[Get Rich Slowly] » What is a Roth IRA and Why Should You Care?: I’d really like to know more about SEP IRAs, especially how I can set one up with Vanguard, Fidelity or whoever. More pressing for myself, I’d like to know how to transfer one SEP IRA at one institution (my current bank) to another institution (another bank or some other entity) since most places I’ve asked won’t accept my SEP IRA unless I convert it to a Roth, which would mean I could no longer make contributions.

[In the Library with the Lead Pipe] A Librarian's Guide to 332.024 | In the Library with the Lead Pipe: If you aren’t investing directly in an index fund, you’re either picking your own stocks and bonds (which is almost always a bad idea, even for professionals) or you’re using an advisor to pick your investments for you. Some people aren’t going to be satisfied with Tobias or Malkiel, or they don’t have the attention span to read about personal finance, or they feel so overwhelmed by money that it shorts out their ability to think rationally.

[Bible Money Matters] » Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University: Week 9 - Of Mice and ...: Your choices for different types of investment is pretty wide and varied.   One thing to keep in mind when investing - diversify!  Don’t get caught with only your company’s stock, or a couple of stocks you think will perform well.  You’ll end up getting burned (think Enron)!

[Getting Finances Done] Financial Peace University Overview Part 3 - Retirement and ...: with a Roth IRA you invest money post-tax but then your investment grows tax free and you can withdraw it at retirement tax free. In very basic terms, you would typically choose a Roth IRA if you think your income at retirement will exceed your current income.

[Round Table Life Insurance] The age old whole vs. term life insurance question: An easy way to fix the estate problem (if, in fact, your estate is large enough), is to have the spouses own one another's life insurance policies. This way, let's say in the event you die first, your death benefit would pass to the owner and beneficary of your policy (your husband), and not be added to your estate.

[Generation X Finance] How to Roll Over Your 401(k) When You Leave or Lose Your Job - The ...: I agree that in situations like that where you’re close to retiring and you may be retiring pre-59.5 and need to begin accessing those funds, the different 401k rules can change the decision of rolling into an IRA or not. But since this site primarily addresses issues for the 30-something crowd, the drawbacks of leaving money in a 401k for that reason alone probably isn’t worth it for most people.

[Get Rich Slowly] » How to Start a Roth IRA (and Where to Do It): The advantage of a Roth over a Traditional IRA is that you’ve already paid taxes on the money you’re putting in, and anything you earn in a Roth won’t be taxed, but if you pull it out before 59 1/2 you’ll be penalized (10%) and the penalty is the same for a Traditional IRA. With a Traditional IRA you take pre tax dollars and place it in the IRA, when you take it out (before or after 59 1/2) you’ll pay taxes on it.

[The Simple Dollar] The Simple Dollar » Ask Me Anything You Want!: You seem to have all of your daily activites planned down to a science so I wonder, what does your wife contribute on a dy-to day basis? As someone with a newly turned 3-year-old, a 5 month old, husband’s full time job and my part time job, I know how difficult it is just to get LIFE under control, but your posts make it seem like you cook from scratch every night and perform routine household maintenance on a daily basis as well as enrich your personal, professional, and spritual lives constantly!

[More Money - Money Magazine's personal finance blog » Money Helps] Can you live on less in retirement? - Personal Finance blog ...: If I (and a theoretical spouse) had the ability to max a 401k, 403b, 457, and two Roth IRAs in any down market, I'd do it in a heartbeat as long as I had a healthy emergency fund and enough to live on otherwise. This market has been a real opportunity to "be greedy when others are fearful".

[Get Rich Slowly] » The Nonconformists' Guide to Personal Finance: If I don’t like the outcome of that equation in the place I choose to live, I feel I could be putting money in a Roth IRA, my employer’s 401k program, and/or high-yield savings accounts at much less risk, rent my home and not be responsible for repair and maintenance, and be working towards my retirement without banking on Social Security. I fail to see how the essay is unwise financial advice, a mortgage can be just as risky of an investment as any other.

[Entrepreneurship.org e360 Blog] Entrepreneurship.org e360 Blog | Dying to Make Money - are you joking?: Yup, our ol’ friends at Goldman Sachs. The Bailout Barons at Goldman are so excited by all that juicy death that they’ve already invented a kind of death index “enabling investors to bet on whether people will live longer than expected or die sooner than planned.” That is not a made-up quote, folks: that’s straight out of The New York Times business section.

[The Big Picture] The Big Picture » Blog Archive » Madoff Story Smells Funny: BR: with due respect it doesn’t require a spidey sense just commonsense to realize he wasn’t doing this on his own. The generation of income statements, depositing of checks and wires, redemptions etc etc would have required dozens of people, probably hundreds actually, to manage assets of $17-21 billion which are the figures I see bandied about.
