good bump, good advice.

i don't have an ira, nor do i really know how to set one up. i'm just getting like 1% at ing... anyone have any advice for moving this money into an ira? i'm a complete noob/idiot when it comes to this stuff.

I didn't see anybody answer this explicitly... If you have an ING account, it's easy peasy. You can even get a free $25 iirc. Just open a ShareBuilder account, it'll be auto-linked to your ING account. I used that to buy my Target stock and such when the economy was in the pooper. Incredibly simply and I'm 99% sure they have an option to open a ROTH IRA account as opposed to something else. Let me know if you need any other help.

For a Roth, you just keep adding money. Nothing you have to do.
The money managers of the Roth invest your money in various funds for you.
