Okay, I am dumb in the area of financial investing. I make a decent living for where I live, but not much compared to the national average. Credit is average and below, no bankruptcies, repos or defaults, just alot of lates. I have 2 kids and I want to start using my tax refund checks to use for their school, cars, emergency fund, etc. This year I got $5000 total filing joint. We need to use the money to pay-up bills, and do some minor work at house, but I dont want to spend the money and have nothing left. Banker recommended a cd, and then borrow against the amount. He explained everything to me, and it sounds good, but I dont know ANYTHING about this. The more help I can get here, the better off I will feel. Please answer in lamens terms. I am trying to do what is best for my kids and my financial future. If the cd is the way to go, we are wanting to do this every year from now on. Good Idea or what is better? Thanks much in advance!

I currently bank of Bank of America. I am disappointed in their low interest rates and am thinking of switching to a brokerage or mutual fund firm that handles checking and savings accounts as well as retirement funds. Can anyone recommend one that yields a decent rate of return with low fees? I'm also thinking of possibly linking a Capital One 5% money market savings account to my existing accounts. Does that make sense to do?

Obviously it depends on different things but on average, about how much should your net worth be by your mid 30s (cash, accounts, investments etc)? Not talking about things like inheritance, but how much $ you have saved/invested for yourself. Serious opinions only please.

My daughter is 20 years old and is better handling her finances than most people I know. She has no idea what to do with this money because she does not want to spend it , nor does she want to tie it up until she is ready to retire. She wants to be able to have access to it should she need it for something important.

There is 9 years left on the mortgage. I lose the tax deduction if I pay off the mortgage. I lose the appreciation potential if I sell the stock. I gain ~$900. a month by not having to pay the mortgage, if I pay it off.
