One of our most frequently asked questions revolves around the Roth IRA. Should I invest in it? How much should I invest? Why should I invest in a Roth vs. a traditional IRA? That’s just ONE of the many questions we answer on today’s show, including questions about investing, buying a house, spiking your interest rates on short term goals, and more.
In our headlines segment we’ll talk about how financial advisors market their services. Can you tell from an advisor’s method of pitching (and her pitch) whether they’ll be a good fit for you? Absolutely…and we’ll explain on today’s show, as we talk about seminars, workshops, Facebook ads, radio shows, and more. Plus, we’ll tackle a piece about remodeling your house. Which improvements improve your home’s value the most? We’ll share all of those on today’s podcast.
