Which money rules stopped working? The five your parents swore by: buy a house, keep cash in the bank, max out your 401(k), buy the S&P 500 and stay loyal to your company.

Every money rule your parents taught you still sounds smart. That's the problem. One of them costs the typical homeowner about $16,500 a year on top of the mortgage. Another ended with about 8,000 people at Meta getting a layoff email, some at 4 in the morning.
