Professionally, managed investment funds pool money of numerous investors (for example, unit trusts and insurance bonds). Money is what everybody is running after. It is the only thing that people seem to be bothered about. People are not satisfied with what they have and there is a constant strive to earn more. And once you acquire these funds, the next question that strikes you is: what to do with this money?
That is the irony of the situation. Hence, the only other alternative that is left if you do not consider hoarding and splurging is investment. Be it real estate, property or the stock market, people invest their money in these things, which ensures them a fair amount in return.

Am I doing the right things financially? (Answers: 1) (Comments: 0)
I believe I am a typical 33 year old, married male, who earns a decent living and manages/invests my money well, i think, but I am not 100% sure. Most articles and research I see highlights either the super rich or people who have tanked.
I make between 150k and 185k p/year depending on bonuses. My pay has risen sharply over the past 5 years with some promotions and I've increased my investments along the way. Here is a high level breakdown of my financial situation:
Debt:
22k school loans (combined wife and mine into single low interest loan)
Home - owe 350k on a home worth about 420k. I pay an additional mortgage payment per year automatically by spreading that payment out into 12 monthly payments.
Auto - owe about 2500 on a 2004 Durango. I pay $500 per month so I am almost done with that. I plan to continue to dump $500 per month into an account after this car is paid off. The hope is to drive this car for 3-4 more years and use the money from that fund to buy a new, more energy efficient car, using cash.
No other debt
Account balances:
20k emergency fund in Ally Bank savings account. I place $100 dollars per month automatically in this account each month.
10k in liquid savings account. I put left over money manually into this account monthly. I try to keep this at 10k at all times.
100k in 401k all invested in Fidelity 2040 target fund. I now max 401k each year. My company doesn't do a match. They dump profit sharing into the 401k yearly regardless of if I invest into the account or not.
11k in Traditional IRA all invested in Fidelity 2040 target fund. I now max this out at 5k each year with monthly automatic payments.
1k in newly opened Traditional IRA I opened for my wife. I plan to max this out now yearly at 5k and this is also invested in Fidelity 2040 target fund.
5k in 529 college fund invested in growth strategy fund in Illinois Bright Start fund. I automatically invest $300 per month into this account.
Donations:
I donate about 3k to church tithes yearly (I should do better here)
Other than that, that is my financial situation. I spend just about everything else per month on entertainment, food, bills, etc. for my wife, myself, and two year old daughter. We plan on one more child and other than adding an additional $300 to another 529, my current financial plan would stay the same.
Other than maybe some better budgeting to leave some money for some short term investing, is there anything else I should be doing? Anything I am doing I shouldn't be doing? I know Target fund approach seems lazy but I work and travel a lot and just don't have the time to micromanage my portfolio.
From goals perspective, I want a few simple things.
1. Retire early if possible
2. Pay for some or all of kids college
3. Pay for daughters wedding
Again, most investment advice doesn't seem to be geared towards someone like me so any advice is appreciated. I just don't want to "think" I am doing ok if I could be doing something better.
Thanks for the candid feedback Steven. I don't disagree with anything you said. I can definitely do more with my income. I think I should hit up a financial advisor to dig even deeper and get me on the path you outlined below.

I have $10,000 in my savings, and no bills, how can I manage/invest this money in the most efficient way? (Answers: 8) (Comments: 0)
I'm 19 years old, I have no bills, I'm in college but my mom pays for that, and I paid off my car a while ago, and my dad pays my car insurance and cell phone bill. I have a full time job, so I am able to save almost all the money I earn from my job. With this week's paycheck, I just crosses into the 5 digit level in my bank account. Is $10,000 enough money where I should begin looking for some kind of short-term investment or something, or should I just leave it alone in my savings?
