FLOURISHING AFTER 50: I've found love again - but now my kids are worried they'll lose their inheritance
Dear Vanessa, I never thought I'd be writing to you, but here I am at 56, divorced for 10 years, and finally with a man who makes me feel alive again. We met on a hiking trip, and it's been wonderful – until we started talking about moving in together. He wants us to sell our homes and buy something new. I have more equity, so naturally, I'd be putting in more. My kids are worried I'll lose their inheritance if things don't work out. He thinks I'm overthinking it and that love means trusting each other. After everything I've been through, I just want to protect myself and my future. But I don't want money fears to ruin what could be the best chapter of my life. How do couples in their 50s blend finances without breaking their relationship? Wishing for guidance, Linda. Linda, congratulations on finding love again. Many people in their 50s believe that part of their life is over, so it's wonderful you've found happiness. You're also wise to pause and think before making big financial moves. Love is about trust, but later-in-life relationships often come with complex money matters that need clear agreements. When you've spent decades building your assets and raising children, combining finances isn't as simple as when you were younger. A co-habitation or prenuptial agreement can outline exactly what would happen if you separated. Far from being unromantic, it creates confidence that both of you will be treated fairly, allowing you to enjoy the relationship without financial anxiety hanging over you. If you decide to buy a home together, you don't need to split ownership 50/50. Many couples use arrangements where each person owns a percentage of the property that matches what they've contributed. This also allows you to leave your share to your children rather than it automatically passing to your partner if something happens to you. It's one of the most effective ways to protect family inheritance while still buying together. At 56, your pension and retirement savings are key to your long-term security. Putting too much of your equity into a shared home may leave you with less flexibility later to invest, increase your pension contributions, or cover healthcare needs. While your main home usually isn't counted in means-tested benefits, locking up most of your wealth in property can limit your options if life changes. Keeping some money separate can help you maintain independence and peace of mind well into your 70s and beyond. Money can be an uncomfortable topic, especially after divorce, but having open and calm conversations now is crucial. A financial adviser who understands blended families can model different scenarios for you – whether you keep separate homes, buy together equally, or use different ownership shares – so you can see exactly what's at stake. If you don't have an adviser, you can use my free service to find one who's right for you here. With professional advice and the right agreements in place, you can protect your children's inheritance, safeguard your retirement, and still build a secure and happy future with your new partner. Wishing you happiness and peace of mind,

Brady Bunch star Susan Olsen doesn't look like this anymore as she is spotted on rare outing in LA
The Brady Bunch star Susan Olsen was seen on a rare public outing in LA recently - more than five decades after shooting to fame in the show. The 63-year-old actress - who played Cindy Brady from 1969 to 1974 - looked nearly unrecognizable when she stepped out to pick up her mail. Olsen put on a casual display in a black, graphic T-shirt with burgundy red shorts. Still sporting platinum blonde hair with bangs, she was spotted driving her white SUV. Her outing comes shortly after she revealed she almost died while filming the pilot episode for The Brady Bunch in the late 60s. She also recently opened up about the one gripe she had with playing the character of Cindy, the youngest Brady child of the bunch. Appearing on The Real Brady Bros podcast earlier this year, where she also revealed she was gravely injured while filming the pilot, she said she didn't appreciate playing a dumbed down character. Chatting with former co-stars Barry Williams and Christopher Knight, who played her TV brothers, she looked back on a scene from the pilot episode that illustrated Cindy's dense mind. In the episode, Cindy and sisters Marcia and Jan talk to their mom Carol ahead of her wedding. Carol says she feels butterflies, to which the youngest Brady replies, 'Are you sleeping with your mouth open, mommy?' 'That's just how my career was and it was something I had to accept,' Olsen said about her tendency to play dull roles. Williams, 70, weighed in: 'Do you understand that you were the cutest person in the world? You're just adorable.' The 63-year-old actress looked nearly unrecognizable when she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning And 67-year-old Knight added that the former child star Susan had a 'doll face.' Williams also said that he and Knight were aware that Olsen was 'a little bit uncomfortable with the nature' of her character. 'You're so much smarter than the character and you're so much edgier than your character. But here it is right there. You're saying the most idiotic thing imaginable,' he observed. During the same interview, Olsen also has revealed that a grave accident could have killed her while she filmed the pilot for the iconic series in the late 1960s. She recounted being left with a swollen face after lighting equipment fell directly onto her. 'My eyes were black. I mean, I had two black eyes. My nose was swollen. My face was swollen,' the actress said on the rewatch podcast. The incident happened the day before the cast gathered to film the pilot episode in 1969. Just seven years old at the time, Olsen had been getting her makeup done when she was struck. She shared the story with former costars Barry Williams and Christopher Knight, and she noted that she wished her family had sued the studio for the accident. 'The saddest news is that we didn't sue Paramount, because I would have made more off of that than the show,' Olsen said candidly. 'But I came to work the next day. Florence [Henderson] was the first one to see me. She's like, "You make sure everybody sees her." And my mom was like, "Oh, yes, I will." Because everybody was trying to say, "It didn't really hit her. She's fine."' The actress continued, 'I looked like I was in a horror film. And then everybody knew, yes, I had gotten hurt, and I had gotten hurt very badly.'

