We’re kicking off the week by answering listener questions! And if you have a question that you’d like for us to answer on the show, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask , send us your voice memo. Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!
- What should be my top financial priority when I know my job is only guaranteed for a year?
- Should I make a larger down payment in order to keep my mortgage below 25% of my monthly budgeted expenses?
- Am I being frugal or cheap if I’m willing to skip my friend’s bachelorette party?
- I’m thinking about converting my primary residence into my first rental property to rent to a friend- what should I keep in mind?
- How do I get my HOA to start investing the building’s reserve funds?

- While we talked about planning for an uncertain financial future due to employment coming to an end, we discussed how important it is to have a bare bones budget that will help you to see how much you’ll be able to cut back.
- We referenced our 7 Money Gears during this episode. It’s important to know what your next financial moves should be before you take action!
- Avail.co and Zillow both have some free software to help you to manage a rental property. And remember that screening for good tenants is at least 90% of the battle.
- Credit Card Tool – Looking for the right credit card for you? Then check out our new credit card tool that’ll help you to easily filter through all the cards based on your preferred airline, whether or not they have an annual fee, or simply by the cash back offer! Just toggle the sliders and you’ll know which card to consider.
