no, but seriously. I've been looking into getting into investments but all this stuff seems wayyy over my head. I just don't know where to start. Stocks seem appealing because it can be such a gamble and you get a better return...mutual funds would be easier but I still don't know where the first place to start is and I'm such a tight wad with my money I don't want to shell out $90 an hour or whatever to have a guy tell me where he thinks I should put my money.....I have a Roth IRA but I hate the bank I have it with right now and I just haven't been putting enough cash into it.
I even have the option to get a 401-K going at my company but I feel like I'm living pay check to pay check as it is and don't want to start putting more of my pay check into another place when it could be going towards payback loans, bills and to support my alcoholism.
I've been looking at the online broker companies like E-Trade or Wells Fargo. Does anyone here do stocks or mutual funds online on their own? E-Trade seems pretty popular but I've also read a lot of bad reviews about their customer service and such. Anyone have any advice on where to start...sites I should read up on that will give me a sort of 101 on the whole investing thing?
