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 continue investing in my Acorns account or pay off my student loans?
2 - Where should I invest money for a wedding?
3 - Does it make sense to deduct depreciation on real estate, even when the IRS recaptures that depreciation when I sell that property?
4 - How do I go about converting a non-deductible traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?
5 - As I have a little one on the way, can you share some of your money saving baby hacks?
During this episode we enjoyed a Hatch Me Outside by Crosstown Brewing - a big thanks to Ben for donating this delicious craft beer to the podcast!

How to KEEP Yourself Out of Debt #467
Do you remember the Seinfeld ‘car reservation’ episode? It’s one of the best. Jerry gets to the car rental counter and they don’t have a car for him. He says “See you know how to take a reservation, you just don’t know how to hold the reservation. And that’s really the most important part of the reservation, the holding!” That’s what we’re talking about today because you might know how to get out of debt, but do you know how to stay out of debt? You might find yourself digging out of debt every year when January rolls around. Holiday spending has a habit of sneaking up on most folks and you might be dealing with that financial hangover right now. Listen as we tackle concepts like lifestyle inflation, stoicism, accountability, and other practices that will allow us to kick debt to the curb for good.
