I have 0,000 cash to be used for all my expenses during 5 years of school and am looking for a safe, hands-free place to invest it. I have worked out my budget for the next 5 years and this money should be enough to cover my expenses if it grows above inflation. I am not interested in purchasing real estate, owning a business, or managing a large stock portfolio, so I would be grateful for any ideas regarding the best way to invest this money for the next 5 years. I will need to be able to withdraw 20% of the money each year to cover my expenses. Money-market savings accounts and certificates of deposit do not appear to have high enough interest rates to be viable options. The only option that I have found so far are Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) and Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities (VIPSX) looks to be the best TIPS, but I don’t know enough about inflation, diversification or investing to know if putting the entire 0,000 in a TIPS for 5 years is the best option. I would greatly appreciate any financial planning advice regarding my situation. If you could map out the specific investment vehicles or sketch a composite portfolio for the 0,000 I would be very thankful. This would be easier for me if I was investing for the long term, but my 5 year window, expense requirements, and the current inflation outlook and bear market make my situation very confusing. Thanks for your help.

Did the job growth lead real estate price to prosper? Was there economic overflow with the mall in that area that proved to be worse for the area? What sort of areas did the best? What it necessarily the real estate closest to the mall, or the nicer neighborhoods closest to the mall? Would a real estate investment like this be a sound investment if it were to happen again?

I’m selling a house and I have conflicting information on what the real estate commission should be. It varies from 4-6% depending on who you ask.

I’m an out of college associate for a research company, and living at home has afforded me the opportunity to save up some money. I currently have an an online brokerage account and hold some ETF’s, but am looking to become a little more involved in terms of personal investing; rather then letting my money sit in a checking account. Where can i find a forum or good site that discusses personal investing?

My partner is a listed NY real-estate agent who is not practicing for the past 10 years. We are working on some properties in NY and so looking for sharing MLS listings with others for a fee. My question is it possible? And is it legal to do this?
