Here’s the salary it takes to live comfortably in each US state in 2026
Smart Asset has revealed the salary it takes to live comfortably in each US state in 2026. A single adult now requires at least $80,000 a year to live in every state, while the threshold exceeds $100,000 in nearly half of states. The study used MIT Living Wage Calculator data to analyze the living wage in each state, which a full-time worker must earn to cover minimum basic needs and adjusted it using the 50/30/20 budgeting rule. The resulting estimate represents the annual pre-tax income needed for a family of four. Massachusetts and Hawai'i are the most expensive states to liveably, with Massachusetts having an income requirement of $329,555 and Hawai’i having an average of $129,002. Mississippi and West Virginia are the least expensive states for a single adult. In six states, the income needed to live freely has declined since 2025.

Chamath Palihapitiya Sounds The Alarm On AI's $400 Billion Debt Problem — And Why Treasury Investors Should Care
Venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya has warned that the artificial intelligence boom is becoming a debt-fueled spending spree, potentially creating a $400 billion debt problem for the broader financial markets. He noted that companies at the center of the AI boom, which were previously some of the most profitable and cash-generative businesses in the world, are starting to burn through their cash. Palihpitiya added that the AI complex now has roughly $340 billion to $400bn in debt, and this could increase significantly as companies continue investing through 2027. He warned that Big Tech has decided to reduce spending as it believes the investment will generate significant growth in the years ahead. Palhapitiy also noted that the amount AI companies need to raise through the end of 2027 could equal roughly 30% of all the debt the U.S. Treasury is expected to issue during that period.

Malaysia’s seven heritage players free to play again as Fifa bans end, four of them at JDT
Malaysian heritage players who were previously handed 12-month suspensions by Fifa have now been allowed to resume all football-related activities. The Malaysian Football League (MFL) confirmed this in a circular dated Oct 30, stating that the suspensions imposed on the players had ended yesterday. Four of the seven players, Facundo Garces, Rodrigo Holgado, Imanol Machuca, Joao Figueiredo, Gabriel Palmero, Jon Irazabal and Hector Hevel, play for Johor Darul Ta’zim (JDT), while Holgado is on the verge of joining DPMM FC. The controversy arose after Fifa found that falsified documents had been used to support the eligibility of foreign-born players to represent Malaysia in international matches. In March, the Court of Arbitration for Sport partially upheld the seven player appeals against Fifa’s sanctions over the falsification of naturalisation and eligibility documents.

Tusk has alleged Russian interference in the political crisis in Poland - Poland
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has accused pro-Russian forces of supporting politicians opposing changes to the Constitutional Tribunal. According to Tusk, opponents are supported by an army of Russian bots and their actions have been endorsed by representatives of the Kremlin. This comes after a conflict between the government and President Karol Nawrocki escalated, with the latter describing the removal of the Tribunal's leadership as an illegal takeover of a state body. Tusk did not present any technical evidence of coordinated activity by Russian bots or direct interference by Russian state bodies.

El-Sayed, Rogers seek Jewish, Black vote in tight Michigan Senate race
Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers is appealing to Jewish, Black and Jewish voters in his bid to defeat Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the upcoming Michigan Senate race. Despite trailing in several polls as Election Day approaches, Rogers has said his campaign is gaining ground with Black and Democratic voters in key areas of the state. During an October 29 GOP campaign rally in South Carolina, President Donald Trump also criticized El-El-Say for focusing on Black and Jewry voters. While Rogers' polling within the Black community is around 7%, he appears to have a significant ally within the Jewish community. For El-Egyptian Abdul El Sayed's chances to become the first Muslim member of the Senate, he needs a significant share of both groups, especially in metro Detroit.

Why your Medicare drug plan costs will be higher in 2027
A new analysis by KFF, a health policy nonprofit, has revealed that average monthly premiums for Medicare prescription drug plans will increase by 50% in 2027, according to KFF. The average monthly premium for millions of Americans enrolled in a Medicare stand-alone prescription drug plan will be $51 in 2020, up from $34 in 2026, according the nonprofit. However, enrollees in Medicare can find lower-cost drug plans during open enrollment, which runs until Dec. 7. KFF's estimates are significantly more than what the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reported in September, which estimated the average monthly cost for stand-exclusive Part D prescription drug programs would be $36 in 2025, up about $1 from 2026. Other rising costs for Medicare include a $2 cap on what Medicare enrollees paid out of pocket for prescription drugs, and a $9 per month for drug coverage included in Medicare Advantage plans. The cost of brand name drugs and non-preferred drugs will also increase in 2028. The rise in monthly premiums is also due to inflation, with most enrollees facing a deductible of several hundred dollars for drug use in 2023.
