In the coming decade, women will hold greater economic power than they did in previous generations. Economists at McKinsey estimate that by 2030, American women are poised to control much of the $30 trillion in personal wealth that baby boomers are expected to possess. This shift in the financial landscape means more women are taking control of their finances and protecting their wealth. For some, that means choosing not to get married later in life. Whether they are widowed, divorced or have never married, more women over the age of 50 aren’t walking down the aisle. They’re walking to the bank.Today’s…

The House rejected legislation Wednesday to cut federal taxes for relatively high-income married couples, sinking the bill in a procedural vote after weeks of debate that aimed to change tax policy before the end of filing season. The bill would have raised the cap on state and local taxes, or SALT, that married couples could deduct from their federal tax returns.

Wednesday’s SALT Marriage Penalty Elimination Act would have…

It has taken patience and perspective after her tentative first steps back into the brutal world of professional tennis, but Naomi Osaka’s comeback is beginning to pick up steam as she reached her first quarter-final in nearly two years, at the Qatar Open. On Wednesday, Osaka had been due to face Lesia Tsurenko in their third-round match but the Ukrainian withdrew with an elbow injury. The walkover had been preceded by two strong victories for Osaka at the WTA 1000 event.
