Nguyen, 46, put up her life savings, about $27,000, to open her dream business in April 2022, CNBC Make It reported in April 2023.

It has brought in more than $1 million annually since then, Nguyen now says.

As the 2026 WNBA Playoffs roar through its semifinal round, one thing is abundantly clear: Women’s sports are on fire.

42 states leave Social Security alone. Nine tax no income at all. If retirement is on the horizon, where you live changes what your income is worth.

But the state map is only half of it. The IRS can tax up to 50% of your Social Security once combined income passes $25,000, and up to 85% above $34,000. Required minimum distributions start at 73 no matter which state you call home. The lever you control is the order you draw from your accounts and whether you convert to Roth before those distributions begin.
