Image by Arthur Lambillotte It’s easy to blame your soaring energy bill on weather, rates, or square footage, but the real culprit might be sitting quietly in your home, sipping power like it’s happy hour. A lot of appliances you use daily (or even forget about entirely) are designed to never turn off unless you make them. The good news? You don’t need to buy solar panels or take cold showers to see a difference in your bill. Often, all it takes is flipping one setting or switch. Here are seven appliances quietly driving up your power bill, and the…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Leadership in 2025 is emotionally demanding. We’re being asked to move faster, do more with less and lead teams through ambiguity, all while juggling personal challenges behind the scenes. And it’s taking a toll. A recent study found that 40% of stressed-out leaders have considered leaving their roles to protect their well-being. That’s not just burnout; that’s an urgent call to rethink how we show up, process adversity and lead with resilience. I’ve felt the strain personally. This year, someone I trusted in my business lied to me. It was frustrating and…

MIAMI, Florida — Despite starting in pole position, the Sprint race did not go Kimi Antonelli’s way at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix. But the young Mercedes phenom just put himself in a position to deliver even bigger points tomorrow. While Antonelli lost the lead in the F1 Sprint race to Oscar Piastri in Turn 1, ultimately settling for a seventh-place finish, the Mercedes rookie delivered his best Grand Prix qualifying result of his F1 career later in the day, qualifying third behind only pole-sitter Max Verstappen, and McLaren’s Lando Norris. Antonelli said on Friday he was over the…

But coach Chot Reyes, on the heels of another stinging setback that dropped TNT’s record to 0-3 in the PBA Philippine Cup, is focused more on getting the Tropang 5G’s groove back instead of fanning hope into their slowly fading dreams of completing only the sixth…

President Donald Trump‘s approval ratings have plummeted 100 days into his second term. What Happened: Trump’s approval ratings have significantly declined since the commencement of his second term. In January, Trump enjoyed positive approval ratings for the first time in his political career. However, recent surveys indicate a dramatic reversal of this trend. The latest CNN/SSRS poll, conducted between April 17-24 among 1,678 adults, found that only 41 percent approve of Trump’s job performance, while 59 percent disapprove. This is a 4-point drop since March and 7 points lower than in late February. A Fox News poll, conducted between April 18-21 among 1,104 registered voters, showed Trump’s net approval sinking to -10 points,…

Image by Stefan Vladimirov Let’s be honest—some of the most expensive decisions you’ve made probably weren’t about what you wanted. They were about what others might think. Peer pressure doesn’t always come in the form of someone daring you to take a shot or break a rule. Sometimes, it’s silent, subtle, and lurking in your shopping cart. You say yes to dinner at the trendy place even when you’re checking your bank balance in the Uber. You buy the dress for the wedding even though it’ll only be seen once on Instagram. And you tell yourself it’s “just what everyone…

(AP Photo/Hiro Komae, File) HOLLYWOOD, United States — It didn’t begin a long time ago or in a galaxy far far away, but every May 4 it feels like images, memes and promotional deals involving “Star Wars” have an inescapable gravity. May 4 — or May the 4th, as fans say — has evolved over the years into Star Wars Day, an informal holiday celebrating the space epic and its surrounding franchise.…

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., talks to reporters just after House Republicans narrowly approved their budget framework, at the Capitol in Washington, Thursday, April 10. J. Scott Applewhite/AP hide caption toggle caption J. Scott Applewhite/AP As Speaker Mike Johnson and his slim GOP House majority work to pass President Trump’s budget, they’ll have to work around the fact that cuts to Medicaid are unpopular with the public and enough members of their own party to upend the process. An April poll from KFF found that both Republicans and Democrats say they broadly oppose funding cuts to Social Security,…

Image by Sarah Brown Buying a new car feels like a milestone. The shiny paint, the flawless interior, that intoxicating new car smell—it’s all part of the dream. But as soon as you drive it off the lot, that dream takes a financial hit. And not just a little one. The depreciation starts immediately, and it only gets worse from there. Car dealers don’t highlight it. Car commercials definitely won’t say it. But the moment your tires hit the street, your car starts losing value. And if you’re not prepared, you could end up upside-down on your loan or disappointed…
