Show Notes:
Mailbag Question 1:
-
- “My grandmother passed away and left me $15,000. I could use a new car. What should I do with it?“
- Damian: I don’t think there’s any way you told them to use that on the car. How are we feeling about their employment? Is it solid?
- Pete: They also are considering a $12,000 home repair. There are responsible options here. Small-ish inheritances don’t seem to get the same respect as larger amounts.
- “My grandmother passed away and left me $15,000. I could use a new car. What should I do with it?“
Mailbag Question 2:
-
- “You often talk about budgeting. Where I struggle in budgeting is to know what is actually left. We no longer live in a cash society. With debit and credit cards as our spending method, how do you actually know when you’re out of money?”
