Often, divorcing couples pull money out of retirement accounts because they simply don’t have other available liquid funds to handle the substantial expenses of a divorce — or because one or both parties become very litigious, says Dori Goikhman, an attorney-mediator and founder of Off the Record Mediation Services based in Silicon Valley. If you’re preparing for a divorce and making contributions to a retirement account, you need to file as soon as possible, because any post-filing contributions made to the account are not divisible with your soon-to-be former spouse, says Rajeh Saadeh, a high stakes divorce and family attorney in New York and New Jersey. If this is not correctly completed and accepted before the divorce is final, then the money moves with a tax consequence, says Beth Logan, author of “Divorce and Taxes after Tax Reform.

Further compounding the hazards, the people who are the lucky side of this teeter totter (for example, people currently holding all their wealth in Tesla stock or the cryptocurrency or NFT of the day) will tend to attribute their success to skill, which leads them to become ever more confident and double down without realizing the preposterous risks involved. Even as a big fan of Tesla’s engineering accomplisments, I scratch my head at all the ongoing “analysis” of its stock price, which seems like just a random number generator.

When I’m not cramming spoonfuls in my mouth, I have discovered a surprising number of ways to use smooth peanut butter around the house that (mostly) don’t involve eating it. Though there are some clever culinary ways to use peanut butter than don’t involved spreading it on bread or crackers.
