He’s known in his neighborhood for a crazy personal finance game where he offers kids candy or a chance at some money when they trick-or-treat at his house. What will he do this year?! He’ll share and give you tips on organizing your own game. Then we’ll Magnify Steve’s money and answer his question about retirement contributions and debt payoff.
