What does it mean to be a success? Having a good job? A house on the waterfront? Or a closet full of the latest fashions? We all may have different answers, but how should we view success as Christians? God’s word takes the guesswork out of defining success. Today on MoneyWise Rob West and Steve Moore discus this sometimes confusing topic. Next, they answer your questions at (800) 525-7000 and [email protected] about the following:

-I’m 19 and I just finished my first year of college. I have some money set aside and I don’t know what to do with it. How can I invest it for the long-term?

-I’ve been contributing to my kids’ 529 plan for several years. My daughter has been looking at some colleges out of state. Does that mean I’ll have to pay back all of the deductions I’ve taken in my home state?

-If I pass away before my wife, what’s a reasonable amount of cash to have available to her so she can cover insurance until the life insurance is paid out?

-I have a 401k that has rolled out to a traditional IRA. I’m now required to take a minimum distribution. Is there a way to pay that directly to a church so I can avoid taxes?

-I gave one of my IRAs to a charity. How can I get a deduction on my taxes for my donation?
