Life is full of challenges; decisions about careers, children, housing, budgeting, and retirement to name a few. And then there are the little emergencies…car repairs, uncovered medical expenses, that school activity that means so much to your child…. the list goes on.
We all want to make good decisions in life, but what is the best move? Pay down the credit card or invest in the 401k? Refinance the house or take out a HELOC? Buy the car with the no interest loan or cash back? Own a business and not sure which retirement account structure is best?
