How to invest
It made me
 "I did it"
How I did it: Well it's just a very small investment but I did do it. I did it through my bank. I just think I should try this at my age. I know I should have looked into some investment stuff but I just went with a stock I liked. |

It made me
proud
How I did it: I talked to my friend who has been working longer than I have. She talked to her friend that's a financial investor and had been putting her money in a tax shelter. I basically copied her and put in as much as I could afford. I currently live at home, so I put about as much as I would in rent into the same company she did. Read how I did it…
It made me
Excited!
How I did it: I'm a student, so I only worked this summer before going back to university. I carefully budgeted my year to figure out how much I could afford to put aside, and put it in my savings until I turned 19 this September.

I now have a job but they want you to be there a year before you can do the whole 401k thing. So this one is on temporary hold!

House

stumbled into the possibility of taking a share of the house I’m living in – so putting off buying a car for a few months to plough some money in to this house deal. I have to be a bit smart to get into this with good conditions and risks so I can get out relatively soon with a reasonable profit, and not have it just become a big albatross. I should be able to save at the same rate and soon have enough to start investing in more things – starting easy with index funds, and moving on to shares &c later.

Blah. Savings plateaued. The plan was to ratchet up by shifting savings to a term account $5000 at a time as I save, but after the first $5000 I hit lots of expenses – some of them a bit frivolous. Time to start calling in the cash: sell stuff, cut down on expenses and claim what I’m owed to get things moving again.
I think stocks are going to go down even more

The markets right now are not stable enough for me to put my money in them. I will wait until 2009 for this, after Obama is in office and see what happens. I’m not too optimistic though since the government keeps messing with everything. Bailouts = bad!
