Q. I keep hearing about alternative investments like real estate. I can’t afford to buy a house. Is there another way to buy alternative investments like gold?
How can I pick the best international investments without taking on too much risk? I’m seven years from retirement but I know I need growth. And what markets are looking good these days?
When my mother died two years ago, she had a safe with $100,000 in it. My brother, who was in charge of the estate, never added it to her assets. The amount would have put my mom over the $675,000 limit. I just found out about this and I feel a little guilty. What should I do?
