I'm 67, my husband is 69, and we've been married 38 years. We've lived in the same four-bedroom colonial for 32 of those years. It's paid off and worth $1.5 million. We have another $1.8 million in retirement accounts and savings, plus Social Security and a small pension from his old job. No debt, and our kids are on their own.
So this isn't a money problem, but we can't talk about retirement anymore without it turning into a fight. He wants to buy something for $600,000 now that we are empty-nesters, and invest the rest. He has a spreadsheet. I've seen it open on the laptop at the kitchen table at 11 p.m., with property taxes, insurance and the lawn guy all in little columns.
My spouse was awarded $90,000 from my 401(k) in our divorce. How is that fair?
'She's living the dream': My stepmother said I can buy my childhood home for $850,000. Is she taking advantage of me?
Musk says ***** eX landed a $40 billion debt deal — and forecasts doom for some AI rivals

Elon Musk's net worth once again topped the $1 trillion mark this week—and few people have had a closer look at the forces behind his success than his former deputy Linda Yaccarino.
The 30-year media veteran was tapped as CEO of then-Twitter in 2023, stepping in as Musk was remaking the social platform from the ground up, and she got a firsthand look at the philosophy driving his companies, from Tesla to **** eX: Move fast, rethink everything, and don't wait for tomorrow.
"The reason his companies are singular in what they deliver is because of the insatiable sense of urgency. There's not a deadline for a project or to ship something, a product—it's now," Yaccarino told Fortune.
That mindset, she said, changes how you approach virtually any challenge. Rather than simply working toward a deadline, it forces you to strip a project down to its most essential pieces and figure out what actually needs to happen to succeed.
"A lot of people talk about first principles, but that's what it forces you to do," Yaccarino added.

Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) is reportedly planning to raise $40 billion in bank loans and investment-grade debt, led by Apollo Global Management (NYSE:APO) , to buy Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA) chips.

Apollo is expected to lead the deal and help place the debt with a broad range of investors, with Pimco among a small group of lenders in talks to provide financing, the newspaper reported citing people familiar with the matter.
The transaction is expected to close in 2027.
SpaceX, Apollo, and Nvidia did not immediately respond to Benzinga's request for comment, while Pimco declined to comment.

One-time trillionaire Elon Musk is known for his bombastic behavior and predictions. At one point in early 2012, he proclaimed that Tesla would be entirely self-funded.
"Tesla does not need to ever raise another funding round," Musk said in February 2012 in response to a question on the company's financial position and the speed at which it was burning through cash. He relayed robust confidence in managing Tesla's self-funded future at the time.

Chrishell Stause was left unimpressed with her ex-boyfriend Jason Oppenheim's enthusiastic praise of Elon Musk's Tesla technology.
The "Selling Sunset" star mocked Oppenheim for praising Tesla and announcing plans to get vehicles with Full Self-Driving technology for his employees.
OK! Magazine reported that Oppenheim recently shared a video of himself using Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) technology during a commute from Newport Beach to The Oppenheim Group's Los Angeles office. Oppenheim praised the technology, saying that the 1-hour, 15-minute commute would be a breeze. He claimed that the car would drive itself and stop at his office parking lot without him needing to touch the steering wheel.
"This is the most important video that I've ever posted," Oppenheim began. He praised the technology as "so safe" and explained why he had decided to part ways with his Bentley.
"I have no need for it. I'm not going to drive it," he said. "I'm going to be getting self-driven around from here on out," he added.

Shivon Zilis, Elon Musk's longtime partner and the mother of four of his children, has announced their split in a lengthy post on X.
Zilis, who previously worked at Musk's car company Tesla and is now at his technology firm Neuralink, is mother to four of the billionaire's 14 known children. The pair's romance dates back to 2016, though the details of their relationship have been kept quiet.
"It's hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that's just how it is sometimes," Zilis began.
"I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect.
"We were always his safe **** e," she continued. "A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war, in contrast to his otherwise militant existence (a needed break from the battlefield where he could recharge his heart and soul before heading back out).

