Gaming Resolution

I quit gaming today. elvnsword and I have been fighting about it for months and it just seemed like time to let it go. I was a distraction at the gaming table and frankly, I could use some time without him. Alone time is important. I've been thinking about it and realized that the majority of our fighting now is about gaming and that sending him out every other week to game without me is good for both of us. It was hard though. I am not always comfortable making these kinds of decisions and it made me insecure because he's said quite a few times that one of the things that made him want to marry me. Still made the decision though so go me.

Investing

Does anyone here have experience in investing? If you do, do you do it yourself or work through a broker? Anybody have suggestions of good books on investing that you've read and found helpful? I'm not looking to get into rental properties. I'm just exploring mutual funds and things of that nature and thought it couldn't hurt to ask if anyone had any good advice for me.
