My hot take: Parents should be saying "yes" to more sleepovers. When my children — ages 14, 12, and 10 — come to me, usually flanked by a friend, eyes shining with unhinged hope and trepidation to ask for a sleepover, I almost always agree to it. Perhaps this decision isn't as controversial as it feels, but often, my "yes" is met by a "no" from the friend's parents'. And I get it.

Millions of workers worry they'll reach retirement age only to realize there isn't enough money to quit their jobs. And those who have already retired may hold an even bigger concern — that they are going to run out of the money they set aside for this chapter of their lives. The smartest way to save money and plan for the unknowable is to study your present habits, examine your hopes, and watch out for signs that your plan is going off the rails.

Dear For Love & Money,My parents have a lake house, and every Fourth of July, my siblings and I spend a week there with them. I'm the youngest, and my siblings are both married. My older sister had a baby last summer. That just isn't the season of life I'm in. I'm still dating for fun, establishing my career, and enjoying relaxing with a cold beer. My mom called me to let me know that with the new baby, the vibe will be different this year.

Dear For Love & Money,I'm a direct person. I say what I mean and mean what I say. This approach has always worked for me. Even when my honesty upsets people, at least they know where they stand with me. Except for with my husband's family. He and I had a whirlwind romance and got married within six months of meeting. I have no regrets, and every day I get to know my husband more, the better I feel about my choice. He is respectful, considerate, always shows up for his people, and loves me.

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.
