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 - What are the pros and cons of putting all of my expenses on a credit card?

2 - How much lower should an interest rate be in order to make a home refinance worth it?

3 - How do I go about breaking ties with my dad’s financial advisor?

4 - Should I save or invest a gift of $5,000?

5 - If family members loan me money for a down payment, how would that impact my ability to get a mortgage?


During this episode we both enjoyed a Fruit/Wood/Time: Black Raspberry which is a Sour by Westbrook Brewing.
