    Caring for Mom and Getting Paid? Without a Contract, It Could Cost Her Medicaid (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Picture this: Your mother can’t live on her own anymore, so you cut back your hours at work and start taking care of her. She insists on paying you $2,000 a month. It’s her money, it’s fair, and nobody writes anything down. Three years later, she needs a nursing home and applies for Medicaid. That’s when the handshake deal comes back to bite.

    Costco’s Biggest Money-Saver Isn’t Inside the Warehouse (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Ask most people to name the best deal at Costco, and you’ll hear about the rotisserie chicken or the food-court hot dog. Costco would point you somewhere else: the gas station out in the parking lot. On the company’s Sept. 24 earnings call, CEO Ron Vachris said Costco estimates it “saved our members over $3.2 billion versus the average price at the pump” in its markets during the fiscal year that just ended.

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Imagine opening your mailbox and finding a letter that says the company you worked for all those years no longer pays your pension. An insurance company you’ve never heard of does. You didn’t agree to it. You didn’t get a vote. And it’s perfectly legal. It’s called a pension risk transfer, and it’s big business. Employers moved $31.3 billion in pension obligations to insurers through buyouts in 2025, according to LIMRA, the insurance industry’s research group. Pension deals that year covered mor

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    You know shrinkflation. The candy bar that got a little smaller. The cereal box with a little more air in it. The price on the shelf doesn’t move, so you don’t notice you’re paying more for less. Amazon has been doing the same thing to Prime. The price hasn’t budged since February 2022, when an annual membership went from $119 to $139. But what you get for that $139 has been shrinking. Piece by piece, Amazon has pulled perks out of the package, then offered to sell some of them back to you. Here
