The Financial Answer Man: Carl Richards Takes Your Questions

A while back we asked you to submit your most pressing personal finance questions so that I could put them to Carl Richards, the electronic-sketching, New York Times-blogging, financial literacy-teaching author of the excellent money manual, "The Behavior Gap."

The questions poured in. Richards' answers, meanwhile, require some time to digest. So Thursday we're unveiling a new miniseries here on Making Sen$e: Carl and Paul on Personal Finance, complete with Carl's famous hand-drawn learning aids.

Please submit questions for future installments in the comments below.

This entry is cross-posted on the Making Sen$e page, where correspondent Paul Solman answers your economic and business questions.
