QUESTION 1
At 43, we don’t have any investments, and my wife and I are looking to start an investment type vehicle. We are going to start with an IRA. We have no clue what we are doing.   Is it better to use a self service tool like Schwab or go through someone like an Edward Jones?   We have a family friend who works for one and had for many years.   I believe he’s “Certified,” whatever that means.

QUESTION 2
This may be a dumb question but, how  much money should we have on hand in our savings account for emergency funds?

QUESTION 3
Tips, hints, thoughts, and suggestions for getting out of Edward Jones? Money is in both a traditional IRA and a Roth. How do I move it and where without paying a lot of fees and penalties?

QUESTION 4
My son is turning 18 and I’m looking to buy him some simple life changing books about how to handle money. I have already purchased the simple path to wealth. Any other recommendations (looking for 1 or 2 more). Thanks!!
