Ask HTM - ETFs vs Mutual Funds, Taking Advantage of a Zero Down Home Loan, & the Nitty Gritty of FIRE #520

We’re kicking off the week by answering listener questions! And if you have a question that you’d like for us to answer on the show, we’d love for you to submit your own via HowToMoney.com/ask , send us your voice memo. Regardless of how random or bizarre you might think it is, we want to hear it!

 

1 - Should I buy ETFs or mutual funds when investing within a taxable brokerage account?

2 - What should we do with the proceeds from selling our house?

3 - As we achieve FIRE, how do we go about easily withdrawing our retirement funds early without getting hit with penalties?

4 - Is it a good idea to put down 0% on a new home? And if it is, what should I do with extra money that I would have on hand?

5 - Should I ditch my workplace 401k and move to a Roth IRA instead?
