I think lots of people don’t like to keep much cash available in a savings/checking account — instead they prefer to put it in investments like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement plans, etc.
But you still have to have some spending money available, of course, so I was wondering what’s an average amount to have? Do you have any idea?

My fiance and I are both 25, have dependable high paying jobs, and are already home owners. Neither of us have school loans, credit card debt or other outstanding debt with the exception of one car payment. I’m wondering where we should look to invest our money in the coming years as I’d like more return on investment than my current money market account is offering. What other long term, moderate risk investments should we consider?

I am reaching the age of 60 this year. The stock market has had a long bullish run. However, because of economic uncertainty and my age, I want to reposition my portfolio into a more defensive posture. I have read much advice recently but would like to hear from others who have personal experience with this or from anyone with ideas about defensive investments that might offer yields above bank CD rates.

I am a college sophomore. I earned about $5000 last year in interest from savings and investments. My total income for the year, however, was still only about $18,000 including this interest. Even though my total income is low, will the high interest amount I earned adversly affect my chances of qualifying for federal student aid next semester?
