SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH: Brought to you by BetterCreditCards.com

The “5-year plan” isn’t really a thing anymore. The average person is now planning 12 years ahead, according to new research. A survey of 2,000 employed Americans found that when thinking about saving for the future, nearly three-quarters of respondents said the 5-year plan is less achievable today than ever before, due inflation and school debt. To help reach their goals, nearly 4 in 10 said they’d take a second job to help put money towards their future. Others would prioritize necessary purchases and cut down on impulse spending (48%) while another 46% would work extra hours to prepare for their future.

The days of the self-serve soda fountain are numbered at McDonald’s. The fast-food giant plans to phase out the do-it-yourself stations over the next decade, citing hygiene, theft, and changing consumer eating habits. After the pandemic spurred the company to prioritize minimizing human contact, McDonald’s is moving to a system that gives diners the feel of a restaurant by having someone bring their food and drink. But don’t mourn the demise of self-serve soda too much – the company says refills will continue to be free, even after the machines are phased out, by 2032.

Pete Davidson has come clean – literally. The “Saturday Night Live” alum, who embarked on a comedy tour with John Mulaney and Jon Stewart this month, began his set in Atlantic City by announcing to the crowd: “I am fresh out of rehab, everyone. I got that post-rehab glow. Seventh time’s the charm!” He revealed during his routine that he took ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic drug that can have hallucinogenic effects, every day over a 4-year period, before to checking into rehab in June. Now, though, Davidson, who turns 30 in November, says he’s ready to turn over a new leaf. He explained: you “can’t do drugs in your 30s” because “it’s not cute anymore,” and at that point “you’re just a drug addict.”

D’oh! The longest-running primetime scripted show in TV history is set to return. Fox has released an extended trailer of “The Simpsons” upcoming 35th season.
