A Man Sitting at the Table

I prepaid for my dad's funeral. I just learned funeral home went out of business. He passed, and now I need to start all over. Can I get that money back?

When a family prepays for a funeral, it’s usually done with a sense of relief as a gesture of one major burden being lifted. But that relief can turn into panic when the funeral home suddenly shuts its doors, and leaves families wondering what became of the money they trusted someone else to safeguard. This situation is more common than people assume, and the first instinct is often fear that the money is simply gone. Yet the reality is more hopeful: most prepaid funeral funds are legally protected through state-mandated trusts or insurance, though risks of mismanagement persist as seen in recent fraud cases, and families often have multiple paths to recover what they put aside, as long as they understand who still has authority over it.

banks and stores avoid the $50 bill

Don't ask a bank teller for $50 bills, but don't worry, there's actually a reason banks avoid that specific bill.

Unlike other denominations, the $50 bill sits at an uncomfortable crossroads between daily spending and large transactions. Over time, technology, security concerns, and consumer behavior quietly pushed it out of favor across the modern American economy.

Worried woman using a phone

I joined a “get rich quick” investment group on Facebook. I sent $5,000 in crypto, and now the group’s gone. Is there any way to recover it?

Facebook investment scams follow a predictable pattern, and speed is the hook. A post appears on a quiet afternoon promising fast gains, framed by images of polished young professionals and screenshots showing balances climbing. Comments pile up quickly, filled with praise and short success stories that suggest momentum and safety. Those cues push aside hesitation, and just like that, interested members are pulled from public threads into private messages, then urged to send crypto, which settles within minutes and leaves no easy trail back. Once enough money arrives, the group shuts down without warning. The loss feels abrupt because the setup depends on silence after urgency. This cycle repeats daily, catching people who trust regulated systems and expect accountability where none exists.

We got a new boss, and he immediately cut therapy coverage from our health insurance and got rid of mental health days. Is that even legal in 2026?

Mental health benefits were supposed to be the bare minimum by now. Right? Therapy coverage. Time off to reset. These are things companies have been bragging about offering for years now. So is it even legal, in this day and age, to get rid of them altogether?

America’s One Percent Prefer To Live In These US States, According To Data

In 2025, residents of 38 states and Washington, DC made the Forbes 400 list, but more than half of the total $6.6 trillion represented lives in just a handful of states. Ranked from tenth to first, these are the states that America’s one percent clearly prefers—along with the single richest resident anchoring each one.
