Is aggressively paying off your debt causing other areas of your life to suffer?
Years ago my wife and I accumulated over $27k worth of debt and it haunted me every day until I paid it off. Credit card interest rates are some of the highest and debt can feel like a dark cloud hanging over you until it's paid off. However, after reading an article from Elizabeth Gravier that outlines four signs that you’re paying off your debt too fast, it made me think about that time in my life and what I might’ve done differently. Hopefully, today’s episode helps give you a new perspective on how you can pay down your debt without going broke or unnecessarily suffering.

What happens to the money saved in my 529 plan if my kid doesn’t go to college?
 
This episode is all thanks to a question I received from a listener from my recent episode with Marc Russel (378) asking about what happens to the money saved in a 529 plan if your child decides they don’t want to go to a 4-year college or higher education at all. The good news is, you have options, and that money doesn’t have to go to waste. Find out all the different ways you can use this money, plus how the newest version of the Secure Act can help set up your kid for retirement.

Do you have a child in your life that you want to help pay for their college tuition?
 
Tuition costs can range anywhere from $10k-$40k depending on if you attend a public or private college. Even on the lower end of the scale, that’s a lot of money to save and as someone who doesn’t have any kids but has a niece, I wanted to pick the brain of Marc Russell, the founder of BetterWallet to see if there’s any way I could help contribute to her college savings fund. Listen to today’s episode to get the details on contributing to a 529 plans as a non-parent,, taxes and everything in-between.
