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!

1. What kind of impact will settling my debt have on my credit score?
2. My employer matches retirement contributions but I really want to pay down my debt ASAP- what should I do?
3. Where should I invest funds for an upcoming wedding?
4. How should I go about investing money for my newborn daughter?
5. Do I have to actually use my credit card in order to boost my credit score?
