Your risk tolerance is personal. You can't summarize all married people with kids into one risk level.
Do this quiz to get more insight into how you want to invest:

If you want a quick return on your money then trading in cfd,s is the way to go.
You dont actually buy shares as such but buy a contract on the assets.
You then earn or lose money on the opening and closing price of the asset.
Many people have got rich very quick from cfd's but there is also the risk of losing money quickly.
Finding a broker will help as they can advice you on stops that sell when the
asset falls below a certain amount you can afford to lose.

Your risk tolerance determines how well you can handle the ups and downs of the market and what degree of safety need and the risk you can handle in order to preserve your savings and income.and meet your goals. At this point you should be a between 10-30 percent invested in fixed income investments and the rest in stocks, with about 20 percent in international and the rest in large and small cap funds. The rule of thumb is that you subtract your age from 100-120, as people are living longer and working longer, and thats how much you should have in stocks. |

You are missing two parts to your question. 1 when will you need your money and 2 how will you react in a down market: buy more, keep what you have, or sell what you already have. Answering these questions truthfully will help you and your financial advisor determine your risk tolerance. |

If you're easily meeting your bills you should be in a high risk tolerance range in your age bracket so you can grow your income and you'll have plenty of years to make up for any one weaker year of investment performance. |

That is something that is somewhat of a personal preference. I would have no idea what your risk tolerance is.
Some of the factors that should enter into that decision might be the following:
Amount of capital you have. Those with more capital can usually stand a little more risk. Those with very little capital should be considerably more careful.
Goals you have set for yourself. Do you have any plans for example on purchasing a house down the road? Getting married at some point? Seeing all the birds in the world before you leave the world.
Funds to look at: Funds in general are not all that risky of investments. Granted some are more risky than others, but very few would be so risky as buying shares in the stock of a particular company for example. Or a CDO. Or even a 30 year treasury bond for that matter considering taxes and inflation.
Here is what I would do if I were your age again. Consider that my risk tolerance at 30 was a tad on the high side even though I was married and had a house already.
I would put 1/5 of my funds into Chinese and Indian funds or a BRIC fund. 1/5 into individual stocks provided I had sufficient to own at least 5 different stocks. These would be stocks that I thought had a chance to double in price during the next 5 years. Or about 15% annual return. The other 1/5 into PENNX--a small cap fund and 1/5 into T Rowe Price Capital Appreciation Fund. 1/5 into a money market fund. |

You determine you own risk tolerance, do not let some one else tell you what it should be.
You are young, so I would definitely take a long-terrm approach to this.
Your first option, in my opinion, should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.
They are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.
They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down.
There are other investment vehicles available, however, these are the first two I would consider. I have both.
If you decide on Mutual Funds, make sure you do your homework,, as about 75% of them under perform the market.
Good Luck |

Risk tolerance is a combination of external (your finances) and internal factors. Only you can decide. |
