I'm a little green when it comes to investing etc. What I meant to say was my 401k is completely in mutual funds. The bulk of her money is in stocks, but I don't know which because its not really my business.
As far as what I want the money to accomplish: I need retirement money and that's really it. My children already have substantial college funds and nothing short of complete disaster would put us in financial dire straits. In summary, I want my inlaw's money to allow me to retire early.

Me too, except they are broke.

My recommendation would be to buy stock in companies that make money and products that you enjoy. For example, in my Roth right now I own stocks like Sirius, Pandora, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (own Keurig), and Coinstar (own Redbox). I am in no way endorsing any of those stocks, just trying to give you an idea of how I approach it. It is riskier than a target date fund, but more risk could equal more reward. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconPimp.gif)
