Here's a site that describes MMA's.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_market_account
A MMA is a ok place to park money, but you can get a much better return on your money using stocks and/or mutual funds. Of course, all this depends on your goals and your risk tolerance.

A money market is a mutual fund that purchases short-term fixed-income securities such as commerical paper an Treasury bills.
A money market account (MMA) is an investment that approximates the return on risk-free investments (e.g., 13-week T-Bill). The return will fluctuate though as interest rates rise an fall. At one point a couple of years ago, the return on a MMA was about 1%. It is now about 5%.
Those returns are far below the historical returns for stocks, as expressed by the S&P 500. That index has a long-term average of about 10% per year, but there is risk. Bear markets do occur. You have to be able to hold for a reasonably long time, perhaps a market cycle of two.
Investment by its nature is meant to be a long-term program. Young people who can put the funds away for a long time should consider stocks, not money market funds. But one should also be able to handle the ups and downs of the market.

Pays you interest on what would otherwise be a free checking account.
May or may not be insured by the FDIC.
Best return = highest risk. My bet is you can't afford the risk - so S&P Spiders would be about as risky as I would get with lowest load.
