I plan on dying before retirement. Right now I have no job, about $1000 in the bank, and have no idea how to pay for (really good but expensive) college for the next 4 years.

The only thing I'm thinking about moneywise right now is how to pay for SMG2 this week.

I'll maybe start investing once I get all my shit together. Did a project in school where I invested $30,000 in the stock market and at peak made $6,000 from the portfolio. Right now it's down to $4,000 though :&

What kind of window of time did you have there? Four months? Three? Less? Those exercises tend to be fairly useless because they don't teach you to look at the market long-term.

Four. It's not like we could sell and buy stock after the initial purchase so it waas absolutely worthless in my eyes.

 

OT: I invested in News Corp because I knew Avatar was going to be huge. The movie sucked but it was the best performing stock.
