My boss replaced annual raises with pizza parties and says employees prefer it. Is anyone actually buying that?

If your boss is acting like a pepperoni pizza can do the job of a pay increase, you are not imagining the absurdity. The idea pops up often enough that it has become a workplace punchline, especially when budgets get tight and morale gets shaky. The short answer is that most workers are not buying it, and the data on pay, morale, and retention makes that pretty clear.

I lost big at the casino last week. If the IRS taxes gambling winnings, can I write off all my losses?

You walk into a casino hoping for a lucky night. But while you might know that the IRS wants its share when you win, the bigger question for most of us is: can we write it all off when we lose? The answer is more complicated than most gamblers realize.

My wife secretly guaranteed a loan for her best friend and now collectors are calling. Can someone else's debt become our problem?

It often starts with a phone call that makes no sense. A collector asks for your spouse, mentions a loan you have never heard of, and suddenly your household feels exposed. If your wife secretly guaranteed a friend's debt, the big question is whether that obligation can spill into your finances too.

Caretaker looking concerned

I became my father’s caregiver, and now I’ve drained my own savings. Is there government support for people in my situation?

Most people don't become caregivers because they planned for it. One day you're helping your dad get to appointments, and before long you're managing medications, handling paperwork, driving him everywhere, and spending money you never expected to spend. If you've watched your own savings account shrink while caring for a parent, you're definitely not alone. The good news is that there may be government programs, tax breaks, and other forms of assistance that can help ease some of the financial pressure.
