Michelle Singletary's money milestones for every age Michelle Singletary's money milestone for every age project launched at the end of January. It has been updated with additional content for those 90 and older. Young or old, personal finance is complicated. The knowledge and discipline needed to run your financial life can be overwhelming. How do you know if you're on track? How prepared are you to weather an unexpected job loss or costly repair? Can you spot a scam? It's hard to know whom to trust when so many people are after your money. As The Washington Post's longtime personal finance columnist, I've received hundreds of your questions, and I've compiled the most frequent ones in this guide. There's advice for every decade of your financial life, from 20-somethings just starting out to retirees enjoying the fruits of their smart planning to advice that applies at any decade. Each stage involves making decisions that can affect your short- and long-term goals. Identifying your money milestones can help you spend less, save more and build wealth at any age. [Post Reports: How to be smart with your money at every age] Happy 90s and beyond from Michelle! You've beaten the longevity odds if you are in your 90s or beyond. Are you still worried about your financial stability? Or perhaps you're a caregiver, and you're concerned about the finances of a 90-something parent or a centenarian you are assisting. Though there is less time ahead of you than behind, live with no regrets, and make the hard decisions while you can. Click the link below to read some frequently asked questions for the 90s decade. Because some financial deliberations are ongoing, certain topics appear in multiple decades.
