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. What should I do with the proceeds from selling my house?
  2. Is it better to max out my HSA now or allow it to continue to be regularly deducted from my paycheck?
  3. Should I go with a regular or Roth 401k and does it make sense for me to stick around until I’m 100% vested?
  4. Why did my credit score drop after paying down a bunch of credit card debt?
  5. What advice should I give my parents who are looking to retire within the next decade?

Additional links from this episode:

  • We answered Corey’s question on how to fund his HSA – for an entire episode dedicated to why we feel the HSA is the ultimate retirement account, listen back to episode 105.
  • Check out episode 114 where we went into great detail with Cameron Huddleston about talking with parents about money.
  • And finally we’re asking you: is it frugal or cheap to sell a gift on eBay? Leave your comment below!

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
