“I am getting a $250,000 settlement after I was shot. How do I invest this so I don't mess it up?”

“My dad offered to act as a bank for my home purchase.”

“My job wants me to push their credit cards and HELOCs. I feel conflicted—should I find a different job?”

“My boyfriend spends four nights a week at my place. Should I start to expect him to financially contribute?”
