How to Use AI — and When to Question It
Sandra spent twenty minutes arguing with AI about a floating shelf. Not a metaphor. An actual shelf. The bracket was pulling away from the wall and she needed to know how to fix it.

How to Use AI Before Resigning From Your Job
You’ve been thinking about it for a while. Maybe a long while. And now the decision feels close. You’re ready to leave. Or you think you are.

How to Use AI Before a Salary Negotiation
You’ve been offered the job. Or your review is coming up. Or you’ve taken on more — and nothing has changed. You know you should say something. You’re just not sure what to ask for, what number to say, or how to start the conversation. So you stay quiet. Or you say something vague. Or Read more

How to Use AI to Check If Something Online Is Real
Something doesn’t feel right An email arrives that looks like it’s from your bank. A message from someone claiming to be a government agency. A deal that seems almost too good.

Tax season in the US arrives with a pile of forms. A W-2. Maybe a 1099. Possibly a 1098, a 1099-DIV, or a health insurance form you don’t fully recognise. You open your return — or your tax software — and something doesn’t add up. A box you don’t recognise. A deduction you’ve heard about Read more

How to Use AI to Make Better Decisions
Most decisions aren’t hard. They’re unclear. You’re weighing options. Overthinking. Going back and forth — and getting nowhere. It’s not that the decision is impossible. It’s that everything feels jumbled. Most people don’t need more information. They need better questions. This is where AI helps. Not by deciding for you — but by helping you Read more

How to Use AI to Deal With a Difficult Neighbor or Dispute
Neighbor disputes are uniquely stressful It’s not like a problem at work or a conversation you can avoid. The person is right there. You see them. They see you. Whatever happens between you has to be lived with — for as long as you both stay. That pressure makes most people do one of two Read more

How to Use AI to Understand Your Mortgage Options
Mortgages are confusing by design Not deliberately confusing — but the terminology is dense, the options are numerous, and the person explaining them to you has a financial interest in what you choose. That combination makes it hard to know if you’re actually understanding what’s being offered or just nodding along. AI doesn’t have a Read more

How to Use AI When You’re Going Through a Divorce or Separation
Separation doesn’t arrive cleanly. There’s the emotional side — which is its own thing. And then there’s everything else. The practical, legal, financial tangle that keeps demanding attention even when you have nothing left to give. What happens to the house? The accounts? The pension? Who gets what, and how does it actually work? Most Read more
