The years' best

To end the year, I will review the articles that you, Money and Stuff’s readers, have enjoyed the most this year. I have to mention, because I find it interesting, that the most read articles in English are not the same as the most read articles in Spanish. If you want to check out what our Spanish readers liked most, click above where it says Lee este artículo en español.

There are two honorable mentions, series of articles that have had a large following among readers. The first one is an ongoing series that I update twice a year titled What They’re Up To; in it, I explain the latest trends in cybercrime, fraud and identity theft. Here’s the latest edition, from November.

A unique series of articles that I have come to call “The New Economies” have also been very popular this year. These articles explain three types of economy whose names we see in the news very often: The Gig Economy, The Circular Economy, and The Sharing Economy. If you want to learn a little bit about the way our world runs today, and what the United Nation’s hope for the global future are, check

them out.They created much interested among readers, so we also published them on Medium.

Now to the most read articles this year….

In third place: Family Matters
This article was the first of a series of two articles on all the different aspects of helping care for one’s aging parents. This first one covered the non-financial considerations: deciding who takes charge, how to help with medical needs, plus two touchy -but important- subjects: living wills and advance directives.

In second place: What you need to know after the Equifax Data Breach

The theft of the credit reports belonging to millions of people was a shock to everyone. This blog article provided specific information on what consumers’ options are for protecting themselves in the aftermath of this crime.

And the winner is…: A Bon Voyage Message
I’m very happy that this article, the subject of which was our colleague Raquel Rovira’s retirement from OAS FCU, was the most read this year. As I mention in it, Raquel is a very dear person to me and I wanted everyone know that she was leaving, because I knew she’d

be missed. She received loads of messages from people who thanked her for having helped them over the years, in ways that went far, far above and beyond what a regular loan officer at another financial institution would do. Raquel helped people, and the people clearly knew.

It is my pleasure to continue writing articles that will help you and your loved ones be informed about money, economy, and personal finance. If you would like to suggest a theme, remember that you can write to me to do so at any time, at the address tinskip@oasfcu.org.

Happy new year!
