The video series

Case Files

Each video follows a fictional couple, Linda and Tom, through one real money decision. We test every option, show the source of every figure, and finish with a clear verdict. Then you can run the same check on your own numbers.

    How a Case File works

    The same five steps, every time

    1. A real question

      Something people over 50 actually argue about at the kitchen table.

    2. Everyone has advice

      We test the popular answer, as a sister, a friend or a church bulletin would give it.

    3. The numbers

      Taxes, Medicare, Social Security and cash, all in one picture.

    4. The receipts

      Every figure with its source, so you can check it yourself.

    5. The verdict

      A clear answer for Linda's facts, plus what would change it.
