<prompt> Human: So I just stumbed into a job where I am making good money for a little while before i head off to college. Since my college is paid forfull scholarship and am living with my parents I have virtually no expenses and i have money piling up in a bank account. Now i am wondering what are the best options for putting away money so it actually grows in the future. Basically what are some of the best long term options that i can take to ensure my money actually growing?  <response>: AHEM This is a wonderful post that has been made roughly 2-3 times a day every day for the life of the subreddit. As this is such a common question the mods have helpfully added its own little section in the FAQ. You can find it right here. Hope this is what you were looking for. Cheers.
