Michael Royer has been secretly tossing his wife’s socks into the trash for years. Not her everyday pairs, but the size-14 ones her mom orders as gifts from fast-fashion sites like Temu. He’s done it nearly a dozen times, burying them under garbage to avoid detection. “She’ll never wear them,” said Royer, a 33-year-old food insecurity researcher living in San Jose, Calif. “And she never notices they’re gone.”Copyright ©2025 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Royer asked that we not mention the socks to his wife, and said he hopes she doesn’t read this article. For many couples, that is leading to tense negotiations, stealth purges and emotional standoffs over what gets to stay.

Ups and downs of stocks matter when it comes time to pull money outFinancial professionals say leave your money alone in a roller-coaster market. Parents with college-age children don’t necessarily have that option.

Riiuleid palistasid vanad fotoaparaadid. Keldritäis lääpavajunud pappkaste kätkes vinüülplaate, müstilise salakoodi järgi sorteeritud. Haamreid leidus garaažis üksteist tükki. Köögipindu polnud praktiliselt näha – niivõrd lookas olid nad pottide, pannide ja masinate all. Ühest mikserist ei puudunud kunagise eine kuivanud jäänused.
