About this episode

We’re kicking off the week by answering your questions! And if you have a question for us, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask/ , send us your voice memo!

1 - How legit are the crypto savings accounts that are paying high rates of interest?

2 - Is it true that I don’t have to file taxes if I make below a certain income threshold?

3 - I’ve been living in a submarine, but should I purchase a home with my housing allowance from the military?

4 - As a small business owner with no employees, should I consider a Solo 401(k) or a SEP IRA?

5 - I want to get into house hacking but first how do I boost my credit score, put together a lease, and screen tenants?
