Navy Adult
What type of investments should a young adult start out with?
I leave for Navy boot camp in 2 months. I’m thinking that it would be very beneficial to start investing my money right away. What type of investments should I look into, and what percentage of my income should I be investing?
You should stick with FDIC insured CDs (certificates of deposit) at a bank. It’s amazing that anyone would recommend a new investor to put money in mutual funds or the stock market or anything else. Anything else is for AFTER you’ve got a decent amount of savings.
Before you get a CD you’ll probably just have to get a savings account at a bank. Try to get the best compounded rate you can find. I’d also recommend you go with a local bank. That way you’ll be establishing a relationship with them that might be positive for the future.
I also think a bit of gold is a good investment. It’s somewhat unusual but I like it. Find a coin shop and buy a one ounce Krugerrand!
Once you’ve got money in CDs, then you can gamble on the stock market and mutual funds. Also, real estate is where you live- it’s not an investment.
Save ’till it hurts! Remember: People that call you a tightwad cheapskate are probably broke.
