I'm the CEO of a non-profit. Our C-Suite just went on a trip to St. Barts. Can we write this off on our taxes if we call it "networking"?

Tempted to call that luxury C-suite retreat in St. Barts “networking” and move on? This sharp, CEO-level guide breaks down what nonprofits can—and absolutely can’t—write off, how the IRS really evaluates executive travel, and why documentation, optics, and intent matter more than the destination. Perfect reading for nonprofit leaders who want to stay compliant without killing the vibe.

Woman Concerned in the office hallway

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?

I’m the only woman in an office full of men who constantly make “jokes” about my appearance. I thought we were beyond this in 2025. What should I do?

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?

When a loved one passes away without a will, settling their estate can quickly become a nightmare. If you were promised something but never got it in writing, you might find yourself in a difficult position when you try to claim it as yours.

I spent my rent money on Black Friday deals. I thought I was being frugal. The landlord says eviction papers are next. Can I stall this?

The doorbell rang at 7 am, and the envelope that slid under the door carried an unmistakable weight. Inside, legal language spelled out a three-day notice to pay or quit—the formal beginning of eviction proceedings. Those discounted electronics and half-price furniture suddenly felt like anchors dragging a household toward homelessness. When anyone decides to spend designated rent funds on retail therapy creates a cascade of legal consequences that move faster than most people realize, and once a landlord files eviction paperwork, the timeline becomes ruthlessly mechanical. Stalling tactics exist, but they operate within strict legal boundaries that vary dramatically by state, and misunderstanding these rules accelerates rather than delays the process. Understanding what options remain requires separating Hollywood myths from actual tenant law.

Stress facts

I was evicted for renovations and moved into a higher rent place. A year later the old place looks the same and is up for sale. Can I get compensated?

If you were evicted because of planned building renovations, by law the landlord has to actually do the planned work.

Your Car, Gone

I co-signed a loan for my son. He defaulted, and now the bank is taking my car. Can they really do that?

You thought you were helping your kid out. Maybe it was a car loan, student debt, or a personal loan to get them on their feet. You signed your name on that dotted line as a co-signer, figuring your son would handle the payments as he promised. Fast forward a few months or years, and now you're staring at a repossession notice or a demand letter from the bank. They want your car. Your savings. Maybe even a lien on your house. The gut-punch question hits hard: can they actually do this? The short answer is yes, they absolutely can. When you co-signed that loan, you didn't just vouch for your son's character or give him a confidence boost. You legally bound yourself to the entire debt as if you'd borrowed the money yourself. The bank doesn't see you as a backup plan or a safety net. In their eyes, you're a co-borrower with equal responsibility.

Enough for retirement

I only have $1.2 million saved for retirement, but I don’t want to sell my lake house. Can I still retire comfortably?

The worry often begins with a simple thought that slowly grows louder: there is $1.2 million saved for retirement, yet a beloved lake house remains firmly off the table for selling. It represents decades of memories and a lifestyle that feels essential to happiness. At the same time, retirement brings uncertainty about how long savings must last. This tension between financial security and emotional attachment is more common than most people realize. The encouraging truth is that retirement comfort is rarely decided by one factor. It is shaped by how spending habits and property work together over time.

Perplexed man in modern apartment

My landlord refuses to return my security deposit because of excessive “wear and tear.” How do I fight this?

You clean the place, return the keys, and wait for your security deposit...only to be told it’s being kept because of “excessive wear and tear.” If you’re staring at a list of charges that feels unfair or inflated, you’re not powerless. There are clear rules around wear and tear, and landlords don’t get to redefine them just because a tenant moved out.
