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 can I get a conversation started with my girlfriend about personal finances?

2 - Should I pay off my mortgage or should I hang on to that in cash?

3 - Does it make sense to borrow from my 401(k) in order to pay off a credit card?

4 - Is it worth it to stick with a budget cell phone provider?

5 - How can I avoid underpayment penalties from the IRS and should I set up a retirement account through my business or set it up as a personal account?
