Well, right now I have $500 in a savings account at ING, this summer I should make quite a bit of money, which I'll use to pay for my apartment and bills which I'll be starting next fall, and any excess will go into the savings account. I feel like my money could be working harder for me, instead of just the 4% annually in the bank, but at least this way it's gaining a little and staying out of my checking account so I can't spend it.
I just got my first credit card in the mail in the past couple days. It's got 5% back on gas and groceries, everything else is 1%, with me delivering pizza this summer and prices for gas as high as they are that 5% should really add up. I've been reading up a lot on stocks, bonds, all types of investments, and I still just have no idea what to do with my money. Yeah, right now there isn't much, but I should still be able to work with it, and the amount will increase gradually over the next few years and I'm just not sure what to do with it. I'm still somewhat interested in the real estate and rental, but I'd like to put that off for a few years until I'm in a better situation, and more comfortable about where I am in life.