In December 2025, about a month before the U.S. invaded Venezuela and captured its president, Nicolás Maduro, President Trump had a secret meeting with Elon Musk, Time magazine reports. This was roughly seven months after Musk left his role in the Trump administration at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
During this meeting, Trump "spent hours" talking to Musk's Grok chatbot, including asking how Venezuelans would respond to the capture of their president, a source told Time. Just a few months earlier, in September, Trump began ordering U.S. military strikes against Venezuelan boats that Trump alleged were involved in drug trafficking.
People had apparently been turning to Grok asking about the boat strikes and political climate in Venezuela, as The Atlantic reported at the time. So Grok told Trump that Maduro was a "deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall," Time reported.
When such celebrations indeed happened after the U.S. invaded on January 3, Trump apparently "came away thinking Grok was ingenious," that source told Time.
So perhaps it should come as no surprise that in June of this year, the Pentagon's head of AI said that the military used Grok Gov to deploy and strike targets during the Iran War.

Zilis, who previously worked at Musk's car company Tesla and is now at his technology firm Neuralink, is mother to four of the billionaire's 14 known children. The pair's romance dates back to 2016, though the details of their relationship have been kept quiet.
"It's hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that's just how it is sometimes," Zilis began.
"I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect.

Elon Musk and his on-and-off girlfriend have broken up.
In a post shared on X on Friday, October 2, Shivon Zilis, who shares four children with the Tesla cofounder, 55, revealed that Musk had let her "go" with "no warning" just a week after seemingly being "in love."
"I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness. Given the tumultuous nature of his early life, his often tortured soul, and how hard he fights for humanity, I wanted him to feel the deepest and most stable form of love this world can provide. My heart is full knowing I got to do that, and I hope it leaves a lasting good effect," Zilis, 40, wrote.
Calling her and their four children together, twins Strider and Azure, 4, Arcadia, 2, and Seldon, 1, his "safe ******* e," Zilis said their home life served as a place for the tech giant to unwind after tough days in the field.
"We were always his safe ******* e. A place where all of us were overjoyed to see him and one that was always full of happiness and love, not war, in contrast to his otherwise militant existence (a needed break from the battlefield where he could recharge his heart and soul before heading back out)," the director of operations and special projects at Neuralink continued. "I loved being that counterbalancing place of safety, sense of calm, and love — and delighted in bringing a smile back to his face when he was down."

Shivon Zilis posted a statement on X on Friday saying Elon Musk ended their relationship without warning after the two had been together and built a family of four children.
"It's hard to go from in love to let go in a week with no warning, but that's just how it is sometimes," Zilis wrote.
The post offered a rare public look at one of Musk's most private relationships. Zilis is an artificial intelligence executive who has worked with several of Musk's ventures, including Neuralink, according to Newsweek. The pair share fraternal twins Strider and Azure, born in 2021, a daughter named Arcadia, born in 2024, and a son named Seldon, whose birth was announced in early 2025, according to People.
In her statement, Zilis described her household as a refuge for Musk from what she called his "otherwise militant existence," writing that it was "always full of happiness and love, not war." She said her aim had been to offer him stability.
"I feel happy that I got to show Elon how it feels to be deeply understood, nurtured, and peacefully loved with stability and gentleness," she wrote.

Nvidia (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang is challenging the people warning that AI could end humanity, suggesting their alarming predictions may serve another purpose.
Speaking with CBS News, Huang rejected the 'AI apocalypse' debate and questioned the motives behind those spreading that fear, adding a sharper edge to an increasingly public industry split.
OpenAI and Anthropic leaders, alongside Elon Musk, have backed calls to slow advanced AI development over safety concerns and fears that the technology might be advancing quicker than companies can control it, as reported by Financial Times.
For Nvidia investors, that debate carries financial weight. Shares have returned 20% year-to-date and 23% over the six months, according to Seeking Alpha data.
A coordinated slowdown could complicate the spending boom supporting its chip business. Huang's response, however, reaches beyond defending continued investment.

