No offense, but you're one of the last people I'd take financial advice from.
 It's good to have savings at various levels of volatility. My emergency fund and house fund are staying put in savings accounts or CDs. I want stable gains since I plan to buy a house in a couple of years. My IRA, on the contrary, is in very aggressive, very risky mutual funds. Once I've bought a house and aren't funneling most of my savings into that fund, I'll worry about playing around with the stock market.
