So, you just told your listeners who are over 45 and have been listening to and supporting you for years that you don’t want us. Ok, sounds great.
Good show, will keep listening, like the calls and some of the advice.
Terrible advice around borrowing from 401k’s…. On a specific call gave rationale that parent plus loans are 9%… didn’t mention if there are penalties from borrowing from retirement… or the loss of future growth… or the tax impact from pulling the money out… how about recommending neither option
And advice about keeping mortgages… not terrible advice but bad
Jill and Mark bring relevant information that you can use to help with your financial decisions in daily life, in understandable language. I appreciate the straightforward approach handed out with occasional humor.
I learn so much from listening to Jill and Mark. Keeps me grounded and sane. Thanks so much. ❤️
I’ve learned a ton from Jill and Mark. They take a compassionate and fun approach to a topic that can be difficult to understand. A big thanks to you both for helping more of us become financially literate!
