Personal Finance - December 2007

I have some cash, would like find a product with high return but no risk. Is 'Guaranteed Growth Bond' a product I should look at? What does a Guaranteed Bond mean?

I'm looking to get rid of some of my stuff on e-bay. I've never sold anything before through an auction. So I was wanting to know: What's a good price to re-sell an item from its original price (or retail price)?

Let's say, for example, I bought a $40 sweater awhile back but wanted to sell it on e-bay. What would be a good price to re-sell it? At what percent of its original price should it be sold for on ebay? I don't want to sell it for too low because I don't want to lose money, but I also don't want to sell it for too high because I don't want people to not buy it.

I'm 30, hubbie is 39. Combined income is 70 before taxes. We put about 500 a month into his company retirement- some sort of IRA.

We goofed off and saved nothing for years, travelling and all that. The past three years all of our savings have gone towards our house and his parents' retirement.

We own a house, have about 40K more to pay on the mortgage, but also will need to get a new roof and basic repair work, so probably you should think of it as 50K.

We have no other debt at all. We are in good health, have good insurance through my husband.

I have no retirement income through my job. So our only retirement income right now is through my husbands job- the 500 a month.

No other bills. All of our spare income goes towards paying off the house. We should be done with that in about 2 years.

So, what should we do when the house is paid? Good book recommendations? We can live on his income, so we will have about 20K a year to play with to put towards retirement.

c) Contribution limits for Roth IRAs and Roth 401ks.
d) Differences between Roth IRAs and Roth 401ks.

f) Can you transfer a Roth IRA to a Roth 401k and vice versa? How? Limitations?
g) Can you have both a Roth IRA and a Roth 401k?
h) Can you contribute to both a Roth IRA and a Roth 401k the same year?
i) 5 good reasons for using a Roth 401k and/or a Roth IRA. Be sure to include the following reasons:
1) tax advantages
2) Social Security's questionable nature
3) Disappearing pensions
