This week on Marketplace Money, just in time for commentator Lori Gottlieb wonders whether she made the same mistakes as the big banks that led her into a "romantic recession."

The New York Times' Ron Lieber wrote an article that made Tess finally understand annuities. He'll give us an on-air breakdown about when this confusing financial product is a good idea. Tess and veteran finance writer Kathy Kristof answer listener questions, including whether a couple should keep living in two cities, and whether road race entry fees are a tax write-off.
