We talk about the investment markets' ups (and downs) and finding the right balance between safety and potential return. We also share the states with the best and worst home equity appreciation.

• How should an end-of-year backdoor Roth be done?

• Can someone from out-of-state attend Retiremeet?

• What do we think of some advice from a Voya rep?

• Is renting really better than buying a home?
