How do I convince my partner we can retire early?

Today’s question comes from Christina. She asks:

I’m trying to get my partner on board with the idea that we can DO this. We live in different states — I make 57k, he makes nearly 100k. I’m 37 years old, he’s 35.

Should I pay off debt or invest?

Today’s question comes from Colleen. She asks:

“I am 22 and I recently started my first job out of college as a nurse. The place I work at is a non profit and they offer a 403b, not a 401k, so I decided not to put money in that account (since after a year they will put in 7% automatically) and instead to open a roth IRA at Vanguard.
