Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowOffice Landlords Skipping Their Own Rent?Ever heard of a landlord not paying their own rent? That’s what’s happening at the Chetrit Group’s HQ in NYC.

Brad Caldwell+FollowHow One Landlord Fought the Bank TrapEver feel like banks speak a different language? Penny Cheung, a Chinatown landlord, sure does. She paid her share on a failed restaurant loan, but a confusing contract (and a partner who vanished) left her facing foreclosure on her buildings. The twist? The bank put her money in a fund instead of paying off the debt, then hiked her interest and tried to take her properties. Lesson: Always bring a lawyer and never sign what you don’t fully understand—banks can play hardball! #RealEstate #MoneyMatters #RealEstateDrama100Share
Kathryn Olsen+FollowWhy Your Wallet Feels Lighter LatelyEver feel like your paycheck isn’t stretching as far, even though the news says the UK economy is booming? You’re not alone.

Tip: Track your spending and look for small ways to save—every little bit helps when costs creep up! #MoneyMatters #CostOfLiving #UKEconomy #Business #MakeMoney10Share
nkent+FollowRetirement Rules Just Got a MakeoverIf you’re eyeing retirement, heads up: you can now wait until age 73 (and soon 75!) before you have to start pulling money from your 401(k) or IRA. That means more time for your nest egg to grow and less stress about tax penalties. Plus, Roth 401(k)s are now RMD-free, just like Roth IRAs. Translation: more control over your cash, fewer surprise tax bills. Perfect for anyone who wants to stretch their savings or leave a little extra for the grandkids! #RetirementHacks #MoneyMatters #TaxTips #Business #MakeMoney21Share

If you’ve ever wondered where those subscription clothes go, turns out, sometimes straight into bankruptcy. The fallout? Brands like Vince are scrambling to keep their own rental dreams alive, while lawsuits are flying. Moral of the story: always read the fine print before you trust your closet to a startup! #FashionRental #StartupDrama #MoneyMatters #Business00Share
Emily Rogers+FollowSplitting Inheritance Without Tax DramaEver wondered what happens if you inherit a 401(k) and want to share it with your siblings? One Redditor is in that boat—she’s the only one listed on her dad’s account, so she gets the cash (and the tax bill). If she splits it, the IRS still sees her as the sole owner, so she pays all the taxes, then gifts the rest. Pro tip: talk to a tax pro before moving any money, or you could end up with less to share and more to pay! #InheritanceTips #MoneyMatters #FamilyFinance #Business40Share
Kim Reeves+FollowIs Your Bank Secretly Funding Coal?Turns out, even if your bank talks a big game about being eco-friendly, it might still be quietly backing polluting industries. HSBC just got called out for helping raise $1 billion for a major coal company, despite promising to ditch coal. Why does it matter? When banks break their green promises, it delays clean energy progress and keeps customers in the dark. If you care where your money sleeps at night, maybe it’s time to peek at your bank’s real track record. #MoneyMatters #Greenwashing #Banking #Business00Share
