Welcome to NerdWallet s Smart Money podcast, where we answer your real-world money questions.
This week s episode starts with a discussion of the recent $1 billion Powerball lottery and the many decisions the winner has to make now.
Then we pivot to this week s question, from Mike in Columbia, Missouri. He says, When my wife and I met, neither of us had a ton of savings and I was carrying some debt. After years of work, we have no debt other than a mortgage and a good cushion in the bank. We ve also had career success that led to big raises in recent years. I feel like the habits that got us here are not necessarily the habits that we need now. It doesn t feel like a good use of our extra funds for it to be sitting in a savings account.
