Retiree thinking about downsizing

I own my home and plan to stay, but my children think I should downsize to cover retirement costs. Which plan is best?

Owning your home outright feels like winning the retirement game: there's no rent, no mortgage, and stability you worked decades for. That is, until your kids start asking uncomfortable questions about property taxes, maintenance, healthcare costs, and whether staying put is really “the smartest move.”

Vineyards - Fb

I love wine so I purchased a small vineyard, but it barely breaks even. Should I keep it for the lifestyle or sell for profit?

You wake up to rows of vines stretching toward the horizon, their leaves catching the morning light like thousands of tiny mirrors. The air smells of earth and possibility. Your vineyard—your beautiful, stubborn, financially questionable vineyard—is calling. It's decision time, and the calculator on your kitchen table tells a very different story than your heart does. The romance of winemaking crashes headlong into spreadsheet reality, and you're stuck in the middle, wondering if you're a passionate artisan or just someone who's really good at expensive hobbies. This isn't just about grapes and balance sheets. It's about choosing between two completely different futures.

You walk into work, and before you’ve even logged in, someone comments on your outfit. Another chimes in with a “joke” about your body. Everyone laughs, except you. It’s 2025—shouldn’t we be past this? Spoiler: we’re not.

My step-dad said his vintage Harley would be mine when he passed. Now that he’s gone, his son is claiming the bike. With no will, what can I do?

We got a new boss, and he immediately cut therapy coverage from our health insurance and got rid of mental health days. Is that even legal in 2026?

Mental health benefits were supposed to be the bare minimum by now. Right? Therapy coverage. Time off to reset. These are things companies have been bragging about offering for years now. So is it even legal, in this day and age, to get rid of them altogether?
