<prompt> Human: Long time lurker here. A little background: I am 26, about to begin graduate school, with 8000 in savings. My classes all take place after 5pm, so a day job is certainly doable. I just want to ask some advice on how to make the best of my situation, or how to turn the 8000 into more money. Thank you in advance for your help.-fritada  <response>: Please read the information found in the FAQ particularly I Have X ... What Do I Do With It?! and the Long-Term Investing Start-Up Kit You may find Your IRA and You: Basic Information and worth a read as well.
