Dear For Love & Money,My daughter, who is 20, recently became engaged to her high school sweetheart. They are planning a wedding for summer 2026. She expects me to pay for the wedding like I always promised, but I think getting married this young is a huge mistake, and it's one I don't want to help her make. Her father and I also met in high school, married young, had two kids, and then divorced after I learned he had been serially unfaithful.

Dear For Love & Money,My grandmother died last year and left me an inheritance of $60,000. I want to use it to pay off debt: We have a $12,000 car loan, $5,000 in credit card debt, and $20,000 in student loans. I would like to put $10,000 in emergency savings, and the rest toward our mortgage principal. It won't be much, but it's something, and I think it's worthwhile to chip away where we can. My husband disagrees.

Dear For Love & Money,My wife and I have had decent jobs covering our comfortable lifestyles for over two decades of marriage. Our kids are getting older, however, nearing college, and one is heavily involved in sports. Between inflation, baseball tournaments, and other opportunities for our teens, lately, we've become buried in credit card debt. My wife and I agree the situation isn't tenable, but we disagree on what to do about it.
