conversation: User (tf0ng): "Hi,\n\nI am looking to start an IRA and other investments and was hoping to get some general advice in where to start. I am currently 24 and make roughly 37k a year. I live at home so I currently have little to no expenses. I would like to move out and buy my own house in the near future. My parents would help with a down payment for the house. I just want to make sure I am properly planning and investing in order to purchase a house and ensure retirement fund as well. Thanks in advance for any help."
