How I invest my money?

Do what the Dinosaur says!!!

Start small. I can't stress that enough. If you're new to the stock market game and you're learning the ropes, then start small and see what works and what doesn't. The last thing you want is to blow all your savings on something that looked like it would rise, but dropped.

Also, use money that's lying around and don't really need. If you need that money, but you're hoping it will increase so you can pay the bills and have a little cash on the side, it's a bad move, because you could lose it all and be in debt.

I would use a mutual fund, which keeps track of major companies and does the guesswork for you. The people running the funds but a little bit of your money in a lot of different stocks, so that if one drops, the others will make up for that loss. It's the slow and steady method, but it saves you the work and puts your money in the hands of people who know what they're doing. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.

Real estate. Can't really go wrong with real estate.

Invest in future industries. Things like nanotechnology and biotechnology are likely to grow massively over the coming decades. Once I get money that's my plan

Pick your futures carefully, though. They're very high risk. Something that seems like a good idea today could blow up in your face (or make you obscenely rich). Do some good research.

Isn't the real estate market currently massively FUBAR? I mean they're trying to fix it but... yeah.

I dunno. All I know is that my parent's has has increased in value in the past 5 years, over 500,000. I think investing in property is safer than risking it in the stock market. Land in California just keeps going up and up and up.

Buy my crypto blockchain whatever crap coin! Only $99.99 per coin before I cash out and crash it!

A Final Fantasy forum isn't really somewhere you want to be asking for financial advice. I mean sure, there's bound to be ONE person here who is taking an Economics degree (I have absolutely no idea who that one person could be though oh please somebody find them ho ho ho I am funny!!!) but really now. My tips for you: Diversify. Don't just buy stocks, buy bonds too. And don't just buy one type of stock, buy a variety, 'cause that'll reduce your risk.

first of all asshole your economics degree didn't do anything for you, you smurfing show off windbag, you are smurfing 20 years old and know smurf all, shut up

but actually you're right diversifying is a nice strategy and I guess I followed this advice into adulthood and it worked a little bit so ok but still shut up

These posts happening tail end of 2007 is honestly so wild. xD

But also, yes. Maintain a globally diversifed total market index fund and consistently dollar cost average with deposits month over month. The higher your savings rate, the faster you gain financial independence.

Or the casinos and lotteries are pretty good investment. Some call it gambling which I disagree. Setzer from FFVI owns the world only airship thru this so this speaks a lot of volume.

Right now, I'm 18, but I'm thinking about how to invest some of my money, so do you guys have any advice or anything that I look up into?

Sending my message back in time to 2007 when this question was asked:

Facebook is about to pop off. Get after them stonks.

Don't invest. Just find a winning lottery ticket somewhere on the ground. That's my retirement plan!
