Ask HTM - Breaking Bad Budgets, Higher Returns By Investing In A Side Hustle, & WTD About A State Pension #526

We’re kicking off the week by answering listener questions! And if you have a question that you’d like for us to answer on the show, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask , send us your voice memo. Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!   1 - How detailed should we get with our monthly budget - should we break out individual items on receipts? 2 - What kind of pre-tax-post-tax balance should I strike when contributing to retirement accounts? 3 - Should I seek higher returns by investing more into my side business? 4 - For my retirement - should I continue building up towards my state pension or switch to a 401k with a match? 5 - Is it a good idea to tap equity in my current home for a down payment on an investment property?   During this episode we enjoyed a Taras Boulba by Brasserie De La Senne!
