Each person's case is somewhat different. For instance, are you working? Retired? Collecting Social Security? What other investments do you have? Other Debts. You need to talk with a financial planner about looking at your COMPLETE picture. If you don't have a planner I would ask your friends and relatives about who they use and what their experience has been. I would recommend paying by THE HOUR instead of having someone manage your investments. Believe me its much cheaper that way. Please let us know how it works out. George Jackson

I just paid off my mortgage because as my older CD's matured (5 or more %) it didn't make sense to roll them over at the present measly rates, plus my tax deductions are now too low to use the long form. Which brings me to my question. As I rebuild my "emergency nest egg" where the heck do I store it? Any thoughts other than CDs? If I ladder them out in CDs, 3% for 5 years doesn't seem like a good return, never mind the percent return on short term CDs. I was thinking about some bond funds that I would switch out if interest rates rise. Is there a better idea? Good article; however, what should one do about our other dilemma – low savings rates?
