As a 20 year old I invested the 8000 or so dollars I made that summer teaching tennis and lessons at a yacht club. It was a one company bet but it turned out alright. Only regret is that I could’ve invested more at the time.

    1. Good job. Most people that age would have just spent it or put it into some lame ass savings account.

    2. Real question is why? Catalyst? I had 10k saved in 2008 after my first year of working but had no clue about investing, saving, retirement, compound interest, etc.

      Holy shit. My grandma did the same thing with me at about the same time. But I only did with about $400 invested. Only made about 15-2ish. I guess I shouldn’t have diversified 😂😂

    4. damn, bro popped 8k into Apple right after iPhone was released. I bought an iPod Touch instead
