Health Savings Account

Dear Penny Hoarder; I have a health savings account from a previus employer with UMB. I fully understand the importance of this financial tool, however I find it very dismaying that it does not earn any interest and I am being charged $4-5.00 a month for fees. I rarely use it because I try to stay healthy and cannot believe that I am losing $50.00 a year for UMB to hold my money. Any suggestions? ThanksRead More...

Don't put anything more into it. Instead, open a savings account and put whatever you normally contribute into that account. Then if you need the money, it's there drawing interest or if you need it for something non-medical, it's there for that too.Read More...

Dear Penny Hoarder; I have 3 separate 401K accounts from 2 different employers and a personal 401K & Roth on my own. Should I combine these to one account or leave them as they are? ThanksRead More...

I also have multiple accounts. I am no expert, but your required distributions in retirement would be based on the account value at the time of distribution so it might not make a difference whether or not they are combined; it might (depending on the investments in each account and the value at the time of distribution) be the same amount of income either way. Diversifying (keeping all of the individual accounts) has pros and cons in my opinion. Pros: As the years go by you will have a...Read More...

Life changing decisions

Hi, I have some life-changing decisions that I'm about to make from buying a house to buying a car dada dada dada. For about a month now, I have been weighing out the decision of using a financial firm to manage investments where I'm charged 1.25% per quarter or something like that also along with a life insurance plan where I have to make contributions towards it in addition to my initial premium of about $12,000 I think. I also had an art investment firm that I was curious about but when...Read More...

What too pay off first

Forum: Reboot Your Credit - LIVE Q&A with Dear Penny & Credit Sesame

Beau W.
Hello there, I have a credit card and a line of credit with a credit union. Both have about $1700.00 balance yet to payoff. Line of credit is a 7.9% interest rate and the credit card has a 8% rate. I have the money too pay one off. Which one is better too pay off for my credit score going up?Read More...
JeremyM
Since they are both similar amounts and similar interest rates, I'd pay off the one with the highest monthly payment. If that, too, is similar then it doesn't really matter. Paying off either will lower your usage of available credit, which will raise your credit score in a month or so. I would use the monthly payment of the one that you paid off to make extra payments on the one that you didn't to get that paid off quicker.Read More...

No ma'am. All current and on time payments.Read More...
