I just heard about a plan where no one can have more than $1 billion. It sounds like it could fix everything—would it solve poverty?

No billionaires. No extreme wealth gaps. Just a hard cap—once someone hits $1 billion, everything above gets taken and redistributed. It sounds like the kind of idea that could fix a lot of problems overnight. After all, $1 billion is more money than most people could spend in a lifetime.

My boyfriend refuses to budget and says it kills the fun of money. We're supposed to move in together. Am I making a mistake?

If your partner says budgeting kills the fun of money, you are not alone. Plenty of couples clash because one person wants freedom and the other wants a plan. The big question is not whether budgeting is boring, but whether the two of you can make decisions together without secrecy, chaos, or resentment.

Angry man, Happy nurse

I bought a house when my mother was sick, expecting an inheritance. Instead she left it all to the nurse who cared for her for 5 years. What can I do?

You made a major financial decision based on what seemed like a sure thing. Then everything flipped. Your mother passed away, and instead of an inheritance, her caregiver received it all. It feels wrong, but is it actually illegal?
