A certified financial planner offers a listener actionable advice to help him save for a big move while maintaining financial stability.

How much should you save before you move to a new city? How can you reach your savings goals while also spending on your lifestyle? Recording in-person from a studio in Chicago, host Sean Pyles sits down with Magda Doemeny, a certified financial planner with NerdWallet Advisors, to host an actual financial planning session with a listener. Jim, a 36-year-old nonprofit worker, joins them to share his aspirations of moving to a higher cost-of-living area without a job lined up. Magda advises him on how much money in living expenses he should consider saving before making the move, the practicality of high-yield savings accounts, and the benefits and limitations of using a Roth IRA for a down payment, among other practical strategies for reaching his goals while maintaining financial stability.
