  1. My son is in terrible debt. I would like to email some of your information to him, but I don’t see any link for emailing information. Is there a way? Please instruct me how to do this.

    1. Thanks for wanting to share! I hope your son can benefit from some of my posts. There are a couple of ways to share. I’ve enabled email sharing so you can just click the green email button at the bottom of any post or in the floating bar on the left side. You can also copy and paste the page URLs you’re interested in sharing into your email client directly. The page URL can be found in the browser’s address bar. Let me know if you still have any questions.

  2. Hi! Ths may be a little off topic, but can you please tell me what is the absolute best place to start a savings account? (As far as earning interest goes). I have looked into investment companies, that allow you to start a savings account with little cash down, but I feel like I don’t know enough about Investing, & I really don’t have time to study up on it at the moment. Thk you, P. W. P.S. (Where should I be sending general questions & Messeges other than here? Thks!

    1. The best place to compare rates is probably BankRate, but with all the rates dropping lately, I’m not sure there’s any “best” of the bunch. If you’re just looking for a high yield savings account, you don’t need to worry about the investment side of things. The two should be separate. Just look for the accounts labeled savings or cash.

      Personally, I’ve used Simple, Wealthfront, and Betterment for high yield savings. I’ve tried bouncing around to always get the best rate, but it can be time-consuming and since they change the rates frequently, it wasn’t really worth the effort. I finally settled on Betterment since we have several of our investments there so it’s mostly all in one place. They also have a cool feature that monitors our checking and sweeps excess cash into our cash reserve account so it’s earning a bit more.

      I hope that helps. If you have other questions or want to discuss this one more you can email me directly at [email protected].
