<prompt> Human: Just a quick background... Im 22 years old, single, making around 30k a year while currently renting an aparment for 550mo. I dont have nearly enough capital to start investing in land or large investments. However, I do have a huge amount of play with my budget since I dont spend close to what I am making. So my question is given my current situation, what would be the best option to begin using that money to make more with it. Right now stocks are an option but I have no idea where to start. I do like to read so any invaluable books on this topic would be a good start. And not that I am opposed to long term investments right now through stocks, I just feel that the amount of return would be too small vs. Buying low and selling high. Again Im open to all suggestions and would like to get a basic idea of options to explore.  <response>: This is a friendly reminder to visit our FAQ entry on InvestingYou might also benefit from this common topic: I have X, what should I do with it?Also, please visit our FAQ!I am a botrAutoModeratorcommentsq11puwhat_is_automoderator, and this action was performed automatically.
