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 - Should I put an engagement ring on credit, even if there is going to be a credit card transaction fee?

2 - Is buying a home FSBO a good idea to save money?

3 - How can I get ahead and feel financially comfortable on a small salary?

4 - We’re getting married soon: where should we put our wedding money, what about I bonds, should we combine investment accounts, and is it time for life insurance?

5 - Are eco-friendly and vegan banks worth it?
