I am 28, single, and applying for PhD programs in Public Health. I will most likely get full funding for the PhD. However, I am worried about moving expenses , etc. I have been working for two years and have a 401(b) retirement plan. When I quit my job to start my PhD should I withdraw the money in order to help pay for my moving expenses? I understand that there will probably be about a 30% penalty. Any ideas?

It seems to amaze me that people would get a joint bank/credit card account together and this includes a spouse. Only negative things can go wrong with having a joint account-there are no positives. Even for married folks, accounts should be seperate from each other as 2 purposes are served. They can see who and where the money is being spent, and secondly if there is a divorce, one of the partners can not run up a large credit bill which can affect the other's credit rating. This will just alleviate many problems in the future if the marriage or partnership was to disolve which unfortunately happens too much. I am not married yet, and I haven't experienced the things that can go wrong with joint accounts, but I sure have heard the horror stories. It just seems to make logical and financial sense. Agree or disagree?

I teach 3rd graders a 6 week segment on how to manage their money, in regards to saving and spending. I am stumped. Last week I handed out play money for them to use this week. I bought several items from the dollar store and put prices on them for them to "buy" them. I'm still intending on doing that, but was wondering if anyone had any other suggestions? The class is at 11:30 and I go to school at 10 for an English class so I only have about an hour for some help!

I plan to invest $400,000 in the following taxable account:

40% - Vanguard CA Intermediate term tax exempt fund (VCAIX)
40% - Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund (VTSMX)
20% - Vangaurd Tax Managed International Fund (VTMGX)

I am 27 and hope not to touch the money until retirement in at least 30 years. I want a simple portfolio with a 60/40 split (I have a 401k but dont want that to come into consideration here). Am I on the right track or does anyone have any suggestions for improvement?

Thanks in advance!
