February Mailbag: Investing and Retirement


Listen Later

#095 In this episode, we asked the mamas in our free Mamas Talk Money Community on Facebook to send us their questions.

If one person in our community has a question, there are no doubt others wondering the same thing.

Today we’re going to discuss more specifics about retirement funds, and investing!

(03:44) Kelli wants to know, "What is the recommended percentage to save for retirement? Should you have a Roth IRA in addition to a 401K?" 

(9:51) Court asks, "I know we need to be invested in small caps, medium and large caps - How do I know if I'm diversified into all three groups?" 

(19:12) Amanda says, "My employer-sponsored 401K offers target-date funds as an investment option. Do you recommend?" 

(23:03) Cathryn asks "Is FOREX a real way to make money? Pros and cons?" 

(27:07) Evelyn wonders, "Is it necessary for each spouse to have a retirement account? My employer offers a 401k with 4% match and pays the yearly fees while my husband is a teacher and his employer offers a 403b with no match and he has to pay the maintenance fees.
