FLOURISHING AFTER 50: I've found love again - but now my kids are worried they'll lose their inheritance
Dear Vanessa, I never thought I'd be writing to you, but here I am at 56, divorced for 10 years, and finally with a man who makes me feel alive again. We met on a hiking trip, and it's been wonderful – until we started talking about moving in together. He wants us to sell our homes and buy something new. I have more equity, so naturally, I'd be putting in more. My kids are worried I'll lose their inheritance if things don't work out. He thinks I'm overthinking it and that love means trusting each other. After everything I've been through, I just want to protect myself and my future. But I don't want money fears to ruin what could be the best chapter of my life. How do couples in their 50s blend finances without breaking their relationship? Wishing for guidance, Linda. Linda, congratulations on finding love again. Many people in their 50s believe that part of their life is over, so it's wonderful you've found happiness. You're also wise to pause and think before making big financial moves. Love is about trust, but later-in-life relationships often come with complex money matters that need clear agreements. When you've spent decades building your assets and raising children, combining finances isn't as simple as when you were younger. A co-habitation or prenuptial agreement can outline exactly what would happen if you separated. Far from being unromantic, it creates confidence that both of you will be treated fairly, allowing you to enjoy the relationship without financial anxiety hanging over you. If you decide to buy a home together, you don't need to split ownership 50/50. Many couples use arrangements where each person owns a percentage of the property that matches what they've contributed. This also allows you to leave your share to your children rather than it automatically passing to your partner if something happens to you. It's one of the most effective ways to protect family inheritance while still buying together. At 56, your pension and retirement savings are key to your long-term security. Putting too much of your equity into a shared home may leave you with less flexibility later to invest, increase your pension contributions, or cover healthcare needs. While your main home usually isn't counted in means-tested benefits, locking up most of your wealth in property can limit your options if life changes. Keeping some money separate can help you maintain independence and peace of mind well into your 70s and beyond. Money can be an uncomfortable topic, especially after divorce, but having open and calm conversations now is crucial. A financial adviser who understands blended families can model different scenarios for you – whether you keep separate homes, buy together equally, or use different ownership shares – so you can see exactly what's at stake. If you don't have an adviser, you can use my free service to find one who's right for you here. With professional advice and the right agreements in place, you can protect your children's inheritance, safeguard your retirement, and still build a secure and happy future with your new partner. Wishing you happiness and peace of mind,

View post: Walmart Is Selling a 'Powerful' $200 Electric Pressure Washer for $90, and Shoppers Are 'Very Impressed' With It Vince McMahon, former WWE boss, has been cited for reckless driving after crashing his Bentley Continental GT Speed into a BMW on a Connecticut parkway. No one was seriously hurt, but all three vehicles were towed. The incident adds to McMahon's mounting legal woes. A rare Prodrive P25 that originally sold for around $600,000 is now listed for nearly $1 million in the UK. View post: Spending $600,000 On The Most Expensive Subaru Ever Was A Great Investment There's a niche demand for a truck smaller than the Tacoma in the US. Toyota's still looking into it. Autoblog aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. Outdoor storage solutions like carports are becoming more popular than ever for their versatility and cost-effectiveness. Whether you're protecting a vehicle, setting up a pop-up workshop, or creating extra space for backyard events, a durable canopy-style shelter offers flexibility that a permanent structure simply can't. And with the right features, they can provide solid protection in just about any season. For a limited time, Walmart is offering a 50% discount on the Walsunny 10 by 20 Foot Heavy Duty Carport, bringing the price down to $200 from $400. This oversized portable shelter offers generous room for a car, truck, boat, or equipment, and it's designed with removable sidewalls and doors, so it doubles easily as a covered party space or vendor booth. It's the kind of multipurpose solution that works just as well for backyard storage as it does for outdoor events or working on a project car. The Walsunny carport is built around a powder-coated steel frame with 1.5-inch diameter legs and 1.2-millimenter thick poles that are made to resist rust and corrosion. The canopy is made from a durable tarp that's designed to withstand sun, rain, wind, and dust throughout the year. Eight reinforced legs, four sandbags, and four nylon ropes help anchor it down securely. It also comes with two roll-up zippered doors and two side panels with integrated ventilation windows to improve airflow and reduce moisture buildup. For added flexibility, all side panels can be removed to convert it into a fully open canopy. Assembly requires no special tools, and most users can get it set up in just a couple of hours with two or three people. According to buyers, the shelter lives up to its promises. One reviewer wrote, 'The item is very sturdy and weatherproof. Just what I needed.' Another added, 'Very well made and worth the price. Love it.' Others mentioned how quickly it came together, with one saying, 'We love it [and it's] easy to install.' Half-off deals like this don't usually last long, so head over to Walmart's site today and pick up the Walsunny 10 by 20 Foot Heavy Duty Carport for just $200 while you still can.

Trump must change course on tariff madness
When America sneezes, the world catches a cold. With US tariff rates due to hit their highest level since the 1930s, President Donald Trump's vendetta against perceived one-sided trading relationships is set to deal a considerable blow to consumer spending. The result was a wave of red across financial markets, and further speculation on interest rate cuts. The first quarter of this year saw US firms ramping up imports to stockpile products ahead of tariff announcements. When these tariffs were paused, this position unwound slightly, and GDP rose again. With tariffs now back on the table, growth is likely to weaken. The effects of this uncertainty may already be visible in labour markets. Figures from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed 73,000 new jobs in July, well below expectations of 110,000. Figures for May and June, meanwhile, were revised downwards by a huge margin. Mr Trump can claim to have made several major correct calls in his presidency. His victories in the culture wars arguably helped to trigger a global preference cascade that shifted the tone of conversation meaningfully to the Right, while his evisceration of wasteful US bureaucracies set an example of what could be achieved by leaders willing to ignore the squealing from state employees. On European affairs, moreover, he has been resolute and correct, telling our leaders the home truths they work furiously to deny. On migration, defence spending and the costs of net zero, Mr Trump has time and again pointed towards common sense conclusions seemingly beyond the grasp of our elite class, and on Israel and Gaza he has been a rare voice of moral sense. His two great errors, however, have been appalling. The first was his disastrous attempt to force Kyiv into striking a deal with President Putin. This has failed, and Mr Trump has, belatedly, come around to realising the threat posed by Moscow. The second was the imposition of tariffs on friendly nations. As a tool for decoupling from China, there is merit to Mr Trump's view. Within the West, however, it is an error, and one which he is now beginning to compound with his decision to sack the 'Biden Appointee' responsible for overseeing the BLS, and his desire to replace the official with 'someone much more competent and qualified'. As the travails faced by Britain's Office for National Statistics demonstrate, high quality economic data is not a given. This knee-jerk firing, however, is no way to bring about improvements that financial markets can trust. Mr Trump risks, instead, further undermining confidence in the US economy – and his presidency.
