Ask Shannah – How Much Should I Have Inv...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

The Ask Shannah questions are piling up so today I'm tackling two questions that I feel will resonate with you. 


On This Podcast Episode:

Question #1 - How Much Should I Have Invested (and saved) At Certain Ages - while there are some common goals that are often suggested by personal finance experts, there isn't a hard-fast number for how much you should have invested and saved. Even if you haven't started yet, now is as good of a time as any. However, in the episode, I'm going to offer some common suggestions you can use to figure out if you're on track.

Question #2 - Should I Make Weekly Credit Card Payments - well, the most important factor is that you're making your credit card payment on-time, however, these micropayments have become popular with people trying to better their credit score and pay off debt faster. See what I have to say about making weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly credit card payments.
