We’re kicking off the week by answering your listener questions!

Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!

2 - Skipping life insurance: Why shouldn’t I just forego term life if I can claim social security survivor benefits?

3 - DCFSA: Is it legal for my partner to claim our new daughter in order to contribute more to a dependent care flexible spending account?

4 - New cars: First-time mama asking what the best rides are with a baby in tow?

5 - $100,000: What should we do with an inheritance if we have a serious medical condition but also have investing goals?
