Saving for retirement gets a lot of attention. Spending those savings can be just as important.

A recent survey found that only 31% of Americans know what “decumulation” means — the process of drawing down retirement assets over time.

The tournament is the largest World Cup to date, with 48 teams, 104 matches, and games across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Still, travelers appear to be making practical decisions around ticket prices, lodging, trip length, and which matches are worth the cost.
