I LOVE The Office | Best Investments for newlyweds? |
My husband and I just got married in November. We are now at the point where we are saving monthly and want to know the best investments for us? We currently rent and are looking into buying our first home in a couple of years (thinking of starting a family at the time too) when we return to America (living in Tokyo now). |

Saving is good.
Debt free is imperative to remove one of the greatest stresses on a marriage. Once you are debt-free a lot of financial arguments seem to disappear.
As to real Estate, I don't know about real estate in Toyko, but in most markets renting probably makes more sense for a 2 or 3 year time horizon. An earlier answer suggested buying in U.S. now and renting it out; I have been a long distance landlord here in U.S. It is hard and stressful.
Once you are out of debt save your money in a series of CD's that will mature when it is time to buy your American home. check out www.bankrate.com for some ideas on what and where you can expect to earn interest.
PMI is a hideous insurance that comes with home mortgages where the down payment is less than 20%. Be sure to save up so that you can put 20+% down when it comes time to buy.
Good Luck and Congrats. |

Put 20% down to avoid the added cost of otherwise required loan insurance. |

Your best option is to try to save as much money as possible. Put it into a savings account and when you accumulate enough to buy a CD, put it into CDs. Eventually, as you save more, consider putting some money into a good mutual fund.
To buy a house, you should have at least 20 percent of the price available for a down payment, plus a reserve of 3-6 months monthly payments.
A plan of continuous saving is essential. A home mortgage is OK, but avoid consumer debt at all costs. The interest is high and it is not tax deductible. Use credit cards, but never carry a balance from one month to the next, and do not charge more than 30 percent of the available credit.
When you "need" something (that means want but can do without), it is best to save money until you can pay for it. Most people finance a car, but you can get a good used car for $5,000 instead of buying a new one for $25,000.
With that approach, before you know it, you'll be able to pay cash for the $25,000 car and anything else you want. |

Since your savings goal is fairly short term, put your savings into something stable like bank CDs or money-market funds. Pay off any consumer debt you may have.
At the same time, you need to think about starting to save for retirement. Use employer plans if they exist. Otherwise, look into Roth IRAs. |

The first rule for investing should be to conserve your resources. Primarily by avoiding paying high interest rates. Buy a home and pay it off. Keep all debt as low as possible. Debt free is best. Then no matter what happens your living costs will be low and your needs will be much easier to meet.
Concurrently, begin saving so that you have a basic and safe fund to deal with emergencies. Don't pay attention to "one size fits all" numbers that some advisers like to toss around. Evaluate your own circumstances and adjust your savings over time as your situation changes.
The next step would be to set up an IRA. Then if you have the resources put more money into the stock market or rental property. Depending on which you feel knowledgeable in and comfortable with. |

Figure out which one of you is the spender, and which is the saver......The saver needs to run the checkbook and constrain the spender, the spender needs to keep running their mouth to feel better.(saver:"No honey, there is no money in the checkbook to spend").....when you figure this out you'll be just fine.
as you can see, the saver has the toughest job. |
