I'm a 22-year-old single male with roughly 3 semesters left until I graduate with a degree in Communications/PR.
I'm working part time (roughly $16k gross per annum) and I've lived a minimalist lifestyle throughout college. I still live at home, have my car paid off, and am just living as low-key until I graduate.
My parents pay for half my tuition and I pay for the other half, which comes out to $4,500 out of my pocket each year.
In savings I have ~6,500. In stocks I have ~1,300.
Credit Card debt is limited to $600, while in addition I was able to finance a computer purchase (900 over 12 months) interest free.
For the months I am not paying tuition, I surplus around $500, but obviously in the months that I am paying tuition (4 months each semester) I am slightly in the red.
With all that in mind, should I focus on building up my savings or perhaps putting money in my stock accounts and try to reap gains that way?
Any insight from those who were in a similar position as me would be greatly appreciated.
