HerMoney with Jean Chatzky

In this special Mailbag episode, we welcome back personal finance expert Dana Miranda, author of You Don’t Need a Budget, to tackle your most pressing money questions.

Mailbag Questions:

13:00 “Can I afford to work part-time post-divorce, or do I need to look for a full-time job?”
