Polish rail authorities halt freight trains as heat wave triggers emergency measures

Polish railway operators and infrastructure managers have introduced emergency measures due to the ongoing heat wave, including suspending freight train services. Poland's Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW) forecasts very high temperatures to persist in the coming days. The measures aim to reduce the risk of disruptions and heat-related track damage.

Is halting freight trains the right response to the heat wave?

Saving 5% in your 401(k) at 53 is not enough for retirement at 65

A 53-year-old hoping to retire in 12 years and contributing only 5% to their 401(k) is likely not saving enough for a comfortable retirement. Financial experts recommend increasing contributions immediately, particularly by taking advantage of the catch-up contribution rules available to those over 50. The sooner savings are boosted, the better the chances of reaching a secure retirement goal.

Is saving 5% of your salary enough for a comfortable retirement?
