I have been working since I was 15. As I’m now nearing the end of my junior year, I spend very little money outside of necessities. In short, I have been working roughly 27-30+ hours per school week and, as a result, have been struggling with stress and depression. Moving forward, I know I need to work far less during my senior year and I am currently looking into ways to invest my savings.
I am saving up for college. The university I am looking at costs $25k/yr, but they offer a five year masters program and accept up to 60 CLEP credits. I am very fortunate to have a $50k college fund from my great-grandmother and $5k from my employer.
I make $11/hr (min wage $7.25) right now, and expect to work about34-37 hours a week this summer. (~$370-400/wk before Uncle Sam takes his portion) and am set to receive a promotion at work come mid-June and will make $11.50.
Expenses: $126/month car insurance, $80/mo. phone, ~$80/mo other expenses (gas, oil changes, etc.)
I have been looking into stocks recently but in this market the risk is much greater than the reward. I’m not sure of what route I should take, Any help would be appreciated!
