<prompt> Human: I have been looking to invest for a while I just dont know how to start... Thanks!  <response>: Hey I was in your position 2 years ago. PF didnt give me the best of advice since I didnt outline my circumstances, nor did you. Qs:1. Are you going to College?2. Do you have a safety fund3 months of expenses insurance, food, clothing, fun, as well as X dollars for your car if in need of repair?3. Will college be paid for? I ask because I made more than 1000 profit going to school, and it actually means you can have more than just a Roth IRA!My actual advice is a roth IRA once youre 18. Its honestly the best, and most other ways wont be accessible since youd want more money and you may not have it.
