#67: It's the first Monday of the month, which means it's time
to answer questions from the Afford Anything community.
Our first question comes from a caller in a tough spot: Her
mother-in-law is 66 years old. She's divorced, holds no retirement
savings, and will only receive a tiny Social Security check. Her
health is worsening, and she'll need to step away from work
shortly. The caller wants to help her mother-in-law ... but
how?
Our second question comes from Erin, a listener who's moving to
California and needs to buy a car. She's new to the world of
car-buying, and wants to know how she can get a great deal. What
red flags should she watch out for?
Our third question comes from Hong, a 32-year-old mother of two
who's interested in early retirement. She's thinking about
saving money in a 401k until she maximizes her employer match, then
switching to a Traditional IRA, and then switching back to saving
in her 401k. Should she pursue this strategy? How can she maximize
her tax advantages?
Our fourth question comes from John, who wants to know what I've
learned from building an online course. He's contemplating creating
one of his own.
Finally, I answer a question from Adalia, who wants to know if my
online business and real estate business are structured as part of
the same company, or operated as two separate entities. She asks if
I can talk about how I made my business structuring decisions.
