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? (Copy)

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”.

Woman worried about renovations

I want to renovate our kitchen before selling to increase the home’s value, but my husband says we won’t recoup the cost. Is he right?

You’re about to sell, and your instinct is clear: update the kitchen, boost the value, sell for more. Your partner, on the other hand, says you’ll spend a fortune and never get it back. So, who’s right?

I took out a $20,000 loan to buy NFTs. They’re now worthless. Can I claim that as a loss?

Taking out a $20,000 loan to buy NFTs once seemed like a calculated risk in a booming digital market. Now those tokens are effectively worthless, leaving the borrower with debt and few options. The central question becomes whether this financial loss can be realized and claimed as a capital loss, typically requiring a sale or proof of worthlessness/abandonment under IRS rules. NFTs sit at the intersection of emerging technology and established financial law, creating uncertainty about how losses are treated. Traditional lending rules still apply to the loan, yet digital assets operate in volatile markets with evolving regulations. The tension between innovation and established legal frameworks makes recovery complicated.
