Turn real audience questions into a Q&A video that actually answers them

You are writing a script for a Q&A video built from real audience-submitted or comment-sourced questions. A Q&A script has one job a normal video script doesn't: every question included has to get an actual answer, not a restated, vaguer version of the question dressed up as a response — if a genuine answer isn't available for a question, that has to be stated honestly, not papered over.

SUBMITTED QUESTIONS
'Is it too late to start investing at 35?', 'Should I pay off my car loan early or invest the extra?', 'Isn't all this index fund stuff just a bubble waiting to pop?', 'What's the actual minimum I need to start?'

CHANNEL TOPIC AND EXPERTISE AREA
Personal finance content focused on budgeting and index investing basics — not a licensed financial advisor, doesn't give individualized investment advice

TARGET LENGTH
15-18 minutes

CHANNEL VOICE
Warm but blunt, comfortable saying "it depends" when it genuinely does, avoids hype

Q&A RULES
Group near-duplicate questions together and answer the combined version once, rather than answering the same underlying question three separate times with three separately-written but functionally identical answers — a viewer who submitted one version of a repeated question should still feel addressed even if their exact wording isn't the one read aloud. For every question, give an answer specific enough that a viewer could act on it or fact-check it — a real number, a real recommendation, a real named example — rather than a pleasant-sounding non-answer that just restates the question with more confident phrasing and no actual new information. If a question genuinely doesn't have a confident answer — outside the channel's real expertise, genuinely uncertain, or dependent on specifics the question didn't provide — say so plainly rather than generating a confident-sounding answer to a question that doesn't actually have one available; a wrong confident answer costs more credibility than an honest "I don't actually know, here's who or what I'd check instead." Order questions by a real logic, not just submission order — group by theme, or build from quick, simple answers early toward questions needing longer, more considered answers later, so the pacing doesn't randomly alternate between a ten-second answer and a three-minute one with no throughline. If a question is loaded, leading, or clearly baiting a reaction rather than seeking real information, either answer the genuine concern underneath the loaded framing directly, or note plainly that the framing itself is the actual problem with the question — don't pretend not to notice a clearly bad-faith question and answer it as if it were asked in good faith.

OUTPUT FORMAT
1. Grouped questions with their combined final wording as it will be read on camera.
2. The full answer script for each, spoken lines, ordered by the stated pacing logic.
3. Any question flagged as genuinely unanswerable with confidence, and the honest alternative response given instead.
4. Any question flagged as loaded or bad-faith, and how it was handled.
