INVESTING: Dollar-cost averaging has flaws, but can be a good option for a nervous investor

Fleeing the market a few months ago might have seemed an easy decision — potentially painful, yes, but easy, because your gut told you to stop losing money fast. Now many investors are in the confusing state that comes after a mass exodus from stocks. The question: How and when do you get back into the market?

Grocery store savings go beyond coupons and sales

The average American family of four spends about $5,000 a year on food prepared at home, according to the federal government's Consumer Expenditure Survey. So a 20 percent savings could yield a cool $1,000.

YOUR MONEY: Are brokered CDs too good to be true? Look closer

Even relatively safe, federally insured certificates of deposit issued by banks and credit unions can pose hazards for investors seeking to squeeze the biggest returns from their portfolios amid a slumping stock market and historically low interest rates.

INVESTING: Fear can force better investment planning

You might be scared, but that's not always bad — if you channel it into action. The stock market and housing market crash, plus rising unemployment and harsh credit card terms, have made Americans aware that their financial futures are fragile. But out of the pain has come laudable behavior: People are thinking twice before spending on a whim, for example.

YOUR MONEY: A way to boost Social Security

Upon reaching full retirement age — now 66 — a married individual is able to pick and choose some benefits. Married workers are entitled to a retired worker benefit based on their own earnings. Or they are entitled to a spousal benefit equal to one half of their spouse's benefit claimed at the full retirement age.

YOUR MONEY: Madoff mess should make us more wary of scams

Everyday investors feel they aren't anything like the well-to-do executives or celebrities who lost millions when they invested their retirement savings or their charitable money with Madoff.

YOUR MONEY: MarketRiders may be the answer to your investment questions

Wading through the choices can be daunting. But like most consumer choices, the answer comes down to cost and knowledge. The more you know and understand about the product you are buying, the better deal you are likely to get.

YOUR MONEY: Most couples out of sync on retirement plans

Fidelity asked 500 couples age 45 and over about retirement and how much they agreed with their spouse on what will happen when the day comes to stop working. You might guess accurately what the results were — not a lot of couples agreed.

YOUR MONEY: Factor fees into investment decisions

Q: I received a letter from my financial adviser that said I would have to pay a higher percentage in fees because my account size fell below $250,000. The reason my account fell below $250,000 is because the adviser lost money on the investments. To charge me more seems outrageous. Do you agree?

YOUR MONEY: After big losses, it's time for a rebalancing act

Q. I'm 24, and I've been investing in a target-date fund in my 401(k). I've lost a lot of money and have been reading that it's good to "rebalance" everything in the 401(k) after losing money. Does that apply to target-date funds?

YOUR MONEY: With retirement incomes taking a beating, some are looking at fixed annuities

With retirement savings taking a beating since October, the decline in the stock market has chased savers into more conservative investments. One of those is a fixed annuity. These products often guarantee a fixed monthly income stream for life based on the amount invested. Sales of fixed annuities are up 78 percent in the first three months of this year compared with the first three months of 2008, according to the Beacon Research Fixed Annuity Premium Study.

YOUR MONEY: Don't fear looking at your 401(k)

It really is safe to take a peek at your 401(k). Do not, obviously, expect to see the same riches that you saw back in the fall of '07 or maybe even summer '08.

YOUR MONEY: Honey, we need to talk about retirement

Only 38 percent of couples said they make decisions together about their retirement finances, and only 15 percent of couples are confident that either spouse is prepared to assume financial responsibility if one spouse dies, according to the survey of 502 married couples conducted online in April by Richard Day Research for Fidelity Investments.

ON THE MONEY: Investing with a conscience

Would you like to build an investment portfolio that includes companies and funds that reflect your personal societal and environmental concerns? If so, you might want to explore socially responsible investing (SRI).

YOUR MONEY: Don't let bad news derail your planning

With many of us seeing the value of our retirement savings lower than a year ago, it has caused a panic about whether retirement is even an option anymore. Yes, lower savings does mean work may not end as soon as we are hoping, but it doesn't mean that it's now impossible to stay on our original track..
