Smart Spending: Olympic Star's Hustle, Budget Watches, & Free NHL!

Catherine O'Hara, the celebrated comedy icon known for her roles in "Schitt's Creek" and "Home Alone," died Friday at the age of 71, according to Time. O'Hara, whose career spanned over half a century, was renowned for her portrayal of eccentric and larger-than-life characters.

O'Hara's performances were often described as histrionic, narcissistic, and full of passion, as she excelled at playing characters at the end of their ropes or legends in their own minds, Time reported. She was known for her ability to portray women with enormous feelings and little to no filter.

Beyond acting, the world of sports also saw its share of financial realities. Lauryn Williams, an Olympic track and bobsled champion, experienced a significant shift in income, Fortune reported. Williams, who earned $200,000 a year at age 20, later interned for $12 an hour by the age of 30. Despite being the first American woman to medal in both the Summer and Winter Olympics, her post-Olympic opportunities were limited. "There's this misconception that because I'm the first to do this thing—and still no one else has done it—that I'm booked all year long for speaking engagements," Williams told CNBC Make It, according to Fortune. "I get things here or there, but I can't make a living from it." She added that she made $80,000 the year she became the first American woman to medal in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

In other news, the NHL Stadium Series 2026 is set to feature a game between the Boston Bruins and the Tampa Bay Lightning at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, Variety reported. The game, scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 1, will see the Atlantic Division rivals battling for glory. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET/3:30 p.m. PT. According to Variety, Tampa Bay is currently at the top of the conference, while Boston is vying for a wild card spot for the playoffs.

For consumers looking for affordable options, Wired highlighted prepaid phone plans as a way to avoid overpaying for data. Prepaid cellular service allows users to pay in advance for network access, offering flexibility without long-term contracts. Wired recommended US Mobile Prepaid Phone Plans as the best overall option, while ATT Unlimited Annual Prepaid was named the best annual plan. Tello Custom Plans were recognized as the best budget option, and Boost Mobile Unlimited Plans were highlighted for their retail presence.

Wired also offered advice for those interested in building a watch collection on a budget, noting that affordable brands have learned to take design cues from luxury timepieces. The article emphasized that one doesn't need an expensive Swiss movement to tell time or look good.

World in Flux: Israel Bans MSF, Venezuela Frees Advocate, Musk Aims for Orbit

Multiple news sources report that Israel intends to ban Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) from operating in Gaza after the charity refused to provide a staff list, citing concerns for their safety, despite Israel's claim that some MSF staff have ties to armed groups and its requirement for all humanitarian organizations to submit employee lists. This action is part of a broader Israeli effort to revoke the licenses of 37 international NGOs operating in Gaza and the West Bank, a move condemned by several countries who fear it will severely impact access to essential services.
