Beating Uncle Sam means paying taxes (early) | A new retiree feels abandoned by the financial industry | The danger of losing money and saying, “this time it will be different.” | Don’t make your widow and kiddos pay for your tax mistakes

Inflation is now over 9 percent, but is your income rising at the same rate? Everyone tells you to save for retirement, but what do they say when you get there?
