If you feel like doing more… What factors play the biggest role in whether or not I'll retire comfortably? Is it the funds I pick, the amount of money I save, how often I rebalance, etc? – FF at FeelingFinancial.com

Great idea! My question is a piggyback on Jeff's about whole life insurance.
Q: In what situations is it better to have whole life, universal life, variable life, or other investment-based insurances?

I think we're up to 17. I'm going to start at the beginning and answer one question a week on Thursday's. I'll keep everyone updated in this thread.
I'm working on the 1st one from the College Investor for this week!
Anyone who is more of a life insurance expert than I am is welcome to join in and pick one of the insurance questions to answer on my site. (There may be a freelance compensation involved as well). Email me if interested @ barbfriedberg gmail.
Thanks to all !!!

Here's my questions:
Is it better to fund a Roth IRA or a 401K if I can't fund both?
Thanks for answering these, love the new idea for your blog.

HI Money, So glad. I'm pretty proud of it myself. It's a complicated topic and I hope I broke it down for folks looking to decide.
THanks to all who read it.

Here's my Q:
I know I should have some bonds in my portfolio, but the rates are still near record lows. Should I still invest in bonds, knowing there's a decent chance I will lose money over the short to intermediate term?
Serious question, and I keep punting from making the decision. :)
Feel free to include a link to me! Thanks

Biggest question: "What should investors do once they understand that the financial industry takes over 1/3 of their gross investment returns every year, while it adds only a small fraction of that in value?"

Is purchasing foreclosed real estate a smart investment with so many renters and so few home buyers on the market?
