   Save to buy one house to live in and invest In the stock market.  Make sure you diversify your investments in the stock market (mixture of stocks and bonds). You can adjust your portfolio to your level of risk tolerance and your on your number of years to retirement.   Buying one house to live in can save you a lot of money on rent and can be a good tax benefit and can appreciate in value (sometimes).  Buying more than one house can be more trouble than it is worth, and you get a decreasing rate of return for each house.

   In this economy?  First, WHAT money?  and second, with the scandals and cheating that is running rampant, I think if I had any money, it would be safer under the mattress, as in my great-grandparents' day!