Snooty Nantucket residents outraged over new chain store opened on ritzy billionaire's island
Snooty Nantucket residents furious over the arrival of a chain store on their ritzy island are demanding its closure. Roller Rabbit, a pricey, high-end sleepwear brand with a dozen locations nationwide, opened its latest shop earlier this year, right in the heart of Nantucket's upscale downtown, according to Nantucket Current. But its arrival has sparked a ferocious backlash, as it directly violates the island's fiercely defended ban on franchises in the downtown area. Despite being ordered to 'immediately cease all business activity' on the affluent Massachusetts island, the boutique defiantly kept its doors open - making subtle changes in a bid to dodge the ban. The ban - officially called the Formula Business Restriction - is a town bylaw designed to preserve Nantucket's historic charm and shield local businesses from being drowned out by national and international retail chains. 'The proliferation of formula businesses will have a negative impact on the island's economy, historical relevance and unique character and economic vitality,' Nantucket Book Partners owner Wendy Hudson told the outlet. 'These uses are therefore prohibited in order to maintain a unique retail and dining experience. 'Formula businesses frustrate this goal by detracting from the overall historic island experience and threatening its tourist economy.' The ban - officially called the Formula Business Restriction - is a town bylaw designed to preserve Nantucket's historic downtown charm and shield local businesses from being drowned out by national and international retail chains Ritzy residents overwhelmingly supported the ban nearly a decade ago, worried that recognizable stores would erode the island's independent vibe and turn it into a cookie-cutter shopping destination. Building Commissioner Paul Murphy issued Roller Rabbit a cease-and-desist order in July, marking the first-ever enforcement of the ban. 'The overlay district does not allow standardized businesses in the historic downtown area,' Murphy wrote to the boutique's owners, as reported by Nantucket Current. 'Roller Rabbit meets the definition of a formula business. You are hereby ordered to immediately cease all business activity at this location.' The order stated that the shop met all the criteria to be considered a formula business - having ten or more locations worldwide and standardized elements like a common name, logo or product line. Determined to stay on the billionaire's oasis, Roller Rabbit quickly jumped through hoops to skirt to rules - changing its name and revamping the store's offerings. Now rebranded as The General Store by RR, the boutique has expanded its inventory to include brands like Lands' End, Dempsey & Carroll, Minnow and Long Wharf Supply Co. 'We've evolved our Centre Street seasonal pop-up into a new multi-brand concept,' Roller Rabbit Chief Marketing Officer Carolyn Phillips told the Current via email. 'This reimagined space features a curated selection of products not only from Roller Rabbit, but also from beloved brands that align with the spirit and lifestyle of Nantucket,' she added. Nantucket Planning and Land Use Services (PLUS) director Leslie Snell said the ban does not apply to pop-ups, which is what Roller Rabbit now claims to be. 'The formula business bylaw applies to any business within the overlay district regardless of duration,' she told the outlet. However, the PLUS team doesn't routinely screen every new business for chain store compliance, they only step in when a business asks for a review, leaving enforcement largely driven by self-reporting or complaints. 'No town permits are required for retail stores, so there isn't an opportunity for advance review,' Snell added. 'We review for compliance based on complaints or our own observations.' Roller Rabbit is known for its high-end women's sleepwear, often distinguished by whimsical prints - monkeys, florals and vibrant color palettes being just a few. Shoppers can expect Roller Rabbit pajamas priced from approximately $128 to $148 or more, according to the website. Each set is crafted in small batches from luxe Pima cotton and adorned with artisanal touches like block prints and embroidery. While critics balk at the steep prices, loyal fans point to the heirloom quality and distinctive designs as justification for the splurge - though it remains to be seen how many new customers will be secured on Nantucket.
