After reading all the great advice I feel easing into the market would work best. As of the 2nd I'll be putting $300,000 of the Vanguard IRA into VTWNX, Target 2020 fund, it appears to have the best stock/bond ratio for my age and situation. Not sure after that first purchase the course I will take ...

Thank you all for the great advice, I am currently checking into some of the sites recommended. I live in Florida and currently my partner is covering most expenses as we share a home together and he is covering my medical insurance. I'm hoping not to even touch the IRA until after 59 1/2 and know I...

Got out because I lost my job and a divorce. Not a new comer to the market, was an investor for over 30 years and went through some pretty tough times, also worked in the business for 30 years. It was just one of those things where I just needed some calm somewhere in my life. This now seems pretty ...

Need help getting back in the market after selling everything 12-31-2010. At that time I was almost even from the crash of 2006. But having my money in money market is ridicules so I'm finally going to do something. Here's where I stand. I'm 55 and not working, with no prospect to start. Partner has...

My partner opened up a R/O IRA with Vanguard thinking he was going to move his 401k over, that could not happen, so can he just contribute to the R/O with yearly contributions or should he open a traditional IRA, is there a difference?

Thank you both, I'll let him know.

My partner has a 401k with his old company, they were bought out and he is now being told he cannot move the funds to Vanguard IRA R/O because the 401k was also bought out. Does this sound legal, can they insist he move to the new company which does not contribute to the new 401k plan? Thanks.

As an avid cyclist (note user name) I can tell you no one in our club rides at night without lights. I live in Florida where there are many people who have no other choice but to ride their bikes at night either to or from work and cannot afford lights for them. Would it be at all possible to put yo...

I was in the same situation with my boyfriend. He had a lot of credit card debt due to his previous marriage and didn't own a home. He had a great job and made very good money but had child support payments that took up 1/2 of his monthly income with over 4 years left of those payments. We worked on...

So for those of us over 45, who would you say is your favorite of the two.
