Shoot us your personal finance question -- on video

Here's a way to have a little fun -- and maybe get an answer to that personal finance question you've been dying to ask.

Our friends at the PBS show Nightly Business Report have been inviting viewers to send in brief videos with a personal finance question.

Now they're extending that invitation to MinnEcon readers.

Interested? Here's what to do.

1.) Shoot a brief video of yourself -- alone or with friends and family -- asking a personal finance question. It can be about anything from student loans to mortgages, car leases to interest rates.

2.) Post the video on line. YouTube, Facebook or Vimeo would be great.

3.) Click here and tell us where to find the video.

We'll take it from there.

We'll send the videos to Nightly Business Report. They'll choose some questions and seek expert answers. The ones that are answered will appear on MinnEcon and on NBR's Riding Out the Storm site.

Check out the NBR Widget we hope will feature MinnEcon questions and answers.

Of course, we can't promise they'll all get answered. But be creative and give it a try! You may get a response and make us all a little smarter about our money.

By the way, Chris Farrell of Minnesota Public Radio News and Marketplace is one of the folks answering questions. Here's his answer to the question: "Are Student Loans Smart?"
