Investments for a 21 year old college student?
PP asked:
I wanted to put away some money in investments so I can just sit on it and watch it grow. I’m only 21 and still in college with only a part time job, so I don’t have much to put in. Maybe 2 or 3 hundred a month is all I can afford. I’m too scared to do stocks, plus I want something safer and more long term. Should I do mutual funds? Bonds? Which banks or companies should I check out?
