    ‘He wants to leave the house to his children, but says if I outlive him I can live in it or rent somewhere if I wish to move.’
  • The Moneyist: I’m 30. My wife is 34. We saved $350K and I have $325K saved for retirement. Should we pay cash for a home — or take out a mortgage and invest it?
    ‘We have been cheaply renting for the last three years, and living as if I were still a very poor graduate student. During this time, we paid off all of our debts.’
  • Weary of #fakenews, more Americans are getting their COVID-related news from peer-reviewed medical journals
    Social media doesn’t help people differentiate what is real from what is fake, but this class of publications might.
  • The Moneyist: I received two $1,400 stimulus payments because I was also claimed as a dependent. Should I give one back?
    The Moneyist: ‘You cannot be claimed as a dependent and file a tax return yourself and expect a payment. It’s one or the other.’
  • The Moneyist: My wife drinks and gambles our money away, and my adult stepchildren are deadbeats who do drugs and play video games. What can I do?
    ‘We literally have nothing in savings and no plan for retirement, due to the fact that no one but me seems to care. At this rate, I am going to have to work until I’m 150.’
