Ask HTM - Applying for a Credit Card with Frozen Credit, Paying Down Student Loans vs Investing, and Purchasing a Used Car without a Local Bank #208

How to Money

We’re kicking off the week by answering your questions! And if you have a question for us, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask/

1 - How big should my emergency fund be and should I count my Roth contributions towards that cash cushion?

2 - Should I open up a high interest custodial savings account or a 529 Plan for my baby with some gift money?

3 - Is it OK to snag a store discount by signing up for a store credit card, even though my credit is frozen?

4 - As a recent graduate, should I pay down my student loans or begin investing instead?

5 - How do I go about buying a used car without a brick and mortar bank?
