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”.

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.

Where Do You Land On The Retirement Wealth Pyramid? Most People Get It Wrong

Ask 10 people how much money you need to retire comfortably and you’ll likely hear 10 different answers. But when researchers actually look at the data, retirement wealth in America forms a very clear pyramid.

Older man frustration with technology and payments

My credit card expired and now I have to update every single subscription—even though the card number didn’t change. Why isn’t this automatic by now?

You get a new credit card in the mail because the old one expired. Same number. Same account. Just a new expiration date. Seems simple enough. But then the emails start arriving—payment failed, subscription paused, update billing info.
