>> doing great. what's your question? >> caller: i'm well. my question is over the holidays every store i walked into offered 20% to 30% if you got your card, applied your purchase to the credit card. luckily i was able to pay the cards off so i'm not getting interest but what do i do with the cards? do i keep them? cancel them? should i have not gotten hem? >> you should not have gotten them at all. >> how come? >> because when you apply for credit you're basically saying to the credit bureaus that you need credit and that can take your credit score down. the inquiries into your file aren't a good thing. you have two and that's a double whammy. now that you have them, cancelling them will hurt your credit score more. hold onto them. don't use them. eventually if they take up too much space in the wallet, cancel them at a rate of one every six to 12 months. but don't do it before you plan to apply for a car loan or mortgage. don't get any more cards! >> thank you, jon. now to skype to check in with valerie from wisconsin. good morning, valerie. >> hi. >> what's your question?

>> first of all, you sound like you're in a hole. let me pull you back up. good news for you, you have two jobs. you're working and in this world working is a good thing. don't give your jobs up. cash is king. we don't notice it until it's gone. keep the jobs. as far as grad school, go to gradschool.com. there are a ton of schools you can go to that won't require you to give up your jobs. many you can go in the evening. you can take classes online. i have a lot of friends getting master's degrees and mbas and half of it's online. and you don't have a lot of debt. you don't have credit card debt. you have a small amount of medical debt. see if you can get the interest waived and work out a payment plan over a year or two. then keep saving money for grad school. don't give up the day job. >> all right, valerie. thank you. back to the phones. we have erica from bloomington, illinois. good morning. >> caller: good morning. >> your question? >> caller: well, i'm 23 and i'm working at a company with a competitive 401(k) program. i'm going to end my career in five to ten years to stay home as a mom. i still want to save for retirement. should i use my 401(k) or go with something outside of work like an ira? >> i have an idea what sharon will say. >> erica, first of all, congratulations on saving for retirement now at 23. you have 40 years of growth ahead of you. you are well ahead of many americans trying to figure out if they can ever stop working. congratulations on that. you have a great 401(k) program. keep prohibiting at least up to the company match. then do something extra. your i.r.a. a idea is a great one. do a roth i.r.a. why? you're 23. it's likely you will be in a higher tax bracket when you retire. the great thing with a roth is you take out the money tax-free over 59 and a half. and then the contributions, you can take out tax-free at a any time. while this is your retirement account, if something happens when you're staying home and you need the money, you can access it. two ways to save. >> thank you, erica. we have dave in ohio. good morning. >> caller: good morning. >> what's your question? >> caller: yeah. i have a negative equity loan. my current lender which owns the loan won't do any refinancing with me. other lenders wouldn't refinance me unless i was financed through fannie mae or freddie mac. then they would give me up to 120% of my home value. the other offers were a.r.m.s and i don't want to do that. what can i do to get refinanced? >> i don't think that a.r.m. is such a bad idea, particularly if it's a 5-1 or 7-1 arm. you want a period of time to really pay down the debt to get yourself in the positive so then you can refinance at a better rate. so look at what they are offering you in terms of an a.r.m. go from there and good luck with that. >> rates are lower than ever. >> good luck, dave. thanks for calling in. jean, dave and sharon, thanks for being here. >> good to be here. up next, saving big next time you go to the doctor without sacrificing quality health care. later on, hiding your flaws while highlighting your best features with expert makeup tips. i don't think she has any flaw. first, these messages. capital one's new cash rewards card gives you a 50 percent annual bonus. so you earn 50 percent more cash. if you're not satisfied with 50% more cash, send it back! i'll be right here, waiting for it. who wouldn't want more cash?

>> you absolutely can. this applies more to people paying out of pocket who have lost their health care insurance. just speak to the account manager. explain your situation and often times they will give you a discount if you explain, i have lost my job. or if you pay cash up front they will be likely to give you a discount. >> good to know. another one people may not know about. you say to consider pill splitting. >> yes. >> this means when the doctor gives you a prescription you ask them to give you double the doseage and then cut it in half. >> exactly right. that can save you 50% on medication costs. the amount manufacturers charge is the same amount for a 40 milligram pill as a 20 milligram pill. if you take 20 milligrams, ask for a 40 and cut it in half. ask if the prescription you take is eligible to be cut. extended release medications can't be cut in half. >> doesn't work for everything. don't mess with medication in that sense. >> yes. >> next, ask for a generic prescription. a lot of people -- there are a lot of generics on the market. what about for the drugs that are specific, don't have generics yet. what can you do? >> first, ask your doctor to check if it comes generic. i had a patient paying $100 for a brand and $10 a month for a generic. >> huge savings. >> if it wasn't come generic ask your insurance company if there is another drug within the same class that's less expensive. often times insurance companies create some sort of arrangement with the drug manufacturer to get lower costs for one specific drug. >> speaking of pharmacies and specific drug companies, there are both chain farm sis, independent pharmacies as well. you say it's important to shop at preferred pharmacies. what do you mean? >> i wasn't aware of this until recently. local pharmacies and even mom and pop pharmacies can e enroll in a program that the insurance companies offer that allows them to give deep discounts on medications. you may be going to a pharmacy not knowing a block away is a preferred pharmacy. ask your insurance provider which pharmacies in my neighborhood are part of the program. you can get cost savings as well. >> another way to save on prescriptions. you say use mail order service so there are a lot of mail order services out there now. >> there are. most insurance company wills provide a mail order prescription service. you get a 90-day supply for one copay. that saves you money and it's convenient. saves time as well rather than going to a pharmacy every month for your 30-day refill. >> you get your prescription right away? >> there could be a lag time of a week or two. if you need to start taking your medication right away, ask for two prescriptions -- one for a local pharmacy for a month and one for the three-month supply with refills to cover you. >> this is a smart way to save money. carefully read your medical bills. a lot of people don't realize there are mistakes made. >> right. people take it for granted. experts have estimated that eight of ten medical bills may have an error. at women's health we recommend, ask for a copy of the bill, check for accuracy and when you get the explanation of benefits by your insurance plan that will tell you what they reimburse. check it as well. you never know. >> that will help you keep track of medical expenses which is your last tip. what are other easy ways to make sure you're on track? >> keep track of medical expenses. some are tax deductible which many people aren't aware of. a lot of eligible things are contact lenses, hearing aids, eyeglasses. if you are not a good organizer, i like mint.com. it keeps track of your expenses and categorizes them at the end of the year so you have a spreadsheet for your accountant to see if they are eligible for deductions. >> one of jean chatzky's favorites as well. thank you. coming up, what should and shouldn't be allowed on tv. the supreme court takes on i indecency. first, these messages.
