Challenger to find a veterinarian who has the power to resurrect the dead into the living. Cloaked in everyday clothes, the characters embark on medieval-esque endeavors against the backdrop of New Orleans.

Of course, violence serves as a persistent throughline of the film. The characters treat both sex and violence with a subversive flippancy, while operating in a world that looks remarkably like our own. The absurdity of Kinds of Kindness mirrors our own existence: while the real world may appear more buttoned-up on the outside, it is just as rotten as that of Lanthimoss sick fables. Or so the film posits.

Especially as a fan of Poor Things, it feels tempting to chalk off the films gore and debauchery to some high-brow genius spilled from Lanthimoss imagination. Theres brutal rape, a myriad of naked female bodies notably, very few male ones orgies and faint-inducing violence. But ultimately, its perversion masked as intellectualism. Strip away the biblical references and avant-garde air, and the film is mere bone-chilling depravity.

Perhaps, I told myself, Im approaching Kinds of Kindness all wrong. Maybe Im too uptight. But Lanthimos never properly develops any part of the film. The entire spectacle seems to operate on the surface of a surrealist dream with no real center. The film never pushes past the rather incoherent first unravelings of each story. Its a strange, lurid world not simply without rules or logic, but without depth.

Lanthimos-fans might declare the film as representing a sort of nihilism that resonates with our time. Its a tired story. As our world teeters toward ruin, nothing means anything. We are all savage animals of flesh and bone. Frankly, Im bored of it. I just cant help but feel Kinds of Kindness is ultimately empty.

There are echoes of life, just barely audible, between the borders of Kinds of Kindness. Push deep enough, and you will detect something in the film about love about how desperately and wholly we are committed to being loved that we will do anything to receive it. Stone offers poignant acting throughout, giving a glimpse at what Kinds of Kindness might have been if Lanthimos was able to excavate a bit more of that humanness.

Instead, the film chokes up a dark conclusion. Taken from the Eurythmics Sweet Dreams: everyone is looking for something. Lanthimos makes clear that we never quite find it.

Review: Kinds of Kindness is a bleak, disappointing meditation on control - The Dartmouth

On day one of the ESSENCE Festival of Culture, at 8:45 a.m., as I walked into the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans and watched the lines of people form, I could hear the commotion beginning. People were ready. But as I entered inside and walked to the Wellness House activation and inside a curtained space with elevated stages, poufy orange cushions to sit on, sound bowls placed around, and sage being spread, it was a completely different scene and vibe. The practitioners, beautiful Black women from New Orleans who were preparing to teach guided meditation and utilize sound therapy, were dressed in ethereal white ensembles, greeting people with warmth and in a calm voice. They were ready, too. They were there and would be there every morning throughout ESSENCE Fest weekend to help guests heal.

Meditation is not necessarily doing anything, says Dirieal Perkins of Stretch Galore Yoga about the practice, which shes done for about five years. As we talk, her two-and-a-half-month-old son Yiannis, also in white, sleeps on her chest in a carrier. It is more so becoming, not necessarily one with your thoughts, but really just entertaining those thoughts and not so much dwelling on it, but just allowing it to flow and just let it pass. It is not, we have to sit down and only think about good things. Thats literally not what it is. Its kind of impossible in a sense. Your mind works; its all over the place. Its allowed to be that, but just also allow yourself to come back to center at some point. Like I said, entertain it. Then let it pass. Let it fly. But dont dwell on or hold on to those thoughts.

One way to entertain and release those thoughts is through breathwork, which Aries D, one of the practitioners who works at NOLAs Divine Essential Magic, says is essential.

We take breath for granted. Thats something that were born with. Thats the last thing we do when we leave this earth. But at the same token, its the main way that you can allow yourself to release not only oxygen, but different endorphins to help yourself relax, she shares. As challenging as it sounds, we have the ability to tell our minds next. So if its a thought that you dont want to have, say next, push it to the next spot. You have so many things that you encounter on a daily basis, let alone that you endure throughout your whole life. So even though its some unwanted memories or thoughts that pop up, you have a plethora of other ones that you could bring forth to manifest different beautiful realities for yourself.

