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 is this fixed finance charge on a new credit card that I applied for?
- How can I prevent my income based student loan payments from increasing as I’m making more money?
- Are there hidden expenses when I invest in funds through Cash App or Robinhood?
- When it comes to teaching high schoolers about personal finance, what topics or curriculum should I focus on?
- Should we buy a vacation property, specifically a condotel, as an investment?
Additional links:
- We spent an entire episode talking about the crucial credit card benefits that you probably aren’t taking advantage of.
- If you like the ease of use that comes with investing via the Cash app or Robinhood, then we’d encourage you to consider investing via M1 Finance since you have the ability to open up, not only brokerage accounts, but retirement accounts as well.
- If you looking to teach students about personal finance, then be sure to check out Next Gen Personal Finance or even reaching out to our friend Dan LaSalle who we had on the show back in the day to talk about how he had implemented a program in Philadelphia.
- And it turns out it was App State who has that baseball field in the woods, not ECU.
- 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.
