Summary
In this edition of Ask Suze Anything, Suze answers questions from Women & Money listeners Keith, Denise, Janae, Jennifer, Jean, Lagrimes, and Maria.
They ask:
- I just realized, as an essential worker, I make less than someone who is unemployed. Why is money not fair?
- Should I get a personal loan to pay off my credit cards?
- My car dealer suggests that I should buy a new car now because sales are up. Should I?
- Is now a good time to switch from a Target date fund to an ETF with another company?
- My husband and I retired last year. Is it wise to pull from our 401k to save on possible higher taxes down the road?
- I’m about to retire and need advice on making my money last longer.
- My brother is debating taking his pension as a lump sum or in the monthly payments. What should he do?
