Money gone fast.

I tried to save money by doing my own taxes. Now the IRS says I owe $14,000. That would ruin me, am I completely doomed?

That sinking feeling when you open an envelope from the IRS and see a five-figure number staring back at you is genuinely stomach-churning. You thought you were being smart and thrifty by filing your own taxes, maybe using some free software or just winging it with the forms. Fast forward a few months, and suddenly you're facing a $14,000 bill that feels like it appeared out of nowhere. Your mind races through worst-case scenarios: wage garnishment, property seizure, maybe even jail time. But here's the thing about IRS debt that most people don't realize until they're knee-deep in it. You're probably not so doomed as you think you are, and that terrifying number isn't necessarily set in stone.

I bought a brand-new car I couldn’t afford just to impress my hyper-competitive coworkers. Now it’s been repossessed. Can I fix my credit?

Buying a car to impress people who barely think about you is expensive. However, losing that car to repossession is even more expensive as the bill keeps coming long after the tow truck leaves. If you're reading this with an empty parking space and a sinking feeling in your gut, you already know the damage is done. A repossession is a serious financial wound that shows up on your credit report for seven years and tanks your score by 100–150 points almost immediately. But can you actually recover from this? Yes. Will it be quick or easy? Absolutely not. Thousands of people dig themselves out of repo situations every year, rebuilding their credit from the ground up. The path forward requires honesty about what went wrong, strategic action to minimize the damage, and patience while your credit slowly heals.

Woman concerned about job scam

I applied for a remote job and got hired quickly, but now they want my banking info “for payroll setup.” How do I tell if it’s a fake job scam?

You apply for a remote job and you’re hired almost immediately. It feels like a win—until they ask for your banking information to “set up payroll”. That’s when the excitement shifts into suspicion. Is this normal onboarding, or are you about to hand your financial information to a scammer?

When Stores Prefer You Tap Over Swiping, It’s To Protect Themselves

It happens almost everywhere now. Before you even reach for the card reader, they’re already suggesting tap. It sounds like a small convenience—but it isn’t random.

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?
