Restaurants From The 1970s That Baby Boomers Loved—But Millennials Have Never Heard Of (Or Eaten At)

For Baby Boomers in the 70s, these were the restaurants you went to after shopping, on family road trips or when nobody felt like cooking. Some even counted as a fancy night out. Today, mention their names to a Millennial and they won't know what you're talking about. How many do you remember? And also, if you could—which ones would you bring back?

Woman concerned about pay app

I was tricked into sending money through an app, but my bank won’t dispute the charge because I “authorized” it. Is there any way to get my money back?

You didn’t get hacked. You didn’t have your card stolen. You sent the money yourself, because someone convinced you to. Now the bank says the charge was authorized, so there’s nothing they can do. Unfortunately, this is one of the hardest types of fraud to reverse, but “hard” doesn’t mean “impossible”.

Concerned Woman On Phone With Credit Card And Bill In Hand

I'm getting calls about a random credit card I signed up for in college. I never used it, but they say it's maxed out. Can they really do that?

The landlord says I’m competing with other applicants and have to pay to hold the unit. How do I avoid getting scammed?

You finally find a place that looks perfect, the landlord responds quickly, but then the pressure starts: “Other applicants are interested. If you want it, you need to pay a deposit to hold the unit.” This is exactly how rental scams work. The good news is you can protect yourself without losing every decent listing, as long as you know what to look for and how to slow the situation down.
