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”.

Hiding cash under the mattress

My uncle literally keeps all his money under his mattress and tells me I should do the same. Is that a bad idea?

Everyone has that one relative with strong financial opinions. Maybe it’s an aunt who insists credit cards are evil—or an uncle who swears the safest place for money is under the mattress. His reasoning might be simple: banks fail, systems crash, and cash you can physically see always feels secure. But before you start turning your bed into a savings account, it’s worth asking whether that strategy actually holds up.
