Welcome back for season 3 of Asked & Answered! This is a 6-part series co-hosted by TFD founder Chelsea Fagan & Erin Lowry of Broke Millennial dedicated to answering your personal money questions, from budgeting and investing basics, to navigating the financial headlines of our current political climate.

In our second episode of the season, Chelsea & Erin get into the nuts and bolts of money—answering practical, real-life questions about housing decisions, life insurance, banking safely, and balancing saving with enjoying your life. They also cover lifestyle creep, how to talk to young kids about money, and whether buying a home is ever truly “required” when you’re financially stable and happily single.
