Hello Everyone!
I'm a 21 years old and very much a novice to the investment scene. I live at home and commute to a state college to minimize my liabilities, and have the benefit of having my parents pay for car insurance, health insurance, and meals at home. The only expense I have is the occasional night out with friends. Absolutely no liabilities (death to liabilities! I went to a state school for this reason)
I work at a retail store and make about 16.50/hr while going to college, and make about 1500 a month, 95% of which is untouched. So I've been reading and educating myself as much as possible on bonds and stocks, specifically long term dividend growth strategies. So far I have read the Intelligent Investor, The Ultimate Dividend Playbook by Josh Peters, and The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing by Jason Kelly. (any other recommendations are welcome!)
I've come to this forum to continue to develop my knowledge and to invest my money wisely and defensively to develop a strong financial future for myself. I will likely be a lurker and keep my mouth shut as well as attempt to extract information from your intelligent and seasoned minds!
Thank you guys for the opportunity to let me come here, ask questions, and learn!
