right now, ally bank and ing direct are probably the best all-around options (higher rates plus good reputation/services). starting a Roth IRA early is a good idea for long-term investing. it won't get you rich quick, but there's not much

again, i feel this is a false dichotomy. it doesn't always come down to making the choice of spending an hour clipping coupons or doing something you enjoy. sometimes you have idle time and have the choice between spending 10 minutes to cl
