19 to 25 Years Old Just Starting Out!
Since I see the question every day on BP. I guess I'll start a discussion on it.
To the newer investors out there that want some advice starting out.
Recommendation... Create a stable income first and then start investing for long term wealth. If i were 19 today I would try to get a skill that is in high demand. A special trade or licensing or technical based skill. Those are stable skills that drive a stable income. Then I would invest for longterm wealth.
