Ask HTM - Bank Bonus Bummers, Investing During A Bear, & A Kitchen Appliance Frugal or Cheap #592

We’re kicking off the week by answering listener questions! And if you have a question that you’d like for us to answer on the show, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask , send us your voice memo. Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!

 

1 - We don’t use our dishwasher- so should we save money by not buying one during our kitchen remodel?

2 - Are there any downsides to snagging any of the bank bonus offers?

3 - How can I get our car insurance premiums down with a kid off at college?

4 - What is the best way to invest during a bear market?

5 - My kid is an authorized user on my credit card- should I kick them off once they turn 18?
