I heat with a woodstove and want to fell some trees to use for firewood. My HOA says I can't and that the trees belong to them. Are they serious?

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?

I just bought a house and after closing I realized the sellers removed an expensive tree from the property. Can I get them to pay for a replacement?

You finally close on your new home, get the keys, and start settling in. Then you notice something is off: that large, beautiful tree that was in the yard when you toured the property is gone. Not trimmed. Not damaged. Completely removed. Now you’re left wondering what just happened and what you can do about it.

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”.
