Open Question: I need help, to find our where all the money went. I guess I need auditing?

Dear yahoo answers members,
I really need your help and advice. In 2006 I got engaged and started planning my wedding.
My husband and I did not have any money, and I was given permission to use the bank account of a family member.

So the money we used included wedding costs and living expenses for 3 months or so.

Resolved Question: Question on retirement planning - my parents?
(Tue, 31 Aug 2010 14:27:41 GMT)
My parents have asked me to help advise them on their retirement planning. They have set a tentative target date as June 2011. My mom will be 62 and my dad will be 64. They earn between $55 - 60 K, together, per year.
My mom's pension will pay $7,200 per year. Between my dad's 401(K) and their IRAs, they have about 120K saved. I'm guessing SS payments of about 24K per year. They also own 200 acres of farm land that they rent out. After property taxes and some land improvement expenses, they

Voting Question: Has economics changed asset allocation.?

I am a 24 year old single male nurse. I have started a Roth IRA on my own and a 401k through my current employer. I also have some money in mutual funds. How should I invest for retirement? I am planning on getting at least a masters when I decide on a specialty that I would like to go into. I am also looking into joining the Air Force. Any advice is appreciated.
