Congress passed the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement Act (SECURE Act) in 2019 to help Americans better prepare for retirement.

Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Idea of You. These are grim days for romance. Marriage is down. Engagements are down. People don't seem to be into dating apps anymore. Even sex is down. The most successful movie last year (Barbie) was about the guy not getting the girl. Where does this leave romantic comedies, that great engine of fantasy that has launched a 100,000 Hinge profiles?
