Summary
In this rapid-fire edition of Ask Suze Anything, we hear questions from Women & Money listeners Jamie, Norma, Danielle, Michelle, Cindy, Phil, Nicholas, Jacqueline, Mohammad, Lauren, and Valerie. They ask:
- What is the best premium savings account I should open?
- Should I refinance my house or take a loan to pay off a store credit card with high interest?
- Should I aggressively pay off my mortgage or invest?
- Is it bad to close a store credit card that I owe nothing on and don’t use?
- Should I pay off my mortgage using my traditional IRA?
- Should I use my TSP to pay a loan?
- What is your opinion on investing in REITs?
- I keep paying interest on my home equity loan, but I’m not seeing any movement. What else can I do?
- Should I take a $100k loan to pay for an internship program and live off of, while in the program?
- Should I refinance to get a lower interest rate on my student loan, or wait because I may get full forgiveness down the road?
- My company has eliminated 401(k) match. Is it better to contribute to a Roth or stay in the traditional 410(k) in the event my company reinstates the match?

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. I want you all to take advantage of the incredible interest rates that a |
| 0:05.7 | Lyon Credit Union is currently offering 4.5% for a three-month certificate, 4.75% for a six-month |
| 0:15.2 | certificate. But best of all, in my opinion, is 5% for a one-year certificate of deposit. |
| 0:24.4 | You can also purchase these in a retirement account. So go to my alliance, |
| 0:30.7 | ALLIANT.com slash ultimate and check it out now. |
| 1:01.6 | It's Ask Susie Anything Podcast Day. This is where you write in. You send in a question to |
| 1:16.8 | Ask Susie Podcast. That's suce podcast at gmail.com. If chosen, I'll answer it on this podcast. |
| 1:25.8 | You never know when I'll actually send you a response personally. Then you never know what |
| 1:32.6 | I'll do with it. However, I do read every single one of them. So let's do another wrapped fire. You |
| 1:40.7 | seem to like that. Sometimes you tell me, Susie, you go on so long. So long, can't you just answer |
| 1:46.8 | questions and get on to the next one? What if what you're saying doesn't apply to me? I know. |
| 1:52.5 | Every single question applies to you if you were to just think about it. Might not apply to you |
| 1:58.6 | right now, but it could apply to you in a year from now or 10 years from now or whenever it may be. |
| 2:05.0 | Let's start with Jamie. She says, Hi Susie, I'm 31 and I have followed you for a long time. My mom |
| 2:12.3 | always had your show on when I was in high school. And now I listen to your podcast. Just before I |
| 2:18.4 | go on reading anymore, do you have any idea how much I love the kids that I'm meeting today that are |
| 2:26.3 | in their 30s, in their 40s? And I know Susie, Norman, you can't call me a kid. I'm an adult. I'm 30 or |
| 2:33.4 | 40. When you're 68, I can call you a kid. But I love that you would sit with your mom and or dad |
| 2:41.5 | or your parents, whatever it was and watch the show. Because so many of you now really are so |
| 2:50.4 | financially great because of that. And it makes me so happy. Jamie goes on to say, thanks to you, |
| 2:57.3 | I snowballed my $63,000 of student loans in seven years for those of you who don't know what Jamie |
| 3:04.5 | is talking about. Very simply, she paid off her student loans of $63,000 in seven years. Love |
