com. very easy. Okay. This is from Zach.

Love your show. Thank you for offering the valuable advice.

I'm 31 years old, married. My spouse is 40, no kids.

Our only debts are a home loan at $333,000, 3.6%. We also have $4,000 in credit card debt, but it's at 0%. I'm seriously determined to pay off, and I have been.

We've recently received Word 3% 401k matches at my company will cease effective soon.

I make around $88,000 a year. My spouse makes around $60,000 dollars a year. My spouse makes around 60,000. To date we have about

220,000 in retirement funds. Traditional IRA, Roth IRA 401k, taxable account, it's all with Vanguard.

Spouse works for municipality and has defined pension.

He also is landlord, mmm, with paid off property. His tenant is blessing us by continuing to pay rent. Is it prudent in a time like this to continue to make 401k contributions to decrease my taxable income. I do feel blessed to have a job. I work in

IT at a mid-sized firm. There's been consideration of company furloughs, but not necessarily at this moment. I'm lucky to to live in a relatively low-cost area.

Thanks for everything. Love listening to the podcast. Okay, Zach.
