Diagnosis Fills Wife’s Head With Doubts

DEAR ABBY: I have recently been diagnosed with a chronic illness. I am only 40, and I always took for granted that I had plenty of life left to live. I’m happily married, but I worry because my husband, “Al,” has become my caretaker. I feel terrible about it. My condition is very limiting.

Al swears he just wants to be with me no matter what we have to go through. I’m just not sure I can handle holding him back ...

Dear Heloise: I read your column whenever I can. I saved one of your columns, “Tips to Save Electricity,” that was published long ago. You missed a great opportunity to suggest reviving an old practice: hanging laundry out to dry. It conserves energy, saves money and prolongs the life of clothing or linens. It is a practice rarely seen today. Many will say, “My community won’t allow it.” If you care to do the research, you will find that there are federal statutes that allow measures to be taken for the conservation of energy. Guidelines may be written (e.g., only in your ...

Employer-Matched 401(k)s: Too Tempting To Cash Out?

By LIZ WESTON NerdWallet Many companies try to help their workers to save for retirement. Employers often offer 401(k)s, company matches and automatic enrollment to encourage saving. Much of that effort goes to waste, though, when employees leave. A study published last year in Marketing Science, a peer-reviewed research journal, found more than 40% of departing workers cashed out at least part of their 401(k)s, and most of those drained every dime. What’s more, employers may bear at least some of the blame, according to researchers Yanwen Wang of the University of British ...
