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. Does it make sense to buy an RV in order to avoid high real estate costs?
2. How wealthy will my girlfriend get after earning her master’s degree in counseling?
3. Given the recent volatility of the stock market, should we tweak the allocation of a 529 account we just set up?
4. I’m interested in using real estate to semi-retire in 7 to 10 years- but where should I save or invest my down payment?
5. Should I pay off my student loans or invest my extra savings?

Additional links:

• Passive income – We love that Jessica is interested in real estate being a part of her semi-retiring. And it’s also true that it’s not truly a passive form of income.
• Investing – Listen back to the perils of investing in single stocks for a refresher.
  • Also, listen back to how we invest our money with brokerage houses like Fidelity, M1 Finance, and Vanguard.