Practicing meditation and learning the ability to acknowledge and then move on from thoughts that fill our minds has changed the life of lead instructor Shan-coa Burke. She has been doing it since 2016 and guided ESSENCE Fest guests through a stirring experience.

I needed to heal. I needed to do some real healing, the Stretch Galore leader recalls. I was ready to grow, and I saw how the power of manifestation changed my life, and I wanted to bring it to our people because it wasnt big in our community. And I was just this Black girl from New Orleans and thought, I need to bring this to our people. Because our people really need some healing. And one thing I know about God, he aligned it, and he aligned me with every one of these women.

Not only does the practice provide mental clarity, but it can also have physical benefits. This was clear from looking at the very youthful Burke, who one might confuse with a young college student but is actually a soon-to-be 30-year-old mother of three.

Even by me looking so young, thats because Im not letting the stress take me. The meditation is the detachment, Burke says. I envision myself detaching from these situations and pushing the negativity out. Pushing it out, inhaling that light, and exhaling that darkness.

The setting for the guided meditation service was quiet, and they even asked vendors across the way to turn down their music to maintain the sanctity of the space. However, the ladies made clear that such introspection doesnt have to be done only in hushed rooms.

The best way is to just do it no matter what youre doing. Most people feel that they have to be in a certain area or a certain spot, and it has to be quiet. I read a book once where it talks about different meditations. So Ive learned a whole lot. But you can literally sit down and eat and do food meditation, focus on the foods that youre eating. You can meditate while youre walking. You can meditate literally while youre working out, in the tub, sitting at your desk, and working. You can literally meditate anywhere. So this whole ideology that it needs to be peace, quiet, certain surroundings only, its not true. So its about just implementing it in everyday life, no matter what youre doing, just knowing you can do it anywhere, Perkins says.

While the guided meditation started with just a few participants, by the time I opened my eyes at the end, the room was full. People were sitting wherever they could find a spot, whether there was an orange cushion to rest on or the hard floor. But they were centered and at peace, ready to take on the Festival experience in a good headspace. That impact is the purpose behind all of the womens work.

Its how you start your day. You control your day because you can meditate and say, Im going to have this kind of day. I just believe in the power of manifestation and positive thoughts, Burke says. I learned this trick and I want to share it with you so you can see how it transforms your life. If you want balance, ask yourself every day, Why is my life balancing out the way I need it to? Ask yourself that because the why reveals itself. The why reveals answers.

She adds, Anytime you question why, your brain starts to work. It helps you cultivate the answer. It starts to find answers, and it starts to reveal things, too. So I want you to get there. I want everybody to be there. I want, especially our people, to be there because we really, really need this. We do this for our people.

The Guided Meditation Space At EFOC Was A Perfect Place To Find Healing - Essence

Once an ancient form of martial arts, tai chi becomes local wellness activity

By Eva Westein

Contributing Writer

GREEN BAY On Wednesday mornings at Voyageur Park, members of the Brown County Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) can be found under the shade of the trees practicing the slow, serene movements of tai chi while being serenaded by chirping birds and meditative music.

At the head of the group is Shelly Vanness, a retired occupational therapist who now volunteers her skills and passion for the practice of tai chi at the ADRC as a beginner-level instructor.

Vanness first had the opportunity to learn about tai chi back in 2000 when she received a mailing about tai chi training for therapists.

Initially, she had just set the mailing aside and forgot about it, but she picked it up again a few months later and decided to look into it.

She then took several workshops for about a year and a half.

After training at the Tai Chi Center of Madison, she eventually decided to teach it herself.

Vanness later got certified to teach tai chi and has voluntarily taught it to others for 22 years, eight of which have been at the ADRC.

