#370: Ask Paula: My Income Is Dropping From $190,000 to $40,000; What Should I Do?

Michelle makes $190,000 and is going to switch to a career that pays $40,000 on average. To prepare for this lower salary, she’s selling her current home and buying a different one. Should she pay off her new home with the proceeds from the old one? Or should she invest her profits?

Kristen is 32, and she and her husband want to retire in less than 20 years. They make too much to contribute to a Roth IRA. Should they use back door Roth conversions to speed along their path to early retirement?

Anonymous lives in a high cost-of-living area and is wondering where to keep her down payment and emergency funds. Should she use I-bonds, TIPS, or some combination of these two?

In today’s episode, former financial planner Joe Saul-Sehy and I tackle these tough situations.

Enjoy!
