He asked me to help him out. I thought DT might be a good place to post some of these questions. We certainly do have a diverse and opinionated group.
For the record, I have nothing to gain here, just trying to help a friend out. If you don't feel comfortable posting something in the thread feel free to PM me, but the questions are very benign. I answered the questions too and will post my answers.

What keeps you at up at night (financially speaking)?
nothing
If you could get a straight answer from some you could trust about your most important financial, career and market related questions what would you ask?best mix of funds to place my husbands 401k. whether it makes sense to pay off our house a lot earlier-probably would since we don't have enough deductions to itemize.
Do you feel it's hard to plan for your future because of economic uncertainty?
no
If you had known about the recent financial crisis in advance would you have made different decisions?
i'm comfortable with where we were at that time.

Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
