How many of you have tried? I've been putting a little money aside in a mutual fund since I was in my early 20's and I'm glad I did. My wife and I both have a pretty good nest egg in retirement accounts. I was also instrumental in starting up an investment club, and was president. After the experience of the investment club, I started investing some of our retirement savings in stocks as well.

I don't make a lot of money, and I don't have a lot of cash that isn't in retirement accounts. I've been thinking about ways to start earning more money, that also work with my personality. I think I'm going to make more of an effort to make money in the stock market. I'm not after getting rich quick, and I buy and hold... I'm not a day-trader.

The idea came to the forefront in my thinking again after hearing Warren Buffet interviewed on CBS Sunday morning. I like his attitude towards money. He is very conservative, still lives in the same house he bought 60 years ago, and he gives a lot of money away.
