Remember the saying "Slow and steady wins the race?" Turns out it's true. Slow down at work, with your partner and just in general. You may be surprised at how much sweeter life is when you aren't looking at it at warp speed.

Question:Where do I even start?

I have a little bit of cash saved up, but I'm not sure what investments I should look at first...besides beefing up my DVD collection. Everything I read is confusing...market is down, real estate is bad, banks are losing money. What should I do?

Answer:

How about upping your 401K contribution at work? Or score an IRA. If you're not sure, try a CD for six months. You won't get rich but maybe you can keep up with inflation.
