In mailbag episode of Check Your Balances, we break down the financial reality of choosing between 1099 and W2 employment. Do the additional deductions actually make this a way better deal? We also tackle the Roth IRA debate of whether you should swing for the fences with high-growth stocks or play the long game with broad-market index funds. Finally, we tackle tax season head-on by evaluating if premium tax software offers genuine value or if you're better off with a less expensive option - and how to evaluate them. Whether you're weighing a new job offer or optimizing your retirement bucket, this episode provides the framework for making smarter money moves this spring.
