Farnoosh Torabi
About this episode

On this week's Ask Farnoosh, questions from the So Money mailbag include: Should we sell our house or rent it out? How much is too much owning company stock? And what is some specific financial advice for Generation X, those who are in their 40s and 50s?

So Money also celebrates its 6th year anniversary today!

Joining to co-host this week is Aditi Shekar, Founder & CEO, Zeta, a tool to help young couples master their money together. As her relationship with her boyfriend-turned-husband evolved over 15 years, she realized the need for tools designed specifically to help couples deal with and talk about their finances.
