Jill on Money Radio Show: Roth or Pre-Tax, Which Is Better?

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Just like last week, no guest in hour two this week. A few segments of calls and a few segments of answering emails. The old school approach continues for at least another week :) Reminds me of when we started this little adventure back in 2011!

First up is Jason from DC who’s wondering if he can afford to make a career change, as well as mix in a bit of international travel, all during a pandemic.

Then we chatted with Tony from Buffalo who had a few mortgage/real estate related questions as he and his wife plan out their future dream home.

Nothing like helping settle a friendly, sisterly debate about who’s right when it comes to using a Roth IRA. One sister says yes, Roth all the way! The other says not so fast, I think pre-tax is the way to go. Is there a winner?

Coronavirus: Mortgage Market Part Two

When it comes to finding a mortgage for a new home purchase or a refinance, there’s more to consider than simply getting a low interest rate.

That's why we're bringing on Mike Raimi, Managing Director at Luxury Mortgage Corp.

Mike covers all the usual topics, such as a 15 or 30 year mortgage, who should (and should not) be looking to refinance, and how the real estate market has changed, if at all, given what's going on with the pandemic.

CBS This Morning: Spring Housing Market

Last week, the Federal Reserve decided not to raise interest rates. The more dovish Fed outlook pushed down interest rates, which led mortgage rates to 14-month lows. The current 30-year fixed rate loan stands at just under 4.3 percent, just in time for the spring home buying season. I joined CBS This Morning to discuss.
