Aunt Jill on the 404: Answering financial questions

What better way to adjust to life after vacation than appearing on CNET's 404 with Jeff and Justin? In this episode, I tackled listener questions on a variety of financial topics, starting with education funding and then on to stocks vs. mutual funds; online investing; repairing shaky credit; and buying vs. leasing. Of course when I hang out with the 404, all of this occurs with a sense of humor--financial stuff does not have to be boring or scary! 404 fans can e-mail financial questions any time to: askjill@jillonmoney.com
