<prompt> Human: Hi, this is my first real Reddit post so Im a little nervous. Im Matt, Im 17 and I still live at home. I have a job where I make about 500-700 dollars a month. I have about 750 in savings right now, but I would like to save more money, or for that matter just invest it so I make more, that way I can move out when I turn 18. Any advice is appreciated, thanks! Update: Ive been getting a lot of replies telling me I need to find a career, which I already have something in mind! Im actually already attending a vocational training program for high schoolers at my local community collage, and at the rate Im going, Ill graduate high school with my associates degree in fire science. Im also a volunteer firefighter at our local department. Assistant: Honestly its hard to find quick turnaround Investments unless youre willing to day trade and sit there for 8 hours everyday watching fluctuations. What most people do for investing is put it into other an ETF or they put it into an Autobot broker such as wealthfront. Not to sound old but when I was your age I was working 3 jobs at Target overnight, Landscaping during the day End Pizza delivery for Papa Johns in the afternoons. Unfortunately without expertise you pretty much just have to work at this point. I gotta tell you though its awesome that youre thinking about this now and not later. Human: Hey, thanks for the reply! Investing in stocks is something that really interests me, but Im afraid to get started, Im defiantly doing some more research into it. I wouldnt mind working more, but my mom wont let me work more than 24 hours a week. I also go to school full time, and Im a volunteer firefighter here in my hometown, so I dont have too much free time.  <response>: Well, youre going to have a pretty baller resume when you DO start working. 18 years old with part time experience and a volunteer firefighter? Yeah thats gonna look good.
