<prompt> Human: Im 26 and I get dividend checks that I get quarterly that are usually about 400. I go to school part time and I have a trust fund for that and I also work enough to pay my monthly expenses.Any idea what to do with this extra money? Previously Ive used it for road trips but right now Im looking for a more productive way to use it that will make me money in the future.  <response>: This is pretty easy: set up reinvestment at your brokerage.
