My 6 year old's father passed away in December and he left him a 5,000 dollar life insurance policy. Since I do not need this money to raise him I want to invest it for him but I know nothing about investing. I have looked at savings accounts but they seem to earn very little and I also looked at CD's with my bank but they also do not seem to earn much at all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My husband just had a heart transplant in September. Due to all of the work I have had to miss due to his hospitalization we lost the car that we had. We desperately need another car but can not afford one just yet. His doctor is an hour and a half away from where we live, and he must receive treatment there. I wanted to know if anyone had any suggestions on how we could get a car. Since he was released from the hospital we have had to make the trip back once a week. It is really taking a toll on me. Please help.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 8 years, he got sick 6 years ago with Congestive Heart Failure. They gave him a year to live. Since then I have been the sole breadwinner. I have done almost everything for him including, refilling his meds, taking him to appointments, cleaning, laundry, shopping and working a full time job while taking care of our 2 kids (ages 10 and 3), I am also in school part time. I am 28 and he is 36. Anyway, about 4 months ago he was put in the hospital because of his condition and waited for 3 months before getting his heart transplant. The hospital is an hour and a half frm our house and for most of his time there I was either with him or only gone for maybe a day a week. During those 3 months he was in the same room with the same nurses. He got really close to one of them and they became friends. I did not have a problem with it because he needed more than just me we all need friends right? Well 2 weeks ago I started to get suspious because he was always on messanger with her and if i came into the room he would close the window. So I turned on the archive feture and the next day went and read what they had been talking about. It was 21 pages log most of it about them waiting to have sex. I felt so sick after reading it I left. He had gotten out of the hospital a week before this happened but had just been put back in because of blood clots in his lungs. He imediatly told her not to contact him anymore that they had been caught. I reported her to the hospital and I sent the log to ehr husband. He has no one else but me and he says that he is sorry and that he thought I didnt love him because he could not see everything I had done for him. He is now out of the hospital and they let him move back home. I want to work on it but everyday i think about the things he said to her and it really makes me sick. Also, he did this same kind of thing to me when we first got together, he was emailing his ex telling her that he loves her and wants to be with her. Am I just stupid? Is there any way that I will ever get over this. I am so sorry this is so long, please ask me anything if any of this doesnt make sense.

Thanks

I have 2 boys one is almost 3 and the other one is 10. I live in a little town in Oklahoma and my mother lives 4 hours away in Dallas. For my 10 year olds birthday we all met up in OKC. My mom has almost always come to all of his birthdays. My younger son turns 3 on Monday and I called my mother last night to see if she was going to come up. She said that she does have the money. That may be true but she has never came to ANY of his birthdays. There is clear favoritism, and I am not sure how to deal with it. I do not think that she should treat the kids different. Any one have any suggestions?
