Basically, we want to live together and found it would be much more financially comfy to combine accounts as opposed to trying to split everything seperately. Is this a good idea before getting married? Dating almost 17 months, we trust each other big time.

Why is it so hard to withdraw from your 401K? I realize that the purpose of the account is for retirement, but I want to use it for a down payment on a home without having to pay it back.

I am currently debating between three mutual funds for a Roth IRA account. One fund has a roughly 200% turnover ratio (far greatest of the three), another pays many dividends, and the third has generally produced the best returns of the three over 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. Which fund should I put into a Roth IRA in order to potentially maximize long-term returns on my investment?

Just about every day someone asks "How can I get rich?" Is it not obvious that you if you save a portion of your income and invest it, over time you will accumualte wealth? That and "What business should I start?" Is it not obvious that if you are not an expert in a given area your business will almost definitely fail? Ever watch "Amercian Idol?" People who are ugly and can't sing are trying to be famous pop stars. Then they blame Simon. Same thing here. People who lack the basics want to outperform the pack. Another favorite, "How do I get a lot of money fast?" You can't and if you did you'd be broke again in no time. It's no wonder the spammers who are trying to pitch their MLM scams post here.
These people are probably stupid enough to sign up. (And Yahoo does nothing to stop them.) I go on here because I know a lot about finance and I like to help people. Doesn't happen often. Is anyone else get as frustrated as I do with these types? How do you deal with it?

I worked with a friend of my aunts for 6 months. She recently lost clients and had to let go of workers. Through her business cell phone plan I had a cell phone. She recently stopped paying them even though I was paying her my part of the bill. Now she is with a different cell company and wants the last payment on the phone. So I offered to pay them directly with my credit card. She wants the cash. I feel she will not pay the cell bill with it and I dont owe her, I believe the money I give her should go to the cell bill? Should I give her the cash or tell her I will pay it directly myself or not at all?

Banks have always used rewards for marketing. Like giving away toasters for opening accounts. Now banks are using rewards like ipods and gift cards to sway people to open accounts and/or switch financial institutions. What reward/gift would make you open an account?

My wife and I have Roth IRA's. We're close to the income limits. I would like to setup a monthly contribution rate, but I don't know if I will over contribute because of year end bonuses.

Should I contribute once, at the end of each year (I know I'll miss out on the interest)?

I also read about being able to contribute some into a roth and some into a traditional IRA. If anyone can clear this up it would be helpful.

Either way, what would happen if I over contribute?

Thank you.
