Ask HTM - Hanging Onto A Car Loan, Small Purchases That Spark Joy, & Maximizing HSA Benefits #664

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 - Should I freeze my 1 year old’s credit, and if so, how do I do that?

2 - I’m thinking about hanging onto a car loan and putting my cash in high yield savings- is this a smart move?

3 - In the HTM Money Mission Statement, why do y’all ask about small purchases that bring joy as opposed to larger purchases?

4 - What should I do with an old HSA that I’m no longer contributing to?

5 - Our FSA reimbursement dollars will be hitting our account soon- what should we do with that money?
