We’re kicking off the week by answering your questions! And if you have a question for us, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask/ , send us your voice memo!

  1. How can I get a conversation started with my girlfriend about personal finances?
  2. Should I pay off my mortgage or should I hang on to that in cash?
  3. Does it make sense to borrow from my 401(k) in order to pay off a credit card?
  4. Is it worth it to stick with a budget cell phone provider?
  5. How can I avoid underpayment penalties from the IRS and should I set up a retirement account through my business or set it up as a personal account?

Here’s a saying that we’ve all heard- don’t put all your eggs in one basket. That makes a lot of sense but does it apply to investing? Is one fund enough if you’re invested in a diversified index fund? Or maybe you’re thinking- forget index funds, what about bonds? Shouldn’t I be invested in those as well? These are all questions that we’re going to address during this episode where we discuss asset allocation and how it is that we personally invest. Everyone wants to make wise investing decisions, but in an attempt to diversify we can easily become overwhelmed with the pure quantity of different investing options that are available. For example crypto, REITs, and NFTs just to name a few. Spending some time thinking about asset allocation is smart but simplicity has its advantages. Listen in as we do a deep dive on asset allocation today to put your mind at ease and help you think through what a solid diversification strategy looks like. 56 5
