These personality types include, the saver, the spender, the moneymaker, those that are indifferent, the saver-splurger hybrid, the gambler, the worrier, and the hoarder. They discuss the traits of each personality type and why it’s important for you to know and understand your personality type, so that you can strive to achieve a balanced relationship with money. Today’s Money in the News covers Disney falling short in its number of streaming subscribers, corporate tax hikes, and the uncovering of a hidden treasure of half a million dollars in an attic in Massachusetts.Is it too late to fix my retirement at 50?No — the 50s are the catch-up years by design. Catch-up provisions let you contribute above the standard limits to 401(k)s and IRAs, the HSA offers triple tax advantages for future healthcare costs, and a backdoor Roth can build a tax-free bucket even if your income is too high for direct contributions. Pair those with a segmented "bucket" strategy — instead of retreating to CDs and cash — and most late starts can still be rescued. The first step is knowing your income need, not chasing a number.
