Best bank for Investments & Savings?
Which is best if you keep your money in savings, adding and not taking out… like the percentage you get of the amount every year. I’m young and trying to figure this all out and how to use and save money wisely, so sorry for the lack of knowledge.
Also I live in Texas if they are different across the nation.
Thanks!

Would it be a good idea to by American Express stock with 90 percent of my savings, if I am unemployed and
News is full of stories that the economy is going into deep recession but people keep buying junk, why?
Everyone I talk to is scared to death that they are going to lose their job, savings, investments and home do to the terrible economy very soon. But at the same time I go over to the mall and it is jammed with shoppers buying things that no one really needs. This does not seem logical.
No one is really immune to the effects of a terrible economy and who knows how terrible it is going to get. The logical thing would be to cut off all unnecessary spending and try to save for the rainy day.
Why do people keep spending if things are going to get bad?

What do you do with your money when you have no debt?
I am in my early 40’s and I just paid off my mortgage. I have about $130,000 in my retirement account through work, another $30,000 in a Roth IRA, and an additional $15,000 in savings/investments. I make $70,000/year, have no credit card debt, and no car payment. Any advice on what to do with my money now?

How much $$$ should you keep in your checking/savings account before putting the rest in investments, stocks?
Do you know what is approximately a normal amount of money to have in your savings/checking account?
I think lots of people don’t like to keep much cash available in a savings/checking account — instead they prefer to put it in investments like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement plans, etc.
But you still have to have some spending money available, of course, so I was wondering what’s an average amount to have? Do you have any idea?
