if you have that much extra, put about 1/2 to 2/3rds in bonds or a mutual fund, and the other half into some nice blue-chip stocks like big oil companies, microsoft, boeing, or other stocks that aren’t too volatile. then jus let your money grow. if you wanna take on some risk, go to a brokerage and talk to them about what to buy

I have several friends who have opened up ROTH accounts and they reccomend that option. Our generation has to have something to retire with. especially since we’re expected to retire at age 70….

Roth IRA is a good start, how about your 401K or IRA? Do you have stock purchase plan where you work? Do you have a mortgage? if no, you may want look for a small property *which I think you’re single @ 25*, this would be good since you are paying rent right? sock away $200-300 into a savings account.

Hi Jaden,

I suggest you to start your own forex/cfd trading. You should invest some amount for the education or you could educate yourself from the books.

If you don’t want to trade yourself then you may find trader who accepts private investments.

I’m forex trader and accept private investments. I pay to my investors at least 5% monthly for 12 moths. Minimum investment amount is US$2000. If you decide to join me then PM or e-mail (press on my name) and I provide you with further investment details.
As you probably know December is very volatile in currency trading and it could be extremely profitable to start investment now.
Furthermore you could create very profitable investment strategy by investing every month.

Hope for long and successful collaboration

roth ira is a good idea, but you can only put a small amount per year. if you can participate in a 401k, do that. better yet, if your employer has a roth 401k, do that. 401k’s have much higher annual limits than ira’s.

at this age, you should be 100% in stocks/equities. There a $4000 limit on how much you can put into a Roth each year.

However, you can open a mutual fund account to make monthly deposits. I would recommend a fund that mimics the SP500.

I also like: Vanguard Equity Income Fund (VEIPX). That is were I have some of my money.

I suggest you to buy a house (If you don’t have one)

Invest in the Forex, but manage your own money. I use a platform which brings in about 34% ROI on a monthly basis.
