hello Liz, my problem is not starting but where ? I’m not to excited about paying $425 to talk to a consultant its probably worth it, but i would like to try on my own first. I’m 66 and plan to work until they kick me out and my health is excellent . I give 20% weekly of my paycheck which is $200 weekly to my IRA , No matching IRA at work. I get an additional $1850 monthly for Survivor Benefit, i want to invest this money. I plan on using Motley Fool stock advisor program and Vanguard as the Broker. This is before tax money so is another IRA or Roth IRA my next move ? I’m not sure how much i and invest yearly, but i would like to invest at lease $1000 a month. Also i’m concerned about the tax’s on the withdrawal ? Right now in my life i have no bills, I do have 4- Credit Cards with no balance ! i pay the off every month. Liz last but not lease i have a FICO score around 800, i only say that because it proves i am conscious of my spending habits. Liz any help or guidance would be appreciated . Michael
