Double lives. Deceit. Guilt. This isn't just a script from a thriller; it's the subject of this week's podcast.

In the studio, journalist Abby Ellin shares her gripping narrative from her recent book, "Duped: Double Lives, False Identities, and the Con Man I Almost Married." She offers listeners strategies to enhance their awareness of skilled deceivers. Later, in our Mailbag segment, we explore how to approach financial responsibilities in a relationship without suggesting distrust. We also tackle your inquiries regarding long-term care options for singles and critical insurance policies they should consider, including insights on the 4% retirement rule.

In our Thrive segment, we continue the discussion on couples and finances: who should cover the bill on a date? We weigh in on this topic.
