<prompt> Human: HiI have 1000 I have been saving for a long time and I want to invest it and make it grow. My brother said I should ask this question here.I am 14 and I dont know anything about investing and money. Where do I start and what type of investing should I get started with? I also know that there is sometimes risk and I am inteested in long term and short term.Thanks  <response>: Treat yourself with maybe 300 of it and save the rest. I dont think you can really invest at age 14, youd have to convince your parents to do it. Id recommend just putting the money in a savings account, even if the interest rate sucks. Or like someone else said, buy a used lawnmower for 100, a gas can for 5, and some gas for 10 and go mow lawns in the evenings for 20 each. That 1000 will turn to 2000 in no time. 2 lawns an evening, might take you an 60-90 mins if theyre close to each other. 40 a night minus maybe 3 bucks for gas aint bad for 14 years old. I dont know about everyone else, but if my lawn was overgrown and a young kid came up and asked to mow it for 20 I totally would.
