Summary
In this edition of Ask Suze Anything, Suze answers questions from Women & Money listeners Sandra, Melinda, Millagros, Amy, Angeline, Shelly, and Sheri. Today’s questions are read by a very special guest, by the way!
They ask:
- After my divorce, should I find a fixer-upper home or spend all my money on a new house?
- Should I stay in my 401k or get a Roth IRA?
- Why does my employer want to take money back from my 401k when I worked there for only a couple of years?
- I am 38 and getting a divorce. Should I give up half of my house or half of my retirement account to my soon-to-be ex-husband?
- Where should I keep my Must Have documents and with whom?
- Should my 91-year-old grandmother cash in her Universal Life Insurance policy since it’s all paid up?
- My life insurance rates keep going up, the older I get. What can I do, to have affordable life insurance?

| 0:05.7 | Lyon Credit Union is currently offering 4.5% for a three-month certificate, 4.75% for a six-month |
