With avid outdoorsmen in our house, our diet consists of a wide variety of meats. And I mean wide. Fish, dove, goose, duck, pheasant, grouse, turkey, turtle, crawfish, bullfrog, squirrel, rabbit, deer, elk.

Dear Dave, I’m currently on Baby Step 2, and I have about $7,000 in debt to pay off before I can move to bulking up my emergency fund in Baby Step 3. When you’re paying off debt, what do you recommend for 401(k) contributions?

Dear Dave, My girlfriend’s parents are divorced, and they’re both in their early seventies. We talked the other night, and she’s thinking about buying them each life insurance policies. The only coverage her dad has is through his employer.
