<prompt> Human: Guys Im 20 years old right now, and Im basically broke more or less hahaha. But I want to invest a little money in stocks or something of the sort, but I dont know how much I would need to have in order to do so, or whether or not I should even attempt to do such a thing at my age. Edit: This is why Reddit imo is the best social media platform, thank you guys for all the advice and I will for sure listen to you guys!!!  <response>: whether or not I should even attempt to do such a thing at my age. Nothing wrong with investing at your age, however, investing isnt for people who are broke. You need to save up a cash reserve emergency fund first.
