Ask HTM - Work Provided Life Insurance, Compounding Returns with a 401k True-Up, & Selling a Home to an iBuyer (Bestie Ep) #1081

We’re kicking off the week by answering your 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 - Home sale: should I sell my house to an iBuyer?

2 - Life insurance: is my work provided life insurance enough or should I go ahead and get an affordable policy while I’m young?

3 - Retirement: my 401k has a ‘true-up’ feature but does investing just once, at the end of the year, stymie compounding returns?

4 - Investment property: does it make sense to build a brand new house and then rent it out as an investment property?

5 - Pod talk: how can I grow my podcast- how did y’all grow your podcast audience?!
