First up, if you’re dating online—or know someone who is—you’ll want to read Lifetime Income's guide to romance scams. While most of us are pretty good at dodging dodgy emails and scam calls, the emotional pull of a “relationship” can make even the sharpest minds vulnerable. Learn how to spot the red flags, stay safe, and still enjoy positive connections online.
Next, we dive into the tricky territory of lending money to loved ones. Whether it’s helping the kids with a house deposit or supporting a friend through a rough patch, lending from your retirement savings can have big financial (and emotional) consequences. We walk you through the do’s and don’ts, including how to protect your income, your relationships, and your peace of mind.
Finally, a health nudge: if you’ve recently turned 65, don’t miss the chance to get your free shingles vaccine. Shingles isn’t just a rash—it can lead to nerve pain, eye damage, and even long-term complications. Bonus? Some early research suggests a potential link between shingles vaccination and a reduced risk of dementia.
Not bad for two quick jabs!
