Brilliant! I heard thats what all the $10.99 Money managing books recommend!! He has almost 24k in assets at the age of 19 and is clearly a kid who works for what he has. He doesn’t drive a SIQQ car with loans or debt out the ass and 0 in his pocket. So because he’s not hood rich, isn’t leet on this site, and not a pro at investing at his age he’s dumb. 👏 Good argument. ---

I think your VERY financially stable for a 19 year old.Fuck, most my friends live paycheck to paycheck and there in the their early 20s.I would personally put more money into having fun.Go out spend money,do stupid shit.Your only young once and if your going to be an engineer you should be making the big bucks once you graduate. ---

only positive things ive heard about so far is the chinese and indian markets, and over the last year lots of companies such as amazon and yahoo have gone up more than 60% in their stocks, atelast according to smart money magazine the way these guys make it look is basically putting 5 grand away into a stock that they recommend, and a year later, it goes up like 35%, and you dont hafta pay attention to it, and it seems that theyre almost 100% right, ive been looking at their annual sotck overview issue, comes out once a year, and ive looked at the last 5 years, and theyre really accurate, i got this huge itch to just go shove 5 grand sumwhere and come back a year later to see how lucky i am, this years winner is suppossed to be sum medicine company i cant remember the name ---
