Summary

If you’re finding it harder these days to discern exactly what to believe when you watch or read the news, you’re not alone. It’s gotten so bad that The Associated Press has an entire section of their website dedicated to “Not Real News” where they fact-check the news of the week. So, how can we make sure our sources are reputable, and the information we’re getting is reliable? Dan Ariely, the James B. Duke Professor of psychology and behavioral economics at Duke University has all the advice we need to combat misinformation. His new book “MISBELIEF: What Makes Rational People Believe Irrational Things,” delves into the growing phenomena of discarded truths, alternative facts, and full-blown conspiracy theories that have driven a wedge in public discourse and our personal relationships. In Mailbag, we take questions on IRAs and 529s. In our money tip of the week, what you should do when a DM hits your inbox promising “a sure way to beat the market.” Join the HerMoney community!
