Hi all! You've all helped so much before, I was wondering if you could help with a completely different topic. I am looking to make an investment, but I don't know where to start. I am 25, have a small lump sum of cash, and want something long-term, not too risky. I will be able to make contributions regularly, at least as far as I can see! I was thinking of opening an IRA. Where should I go? Are mutual funds invested through IRAs?
edit- I suppose I should also say that I am in the US military. Service Members have an option available to us called the thrift savings plan. I was considering going to that, but I don't know if I'll stay in the army for a full 20 years. When I leave the army, I don't want to get hit with some big fees on my investments.
