First things first, please excuse my ignorance. This is my first post on this subreddit and I am a newbie to just about anything money related that involves more money than the price of a cup of coffee.
I'm wondering what I should do with my money in order to have it grow. Do I invest in stocks? Funds? Currently, I'm hoping to get started with Robinhood as kinda an entry to the stock market, but I have absolutely no clue if that's my best option. I have had a very smart teacher tell me to get into real estate asap, because people are always going to need houses, and you own a physical peice of land. This is a little unreasonable for me at this time, because well, I'm 17. I dont exactly have that kind of money.
Other than Robinhood, I also took a look at Betterment. That lead me to come here because I realized theres so many things I could do with my money, and I dont know the first thing about it.
Currently I'm thinking of setting up a separate bank account for my investing stuffs (that's what you do right?) and setting 1 or 2k aside into it. I'll probably play around with Robinhood while I do my research about what the best option for me is.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I know the earlier I invest the longer time my money has to grow, and having something to fall back on in the future when I retire seems like an alright plan :)
