Think of a money mistake you made early in your adult life. It might have been getting into trouble with credit cards or not saving into — or even knowing about! — your company’s 401k plan, or maybe you didn’t know how to budget. If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself to avoid those sticky situations? Our guest today is passionate about helping the next generation become better with their money. From learning about taxes and investing to setting a budget, Bobbi Rebell has been through it all with her kids. She shares the money lessons she taught her kids to avoid making the same mistakes she once made. She shares how you can help others, too. Even if you don’t have kids, these tips can apply to anyone.
During our headline segment, we dive into Roth IRAs. The stock market decline to start this year has had many people wondering if they should take advantage of a Roth conversion. We discuss the tactics of this strategy and give you things to think about if you are considering it. We’ll also answer Mattie’s question about sinking funds, and to top it all off, Doug will share his trivia.
Enjoy!
