Hey /r/personalfinance, I've seen you guys do some amazing work helping out other people, and I'm very impressed, so I thought I'd come to you all for help.
I am a recent high school graduate, 17 years old. I have just secured a part-time (15-hr work week) minimum wage (8.50/hr I think) job. I have $100 in my savings account and ~$150 in my checking account. I will be attending community college in the fall, and switching to a university after a year, so that I can get my core classes taken care of for cheaper.
What I want to know is this: what choices, investments, and savings can I make now to ensure what little money I have isn't wasted? I don't often eat out, I have a Mint account which I check, and after some minor repairs to technology I'm not making any new purchases. Should I get a second job after working at my current one a while, to increase the number of hours worked a week? Should I invest in stocks or savings bonds?
Thanks so much. -ZeroToNero
