Summary
In this episode of Ask Suze Anything, Suze answers questions from Women & Money (and the men smart enough to pay attention) listeners Nicholas, Shaylee, Amanda, and more. They ask:
- Is it better to pay off my student loan debt and not fund my Roth IRA, or do both?
- If my spouse borrowed against his 401(k) and does not re-pay the loan, will I be on the hook?
- Should I pay off my mortgage even though this might not be my “forever home?"
- How do I help a parent who is bad at money management and taking advantage of family and friends?

| 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 myeliantaliant.com, |

| 0:41.0 | Suzy Orman here and you are listening to the Women in Money Podcast. Now, this is not your |
| 0:46.3 | ordinary money podcast, but there is nothing that I do that is ordinary. So if you want to be the |
| 0:52.0 | powerful woman that you were born to be in every aspect of your life, then you have come to the |
| 0:59.1 | right place. |

| 1:57.6 | from a second degree she earned. We have also been contributing 12% split between Roth 401k and |
| 2:05.5 | traditional 401k. Not accounting for market timing since we are knocking on all time highs, |
| 2:13.2 | shouldn't we continue to contribute to retirement where we can expect 8% return versus paying off |
| 2:20.4 | loans at 4%. What are your thoughts on this and paying off debt versus saving for retirement? |
| 2:29.6 | Nicholas, what's so hard especially when you do a podcast or a TV or radio show or whatever it may be |
| 2:36.7 | is to give advice that's good for absolutely every single person out there because every one of you |
| 2:45.2 | is absolutely special. So first of all, you're only paying 4% on your debt. It would be very, very |
