Let’s dive into the week with some fresh listener questions we have lined up for you! And don’t just stand on the sidelines- if you have a question you’d like us to answer, toss your voice memo our way. It only takes about 90 seconds to record and you can find a step by step guide over at HowToMoney.com/ask . Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!

1. Is it better to inherit a house eventually or buy it outright now in order to gain the tax benefits?
2. I don’t want my credit score to get dinged so how hard should I work to keep my 20 credit cards active?
3. Should $200k-$300k be enough for my husband and I to retire on?
4. What’s the best car I can get for under $10,000?
