I found a neat wiki all about personal finance here.

I also set up my Traditional IRA with E*Trade.  I set up a “complete savings” account also.  Their rate is now 3.45% APY.  There was no minimum balance required.  And if you set it up after 30 days they will put $ 25.00 in your account.  And you can set it up online in a matter of 10 minutes. 

Since I have funded my IRA now I can finish doing my 2007 taxes.  Mine are not too difficult to do as I use TurboTax.  How do I do my fiancé’s taxes.  He needs to file so he can receive the economic stimuli payment.  But he received no w-2 as he earned 0.00 wages this year.  He is a full time Nursing Student.   I will work on this over the next few days. 

The question is how do you file without an income?  The government sent all those letter to everyone advising no matter what every needs to file and then we will all get some economic stimuli 300-1200 $$$ so we can then in turn go out and buy stuff to stimulate the economy.  Word to the wise; save the money, stash it in an IRA or a savings account.  I will find out shortly if you can file with no financial documentation.
