Why are Americans so financially illiterate? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I recently joined the board of my Manhattan co-op and I love it. One of my duties is reviewing applications for apartments, which — as both a prospective neighbor and a retirement economist — has been a revelation. It turns out, based on not only my limited sample but also more rigorous and representative surveys, a surprising number of people have no idea what they are doing when it comes to their finances. It’s not just the young folks with their DoorDash addictions. This is a multigenerationa
Your fourth-grader shouldn’t be worried about AI (opens the original)

By Allison Schrager, Bloomberg Opinion (TNS) When I was in fourth grade, everyone in my class had grand ideas about what they wanted to be when they grew up: a professional basketball player, a firefighter, a professor (I grew up in a college town), a farmer (that was also in the country).

Houses are no longer the best place for your money (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The median house price in Nantucket, Mass., is nearly $4 million. It was just $500,000 in 1995. This sounds like a stunning increase in one of the hottest and least accessible real estate markets in the country. What’s even more stunning is the stock market: If you invested $500,000 in the S&P 500 Index in 1995, you’d have more than $8.2 million today, even more if you reinvested the dividends you earned. Stocks have clearly been the superior investment, even as housing has moved out of reach fo
