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!
- Should I put all of the proceeds from my home sale towards the down payment on a new home?
- As a renter, should I pay extra in order for my rent payments to get reported to the credit bureaus?
- Does it make sense to get insurance for my e-bike?
- How can we make sure that our finances are in a strong position before having a baby?
- Is there a best time of year to invest a lump sum of money?
