What to do with my money? need good advice for future?
-
i keep hearing these stories about people starting to save money when they are young and by the time they are retiring all this interest compounds and they end up with a million dollars. i'm not saying tell me how to turn a $1000 into $1000000 but im asking for good help for what to do with my money. i'm 17 years old and have a checking account. i have $700 in cash right now. i want to put $200 in my checking account then want to do something else with the other $500 that will pay off in the future? what do you recommend? how can i compound this $500 (plus everything else i will add over the years, im only 17) into more money. i want to keep it growing so in 20, 30, 50, however many years, i can look back and say that was a great choice to start that and now i have all this extra money because i started saving when i was 17 in highschool. thank you

Answer:
Get investment advice from uneducated losers on the internet, and when that fails, go to yahoo answers and ask how to tell your wife that you lost your savings to bad investments.

For now, just start with a savings account. When you get a $1000 then talk to your bank/credit union about a CD or something more long term. A great first step in financial security and saving for the future is to have 6 months of expenses saved. Being that you are young and you probably don't have many expenses, start saving for when you do. Make a target like $10,000 and by the time you get their you will have those expenses... then you can move on to more complex financial products.

There is always risk involved with investing money. But a good start would be to put the $500 dollars into your savings account, and then just keep adding money to it.. Keep enough in your checking accout so you can pay for stuff, and to also pay for emergencies that come up so you wont be temped to touch what is in your savings. good luck.

Invest in Canadian oil sands. Warrent buffett and bill gates were just there with the prospect of investing in this new energy

Buy a good penny stock like CIGX and let that money ride until it doubles or triples and then cash out. PIP is another good one.

You should continue to save. There are only two investment areas (positive growth after the subtraction of taxes and inflation from your interest). One is real estate and the other is stocks. You have to pay fees when you buy and sell so the more you put in at a time, the less the fees will eat up your principal. With stocks you should start at around $2,000. With real estate you should start in the tens of thousands. Also don't forget the 3 to 6 months you will need for emergency funds. Getting laid off from work with debt is bad. When you buy, buy in bad times like now. When everyone is out of stocks and real estate, that's the time to buy. During the Great Depression a person bough one million shares (in different companies) at about a dollar a share or less. After the Great Depression ended, he was a multi billionaire. When you sell, sell during good times because that's when everybody that wants to be in is in.
