Let’s kick off the week with some fresh listener questions we have lined up for you! And don't just stand on the sidelines- if you have a question you’d like us to answer, toss your voice memo our way. It only takes about 90 seconds to record and you can find a step by step guide over at HowToMoney.com/ask . Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!

1 - Caring for parents: how do I financially prepare to take care of my parents as they enter their later years?

3 - Charitable giving: can I use a donor advised fund to strategically give to my local church, even if they don’t accept electronic payments?

4 - Extra mortgage payments: should I stop making extra payments on our house and instead invest those dollars?

5 - Old 401k: what should I do with my old 401k after accepting a new job?
