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 - Accelerated Mortgage Payoff - is velocity banking a smart way to quickly pay off my mortgage?

2 - Donor Advised Funds - do I get to deduct more from my taxes if my donor advised contribution grows after investing?

3 - Retirement Investing - am I better off contributing to my Roth IRA or my employee sponsored 457b?

4 - Medical Bills - should I take an offer for a medical bill discount by paying before the end of the year, or is there a better option?

5 - Life Insurance - I already have rental properties and a 401k that my baby could inherit so do I also need life insurance?
