Are prices rising ahead of your paycheck? When that happens, it can really put a crimp in your budget. You have to look for ways around the house to cut expenses. But what if your house itself is a money pit? Well, you certainly don’t want to spend money on energy and repairs when you can avoid it. Today on MoneyWise Rob West and Steve Moore look at some ways to keep your house from eating you out of house and home. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:

-I have an 18-month-old son. He received money as gifts, which we have set aside in a CD. The CD has almost matured. What should we do with the money now?

-My husband and I prepaid our funerals. We paid for the full funeral ahead of time. Is that a good idea?

-When you close out your credit card accounts, how does that impact your credit score?

-Is there a certain amount of time that bankruptcies should fall off of your credit report?

-Now that our grandchildren are grown, we’re looking for guidelines for how much we should give them for their birthdays.

-My husband and I have been married for 47 years. My husband has controlled the money very tightly, to the point that I can’t spend anything. How should I handle this?

When the Bible clearly says that you shouldn’t do something, do you ever think that it doesn’t apply to you? It often happens when parents consider cosigning for a student loan. You want to help your kids go to college. But God’s word and the proverbial school of hard knocks teach that cosigning isn’t the way to do it. Today on MoneyWise Rob West and Steve Moore tell us why. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:

-I’m also 69 and retired. I recently sold some stock, and rolled it into an IRA. I think I should consider this money as current income, but my wife thinks it should be considered income when we take the mandatory withdraws. Which one is correct?

-I have about 4 years before I retire. I’m thinking of selling my home and purchasing a duplex so my daughter and her husband can move in next door. How should we split up the mortgage?

-I hear you talk about giving to the church, but I simply don’t think that’s biblical. Where in the Bible does it say we should spend so much money on buildings and staff?

-I’m 52 and I recently applied for Social Security. I was told that I can pay it back when I reach full retirement age and re-assess my income. Is that right?
