Ask HTM - Best Personal Business Bank Combo, Pay Off Student Loans or Invest, & Big Wireless Getting More Affordable #598

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 completely pay off my student loans or instead use my year-end bonus to invest in the stock market?

2 - Is it possible to get my personal, business, and kids accounts all with the same bank?

3 - What are the real differences between Verizon and Visible and should I switch to save?

4 - How can I protect my money when I pass the $250,000 FDIC limit?

5 - With the US dollar strong, it means my AU dollars I’m earning in Australia are taking a serious hit here in the US- how do I hedge my currency risk?
