<prompt> Human: Im 17 years old and have started working full time and have been looking for some information on long term fixed return investments. Any advice would be appreciated.Edit: UK basedAssistant: fixed investments could be something like government bonds or a simple savings account.all of these currently dont have a return that would really matter but its better than nothing i guess.Human: Well as im only young Im okay with a smaller return as I have long time to get returns from it.  <response>: Its actually the opposite. The younger you are the more aggressive you want to be with your money since you have time to go through upswings and downswings. A 60 year old retiring in 3 years cant afford to lose a bunch of money, but you can since you know youll have plenty of time for your investments to coverUnless you are planning to use this money soon for college or something
