About this listen

From understanding if your 401(k) contributions help you qualify for a Roth IRA (spoiler: yes!), to figuring out why your home insurance just skyrocketed, to finding sneaky ways to save on that end-of-summer family vacation — we’ve got it covered on this week's Ask Farnoosh.


Plus, a personal story about how a casual chat with a friend helped Farnoosh raise her speaking fees and start earning more.


We’ll also unpack a few of the biggest money headlines from the week, including:


  • What the Fed’s latest decision really means for your wallet
  • A rare bipartisan housing bill with real promise
  • And a study that shows how preschool could boost your salary, not just your kid’s future


Questions Answered:
  • “How do I ask for a sign-on bonus without sounding greedy?”
  • “Do 401(k) contributions help me qualify for a Roth IRA?”
  • “How can I save on a last-minute family vacation?”
  • “Why did my homeowners insurance premium jump 30% this year?”