I feel like it was a gift that I received in my life, so I like to share it with other people, she stated.

Tai chi is a meditation exercise form of low-impact movements that originated in 13th-century China as a form of martial arts handed down from generation to generation.

It is now practiced as an art form, meditation technique, or mind, body and spirit exercise that is becoming increasingly popular across the United States.

It is an especially convenient method of exercise because it can be practiced alone or in a group setting and does not require specialized equipment or clothing.

Tai chi can be practiced by anyone.

Many seniors are interested in it. It is very meditative and works on concentration and balance too, which is good for us all, says Jean Huxtable-Hamersky, a community member who has been taking Shellys tai chi class at the ADRC in downtown Green Bay for several months now.

Tai chi also boasts many other health benefits such as improved posture, body awareness, blood pressure control, flexibility, cardiovascular and respiratory function, pain relief, emotional wellness and more.

In fact, the National Institute of Health has introduced grants to be used by organizations such as the ADRC to create opportunities for community members to practice tai chi and other similar exercises in an effort to reduce balance-related falls in the elderly.

While the practice of tai chi is accessible to anyone, Shelly warns that it can be a long process.

Be very patient with yourself because it takes a good long while, I would say if youre really interested it takes about 9-12 months before you feel like you can really do one of the forms well, Vanness explained.

For beginners, she also recommends finding something online that you can follow along with at home, even if its just 15 minutes a day.

If you are interested in participating in a local in-person tai chi session, check out the following offerings: call 920-448-4300 for the Aging and Disability Resource Center in Green Bays sessions with Shelly on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m.; contact Eric Peters at 920-366-0899 for beginner, intermediate and advanced sessions held on Tuesdays from 9-10 a.m. at GBASO on 2351 Holmgren Way, Suite 102; and call the YWCA of Green Bay at 920-432-5581 for tai chi sessions in the water on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. and tai chi sessions in the classroom on Thursdays at 10 a.m.

For the mind and body - The Press-Times

LONG POND, Pa. - NASCAR weekend is now underway at Pocono Raceway. And with many fans planting their roots down there for the whole weekend, a large farm just across the tracks want the people to know there are healthier eating options rolling their way.

"Get back together this weekend and enjoy NASCAR and enjoy camping," Matthew Emerick, a camper, said.

For NASCAR lovers in Pennsylvania, camping at Pocono Raceway is a staple to their souls' diet.

"Having a great time with thousands of other people," camper, John Woodruff, said. "That's what it's all about, camping and racing."

"That's what it's all about," Emerick said.

But what about their actual diet?

"Cooking, cold beer," Woodruff said.

Fans can have a busy itinerary inside the raceway.

"We'll wait for practice to start qualifying for both the truck and XFINITY," Emerick said, "there's places to meet the drivers get some autographs you know, talk to him a little bit."

And many don't know that just across the tracks, sits nearly 400 acres of farm.

"Pocono Organics Farm, which is one of North America's largest regenerative organic certified farms, is right across the street," Jeanine Hofbauer, Director of Marketing at Pocono Organics Farm, said.

Pocono Organics Farm wheels in a produce cart for campers, rolling in healthier options for more racecar cheering power.

"Because it's not so easy," Hofbauer said. "Or maybe some people don't want to leave once they park that trailer or that motorhome, or their campsite set."

So campers, as you're grilling your next burger, why not add a nice, juicy organic steak tomato?

"We're not just an amazing farm," Hofbauer said. "We have some of the greatest humans on Earth right at Pocono Organic Farm. They are dedicated to making sure our soil health is being maintained."

This is the third year the cart's rolled this way. And its popularity keeps on growing.

"No pun intended," Hofbauer said.

The farm hopes to feed the masses, while also feeding their brains with knowledge of healthier foods.

"We like to educate the community," Hofbauer said. "We are loyal to the soil."

Hofbauer says the goal is to fuel folks at the campsites, so they'll have an even more fruitful NASCAR experience.
