This week on the podcast we’re answering your questions!

1 - Should I continue to balance my checkbook every month, or is it a waste of time?

2 - I have 2 daughters who rarely drive- how can I reduce how much I spend on their car insurance?

3 - Should I purchase a primary residence or a couple investment properties instead?

4 - Is identity theft insurance worth the money?

5 - As a small business owner, should I consider offering a SIMPLE IRA or a 401k?
