This trend has extended to the realm of personal finance, with some advocating for a passive approach to money management, including keeping large sums of savings in bank deposits. However, recent shifts in the economic landscape have brought an end to the era of complacent saving, urging individuals to reconsider their financial strategies and embrace a more proactive approach to consumption.

Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his name from consideration to be President-elect Donald Trump’s attorney general, he wrote on social media Thursday. The former Florida congressman said he made the decision after a series of meetings with senators on Capitol Hill Wednesday. “I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many,” Gaetz wrote. “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition.” A criminal probe into Gaetz dominated public discourse about his nomination despite no charges being filed against him. The investigation stemmed from accusations of sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old girl, sex trafficking and illicit drug use. Public skepticism from two Republican senators — Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — matched with reports of additional GOP opposition to the nomination fueled concerns among Trump loyalists that Gaetz would not politically survive the Senate confirmation process. While few Republican senators have publicly criticized any of Trump’s nominees, it became clear after Gaetz’s withdrawal that many had been harboring private concerns about him. Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who served with Gaetz in the House, said it was a “positive move.” Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker said it was a “positive development.” “I remain fully committed to see that Donald J. Trump is the most successful President in history,” Gaetz wrote. “I will forever be honored that President Trump nominated me to lead the Department of Justice and I’m certain he will Save America.” In a social media post, Trump said: “I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” Trump did not immediately announce a new selection. Last week, he named personal lawyers Todd Blanche, Emil Bove and D. John Sauer to senior roles in the department. Another possible contender, Matthew Whitaker, was announced Wednesday as the U.S. ambassador to NATO. In recent days, an attorney for two women said his clients told House Ethics Committee investigators that Gaetz paid them for sex on multiple occasions beginning in 2017, when Gaetz was a Florida congressman. One of the women testified she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old at a party in Florida in 2017, according to the attorney, Joel Leppard. Leppard has said that his client testified she didn’t think Gaetz knew the girl was underage, stopped their relationship when he found out and did not resume it until after she turned 18. The age of consent in Florida is 18. “They’re grateful for the opportunity to move forward with their lives,” Leppard said Thursday of his clients. “They’re hoping that this brings final closure for all the parties involved.” Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The Justice Department’s investigation ended last year with no charges against him. Gaetz resigned from Congress after his nomination, meaning he cannot return to his role representing Florida’s 1st Congressional District without being reelected. Gaetz is not the only Trump pick facing congressional scrutiny over past allegations. A detailed investigative police report made public Wednesday shows that a woman told police that she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Hegseth, the former Fox News host now tapped to lead the Pentagon, after he took her phone, blocked the door to a California hotel room and refused to let her leave. “The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared,” Hegseth told reporters Thursday at the Capitol, where he was meeting with senators to build support for his nomination.
Hollywood star Matthew Rhys has said he is shocked at the severity of "stabbing" funding cuts to the arts scene in Wales. The Welsh actor said the sector was "absolutely not" receiving the support it needed to thrive, called its prospects "very bleak", and feared routes were closing for young people into artistic careers. Earlier this week Welsh ministers and Arts Council Wales announced an extra £3.6m of emergency funding to protect jobs, which they said was "widely welcomed" by the sector. The Welsh government said the arts made "a vital contribution... enriching our communities and inspiring future generations" and it will publish a draft budget for its overall spending next week. Speaking from set in New York where he is filming a Netflix series for next year, Rhys said the decision by the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff to close its junior conservatoire this year left him "speechless". It means hundreds of children missing out on music lessons. Rhys, who grew up in Cardiff, is probably best known for his role in spy series The Americans, for which he won a Primetime Emmy, and he played the lead in the recent TV remake of Perry Mason. He is an honorary fellow at the college, where he occasionally goes back to speak to students, and said it was a visit there as a 16-year-old which put him on the path to acting. "If there's one thing I think Wales has always done well it's the nurturing of art in the youngsters of Wales," he said. "There's no downside to doing art of any kind in your youth. It only opens doors, broadens horizons and helps you, I believe, down the line. "And so to strip the primary funding, I think, is woeful." He said it was "galling" that the arts had historically been treated as second fiddle to more scientific industries. "It's a kind of blind ignorance that the arts are always, I think, treated as a second class subject to a degree. "What is worrying at the moment is how much the arts are being stabbed as we have seen with the Welsh National Opera (WNO) and National Theatre Wales . "I don't believe institutions like these can survive, the way the government is currently treating them." College principal Helena Gaunt said closing the junior conservatoire was a "very difficult decision" which it felt forced to make due to lack of funds. She is calling for an increase in funding for the arts. "We say a lot that this is a cultural nation, and if we want to continue to be a really cultural nation we have to invest in that - and that includes the college," she said. Last year WNO had a 10% cut from its application for standstill funding from Arts Council Wales, while National Theatre Wales lost all its core funding. Arts Council Wales's funding from the Welsh government was cut by 10.5% this year. Tim Rhys-Evans, director of music at the college, said he frequently had conversations with students worried about their future. "We have a lot of conversations about the state that the arts world is in," said Mr Rhys-Evans. "Are there going to be jobs for them when they leave here? I tell them the world is always going to need creatives." He said if Wales did not have culture it would just be "a tiny blob" on the world map. "The difference that we have made to the international arts scene is something that we all need to be really proud of, and make damned sure it’s still going to be here in generations to come." Ms Gaunt said it was "essential" for the college - which turns 75 this year - and the arts sector more widely for levels of funding be be "rebuilt to former levels". She said: "Much more can be achieved and contributed to our societies by relatively modest increases in funding." The Welsh government said: “The arts sector makes a vital contribution to our social, cultural and economic fabric - enriching our communities and inspiring future generations. "Our draft budget for the next financial year will be published next week.”Ask Madison: Who was Victoria's 'Candy Man'?
