Ask Paula: If I Were to Interview Suze Orman Again Today, How Would It Go?

<p>#294: Jeffrey is curious: if I were to interview Suze Orman today, would I agree more or less with her thoughts on the financial independence retire early (FIRE) movement?</p> <p>Matt wants to know: if a property cash flows really well, is it worth paying significantly more than the appraised value to purchase that income stream?</p> <p>Sara and her husband are returning to the states after living abroad for a few years. They’re moving to an expensive area where three to four bedroom homes cost $800,000+. They have $150,000 saved for a downpayment, but a $600,000 mortgage isn’t what they had in mind. What should they do?</p> <p>Eva and her partner are squirreling away money before the birth of their baby. They’d like to pay off their $90,000 mortgage in three years, but they’re afraid to use the money in case of unexpected baby expenses. What’s their best move?</p> <p>Justin and his wife want to take a gap year with their children in three years. They plan to visit Spain and London for six months each. What are unexpected expenses that they should factor into their budget?</p> <p>Former financial planner Joe Saul-Sehy and I answer these questions on today’s episode.
