The new income thresholds have been released, but what is defined as "upper-middle class" now comes with new tradeoffs.

A salary that once promised stability now comes with unexpected tradeoffs. Six figures used to signal financial confidence, but today, that assumption feels outdated. Rising costs and regional price gaps have quietly rewritten the rules of comfort.

Money Mistakes Baby Boomers Tried To Warn Millennials About—But They Didn’t Listen

Baby boomers didn’t always explain money well—but many of their warnings came from hard-earned mistakes. To millennials, that advice often sounded outdated, annoying, or incomprehensible in a Charlie Brown–teacher sort of way. Now, a lot of millennials are realizing—usually mid-budget crisis—that those warnings weren’t totally wrong after all.

Dad Listening

I loaned my dad $25,000 to start a business. He bought a truck and a boat instead. How do I get my money back?

Lending money to a parent often feels safe, yet family loans carry a higher risk than most people expect, with non-repayment rates historically hovering between 14 and 20 percent. This unspoken assumption tends to follow the idea that family money is governed by family rules. When the loan was meant to launch a business, it likely felt justified, almost like an investment in a shared future. Confusion sets in quickly once that money reappears as a truck or a boat. The problem is not the purchase alone, but the realization that expectations never aligned. Before frustration takes over, slowing down and treating the situation as a financial issue that needs structure can change the entire tone.

Dollar bills aren't all created equal. The eight-digit code on each note determines whether it's worth a buck or a fortune. Collectors pay hundreds for the right combinations. Time to check that wallet.
