[quote=Anonymous]We sold our house recently and have some cash sitting (around $300k). I am trying to figure out what to do with it. The mortgage on our new house is 3.5% so I don't really want to throw it all at that, since I can (hopefully) get more than a 3.5% return somewhere. My kids are 4 and 1 and each have 529s that we make automatic contributions to - one is at about $30k and one is $10k. We max our TSPs (both feds) but we don't have any other savings. I know I should buy ibonds, but that's only $20k. I will also put $25k in each of the 529s. My kids are little so I'm not sure it makes sense to do more than that, especially since I get a DC tax deduction of up to $4000 for yearly contributions (so I think it makes sense to continue those?). I would like to park the rest of it in a low-fee index fund somewhere. Any recommendations? Vanguard? iShares? What funds?[/quote]
