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. Should I buy ETFs or mutual funds when investing within a taxable brokerage account?
2. What should we do with the proceeds from selling our house?
3. As we achieve FIRE, how do we go about easily withdrawing our retirement funds early without getting hit with penalties?
4. Is it a good idea to put down 0% on a new home? And if it is, what should I do with extra money that I would have on hand?
5. Should I ditch my workplace 401k and move to a Roth IRA instead?
