    Ep. 85 - Listener Questions, Answered!

    This week, let's discuss four sets of listener questions on a range of topics: 1. Setting kids up for financial success (including credit card authorized users, allowances, Roth IRAs, and the pros and cons of brokerages for minors); 2. Making the best use of small Instacart and DashPass credits from your credit cards; 3. Staying motivated on the path to FI; and 4. Discussing FI with friends, without all the awkwardness. As always, these are my opinions and experiences -- NOT financial or professional advice of any flavor! Please reach out!
