Hi Everyone,

I've decided that I want to start investing and preparing for my future. My wife and I are 22. What should I know about the different options that are available to me? I'm very interested in starting an IRA - is this a good way to go?

Anyone here invest in the stock market on their own (without a broker)? or what services do you utilize in order to do so.

Just looking for everyone's opinion and pointers. Maybe some good informational websites that I can check out would be helpful.

Thanks
