Summary
On today's show we dive headfirst into the mailbag, and answer your excellent questions on every facet of investing, saving, and protecting your money:
- Do I need a trust?
- What should I do with these savings bonds?
- Should I take my money out of a 529 college savings plan?
- Can I stop saving money well before I retire?
...and LOTS more. We're excited to not only bring you those questions, plus our TikTok minute (wait until you hear THIS bride...), AND Doug's incredible trivia question. Plus, we may rail on too long about fake IDs (just to help parents know how to spot them, of course).
