<prompt> Human: Hi all, thanks for taking the time to read my post.Anyways, simple and sweet, my current dilemma is that Im a graduating senior from high school thats been making money from tutoring sporadically throughout the year. Ive saved up an amount thats slightly over 600 - all of which is expendable, and if Ive learned anything from my 7th grade civics class its that just letting money sit around is really stupid and that it should be actively doing something for the economy.Anyways, with the understanding that I have no knowledge of investing in stocks, etc. etc. what is the best thing I can do with these 600 - other than compulsively buy a new DSLR Ive been looking at...?Thanks for any and all advice and help!EDIT: Thanks all, for you comments and inputs. I figured that the 600 figure may be a tad small to do anything significant with, hence this question for rPF - but I guess I just needed to hear it for myself. Anywho, I think I got the answer that I needed. Thanks again to all that helped!  <response>: Save the money for college. That money can be the security deposit on an apartment, an excellent quality road bicycle, or a decent used motor scooter, or groceries for a long time. If youre not going to college, save it up for whatever your plan is. Trade school? Pilots license?
