Doug and Carl answer questions from the Facebook mailbag and read recent podcast reviews.

  • Kristian – I was recently discussing the subject of financial independence with a friend, she sits in the business and entrepreneurial camp, and she has a strong opinion, regarding “having a FI number” as she thinks it is limiting my mindset. She often says that she feels like it’s working towards a minimum standard rather than trying to maximize my potential. Do you have any thoughts on this?
  • Brett – Car loan pay-off is $7053; car loan is $446 a month, interest is 2.3%. Have been paying $200 a week to get the car paid off ASAP. Savings is paying 5.5% APY. Should I continue paying the car off ASAP or would it make more sense to just pay the monthly payment due to the savings APY?
  • Molly – I drive a really beautiful and sleek 2008 Honda Civic. My insurance keeps creeping up. I just spoke to the agent and I could raise my deductible to 1K or 2K for modest savings, but the 5K deductible gets me to around $60 a month. I like the sound of that – but is a 5K deductible insane? I have zero desire to upgrade my car. I like the older cars that aren’t fully computer chips at this point. What do you guys think?
  • Ben – Anyone else a very unfrugal FI individual? I like to eat out, I like newer cars, I like new toys.
  • Steven – Vanguard recently sent a letter stating that my Solo 401k is moving to Ascensus. Ultimately it looks like the potential for a couple new fees that I would rather avoid. So with that in mind what would you suggest?
