iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

We’re kicking off the week by answering listener questions! And if you have a question that you’d like for us to answer on the show, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask , send us your voice memo. Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!


1 - Should I continue investing in my Acorns account or pay off my student loans?

2 - Where should I invest money for a wedding?

3 - Does it make sense to deduct depreciation on real estate, even when the IRS recaptures that depreciation when I sell that property?

4 - How do I go about converting a non-deductible traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?

5 - As I have a little one on the way, can you share some of your money saving baby hacks?
