To start out, I would prefer to do something less risky that I can understand and manage myself (I don't 'get' the stock market). I am not at a point where I have solid plans about what I want to do for the future regarding money, I just know I don't want to be totally without a savings and that it's best to start thinking about retirement sooner (late 20s) rather than later.

Thanks, RT, for the advice. I will look into that link. Happy investing.

Another point I didn't mention originally: for the moment, I would like there to be some fluidity to the money. I would like to be able to access it somewhat quickly in an emergency. Does that affect where I should put it?
