All eggs in one basket
My dad is insisting on selling the family house now that mum has retired and giving the proceeds to his friend’s son to invest. We’re nervous because it’s a lot of money and his friend’s son isn’t a licenced broker.

Editor’s Note: Your concern is valid. Although your dad’s friend and his son may have the best of intention, its common practice not invest with friends who are not registered professionals. Using a licensed professional is the safest way to be sure you’re getting the best advice and that your funds are being well-managed. Experts suggest shopping around to find the best fit for your dad’s individual needs and future financial requirements.
Feeling included
Your articles are wonderful and I enjoy your publication but I was wondering if your magazines or websites had any articles pertaining to the BIPOC community?

Is it Ableist?
Hey there. I am curious about which words to use to describe certain disabilities and which words are considered ableist. I hear the term the other day. Is there an index or dictionary for it? Thanks, in advance.