Elon Musk has never shied away from ambitious timelines, and his most recent one connects two companies directly together. In a post on X dated September 13, Musk stated that he is "highly confident" that **** e Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) will transport NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) Vera Rubin NVL72 AI computers into orbit next year, repeating a plan that has already moved both companies' stock this year.
The comment strengthens **** eX's Starmind concept, which aims to establish AI data centers in orbit rather than on the ground. The first satellite, named Starmind AI1, will carry a **** e-optimized version of NVIDIA's Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale system. The standard terrestrial NVL72 combines 72 Rubin GPUs and 36 Vera CPUs, although **** eX and NVIDIA have not disclosed the final configuration of the orbital version. **** e Exploration Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SPCX) plans to launch the satellite in the fourth quarter of 2027 and reach substantial scale by 2028. Musk's plan isn't new; during **** eX's first earnings conference as a public company in August, he stated that the company would build exclusively on NVIDIA hardware in the future, calling the Vera Rubin architecture the best available AI computer design.
Musk's central point is that **** e is, in the long run, the most cost-effective area to develop AI computing. He cites solar power availability in orbit as a crucial advantage, and estimates that within two to three years, **** e might become the lowest-cost place for AI computing in general, describing the orbital architecture as simpler, less expensive, denser, and lighter than a standard data-center rack. Not everyone believes the physics and economics will align on Musk's timeframe. Microsoft President Brad Smith has publicly questioned the broader concept, telling reporters that he would be surprised if companies actually transferred computation from land to low-Earth orbit.
For NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), the read-through is simple: **** e-based computing would represent a new, if early-stage and speculative, source of demand for its Vera Rubin platform, on top of the company's strong position in terrestrial AI infrastructure. According to some **** yst models, **** eX accounts for approximately 5% of NVIDIA's revenue.
SpaceX's reasoning is more convoluted. The plan is entirely dependent on the success of Starship, **** eX's next-generation rocket system, which still needs to demonstrate its capacity to handle launch frequency and reliability on the scale Musk describes. When Musk said during **** eX's August earnings call that the company would build its future AI infrastructure exclusively on NVIDIA, NVDA shares rose more than 4%, while **** eX's shares fell more than 10% before paring losses, reflecting investor concerns about execution risk and capital intensity, despite the fact that the NVIDIA relationship was well received.

Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC) is targeting a potentially significant opportunity through its strategic Terafab partnership with companies **** ociated with Elon Musk, including **** eX, Tesla, and xAI. The initiative is part of an ambitious semiconductor manufacturing project focused on producing advanced chips for artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, autonomous vehicles, and other compute-intensive applications.
On September 15, Tigress Financial highlighted the strategic importance of the alliance to Intel's turnaround prospects. The research firm reiterated its Buy rating on Intel and raised its price target to $145 from $118, citing the company's long-term growth opportunity.
The Terafab partnership could provide Intel's foundry business with exposure to customers that have substantial AI and high-performance computing requirements. Securing external customers could help Intel increase manufacturing scale while improving the utilization and economics of its foundry operations.
The partnership could also support Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:INTC)'s efforts to improve its semiconductor manufacturing technology. Greater production volumes and engagement with demanding customers could provide opportunities to improve manufacturing economics, yields, and scalability as Intel works to strengthen its competitive position in advanced chip manufacturing.
Beyond manufacturing scale, Terafab could expand Intel's role in the broader AI semiconductor supply chain. The company has historically been heavily **** ociated with CPUs, but growing its foundry business could give it greater exposure to AI accelerators, custom silicon, and other specialized compute applications. A relationship with major AI-focused customers could also help provide greater visibility into future manufacturing demand.

Generally, I'm a big fan of using AI in medicine, and a fan of the companies that do so. In fact, I own two stocks — Schrodinger (SDGR) and Radnet (RDNT) — that specialize in this area; Schrodinger uses AI to help speed up the drug-discovery process, while many of Radnet's diagnostic medical devices utilize AI.

Array Technologies (ARRY) shares moved meaningfully lower on Sept. 18 after a senior UBS **** yst, Jon Windham, downgraded the solar tracking manufacturer to "Neutral." Windham also slashed his price target in half to $5, cautioning investors against expecting a swift recovery in ARRY in the near term.
His bearish call is meaningful, given that Array Technologies stock has already been a disappointment for investors in 2026, currently down more than 65% versus its year-to-date high.
