I'd suggest you start with Fool.com [1]. They'll clue you in to the basics of investing, and show you ways to invest smaller amounts of money without drowning in fees. They also help you assess whether you're really ready to invest. For instance, if you still have credit card debt racking up double-digit interest, the interest you pay will almost certainly outweigh your investment income. So you're better off paying down your debts before investing.
Assuming you have no debt, though, you're probably looking at either mutual funds (which often have a minimum investment of $500 or more) or Dividend Reinvestment Programs, or DRiPs [2]. DRiPs, and their cousins, Direct Stock Purchase Plans (DSPPs) allow you to buy stock directly from the company with little to no broker fees, using sites like Computershare [3]. Sites like Sharebuilder [4] provide a similar service, making purchases for you on a regular basis. They charge $4 for most trades, but offer far more companies and better support.
Once you get $2,500 or so under your belt, you might want to consider getting into mutual funds or opening a discount brokerage account at somewhere like Ameritrade [5] or Charles Schwab [6]. Mutual fund houses like Vanguard [7] and Fidelity [8] have long histories and typically charge no fees to buy into their funds. This is a good thing, because it means all of your money goes to work for you, rather than some salesman taking 5% of your money off the top. If this is retirement money, bear in mind that many mutual funds and discount brokerages have little to no minimum investment to open an IRA.

this happens frequently, quite if the couple is youthful and in basic terms starting up out of their lives and careers. Assuming the gap is giant and the time, like college or a sparkling job, is in basic terms as large, that is somewhat asking to a lot, to assume the like to very last. Married people get divorced always, and they stay facet by skill of facet, which of route, ought to correctly be the reason for the divorce. lol different couples chop up up, love regrettably, for most folk, isn't eternal, yet frequently fleeting. even inspite of the actuality that even as we are in love, we've self belief it to be so. all of us favor business enterprise and companionship, and people close to to us.
