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

Read excerpt
Treasury bills are paying real money again. The three-month T-bill yielded 4.28% as of late September, and the one-year paid 4.59%, according to the Treasury Department. The national average savings account paid 0.37% in September, according to FDIC figures tracked by the Federal Reserve of St. Louis.
