About this episode

On episode 245 of Ask The Compound, Ben Carlson and Duncan Hill answer five listener questions on investing, bonds, housing, and personal finance. They discuss why Ben finally bought bonds for the first time in his career, whether paying down a high-interest mortgage beats buying bonds, and why home prices haven't crashed despite higher mortgage rates. Plus, how to think about home country bias when investing internationally, the risks of currency fluctuations, and Ben's best money advice for a 13-year-old just getting started with investing.
