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!
- Who is on the hook for paying gift tax when money is given away to an individual?
- What should I do with my old 401k as I’m starting a program that doesn’t offer a 401k?

- 401k Rollover – Check out our Capitalize Review! This is a free service to assist with rolling over your old 401k to an IRA.
- HSA – Here’s the clearest language that we’ve seen from the IRS that plainly states that “… a distribution from an HSA in the current year can be used to pay or reimburse expenses incurred in any prior year as long as the expenses were incurred after the HSA was established. Thus, there is no time limit on when the distribution must occur.”
- Giving = living – Daffy is our favorite site to set up donor advised fund, for giving to charities!
- 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 cashback offer! Just toggle the sliders and you’ll know which card to consider.
- Best cell phone plans – Here’s a run down of the best MVNO networks for cheap cell phone plans. We personally both love US Mobile, which has the cheapest unlimited plans available these days.
