<prompt> Human: I have the luck of being very young and not having any form of debtbeyond emotional that is. I am currently unemployed. From a few odd jobs here and there, I have amassed a meager savings of around 2,600. As I understand it isnt very much, but I also understand at least some of it can be used to make more. So my question is this: What can I do with 2,600 to raise more money. My goal to make at more that half of 2600, or at the very least something substantial. What can I do?  <response>: You wont be able to achieve meaningful returns with that amount of money from traditional investing. Its great that you have positive net worth, but in the grand scheme of things its not a lot of money. Your primary concern with that money is to ensure that your basic needs are met. After that you should consider what you can do to make yourself more employable. Certifications, post-secondary education, etc. Do whatever you can outside of those things to become employed as well. At the end of the day a steady income will be far more valuable.
