invest wisely

so yeah, as per previous entry, “investing wisely” means “not investing at all right now”. But i will want to invest in the future, so this’ll prolly end up back on the list.

I”m going to play a bit of semantics on this one, focusing on the word “wisely”. See, I was considering putting money into mutual funds or some such business, but then I realized that that might impact upon financial aid that I might be awarded when I go back to school. Right now, the money’s in a cookie jar, and no one knows it exists. If i invest it, I”ll prolly have to claim it as an asset, and then the financial aide people won’t be so generous with the funds. I’m not a rich girl at all (i only have like a grand in the jar, not even enough for 1 semester @ community college), i just know how to pinch pennies. And while i coud put the pinched pennies into an investment locale, I”d rather continue pinching htem out of sight and away from the watchful eye of the financial aide people, and the IRS for that matter. What they don’t know can’t hurt me.

I put “invest money” on my list of Things to Do this week. I think I’ll try to talk my mom into going down to the bank with me and figuring it out, cuz I just tried to get a taste of investing online and it made me so dizzy, I still have the jibblies. B1class? No-load fund? Shoobadooba whatnow? All I know is i have a hot stack of cash in a cookie jar in my room doing nothing, and another stack out in various loans to people, and neither acitvity is helping to make me a millionaire by 30.
