I'd consider talking to a couple investment putting about 3,000 in a mutual fund. 2,500 in a bank savings fund for later emergencies and 1,000 on whatever, you like.

I DEFINITELY wouldn't do what the above poster suggested above with day trading... you want most investments to be long term.

Mutual Funds are relatively safe compared to stocks... but still get an ok ROI, if your reinvesting your profits, by the time you need some real money, you should hopefully have much more.
