Recently, I received a letter in the mail stating that my local hospital system’s online portal had a data breach. In other words, cybercriminals had hacked into it and accessed certain information stored in the system. The letter told me not to worry: The hackers didn’t get credit card info, dates of birth or Social Security numbers. The only thing they might have gotten is my email address. Despite the letter’s attempt to reduce my fear, I began to wonder: What can someone do with my email address without my password? A lot, it turns out. Many people use a single email address in all areas of their lives, including for financial transactions, health and medical communications, social media, political causes, online shopping and more. So once hackers know your email address, they can use it for a wide range of nefarious purposes, like phishing for even more sensitive information, impersonating you, stealing your identity and ultimately causing serious damage to your personal and fin

People tend to grumble about paying into Social Security, a federal program that provides retirement income for almost every U.S. worker. Americans pay into the program through taxes taken out of paychecks, and they know they’ll get some of that back … down the road. But did you know that you don’t have to reach retirement age to access the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) many benefits? “Social Security is one of those things that is an inch deep and a mile widethere’s so much to it,” says Eric Mangold, founder of Argosy Wealth Management, an independent financial planning firm.

Since I tend to take fairly long tripsmany lasting two weeks or more and often with varying climatesI often have no choice but to pack a checked bag. But then that leaves me with lugging a heavy duffle or backpack through airports, which isn’t ideal even when it’s from one of the best luggage brands .
