What that looks like and how they got there.  SBF is in jail for violating terms of house arrest, Gold, Crypto or diversification and the best states to retire. Plus Phil Mickelson may have a gambling issue.

Starting next year it will cost you more to send your triplets to college.  On the plus side, loan repayment may be easier.  Anyone up for paying $4000 to get your daughter into a sorority???

Aretha Franklin’s will dispute resolved, Harvard costs nearing $100K per year and inflation continues to head south. Plus that catch-up contribution will be headed to a Roth, the SEC is looking at a Bitcoin ETF application and Cheryl cannot contain her enthusiasm for a recent IRS ruling that tells they have no ruling.

Zuckerberg vs Musk, Threads vs Twitter.  The latest on student debt forgiveness, concierge doctors and removing taxes for your heirs.  Plus yet another social security scam and more people working into their 80’s.

Those student loan payments are likely back on your pay list this summer.  Watch out for Zombie loans coming back to foreclose on your home.  More crypto crime, the 4 figure car payment and Apple’s mixed reality headset for “only $3500” {Gulp!}.  Plus online banks are raking in the deposits.

Here comes the debt ceiling standoff. But if we sell out equities and buy treasuries, are we in greater danger? Company perks give me first class plane travel so it’s ok if my spouse flies coach, right? The IRS might offer a free filing system.  Is that fair to TurboTax and H&R Block? If yes, what should you do about your state filings?
