I agreed to be a 1% owner to help my son get a mortgage. Now I’m selling my home and being told I’ll lose my capital gains tax break. How bad is this?

This home sale was expected to be routine. Then a small detail surfaced during paperwork review: the homeowner is listed as a 1% owner on another property. That single line of text is now dominating conversations with lenders and tax professionals.

Financial Anxiety - Fb

I make $400k a year but still feel anxious about money. Is that financial trauma or reality?

You'd think earning $400,000 annually would silence every financial worry rattling around your head at 3 AM. But here's the uncomfortable truth: wealth doesn't automatically equal peace of mind. If you're pulling in six figures and still checking your bank balance obsessively, calculating whether you can "afford" a vacation, or feeling that familiar knot in your stomach when unexpected expenses arise, you're experiencing something psychologists increasingly recognize as a legitimate phenomenon. Whether rooted in childhood poverty, sudden wealth acquisition, or the very real pressures of maintaining an upper-middle-class lifestyle in today's economy, financial anxiety at high income levels deserves examination rather than dismissal.

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.
