My latest Moneyist column:

‘My wife never went back to work after raising our kids. Do I have to share my retirement savings 50/50?’

This is a problem of perception as much as one of finance.

Latest Moneyist letter:

‘I have a low interest rate. I’m 80 years old. Should I move out of my house because of dangerous stairs?'

He has $400,000 in equity hidden under those stairs. Should he downsize, rent or undertake a renovation?

My latest Moneyist letter:

‘I’m never selling. I’m 47 and buy bitcoin with every dollar I earn. Am I crazy?’

A letter to my Moneyist column:

‘I earned $30,000 as a pastor and still retired comfortably. Why don’t you tell people that?’

My response: ‘It’s tempting to extrapolate our successes or sacrifices and say, “I did it. Why can’t you?”’

'I spend my time and money caring for my aging mother — yet she gave my brother $100,000. Should I withdraw my support?'

“You just said that 10% doesn’t seem an unreasonable estimate that AI could kill all humans”

“Yes”

“Wow… oh my God.”

Your retirement is a jigsaw. The puzzle you had in your 30s and 40s will influence the one you see in your 60s.

A lot of readers have responded to this column. It obviously strikes a chord…

‘We are committed Christians’: Our son and daughter-in-law cut us out of their lives after a political argument. Should we change our $3 million will?
