Ask HTM - Employer Matched Vacation Savings, Free Credit Card Cell Phone Insurance, & Assumable Mortgages #706

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 - My mom bought me a single DRIP stock when I was a kid- should I sell or hang onto it?

2 - Can I fund a brokerage account for my niece that pays dividends, in order for her to set up a Roth IRA?

3 - Should I take advantage of a vacation savings match that’s offered by my employer?

4 - Cell phone insurance that comes with credit cards: does it apply if you pay your bill annually as opposed to monthly?

5 - Is an assumable mortgage a legit way to find an affordable home?
