Today we take a look back at some of my favorite questions and posts of the previous week! From loans to portfolios to social security, there is always something new in the world of finance.

Waiting on Social Security

With age expectancy growing higher, will you regret filing for Social Security earlier on? We take a look at whether or not it benefits you to file or wait.
