<prompt> Human: As I said in the title I have 8.5k in my savings and some more money in my current account for rent and food etc. I am still at uni and also have a job for 20 hours a week just had summer holidays so spent the last few months working 37.5. I would like to invest so i was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction or give Any suggestions on where to start, I would also like a reading list of some books I could buy. Thanks  <response>: Hey, there are some good bank accounts to keep your cash in with some decent interest but honestly right now keep everything you can liquid. Starting out after Uni churns out disgusting amounts of costs and deposits and fees and blah blah blah.Get into a job, get that income coming in regularly and then start looking at investments. What you have now is a beautiful safety net, which you should keep very liquid.
